              Maybe we could submit some tests to help out @NeoTheThird with the installer. You could submit the test manually on this site:

                Had the phone completely lock up on me today while downloading a file. Had to hard reboot it.

                  I'm not sure whether this is a device specific issue, but one thing I have been experiencing since the beginning with this port is the following:

                  https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1174

                  In a nutshell, the pictures taken with the camera always have the same orientation relative to the phone, instead being rotated properly relative to the ground by using the reading from the accelerometer.

                  I know this is more of an annoyance rather than a critical bug... Any known solutions or workarounds?

                    @Flohack I have trouble with no sound on incomming calls.
                    I have sound on incomming sms.
                    I'm able to play the ringtones in sound settings.
                    I have sound on alarms.

                    These are the steps that I have done so far:

                    Rebooted the phone.

                    Muted-unmuted, both in the indicator bar and in sound settings.

                    I'm on Devel, moved to Stable after that to Edge.

                    Reinstalled the phone(no wipe) with installer 0.5.4-beta, to Edge.

                    Nothing worked.

                    Is there someone else with the same problems?

                      @Rondarius Just tested alarm, audio, phone and sms on latest dev build. All working here. Maybe you had some sort of crash with audio modules.

                          Interesting, we might have broken it in the rootfs. I also miss sound now, but it worked for months before.

                            Yes it seems the bug was introduced a few days or 1 week ago. People are looking into this...

                                Hmm I got a new problem here: Sudden shutdowns.

                                So basically first I thought I ran out of battery, then maybe the battery gets old and thats why the phone suddenly shuts down, but thats not the case: Just now the phone shut down while connected to charging cable. And with over 60% of battery.

                                Does anyone know about this glitch? I am a fraid my phone starts dying. N6P was a great idea, but it seems the hardware design was poor. Also regarding this 4-core-bug.

                                  Mine will usually shut down suddenly at any point after 30%, and the battery is quite poor. Never had it happen at higher percentages yet (I think), but I'll be watching for it.

                                  I only got to the point where it gave power watnings and shut down at 0 once. I was amazed.

                                  Ubuntu Touch does not seem to be any worse than 4 core android in this regard on my device. I agree with your conclusion: it's a great phone with even greater hardware flaws.

                                    @Flohack That suspicuously sounds like the beginning of the four core problem, if the phone runs hot under the thumb print reader.

                                    But, could also be a faulty battery. I thought I had the four core problem on mine until I found the controller in the battery was failing. It started doing emergency shutdowns thinking the battery was overheating. I wasn't sure, so I replaced the battery, and problem went away.

                                      @Flohack I still think it's worth supporting even with the four core problem. On four cores it still runs as nice or better than the Nexus 5 or Pinephone, with great sound, camera, and VoLTE support.

                                      So, it's a good, and cheap, entry to mid level phone for UT, and more when running 8 cores.

                                        @potet I had the same trouble with the battery on 30% load. This happens because I used the phone every day for more than 3 years. But after changing the battery with a new one I have no such problems any more.

                                          @rocket2nfinity I agree. It might come our way that we need to generally use only 4 cores maybe. If this is a fatality for all device owners after some time or so.

                                          But for the time being I can publish again 4-core kernel to overwrite after any update. Problem is to get it into our OTA-Update scheme, that wont be easy.

                                            @Flohack I have the problem too. Sometimes when I update the phone and it reboots to install, it drains the battery from around 40%. It crashes between 3-28% too.
