@fredldotme ok, I may purchase the xl and use your instructions here. If it doesn't work is it difficult to do the "rebuild" are there instructions for that? Thanks!

fredldotme

@dieharddan when it's time to rebuild things you might join me over at @Halium on Telegram.

@fredldotme hey so i cant get the sms working properly.... i can send sms no problem however i cant receive any unless i restart my device, and even then i only get the messages that have been sent already... i followed the instructions properly to install it but im at a loss. (p.s- this is my first time using ubuntu touch and im very unfamiliar with it however eager to learn)

dieharddan

@fredldotme cool thanks

fredldotme

@v3gas I'll test this again this coming week, I'll let you know when I know more. If you need SMS I'll suggest going back to Android for now, in the meantime I'll take SMS off the list of working things.

If you want to help out debugging things make sure you have an RNDIS capable host OS on your PC and that you can SSH into the device via ssh phablet@10.15.19.82 from the command line. If that works I'll give you instructions on how to debug this.

If LED does not work then does that mean no flashlight or no screen?

@Hawi It's just the little notification LED most phones have above the screen.

@thilov ok thanks

I purchased a 3A XL and will be trying this soon, has any progress been made on adding this to the ubports installer?

Hawi

Can you use DisplayPort via USB c on this?

dieharddan

@fredldotme For anyone interested, I followed the instructions and was able to install UT on the 3A XL perfectly; with that being said, calls and sms out work perfect, but not sms in, mms or data, and its because im not able to add or edit the apn, the setting wont stay when i change them.. Is this issue also on the 3A?

I have and reported this same issue with pinephone as well

dieharddan

I was able to get the apn settings to stick and everything works except sms in as mentioned above, im willinf to help debug this with some guidance to get this working

Also, GPS is working perfect for me!

fredldotme

@dieharddan I'm surprised about GPS, would have to retest that myself.

Regarding SMS: You would have to, at least, check what happens in the logat radio log and, additionally, enable ofonod debugging.

To follow the radio log (Using SSH, phablet@10.15.19.82) :

sudo env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib64:/vendor/lib64 /system/bin/logcat -b radio

Try to send yourself an SMS and check whether anything moves in the log and what exactly happens. Also, make sure you remove any private information from the log before sending it to me or posting it here.

dieharddan

@fredldotme I sent the sms at 08-25 03:07:30.243 (near the bottom), but doesn't look like anything happens, as a test i made a call and it does show logs then, also i used my ip address instead of the 10.15.19.82, not sure if that makes any difference..

@dieharddan maybe a pastebin service like paste.ubuntu.com would be better for such long logs. Could you please share them there, post the link here and remove the logs you posted already instead?

@dieharddan I remember going back to an older 9.0 based factory image to get rid of the qcril_google_init() Fail. line, maybe it's related to the SMS receive issues.

dieharddan

@fredldotme ill give it a shot and see what happens

dieharddan

@fredldotme Downgraded to the oldest 9.0 and also tried the newest 10.0, no sms on either
