      @dieharddan I can only suggest experimenting with the config or, if that doesn't fix it, adding fallback behavior to ofono in case receiving SMS fails.

        @fredldotme Ok, let me know if you come up with any other ideas; I will pllay around with that file but not being any kind of developer, I probably won't be able to accomplish much lol

          @dieharddan What you might also want to try is the two properties ro.ril.power_collapse & ro.ril.disable.power.collapse, these might change the behavior of the power savings mode.

          • Reboot into recovery
          • Connect phone to PC
          • Open an adb shell with adb shell
          • Enter the following commands:
          mount /system_root
          mount /system_root/var/lib/lxc/android/android-rootfs.img /tmp
          busybox vi /tmp/system/etc/init/on-post-fs.rc
          
          • In vi enter edit mode by pressing 'i' on your keyboard once
          • Paste the following content at the end:
          on init
              setprop ro.ril.power_collapse 0
              setprop ro.ril.disable.power.collapse 1
          
          • Save and exit by pressing ESC + entering :wq
          • Run umount /tmp
          • Reboot

              Based on what you describe I think that some process or daemon crashes after some time.
              When switching to flight mode you probably kill clean this faulty code.
              And when activating the modem again it works... until it crashes again.

              I cannot help debugging that because I know nothing about it. But best bet is you can find errors in some log.

              Best of luck

                I can't seem to get the os working or to boot on my pixel 3a. The ubports installer says sargo isn't supported

                  @Duhjoker it's not officially in the installer yet. What you can do instead is follow this mini guide right here to force the installer: https://mobile.twitter.com/fredldotme/status/1322714885076275201

                    @Duhjoker the Pixel 3a is now officially in the installer, should be easy to get going now! Make sure to downgrade your phone as per instructions first.

                        @fredldotme after various attempts installed it on GP 3a with the ubports-installer. But having the incoming sms problem described by @dieharddan. Also, Airplane mode on/off enables incoming sms temporarily. Any ideas on how to fix it?

                              @Louie Could you please try the following:

                              • Download https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T_00cBUyWrB3V-QLFxWPbmguYQ-gEdOn/view?usp=sharing
                              • Copy the file to the Downloads folder on your phone
                              • Open a terminal with adb shell
                              • Run:
                              sudo mount -o remount,rw /
                              sudo cp /home/phablet/Downloads/libgbinder.so.1.0.47 /usr/lib/libgbinder.so.1.0.37
                              sudo reboot
                              

                              Also interesting for you, please try to replicate the change here:
                              https://gitlab.com/ubports/core/rootfs-builder-debos/-/merge_requests/18/diffs

                              In case you don't know how to do this:

                              sudo mount -o remount,rw /
                              sudo nano /etc/init/ofono.override
                              

                              Remove the provision, from the file and save (Ctrl+o and enter, then Ctrl+x to exit) and sudo reboot for good measure.

                              Please make sure to try the combinations separately, if any of the changes fixes it it would be interesting to know which combination it was, so please remember that and let me know! 🙂

                                Is it hard to get UT on a Pixel 3a? I think I tried to root it, and it was having issues. I'm fairly tech savvy...just not in this area of Android and Linux.

                                  @Nathan123 rooting is not required but you need to unlock the bootloader. Follow this guide to unlock it: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/unlock-bootloader-your-pixel-3a-0198625/

                                  After that follow the guide, including reverting to the last Android 9.0 factory image and installing via the UBports Installer.

                                    @fredldotme Thanks for your kind help :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: . I tried both options in different order without success. However, when turning airplane mode on messages come through after around 40 seconds. Then when turning airplane mode off message can be received for a few seconds. Please let me know if there's anything else I can try...

                                      @fredldotme Oh ok. I didn't go back to 9.0. I'm currently on android 11. Will do that.

                                      Here's the errors I'm seeing.

                                        @fredldotme I really want to root. Don't I need it to have "complete control" over the phone?

                                          @Nathan123 I'm sorry but this is not a support forum for Magisk and rooting. Installing Magisk is not a prerequisite so please follow the instructions on how to install UT.

                                            @Louie What you could do too is make ofono run in debug mode and figure out what is hanging here, or send me the log in private (it will contain dialed numbers and such):

                                            Connect to the phone via adb shell, then run

                                            sudo mount -o remount,rw /
                                            sudo nano /etc/init/ofono.override
                                            

                                            And append -n -d to ofonod's launch flags.
                                            After a reboot you can obtain the log file from /var/log/upstart/ofono.log.
