Daily driver?
-
@augustblake Don´t have a long history (only 6 weeks) but I´m fine with my VollaPhone/GigaSet on UT and it is getting even better every day.
Many thanks to all of you out there. You are doing an awesome job! -
Use my Aquaries E5 since the beginning as my daily driver. Mostly running dev channel. Never a problem. My Pinephone is not there yet. Still hoping though. Keep up the good work.

It looks like this community pretty activate. I'm glad, I was looking into KDE plasma as well but it seems dead or in a slump. I look forward to contributing, and helping it grow.

I was the same, With KDE being my main DE. but I gave up waiting.
I've switched to ubports as my daily driver yesterday and so far so good.Only missing a discord app and a decent browser.

Have you tried the RC channel ?
Most issues with the browser came from the old version of QtWebEngine being used.Problem being recent versions of Qt are not compatible with older kernel found with old android devices.
Edit: I stand corrected
-
@AppLee no, i had not. I will try that tonight.
Thanks -
@gnugeek
You're welcome.
In RC, QtWebEngine is upgraded hence a better support of modern websites.Not everything is nice and clean, but it improves the user experience a lot.

You mean old androïd device will not have an updated qt/morph in OTA13?
2015-2023 : Meizu MX4 now in legacy drawer by lack of pristine battery 😫
2023-***** : Nexus 5 (16.04 OTA 25) for daily use, slowly dying 🤕
2024-***** : Fairphone 5 waiting UT for freedom 😉

This is not the case. Qt doesn't care what the kernel version is. And Qt Company provides builds of latest Qt 5.15 for Android.
Discord isn't a responsive web site, and also "decent browser" is vague and not descriptive at all, while being slightly rude implying that Morph is indecent.

All devices will get the upgraded QtWebEngine.

@gnugeek I love morph-browser ! i confirm it becomes better and better (thanks Balcy
and @UniSuperBox for big big issues solved) and even on my daily phone BQ E5 HD (old kernel) dev and i confirm big improvement with qtwebengine upgrade.
If we go to see all open pull requests, after OTA-13 i think, it's sure morph-browser will become better and better. -
I just switched yesterday to my nexus 5 as my daily. Had to switch carriers since T-Mobile only lets volte devices on their network now, but it was worth iit
-
@david8kids curious what network you switched to? i had to switch phones and would love to get back on UT.
-
@david8kids I'm pretty sure Nexus 5 has VoLTE support in the radio.
-
@gnugeek Do you have a specific list of things which Morph doesn't do well enough? Can you open issues on GitHub for those things which don't already have opened issues?
-
@geekvine Cricket which runs on AT&T. They have until early 2022 before they start shutting down 2g and 3g.
-
@dobey It does I believe but things are a little confusing. I've read it was never enabled through firmware and on Ubuntu Touch at least when you place a call it switches off of LTE. If I type the imei number in metro or T-Mobile it will say it doesn't support VoLTE so they won't activate it.

Thanks Dobey.
My bad I thought it had something to do with the old kernel but I probably mixed up topics.
