        @mariogrip UBports Nexus 5 phone has incorporated Anbox, and when a touch tablet is connected with a Slimport to HDMI adapter it is able to display Main Stage and Side Stage for multitasking:

            @guru Thanks for your help. What is left now is to try, and hopefully the battery life does not decrease noticeable. 🙂

              @RedXXIII I have seen this, but thought it would impact a lot on battery time. Did you notice any impact on battery time when tweaking this?

                @Glatorius Updates to the browser would be really nice. I also think that Telegram improvements would be a good thing as we run the risk of being left too far behind the other branches of this app. Which is not a good thing as Telegram is the main (if not only) chat app we can use.

                    @hans1977se I did not notice impact on the battery (not more than using an app the default way) but maybe you're right. Maybe it depends on the device ? I think it just allows multitasking but when you're done you close the app and I don't think there's something still working on background. The thing is I clearly use more battery because it allows me to use several apps at the same time. So maybe the battery problem is not about the option but about the large amount of ressources used by the device to manage multitasking (it often happens that apps freeze and close).

                      I bought my M10 following the idea (dream..) of convergence. I know that this is not going to happen for the time being. I still consider this achievable (in the long term) and I appreciate your effort. In the meanwhile I thought to re-purpose my M10 tablet as multimedia device to play music and video. However at the moment it is a somewhat disappointing experience: in many situation video playback is buggy ( some avi file refuse to play, subtitle support is missing etc), furthermore BT functionality is limited to certain device. I'll not mention HDMI output as this is a step further . Any improvement in the functionalities for this use case will be really appreciated.

                        Just features:

                        1. Can you take a look here? https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/active?search=2351
                          It's a silo developed to the phone. It makes you to move the cursor swiping in the keyboard after a long press of space key in screen.
                          I tihink that this could be an interesting feature by default.

                        2. Other thing that could be nice is a toggle in battery indicator to keep screen active (it would be better than open the app "active screen" which is really nice, but integrate in indicator i think it would be better 🙂

                        3. It's not very important since how actually bluetooth works, but i think that his indicator should be improved. Maybe showing devices from the indicator, or list of previous connected devices to try to connect them again. IMHO this one can wait to 16.04 ^_^'

                        Thanks for all.

                          @RedXXIII I think the question is only how much more current it consumes. 🙂 Hopefully not too much more, but i think there is a reason why not all apps are automatically added to the list.

                          I'll try to remember to close the apps i add to the list, and then it's probably not much of an issue i hope. 🙂

                            I'm agree with you about background reload of scopes, but i'm not sure if it is the main problem with them. I think that one of the main problem is that them usually don't load any info. Also looks like them should save some data untill a complete refresh of the scope...

                                  @Vehi_MV Thanks for info, I know, one wish list dream is already fulfilled.

                                  And Marius, I know it is already possible with Terminal but what about adding to settings the firewall option. BR. MK

                                      Oh yes! That would be great!

                                      Sailfish has that done in the best way I have seen on any smartphone/touchscreen

                                        @MK73 For printing there was already some work done by Canonical, but I am not sure we can already include it in OTA-3. Because it can only print pdf documents 😉
