      Hi, I'm new here, I own a OnePlus 5T.
      I want to switch to a real Linux distribution, what's the state of this port ?
      I need SMS, MMS, cals, network (LTE, WiFi), audio and Bluetooth.
      I can help to test the device, and I'm OK with finding bugs.

            @thomas-k8s yes sorry, there is generally no VoLTE in Ubuntu Touch at the moment, and its very questionable if it will every be fixed, due to custom undocumented vendor applications. All mobile phone projects outside of Android and iOS struggle with that.

            Even LineageOS does not support VoLTE on all ports.

            BR Florian

            I don't understand that one :

            • LTE = 4G in general.
            • VoLTE has always been optional.

            So...

            Is it possible to receive calls when connected via 4G or not ?!

            My current 4G phone doesn't have VoLTE either...

                VoLTE is voice over LTE, LTE is 4G.
                VoLTE is not working on any UT device for now.
                Yet you can use 4G data on any UT 4G device.
                On those devices, when you do or receive a call, phone switchs to 3g or H or whatever.

                      @owwen Great! The OP5T port is almost finished, so its really a nice experience I think, so try to install it with installer (unlock bootloader first and format data with TWRP if there was Android on it before) and then come back and tell us what you find πŸ™‚

                          I am considering this phone now since all this work is beeing done for it but I need more info like for example : What are my options when it comes to replacing the battery of the phone ?!

                            @nero355 FYI not who you asked, but I can also give you a data point: I recently bought a used one for roughly 110$ (roughly 1/3 of the price for a new one currently as far as I saw). The previous owner used it for 1.5 years and as far as I can tell it still works perfectly fine.

                                    I have been trying ubuntu touch on my OnePlus 5T for some time now.

                                    Some of the thing i have encounter:

                                    • Bluetooth earbuds dont work, they can pair but no sound comes from them but from main speaker.

                                    • Fingerprint works on setting you fingerprint, but there is no way to unlock the phone with it, it simply dont allow you to enable that option

                                    • The notification led sometimes seem to work but most of the time doesnt work.

                                      @paju1986 In my case, my bluetooth headphones work just fine. (Im on the dev channel, maybe there were changes related to audio playback recently)?

                                      I can confirm the fingerprint issue though - I am able to add a fingerprint, but it can not be activeated (the respective option at "System settings -> Security & Privacy -> Locking and unlocking -> Lock security" is greyed out. The fingerprint is reported on the device page as not working though.. Is someone around who would know how to fix this?

                                          @ra yeah I gave up on the fingerprint. When any print is registered Android does not inform us about that and so UT thinks there are no prints at all. So you can register but not enable ^^
