[Porting] Call for Testers

Lakotaubp

@j6 I agree this is looking really good already. My mobile data was like yours detected incorrectly and I have now edited mms and data but new connections still not working. This is is the same on another device I noticed (but can't remember which just now, age strikes ) I do have notifications however and the button top lefthand side will put the phone into silent mode. Have yet to try vibrate on it's own. It is very quick and smooth though compared to the OP3 and has an on screen keyboard for setting up accounts, so easy now.

Lakotaubp

Just out of interest does anyone have the on screen stats and 4G on the mobile signal? Noticied 3G but not 4 yet.

flohack

@lakotaubp You can see only L for LTE, and yes, I had that here...

Lakotaubp

@flohack Think it was more of a network thing now. It is there but not that often. Thanks

Fingerprint reader seems to work now with the latest sensorfw changes in the devel channel (auto brightness also fixed).

flohack

@nfsprodriver on the 5T? I cannot believe it

nfsprodriver

@flohack Oh, there is a difference for the fp readers? Didn't know that. It's working on my OP 5 non T

flohack

@nfsprodriver Yes there is a difference which makes it disabled for unlock method selection, no one knows why.

nfsprodriver

Is it possible to merge the anbox-halium patches soon? It would be easier to test the latest Waydroid status without the need to flash the self built kernel after a daily devel update. Or are there negative side effects with these patches like power consumption?
Every time I tried to use Waydroid it didn't boot up because of vibrator issues. Is this something to be fixed before the merge?

flohack

@nfsprodriver My latest state is we have to wait for Wayland support and 20.04 is that not the case? My information says it needs changes in the rootfs as well...
I have no patches that I could merge therefore.
Please talk with the Waydroid developer Erfan first, I dont want to have a negative user experience with a half-baked Waydroid engine rolled out. That makes no sense. According to his last message its not ready for daily, and thats also my opinion.

nfsprodriver

@flohack I see your point. I'll try on with manual flashing and reporting the current state of functionallity here.
Anyway, did you have a look on the merge request in the kernel repo? This is also for the old anbox, which is basically running with this.

I saw it and I need to test it myself first to find out if this works or not. I hope I find time

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.

AppLee

@eragon
You can find the state of a port at http://devices.ubports.com/

flohack

@eragon I think all of that should work ^^

@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...

Lakotaubp

@nero355 4G calls in and out = yes

Keneda

@nero355
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.

nero355

@keneda
Sounds logical! Thnx!

hi everyone. i just bought a second-hand oneplus 5T device and would like to contribute with testing and anything. my background is not technically technical and I wonder how I could help you atm.
thanks for your response.
