        I have installed OTA-16 on my Nexus 5, and overall, it looks brilliant. Well done to everyone involved.

        However, I have one problem. It might be coincidence, but since the installation, Dekko2 has become unstable. On opening, the Dekko2 logo appears, as expected, but then the screen goes blank and the app hangs. New incoming messages continue to be flagged by 'Notifications', but I can't actually open any of them. Any thoughts?

          Hmm, this is odd, as the same behaviour happend when qt5.12 was first merged in the dev channel, but then an update to Dekko2 was release that fixed it. Maybe you are on an old version of Dekko2?

            @povoq When I 'check for updates' nothing relating to Dekko2 is listed. I am fairly scrupulous at checking for, and adopting, all offered updates for installed apps.

              @pglushkov There are more mechanisms on dev, yes, but is important to be aware that being on the dev channel may sometimes jeopardize (before it is detected and corrected) the stability of mechanisms implanted on the stable channel.

                @the_cougar_kid Ok weird. It works for me on Nexus 5 OTA-16.
                Maybe try to uninstall Dekko2 and install it again from the Openstore. Dekko2 has been updated for QT 5.12

                The only regression (issue) that has been identified and confirmed with OTA-16 is the document viewer that does not open office documents anymore (.odt, .docs, etc..).
                When opening such a document, LibreOffice is loading 1 second and the app crashes: https://gitlab.com/ubports/apps/docviewer-app/-/issues/55.
                However no problem to open PDF files.
                It will I'm sure be fixed in future app update.

                For all other features, OTA-16 runs smooth and seems to be incredibly stable and reliable.

                Thank you to UBports for the awesome job!!! 😉

                  @stanwood Oops! I have always checked for updates via the Settings App. After your comments, I tried looking at installed apps via Software Centre, which listed 5 pending updates, including Dekko2. Having applied those updates, it is working fine again. Thanks for the important clue.

                          Sweet! Thank you, UT devs. Your work is greatly appreciated! :thumbs_up: 🙂

                          How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

                            There's a translation regression with french layout in this last OTA, like with most OTA actually, but this time it's pretty much everywhere. There's hardly a fifth of overall OS being translated.

                              @emphrath Perhaps the translation heading is more appropriated (?)
                              Anyway, I confirm there are a few elements not translated in french, such as the whole file section which is only in english, and that would need to be translated as follow:

                              . Publique
                              . Modèles
                              . Bureau
                              . Images
                              . Vidéos
                              . Documents
                              . Téléchargements
                              . Musique

                                          @moem until now dev was alwamost always better than rc or stable. I lost my patience with them and switched to dev.
