Ubuntu Touch OTA-16 Is Here

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.

The deafening sound my FP2 made when someone hang up on me is GONE ! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE !!! My ears are grateful to you guys for all eternity ! This is the best thing to come with this OTA so far for me ^^

Not much difference on Oneplus One... but that is because it was already quite good!

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

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.

stanwood

@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

Not on mine! How did you do that? What update channel are you on?

A Former User

@moem dev r1881

Moem

@marius-ciclistu Aha! Then I'll just wait and know that good things are coming.

A Former User

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

I can confirm that for the Xperia X Performance at Dev-Channel.
Great Work! Thanks
