      From a user perspective the answer is no. I can not send/recive mms, so my work would suffer. If i was ever in an emergency situation I would not trusth the call clarity. My life could suffer. Around 5% battery phone randomly restarts. There is not a good set of app selection for my use case. I can not trust it but maybe one day. Im learning, think Im going to learn to code to create my first app.
      I would say people have put in hundreds of long hours to gwt her, but we still have a ways to go.

        @trwidick really? mms sending is a thing now? In my entire life I have maybe send an mms once by accident and I don't think I know anyone who uses those either.

        And if you think your life will depend on it, then better not use a smartphone at all. They break easily and run out of battery quickly.

          @povoq Any group SMS is an MMS, fwiw.

            @dobey TIL, but I have never seen a group sms in the wild either... must be an odd bubble I live in 😉

              @povoq Well I have had the same Samsung Galaxy S9+ since I worked at T-Mobile when the phone launched. SMS and MMS have worked flawlessly in the U.S. metro areas with out reliability issues that I'm aware of. It is used daily for business. I do apology's If I came off as satire/cross. I know our needs are wildly different from each other, though they pertain to the same common goal. At work we send photos, and video over MMS, and group messages. Its easier and cheaper than most alternatives. My s9+ has had over a days worth of battery life for the last 3 years. Doctors depend on cell phones, and so do firefighters so I really don't see your point. They are a utility only. My list I made is a suggestion form the 101 Q&A, I decided to post it publicly. I'm new to the community and thank you for your input, maybe you could help me solve some of these issue, or help some one build a utility to change the world.

                the centralized documentation is at docs.ubports.com

                It seems that a lot of documentation and tutorials are also published on the blog, where they are less than easy to find. Might it be a good idea to integrate them into the docs site?

                  @povoq lot of people, including me, use (send and/or receive) MMS quite daily, first of all to send images and photos, it's one of the must have for a smartphone...
                  And those i know who don't use mms, use whatsapp or alike instead...

                  Plus, any SMS that is more than 160 characters, is a MMS...

                  So yes, MMS is a thing the same as SMS, alongside with calls...
                  Smartphone basis with photo, gps, webbrowser, calendar, waking app, mail...

                    Yes, being able to send and receive MMS without problems is one of the fundamentals of all current smartphones and must also become so for UT, especially for all new UT models in development.

                      @keneda I really never saw anyone sending images via mms. Don't have people messengers for that? I mean, why would anyone pay for MMS (or get a contract with free mms) when you can send them for free with a messenger (or at least get more general purpose internet volume). But I guess those people really exists mind blown.

                        @povoq The point of this tread is to give input on what you think we should do better, your dreams and wishes. Your unicorn the one off thing that would make using UT magical. Do you have any valid input? What changes do you want to see?
                        Do you want facebook messenger built in to the os like most android phones?

                          I don't know where do you live but in France SMS/MMS are unlimited and free of charge with any contrat...
                          And i think it's the same in quite all countries in Europe, so yes, MMS is commonly used.

                          Oh and MMS works with any smartphone, no need for the same "messenger" app installed in both sending and receiving phone, it's GAFAM and third part app free.

                            • magnetometer sensor working
                            • protonmail bridge or similar, generic solution
                            • kde connect
                            • purism's effort to integrate xmpp and matrix into chatty is very interesting and integratin sip in calls

                            However, I think the UT developers are doing such a great job, that I almost feel ashamed by listing anything.

                                      @keneda A agree this can be very Important. I use youtube at work everyday. No better way to find a teardown of a laptop that needs a new motherboard or jack replaced. I wish i could code our problems away, but i do not code. The pixel 3a i think has hardware encoding, youtube works quite well, with out buffering, or skipping frames I might be wrong tho.

                                        @trwidick no device under uTouch has hardware decoding working for now, as where the GPU decoding feature is directly used for that purpose.

                                        But devices with enough CPU power can decode without GPU acceleration help, wich is software decoding.

                                        In fact any device can, but some you'll have to stay on SD, where some other will allow HD 720 or 1080p without problem.

                                            A webapp should work fine for that, and you can use Webber to make it a bookmark on your device. Their client app is also now open source, so it should be possible instead to create a proper application rather than using the odd bridge thing.
