        @moem Thanks anyway. I just updated to v277. Now when I select power off, my phone reboots instead. It's time to revert to the regular channel, I think.

          @opolork yes you go to settings, re initialise, delete and re initialise to do so. It is the same than doing a wipe ibstall from the installer. If you backup and restore your things that should not be too annoying.

            @redxxiii Can you elaborate on 'wipe re install'. I selected 'Reinstall all apps' in the Update section. Is that what you are refering to?

              @opolork we cross wrote šŸ™‚ is my previous message making sense to you? My phone is in French so maybe my translation is not using the exact same word that in your version. Re install all apps is for other purposes, like after major OS update.

                @redxxiii I don't see any mention of 'initialise', 'delete' or 'wipe install'. šŸ˜–

                  @opolork ok lets do it a different way šŸ™‚ launch the settings app, choose the very last menu ( should be after the about menu), then the second menu. Watch out ! Don t confirm if you are not sure to be ready!

                    There is this option in the bottom of settings app when you open it.

                          @opolork the first is just to put back the launcher to defaults in the case you made too much tweaks on it. The second is the one I talk about. It will wipe all your data and make a fresh install of UT. The install will be based on the current channel you have. So halium-devel in your case.

                            @redxxiii Damn, that sounds like too much trouble. I think I'll just change the update channel back to stable instead. :disappointed_face:

                            I don't fancy having to take ages re-setting up everything again.

                                I changed back to the Stable channel, rebooted, checked the channel again and it reverts to halium-dev. :confounded_face:

                                  @opolork I have experienced this bug too. Sometimes it can be overcome with patience... or a reset... But maybe someone better than me could give good tips about that.

                                    @redxxiii I was able to change to the Development channel. It remained. The camera is working again (no flash). Torch still the same. When I select shutdown, it does not reboot. So I'm back to where I was with the Stable channel. I just hope things are not too unstable being on the Development channel. :light_bulb: šŸ™‚

                                      @opolork ok great. Maybe you could switch to rc or stable later. Do not expect the flash to work. It will only be the case in halium devel if i m not wrong. By the way you can also join the Fairphone + Ubuntu Touch group on telegram. Cheers.

                                        I'll stick with the Dev channel for now. I presume nothing will go horribly wrong.

                                        Is this (https://t.me/ubports) the Ubuntu Touch Telegram you refer to? I'm already on that.

                                        What's the Fairphone Telegram Group?

                                        Thanks.

                                          In case something goes horribly enough then you can try to switch back to RC.
                                          If it doesn't work because of the horribly wrong event, then run the installer WITHOUT checking the wipe data and you should be fine.

                                              I did another update. It updated and then prompted me to reboot. It then got stuck in the reboot stage. Holding in the power button only made it reboot and then hang again in the reboot stage.

                                              I had to remove the battery to power it off.

                                              I guess, I'll have to install Stable again with the installer (wipe disabled). No other way back?
