Questions before using UT on an ongoing basis.

Moran

Hi all,

I'm going to buy myself a Nexus 5(really best phone).
I want to ask a few questions about UT.

Can I use gcc directly from the terminal?

gcc [options]

Can I run my Python scripts from the terminal?

python3 [options]

Are there commands / binaries that allow you to ping the bluetooth device?
In which countries UT does not support calls and sms?

@moran
Maybe you should consider buying a Pixel 3a/XL instead of N5.
The P3a is fully supported (all working 100%) and is way more recent hardware.
And moreover it'll receive 20.04 update for sure.

UT support calls sms and mms in any country that still support 2G and 3G networks, with any device that supports those countries network frequencies (device sold for those countries).

UT will support call in countries that dropped 2G and 3G, and now only support VoLTE (calls over 4G bands) when VoLTE will be implemented in UT (heavy work in progress).
But for that, device has to support VoLTE, wich N5 is not, and P3a is.

If you talk about N5, it has 4G capacities (=LTE), but only for data, not for calling over 4G (=VoLTE).

Are there any problems installing UT on px3a?
Example: unlock bootloader

Keneda

@moran
I don't know as i never did it on that device.
But it's a google one so unlocking bootloader is endorsed.
And a lot of people here use this device, so you will have lot of help for it.

By the way, where do you live if i can ask ?

Moran

@keneda Russia

@moran
Ok, i don't know when 2g or 3g support will be ended in your country, but i can search that.

Edit : but as i don't speak russian, my results where poor

there is another variant of OnePlus One

@moran
I don't know very well OP1, i believe it may be able to receive 20.04 update, but i don't think it's VoLTE capable.

You should try to get infos of when 2G/3G is dropped in Russia, if not already done like in US.

Moran

@keneda works now but not for long

Keneda

@moran
Sad, here in France we have some couple of years ahead before drop (2g 2025, 3g 2028), we're lucky.

Moran

@moran what about nexus 6p?

Keneda

@moran
Can't tell, if i refer to device list it's a good one, but not 100% supported like P3a.

ok what about the other questions i asked?

Keneda

@moran
I answered only what i can ^^
I'm a total Linux noob, i quite just can click on icons lol.

Moran

@keneda ok, describe the installation of UT on meizu mx4?

Keneda

@moran
MX4 was sold with UT preinstalled, and MX4 with android on it are very difficult to unlock as you have to kind of crack it.

But last time i installed i used UBports installer. I had some driver issue that i sorted "try and die" lol.
