20.04 Pixel 3A

mw4jet

Flashed my Pixel 3a to 20.04 again. I inserted an AT&T prepaid sim in for grins and I can send and receive SMS but no MMS. It is showing it is in LTE. No calls work. Cannot switch to 2G as I read AT&T deactivated their 2G network. I was surprised.

As for general use, it seems to work pretty good but I have not used it a lot.

@mw4jet Just to let you know the pixel 3a now updates without the need to connect to a power source.

@lakotaubp and @mw4jet I have joined you with a P3aXL 20.04 install on a secondary device. A few observations:

Calls work in 2G mode (T-Mobile mvno) the same as in 16.04, but no MMS (MMS is working in 16.04).
Mobile data doesn't seem to work in 4G or 2G modes (this is likely why MMS doesn't work if no mobile data then no MMS?).
Disabling wifi doesn't seem to work (it re-connects / re-activates).
Bluetooth doesn't seem to work.
The open store is basically empty

So for any of the above bugs (mobile data / bluetooth / wifi re-connecting) should I report them or just hold onto them for now?

@rik Best keep here for now. The reporting is just being tidied up now. You could check the links in here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8277/focal-fossa-more-information

Have got the Pixel back on 20.04. In the end I reinstalled android as per the installer instructions and installed devel 16.04 with the wipe option then installed 20.04 devel.

Its smoother than 16.04
Flash light not working
Libertine is removed from settings

Still getting issues with installing updates with the installer. I have 20.04 running then new update arrives. Trying to install update just results in system stopping at Recovery. So boot to fastboot and run the installer. This is the fun part. The installer seems to not fetch all the files and only gets as far as the google or fastboot screen. No matter what I try nothing will install 16.04 or 20.04 until android is reinstalled then all works again.
When the install fails using the installer at the bottom of the screen it states the reason for being in fastboot as no viable slot.
Next time I will just run the installer and not test to see if the update installs as it should. Unless someone says it's working.

@lakotaubp Alfred mentioned he's fixed the update issue. No word yet on when it will land. But development is really speeding up on focal. The move unlocks lots of new possibilities for the OS

Lakotaubp

@arubislander Great news. Just what I have been waiting for. Maybe location on uNav next

arubislander

@lakotaubp Have you been able to perform a succesful update?

Lakotaubp

@arubislander Our WiFi is down till later today. Haven't been able to update anything for a few days. Really want to test latest updates. Will let you know when done

Lakotaubp

@arubislander No not working yet.

lduboeuf

@lakotaubp idk if it is a global Focal issue, but got to "forget this network" to be able to connect again on FP4

Lakotaubp

@lduboeuf Seems ok on OP5 reinstalling on 3a now so will let you know on that.
Really annoying having to go back to google to install UT updates again. Hope it's just mine. Still early days will be sorted soon no doubt.

Lakotaubp

@lduboeuf Still need to test WiFi being forgotten but testing GPS on uNav and have just tried a webtelegram app.

Fingerprint reader now works
