20.04 Volla Phone
-
@lakotaubp : Great! Thanks for your reply!
-
@alter No problem. We need as many people as possible now who can to test and try 20.04 and iron out the issues.

@kristatos I didn't update to 20.04 yet. Thank you for your tests. What's about hotspot ? Very very useful for me : no update if it doesn't work
I've updated the first post with the information about the hotspot-feature.

@kristatos :
I'm using my Volla Phone as daily driver.
As such, also ringtone has to work.
Do you, by the way, also use Teleports and Axolotl messaging apps, and do they work on 20.04 already?Hi, normally the Volla is my daily driver too, but I wanted to test how far the development on 20.04 already is (and my holidays are near
) . For now I use my E4.5 as my daily again (which I like much more because of the better size) and the Volla for testing.
I don't use Teleports or Axolotl, but as Lakotaubp already mentioned, even teleports should work already. -
Hotspot can be activated, but the device which wants to use the hotspot doesn't get an IP-address.
Ok. Hotspot feature doesn't work currently. Thanks.
You can test RNDIS (USB tethering) too using UTTT.
-
So far on Volla 22 I have no GPS, no hotspot and no location unfortunately.
Teleports, Pure Maps and Sapot don't start.
As this phone is my daily driver I will have to go back Xenial

@grumpyoldbloke
You should not test system betas on your daily, you take risks doing this. -

Brand new RC 1 focal is not RC 5X xenial.. In the last option 'beta', it is not a problem to use it as a daily driver.
-
@domubpkm RNDIS through UTTT works on Volla ?? I thought it was a dead button on every device
-
@grumpyoldbloke Suprised TELEports does not work, it does on my Focal OP5s and Pixel 3a. GPS took an hour for the first fix though. uNav should work. Weather app does not yet and no calendar sync
-
@lakotaubp I also had an issue with Teleports, on 20.04 RC (on Pixel 3a not Volla). I did the install with the installer without the wipe option.
To get a working Teleports I had to update with the openstore to the focal version which worked, but every time I turned off the device the old and not functional version was back, don't really understand why.
In the end I had to manually delete teleports (openstore couldn't delete it) and reinstall from fresh, now I have no problem.I had a similar issue with youtube web which was stuck on a blank page even though I was on the working version for focal. I also had to manually delete the app to reinstall and get a working version.
Otherwise pretty impressed with 20.04, big thanks to everyone involved, what an achievement !
-
@noelflantier Yes just thought of that. My OP5 and Pixel 3a are clean installs of 20.04. Just tried FP4 from update channels and getting same issues. Just about to install TELEports for Focal now.
-
@emphrath No, RNDIS worked for me on BQ E5 HD and nexus 5 (xenial both).
That said, you misread or misunderstood me: I said to test under 20.04 for the Volla, even if indeed it does not work with the Volla xenial.Edit : That said, I too forgot the fact that UTTT also had to be updated to focal for test this !!

-
@lakotaubp needs testing, but i'm afraid some of the more advanced features might need rewrite. but suspending apps and many of the settings options for the launcher or indicators as well as theme selection should work
-
@noelflantier I guess I will try uninstalling and reinstalling the things that currently aren't working once the hotspot is functioning again as it's the only thing I can't really live without.
I have to agree 100% with your last line though
-
@noelflantier they do have the same version number in the store, perhaps that is a bug that it does not differentiate the two on upgrade
-
With the todays update R368 the only things that are missing for me are "dekko" and "documentviewer". With this two apps I think I could already use the Volla running focal as my daily again. Some helpful stuff like flashlight is missing, but that's no showstopper.
-
@kristatos There are a few devs working on Dekko it would come to Focal....
-
@rudi-timmer Thanks, I've already seen that work is done on both of them to make them ready for focal. I think focal is getting closer and closer

Trying out the devel-channel, the important stuff works except hotspot
