      Hello everyone!

      The expected release date for Ubuntu Touch OTA-25 is Friday, March 24th 2023. Note that this is the last release of an OTA for xenial!

      This forum post is a companion to the OTA-25 Call For Testing

      Please post any general observations you have while testing the current image in the RC channel, as compared to OTA-24, in this thread. The current release candidate (RC) is 2023-W11.

      If you have any comments on any of the specific issues in the OTA-25 tracker, please post them in the issue thread so they are easier to track. OTA-25 tracker: https://ubports.atlassian.net/browse/YUMI-6

      Please note that only critical and security fixes will be able to enter OTA-25 as this point, normal bug fixes and new features will need to wait for our next release. Please do not discuss normal bug fixes and new features here.

          https://github.com/ubports/ofono/pull/28 seems to be broken in 2023-W11 on my Volla (RC 59), so my single APN Internet + MMS setup no longer works. I had to install two different APNs to make the MMS work again.
          For those using this PR-28 with your smartphone, not only with the Volla, i advise to check if your MMS is working.

          Edit : broken in 2023-W12/2 too

              I just updated from RC on BQ Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu edition and after rebooting, I just got a black screen. After 20 minutes or so, I decided to restart (long press for power off, then power on again), and now it seems to boot correctly.

              Not sure what went wrong. I don't immediately see big issues now, so no big deal I guess, but I thought I should at least mention it.

                I`m facing the same problem after uploading to RC 2023-W11 on Meizu MX4. Today I updated to RC 2023-W12. The problem while booting still exists. I also got a black screen as described above. After rebooting again the phone starts normally. Thanks for helping.

                  Maybe a mediatek specific issue as both those legacy devices use this SOC brand.

                        Sorry for being late to the party, but as others also had booting issues, I felt encouraged to share:

                        Since the last updates on RC channel (currently 2023-W12/3) my Sony Xperia X Compact (F5321) more often than not won't boot up properly.
                        Especially when cold booting it often, but not always, shows like this:
                        Sony boot loader warning → Sony boot logo → Ubuntu Touch boot logo (< 1 s) → black screen
                        A forced reboot might then work or will also hang at different points (Sony boot logo, black screen, or automatic reboot).

                        I've had boot up issues in the past with this device, but it definitely has gotten worse for me since the new updates.

                          Same here: since the RC updates on Mar 16, then Mar 23 and Mar 26 my bq aquaris m10 hd Ubuntu Edition won't boot properly. It starts booting then seems to stop after the initial splash screen, sometimes after the next splash. Then I have to shut it down and restart. Usually the second time around it will boot properly.
                          I'm considering switching to stable to see if that fixes the problem. I'll post here if it worked.

                          BQ M10 HD Ubuntu Edition (daily use since 2015), Redmi A9 waiting to be de-androided, Ubuntu LTS on Thinkpads 'cause I like 'em stable...

                            Same kind of issue for MX4.
                            After automatic reboot for updating on recovery screen, phote rebooted and stayed on white splash "Meizu Powered by Ubuntu" screen.
                            Forced power off and then powered back on, OS seems working normal.

                              @Ællen Switching to stable solved the problem for a day and then it came back. Still/again need 2 attempts to boot the bq cooler. 😞

                                Same on MX4, cold boot results in stuck on the white bootlogo, forcing shut down and booting a second time works. No problem when rebooting from OS.

                                Edit : N5 also seems to be affected in a different way.
                                Sometime after a cold boot i get : bootlogo ("Nexus 5 powered by Ubuntu Touch....") then dark screen for 10 seconds, then bootlogo again, then dark screen, then Ubuntu Touch boots.
                                Other times i get bootlogo, dark screen, UT boots.

                                    Confirmed for my BQ 4.5 too : got stuck on the BQ screen then forced restart and it was ok. Two new normal starts to confirm, although the OS seems a little slow to install, but I can't remember if it's normal because I took my (beautiful) BQ 4.5 out of the closet 🙂

                                      @Keneda I confirm some random bootloops on Nexus 5 during boot (1/2 to 1/3), for about 2 loops, and than Ubuntu Touch finally starts...

                                          I resurrected my Nexus 5 to test this point. After updating to OTA-25 Stable, which went without a hitch, I performed three restarts and all of them worked just fine.

                                            Yes restart works fine.
                                            It's cold boot that has problem for me and @stanwood

                                            Edit : ok i assumed restart works fine because i had not noticed problem here, but just tested and i got one bootloop and then a normal boot.
