@UBportsNews Amazing news! Thanks for all the hard work!
Edit: I have a question regarding the automatic update from Xenial to Focal: As a user, is there anything important to consider before updating to Focal, which is different from the experience with within-Xenial OTA updates? --> Edit2: I now asked the question here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/9544/automatic-update-to-ota-3-focal-what-do-users-need-to-consider-before-updating (thanks @Moem for pointing this out)

@UBportsNews
So no RC for testing this time ? -
@Keneda RC was tested in the Dev group on this OTA owing to time constraints and a few tech issues. It should not be the same for future OTAs from my understanding.

Since this topic is a news topic, and also not about your question, please ask that (very valid) question as a new topic in a suitable forum section. Thanks!

in linked page (the OTA-3 blog) Xiaomi Mi A2 is not on the list ... and is no longer present on the page that lists the devices that will receive ota 3 at a later time.
But today ota 3 available :astonished_face: I am very happy but I don't understand... why it's not included in the list ?

Qt5.12.8
I think that's not correct. AFAIR focal is using 5.15.15. A short test on www.wieistmeineip.de shows also Chromium 87 which is related to the 5.15 branch.

Probably an oversight.

Just query qt packages on UT, and you will see the version.
the 5.15 is for QtWegengine -
@lduboeuf Yes, you're right. I've mixed QT and QTWebEngine, my fault.
-
@Br1 I will check on the device status.

Well, that's it, I've taken the plunge with my Volla. I'm on focal OTA-3. Everything reinstalled without problem. Everything seems ok except that from time to time the screen freezes, becomes unresponsive for some undetermined reason. Locking (power button, black screen) and unlocking (code) solves the problem. Is this known?
-
@domubpkm No, I've never had this issue on focal. I'm on OTA-3 since a few days.
-
@kristatos No shutter sound or vibration when taking a photo. Sound for screeshot works. Do you confirm ? It was a solved bug on xenial with android 9 devices.
-
@domubpkm Yes, I can confirm. But for me it's more a feature than a bug
I don't like all these stupid sounds/vibration for input-confirmation. -

It is a bug of a feature as it must work if we choose this mechanism.

This post is deleted! -
After recording with the camera there is no sound.
This is worse than the "vibration" or "click sound", which has effectively disappeared.
I was hoping that uninstalling the camera application and reinstalling it would solve the problem, but it's much more serious because the installation no longer works and there's no camera on UT!
It seems to me that certain applications should work without a problem on Focal at the ota-3 stage, but unfortunately this is not the case on my OnePlus 5T.
So for the time being, I'm using a Waydroid photo app and a Waydroid video app as alternatives.
