lock screen now shows the estimated time to charge your phone:

This is now working on OP6T

Anyway,

I have an Xperia X F5121 and here are some things I noticed:

• The dark theme is a welcome as my 20.04 OTA-3 installation didn't have it.

• Personal hotspot still doesn't work, just like in OTA-2, where the Xperia X isn't on the list. I am able to configure the personal hotspot but still can't connect to it.

• LTE often disconnects randomly after plugging in a USB cable in-car to charge. I remedy this by resetting APN settings.

• The phone recognises my Sony head unit (and vice versa) much more quickly now than ever.

I turned off the wifi and managed to receive MMS but did not manage to send it, flashlight don't work in the camera and the toggle too, before I was on 16.04 stable...

Right... while we appreciate all reports, the purpose of this forum thread is to find a regression compared to the previous OTA. For other issues, please report it to our bug tracker inbox at https://gitlab.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch.

Sorry for you inconvenience.

Does this happen only in this RC, or have it ever happened before with the previous OTAs as well?

It's a known issue with earlier versions.

Hello.
I am using the Sony Xperia X (F5121)
UT 20.04rc (2024-W03)
Error that I have noticed when using the device:

• For incoming and outgoing calls, when mobile data is activated, the call still interrupts the mobile data connection. It cannot be re-established in the current session. A restart is required.
  Everything is OK with a Wi-Fi connection.

Right. If you're able, please collect the log, after the symptom occur but before reboot, using command sudo journalctl --boot >system.log. After that, please pull the file system.log from the device. Please beware that the log contains sensitive information, please don't post it in this thread but rather send it to me via forum's chat.

That said, given multiple failure modes this can have, it's unlikely that we can figure out another one on time for OTA-4. So, unfortunately, we'll have to live with this issue for another OTA. Sorry for your inconvenience.

• Like Sander, I also don't see any charging information on my lock screen, even though it is activated in the Settings app.

It's a known issue that, on some devices, the device's kernel doesn't report information required for calculating the charging time. In that case, the charging time might not appear or it can always appear as "Fully charged". In such case, the porters will have to fix the issue on that device.

• Everything is OK when I start the camera app.
  The selfie camera works perfectly.
  But with the front camera, a wide strip appears in the centre of the picture from halfway through the zoom.
  It is not visible in the photos, but it is recorded in the video recordings.

Does this happen only in this RC, or have it ever happened before with the previous OTAs as well? I don't see interesting device-specific changes in this cycle for Xperia X, so I don't know what could cause a problem.

What channel were you on before? 20.04 Stable? Also, have you tried turning off Wi-Fi before sending or receiving MMS?

@lduboeuf Small point of detail: it is not possible to import a personalized ringtone for a contact if the name of a personal file is written in several separate words. With just one word, the mechanism works well. Thanks for the feature.

ah ok, could you file a bug in messaging-app with the filename that cause issue please

@vince-vs
I am talking about the photo flash

For video recorder: on my OPT5, sometimes the recording has no sound.
Interface translations not complete, home screen and settings ...

If it's not possible to solve this in ota-4, it would be a plus for the next ota ... ( if we show a UT to someone, it will be more convincing )
Thanks

Things that don't work :

• send/receive mms
• video recorder
• flash light
• sometimes swipe from right don't work

May I know whether these issues happen on the earlier OTAs as well, or are something which break when switching to the RC channel?

Things that work :

• ringtone settings are still effective
• the permission request works for a new app
• Browse your everyday websites with Morph Browser

Things that don't work :

• send/receive mms
• video recorder
• flash light
• sometimes swipe from right don't work

The issue mentioned is when switching from another language back to English, where some strings remain translated to the non-English language.

• I encountered a weird bug: when changing the system language from Dutch to English, the system is partly in Dutch and partly in English. After a second reboot, this issue still persists. When changing back to Dutch, the entire system (apart from some untranslated strings) is in Dutch again. I've also tried other languages and there is still a mix-up with Dutch.

I tried to reproduce this by switching to French. Some of the text remains in English even though a lot of it has changed to French. E.g.
"No text messages sent today" on the splash screen circle,
In system settings, "Flight Mode", "Rotation Lock", "Background & Appearance", and "Reset" are in English (the rest in French). Some of the app names remain in English although others are in French. (Perhaps this is down to the individual app's coding)

lock screen now shows the estimated time to charge your phone:

No, it doesn't. Toggled the checkbox in setting, but that makes no difference

Theme switching now built-in

"Enable dark mode" in system settings works without having to reboot.

For developers: connecting your phone to new a computer now asks for confirmation

Yes, that works

bug fixes:
messaging-app · start in landscape: compose bar not shown
https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/messaging-app/-/issues/340

This is fine on OP6T (but perhaps it was not a bug before?)

@lduboeuf How is it set? I can't find it in System Settings

Talking about the DT2W ? If it is not visible under "Gesture", then your device does not support DT2W
