      Hi!

      Long time user of Ubuntu Touch and UBPorts. Firstly, thanks so much for all of your efforts; it's incredible what you've been able to accomplish.

      Now to the questions - my existing pixel3a is sadly showing signs of dying and I'm looking into getting a newer device. There were rumours Marius was eyeing off a Fairphone 5 - is there any news on that front? I should read posts better - this probably skirts too close to a question on a device being ported, sorry!

      Also, sorry to sound like a broken record as I know this comes up frequently, but what's the latest on VoLTE, and dare I say it, 5G? :astonished_face:

      Thanks heaps!

          @Enrico13011978 The use of Android versions is required for the vendor BLOBs (which are usually proprietary. Later versions of Android are now having an anti-rollback feature to prevent downgrading too.

          @Kamikaze - VoLTE is ongoing and is implemented in a different way on each device. They are working on it and 5G

              Hello @Kamikaze

              We have some progress on VoLTE and I hope I would be able to share more details soon.

                Can we add One Plus N100 as a supported device?

                I am running OTA3.1 and would like to be able to upgrade it to OTA 4 so I can test with that version.

                There are improvements to Bluetooth in OTA 4.0. Can a method be provided to bring those changes easily to test on OTA3.1 (before One Plus N100 becomes a supported device officially?)

                  Thanks for another Q&A. I would be interested in knowing how the relationship is between the UbPorts team and producers/vendors of supported hardware, such as Volla, FairPhone, Pine, ... How does cooperation work with them?

                  Hardware-related things like VoLTE or Miracast screen mirroring seems to be things where cooperation is particularly important.

                      Hello, Yesterday evening I got an upgrade to ota-4.1. Strangely enough, I haven't been able to read anything about it yet.
                      What was changed in the upgrade?
                      Where can I find information?
                      I am in the stable channel and previously on 20.04 ota-4.

                      Greetings

                            1. Are there any plans to open a more transparent donation option such as Open Collective ?

                            2. Are there any plans down the road to sell devices preinstalled with Ubuntu Touch ?

                            3. Are there plans to make more of the devices compatible with Focal ?

                                @messayisto & @all

                                Again, is there any information about the current upgrade to OTA-4.1 ?
                                Does this only affect my volla x23?
                                Thanks & best regards

                                  @Charly Honestly I have no clue at all about this. Im not affected by such an upgrade and still on OTA 4.0. I was also confused by the random "answer" on the q&a last night and I m sorry, but I cannot help you in this at all... sorry.

                                    @messayisto Didn't see the Q&A but could this be something to do with XFone and their own update process? The only change on our side I can think of is this https://forums.ubports.com/topic/9834/ubports-focal-branching-will-happen-on-14-february.

                                      Thank you to everyone who has tried to help. Unfortunately, nothing seems to be known about an upgrade to 4.1. I'll attach a screenshot, maybe someone will notice something.

                                        @Charly My Volla X23 just updated from 4.0 to 4.1 too. I'malso on the stable channel and always have been.

                                        The release details before installing just referred to it as 'Version 4' but after installing my details are now:

                                          So it seems to be a volla or even volla x23 upgrade.
                                          Would be interesting to know what was fixed.
                                          I haven't noticed any changes and I've even had the "crazy volla ghost activities" since then. Let's see what else becomes known.
