Why is there no dedicated subcategory for the Volla X23?

Charly

Hallo,
I don't understand why the volla x23 has not yet been given its own subcategory.
Please explain what the criteria for this are.
Many greetings
Charly

@Charly, this isn't really a question for the Q&A, as the hosts are not necessarily the ones that decide this.

I will fork your query and this answer to its own thread, and maybe a moderator with sufficient privileges to make subcategories will notice it.

Charly

@arubislander
Thanks!

Charly

Does no one feel responsible for this issue?
Where are the employees of volla or Hallo Welt Systeme UG?

Alter

@Charly : Volla/Hallo Welt do not operate this forum, this is done by volunteers from the Ubuntu Touch community. It may be that your question just escaped the attention of one of the forum wizards.

@Lakotaubp any answer to give ?

treebeard

@Keneda I also think its time this was added. volla have done a lot to raise the profile of ut and this doesnt sound a big job to do?

Lakotaubp

@Keneda It was mentioned in the last newsletter that they would be available shortly for the X23, OP N10, N100 and a Lenovo tablet iirc

@Lakotaubp

Let's take a look. Thanks for the info.

Charly

I have been asking for a subcategory for the x23 since March 1st and I am still waiting.
I don't understand why creating such a subcategory is so difficult?

@Charly please keep in mind that all the work here is done by volunteers. if you dont want to wait any longer, maybe there is a chance by doing it yourself?

I'm sure difficulcy is not the problem here. As a moderator, I do not have the correct rights; it wouldn't surprise me if only one person has, and that person may very well be quite busy.

@Charly The request has been made. Not just for the Volla x23 but a few other devices as well. As already pointed out nobody here is paid and this has to be done in someones free time.

Hi @Charly
Technically, you never asked for the subcategory.

You just asked to understand why there is none.
It was answered.

Now if I was trying to be a smart ass I would hypothesized that you were trying to use passive aggression to get something you wish.
There are no fairies on this forum and asking properly and nicely is something important to this community.

If I was able to create the subcategory (and I'm not) I would have taken my time before even considering doing it and would have done it for others.
Sorry, I'm kidding right now, as I understand you probably don't meant to be rude :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: .

You just have to understand that we are all from different countries and culture here so the way of asking/writing things is important to avoid diplomatic incidents

The moderators took note of your remark. Now lets just wait for us volunteers to make it happen.

I hope you understand.
As a modo myself, I try to give these reminders from time to time.
It's no big deal, but I hope it helps keeping this forum a happy place.

Peace

Charly

@AppLee

Hello everyone, I didn't want to step on anyone's toes with my contribution. But after several nice inquiries, I have put some weight into the question this time. I am grateful to all volunteers and hope that the x23 will soon get its subcategory. I hope to be able to help with my experience with the x23 and my feedback.
Peace

arubislander

@Charly You don't need to wait until the X23 gets its own subcategory to start contributing tips and tricks for this device.
You can start doing so now already. Just be sure to tag or label them clearly as relating to the X23. Then, if and when that desired subcategory is created, the relevant posts will be moved to that subcategory.

Charly

@arubislander
Thank you, I have collected a lot of feedback and would like to work on the quality check of the software.
I have already reported a few bugs, but as far as I know the bugs have not been fixed yet. I personally find that rather demotivating. Perhaps this was partly responsible for the fact that my penultimate post was somewhat impatient.
If there is no subcategory, I don't know how I can reach the right person. I have the impression that nobody feels responsible.

arubislander

@Charly The subcategories are neither made, nor necessarily monitored by the maintainer of the port.
This being a Volla Phone the first place to report bugs would be to Volla themselves on their forums, or otherwise in the issue tracker of the device's port.

@Charly A good place to report UT issues for Volla phones is: https://github.com/HelloVolla/ubuntu-touch-beta-tests/issues

Charly

@sven
Thanks, I will test it.
