No questions, just thank you.

Thank you for everything you do, all of you, thank you for every small and big contribution.

Hi! I've been daily driving Ubuntu Touch since around March.

1. Bluetooth:
   It has been working really well for months now. My car is too old, so I haven't tried any bluetooth stuff there, but it works well for connecting compatible smart watches, music listening on my stereo and through headphones. Calls work very well through my headphones.

2. GPS:
   It works, but with the usual UT limitations because there is no A-GPS. Getting first fix, or getting a fix after not having used gps for a while takes some time, up to an hour, and you need to be outside or close to a window to get the fix.

3. IDLE:
   Some power saving functions have been implemented, but app suspension seems incomplete at the moment, at least on 20.04 devel. I get around 1,5 days of battery time on moderate use, but have to charge each evening if I use the phone a lot.

4. NFC
   I haven't tried it yet, but it seems there are few apps for UT that actually use NFC. I would not expect using NFC to connect to a radio to work.

Other notable stuff:
Calls: Works fine, including VoLTE.
SMS/MMS: I have sometimes not received every MMS sent to me.
Waydroid: Works well.
Connection to PC: Works well both for Linux and Windows for me.
Wifi/network: Sometimes disconnects from wifi, and I have to manually reconnect. If I lose Wifi connection, I have to manually turn on mobile data.

It is also worth to note that the FP5 has no stable release channel yet. Development is very active on this phone right now, and new and improved things turn up often. I am very happy with my FP5, but some workarounds are needed now and then.

Edit: I just want to add that this is my experience with the phone, with my particular installation. Refer to the device page to see a more general list.

Thank you guys for making Cinny work on UT, and for sharing these bridge tutorials! This has solved so much for me!

@moem All though the app doesn't run 100% on 2.x at the moment, I use it to check messages whenever my Signal bridge is a bit under the weather. It always starts after a couple of tries. (No OSK, but very useful to check if there are any important messages waiting.)

I am so grateful for all the effort you put into this, @pparent , thank you!

I'm nominating Podcat and RockWork! These two apps contribute hugely to my enjoyment of UT.

Which means of course that I nominate the devs Joan CiberSheep for their wonderful work on bringing the fun back to podcasts in UT, and Muhammad for his tireless and creative ways of bringing Pebble compatibility to UT. And for all of his bluetooth magic!

I'm a happy user of the files indicator! PodCat and PodPhoenix uses them to track ongoing and finished downloads, and it is very useful to see that the downloads are finished before I leave wifi in the morning. So to me this is a very useful feature, and definately not a bug.

That being said, I would also love some kind of icon/easier way for managing the function of a connected USB.

What can newbies do to help, other than donating? Enthusiastic and somewhat technical, but low in programming skills.

I've had so many fun hours due to PodCat already! Thank you so much for doing this!

You could report something working on that device's gitlab issuetracker, on the issue that was previously not working. Or you could mention it in the device telegram channel, if it seems relevant for other users and the device maintainers to know.

This is an awesome initiative! I really love the idea, and how you see the potential in every community member to help with this project.

The one thing that gets me again and again is the keyboard crashing while I'm in an ongoing chat/SMS-exchange. That one really gets my pulse going.

@danfro In reality I always get it to work for maximum half a minute at a time before it closes, and without a working keyboard, but long enough to check messages.

I had issues with the technics.de bridge most of yesterday, maybe this lag affected your new login attempt too? I would try again today, things seem stable again.

@autostatic I also missed the fine print while installing Signal UT the first time. I solved this by removing the app and then reinstalling and pinning the icon while I was asked for permission during installation.

@gpatel-fr Hm, thanks for the tip! I'll try it out on my day off

@gpatel-fr Glad to hear it has not affected 1.x daily yet. As I understand it 2.0 or 2.1 is not coming anytime soon, no.

@pparent Very cool to see that you are working on notifications!

I'll see if I can make a good description for the general tracker later today, if nobody has done it yet. It would be so sad to loose all of these great apps on a future stable release. I'm wondering if it has affected 1.x daily yet, or if it is a pure 2.x issue.

The OSK seems to have disappeared in Signal UT for (some) 2.x users. I know this UT version is not supported yet, but I wanted to mention it just in case. I added an issue to the tracker.

I think VoLTE on the FP4 is quite recent. Have you confirmed that it is actually working for others in 24.04 1.1?
