Thanks for the answer, advocatux.

I was hoping that USB device recognition would have been carried over more or less unchanged from desktop Ubuntu, but I'll prepare for a cup of no beans then

I'll try and give it a whirl in the near future, since I'm keen to try UT in any case. If I get to that point, I'll report back here.

Hello friends o' freedom,

I'm considering installing Ubuntu on my Fairphone 2. One reason is that I want to use a USB microphone (Samson GoMic) with the FP2. No luck with that in Android.

Before I wipe my phone, could anyone confirm whether Ubuntu Touch may support the mic like a 'regular' distro?

Also, does anyone have experience with how long the phone's battery would then last? The mic does not have its own power source, so must draw from whatever it is attached to. Perhaps it just uses too much power in practice, and that is the reason it's not available in Android?

(In fact, what is Ubuntu Touch's battery usage in general, no devices attached, compared to Android?)

thanks in advance!
