Ubuntu Touch is the best smartphone software I've ever experienced. Also the first and only one.

RE: Forum migration
I have to say it too: it is really hard to read now with this current orange-grey-purple color scheme. Also, the colors don't fit to each other. In german we'd say: those colors "bite each other". Honestly I'm really annoyed, it kind of hurts my eyes, please go back to the old style. Thanks a lot

RE: Easy fix possible? Issue of not readable time on Volla Phone display with rounded corners?
@gt a quick workaround might be to install the suru dark mode indicator. So you would have another (non-essential) icon in the indicator bar between clock and edge of display.

RE: Tshirt request
It would be great if those merch shirts and hoodies were organic and fair (in the future?). In case ubports is interested, I have good contacts to a small firm that does eco-prints on fair-eco stuff (GOTS, FWF) in Germany. I would gladly help. Just saying

RE: Waydroid will not start
@mschmids hi, so far I did not get it to start on the Volla Phone (by using only waydroid helper app). I've tried 3 times install/de-install... Should I try it via terminal instead?

Stuck in headphone mode
Hi,
Suddenly my phone (nexus 5) is stuck in headphone-mode, that means i can only hear sound (and get heard) when my headphones are plugged in. Any idea whether or not this is software related?
Thanks -
RE: 'crazy Volla'
Well,kl.k รค n j
My phone is bare ly ubskmkl รคl ukhs usable anymore because of this scary ghost touches. I just wanted to sign in to an account and gave up after 15 minutes.As you can see by the text above, sometimes I can write stuff, sometimes it just types nonsense by itself or doesn't response at all. Sometimes it is messing with my configurations (e.g. by turning stuff in and off through the head bar; wifi, sound, etc). More and more nothing works at all.
I don't have the capacity at the moment to set up a new ubuntu touch phone. And I've never used or want to use any Apple or Android smortphone. I hate this at the moment. And the fact that nobody seems to get how the ghost touches appear makes it so weird; often enough I thought someone else is messing with my phone remotely.
PS: didn't expect to get this far with typing after the start was very very not promising. I need to turn off the screen a lot in between to be able to type

RE: Nexus 5 battery case: advice?
@dad_and_alive
sounds like you have already made the decision to buy one of these products. So just give it a try (and tell us about it)
For me, sustainability is the main criterium, so I would rather buy an extension that I can use with other devices, too. That means, even if I buy a new phone one day, I want the battery extension/powerbank (or even the phone case) to be compatible by its form, design or connection. But I am also lazy to buy or sell stuff; of course there are also ways to reuse, refurbish outdated products.

RE: 'crazy Volla'
I'm kind of reliefed to see that others describe these "ghost touches", too.
So far, I just live with it. But with a growing number of freezes, unwanted crashs of apps and system restarts I'm aware that I need to do something about it.
I've tried removing the screen protection once, but that didn't solve the problem of ghost touches for me.

Extra functions for fingerprint sensor?
Hi,
I wonder if we can assign additional functions to the fingerprint sensor? Well, I can't, because I'm not really a programmer. But here are my thoughts: last week, for the first time ever, I have used a fingerprint sensor (FS) to unlock my phone. Works ok. Long time I was against digitizing my fingerprint, but my phone is now to big for my thumb to reach all the numbers for the pin when holding it in one hand.
Also, and that's really annoying sometimes, I cannot open the menu (swiping from the left) when holding my current phone (Volla) with just the right hand (that was possible with Nexus5 and BQ 4.5) And that's when I got the idea to open the menu by touching the FS. That would be so comfortable: 1x touch FS= start screen, 2nd touch = unlock, touch FS when unlocked = open menu.What do you think? Opinions anyone?

RE: Sapot browser
Something else: I tested browser security via https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/. Thanks to uAdblock I have a strong protection against tracking. Problem: with Morph Browser i have a "nearly unique fingerprint", with Sapot "a unique fingerprint". Why is there a difference (nearly unique vs unique)? What can be done to be not that unique? Is there anything that can be done to adress the key problem that UT users are probably just more easily identifyable because there are so few of us? Does anyone of you use VPN with your phone?

German Warntag: did you get a sms warning?
In Germany, today was a special nation-wide testing of several warning systems, called "Warntag". One new element are warnings via SMS ("Cell Broadcast"). I've read that this is device dependent, e.g. IPhone 6 or higher. Anyway, did any Ubuntu touch users in Germany receive a SMS at 11 am?
I, using a Volla Phone, didn't get anything. Also the "Warnapp Deutschand" didn't give me any warning notification, but the "Entwarnung" (all-clear signal) just came in via push.
I want to figure out how much of this is due to our OS, our devices or just messed-up by our federal administrations. -
RE: Messages App does not work
@lduboeuf Wow thanks, that was easy - I just deleted the folder and rebooted
So know I can read new received SMS again, but I do not have the old ones. Anyway, that's not essential.I copied the folders from a Nexus 5. Are there other known issues when copying data from halium 9 to 10/11? I still haven't transferred the dekko2-files...
