I, for one would like to thank the entire team for building, maintaining and developing this software. Without your time talent and treasure, we wouldn't have such nice hard/software.
So a big thank you to all and keep up the good work!

RE: BlueTooth working devices with UT
I'd like to add to the list that i've tested a VollaPhone with UT, on a Peugot 5008, Skoda Octavia and a Fiat Ducato.
All media systems recognized and paired with the phone. Everything worked just fine. -
VollaPhone /BT question
Hello everybody!
This is my first post here, so if it's not in the right place, please move it to where it should be.
I have just received my new vollaphone with UT(ordered it in january this year) and it seems that my bose soundsport bt headset won't connect. The phone sees the headset, but won't connect.
Did anybody else encounter this too? Is there a possible fix?This is my first phone with UT, so there's a lot i need to learn.

RE: BlueTooth working devices with UT
Tested on Vollaphone:
Jabra Elite 45e in ear BT headset.
Calls work, listening to music/podcasts work, volume up/down works, pause doesn't. (that or i haven't found that yet).
Small update: it seems that, if you listen to music and there's a call coming in, after you hung up, the headset still "thinks" you're calling. I.e. the mic is working, the music keeps playing in the background, but doesn't come back to the front. For now, it seems that rebooting the phone does the trick. That or, stopping the (default) music player and start over again.

Camera stopped working.
Today, the camera app stopped working.
The app starts very briefly, only to disappear again.
Deleted and reinstalled, but that didn't help.
Clearing the cache or rebooting the phone didn't help eitherHow can i fix this please?
Thank you for the help.

RE: Camera stopped working.
@dobey No problem. Now that i know what's going on, i'll wait for the new version to come along.
Thank you for all the hard work!

RE: Camera stopped working.
@dobey same here. I've just updated the app and everything's back to normal.
Thank you very much for the work! -
RE: VollaPhone /BT question
Small update: Bt works (for me that is) on Peugot, Skoda and Fiat so far. Pairing and connecting worked flawless. I'm thinking about buying other BT earpods. Maybe it's just Bose that's not playing along.
If i find one that works, i'll post it here. Maybe we can get a list going with known devices that work? -
RE: PodBird stopped playing podcasts?
Removing and reinstalling the app did it. It's working again.

Mobile vs wifi
I've noticed that my vollaphone, for most of the time, the wifi networks forgets it already has connected to.
Also, the transition from mobile to wifi, or vice versa, makes an app like, for instance podbird, to stop working.
Quite annoying and maybe something that will get fixed down the road?

RE: Interested in Volla ubuntu
@C0n57an71n mine is the siemens gigaset, i believe.
@Lundrin17 the latest update hasn't fixed the issues for this device. When it came to updating the process failed? I got to the point where the device returned to the twrp screen, informing me that the update failed. Upon rebooting, it showed that it was up to date. (confusing, because, did it update or not?)
@Alter Yes, i still use my volla because i believe in the concept. And by using it as a daily driver, i hope to contribute whatever i can to the further development and spreading of these and other devices / software.
I'm EU based, and afaik on stable channels only. I haven't played around with that yet.
Wifi and BT work, but not always. Like i said, it's not reliable.
On the mobile side it's rock solid. No questions about that. I can go for weeks without wifi, no problem. Everything's fine on that side.
How do i file a bug report and where? -
RE: Interested in Volla ubuntu
@alter Hello and sorry for the late reply.
After using this device for some time now i can say this:
with flaws i mean the following: the wifi is a joke. Let's face it. Half of the time the device can't or won't connect to trusted wifi networks. A mobile connection works fine,, but that's beside the point.
Other point of interrest is this: it needs rebooting from time to time to keep working. sometimes it just stops working, or reboots on it's own.
Bluetooth can be dodgy. Either it will recognize a device and pair flawless, or it won't. Sometimes the connection just drops without warning or message. (Rather annoying).
So these are things that developers need to work on and you should take into consideration when buying a volla phone with ub touch.
I haven't tried the volla os yet. -
RE: Interested in Volla ubuntu
Hello!
I'm using a volla phone for some time now.
It has it's flaws, i'll give you that, but it's a fun device to use. If you want to use something else than android or Ios, this is a good alternative.There aren't that many apps available, but that's a chicken and egg problem.
I'd say, go ahead and see what's what. I'm using the Ubuntu touch version.

Where does Podbird store it's podcasts?
After using podbird for quite a while now, i've noticed that i have around 6Gb worth of podcasts in the app.
I'd like to remove most of them, but i can't find the location where podbird stores them.Does anybody know where they are stored in the filesystem? (Besides removing them in the app themselves)
Thanks for the help!

RE: Volla Fan Group on Telegram
Are there any other platforms available too, that you know of. I'm not all that of a fan of Telegram. But i'd like to communicate with other volla fans though.
