One option I've tested is to use Crackle to install the version of python you want
After that, you can use pip and venv.

@uxes said in Working VoLTE reports, share your experience:

after some months of using, i know that after start using volte, 4G internet sometimes stop working, maybe after call/sms only thing that helps is to disable/enable data in indicators (no reboot required)
Eric from poco reported that adding new APN may help

For those interested in activating VoLTE on the Poco X3, here are the steps I followed:

• After enabling VoLTE, I noticed errors in the logs related to context 1 of ofono. To address this, I replaced this context with a new APN "Internet & MMS" using the commands available in /usr/share/ofono/scripts/.
• I also removed an unused connection using ncli connection.

While I can't guarantee that these modifications are the solution, I haven't encountered any issues since.

It's important to note that after exiting airplane mode, the poco often struggles to reconnect to VoLTE without a reboot.

It is possible to obtain a list of all devices in devel where VoLTE is enabled by conducting a search on Gitlab :

Maybe you will be interested in Daniel Pratt's tests with T-Mobile in the USA on a Poco X3 NFC ?

The 12.5.9 global MIUI is available at http://xmfirmwareupdater.com/miui/vayu/stable/V12.5.9.0.RJUMIXM/

The fastboot error is probably because of system is a logical partition and you need to use fastbootD.

fastboot reboot fastboot
fastboot flash system ubuntu.img

@bunt7 said in No Network Connectivity – microphone is not working:

I am sure to installed it from Android 10.

The MIUI image version to use is specified in the installation guide under "2. Check the correct version of MIUI".

I use the microphone very often, so it would makes things much easier to solve it.

There is a know bug with microphone : The microphone does not work after a call, except for calls
Unsure it's the same bug you've met, but it's worth checking out.

Hello,

Will it be possible to use the Alfred's browser engine instead of QtWebengine to create webapps for UT ?

Thanks

@Sentinel said in No GPS access from inside Waydroid:

maybe the MIUI version I flashed might have impacted Waydroid's reliability or other things?

Yes — this can significantly affect UT.

The MIUI image version to use is specified in the installation guide under "2. Check the correct version of MIUI", and it looks like you used the correct one.

I can't explain the unusual bugs you've reported.
Did you remount the system as read-write and make any changes?
Did you use apt (update/upgrade/install)?

I'm fine with starting a new discussion thread.

@sentinel hello,
Let's try to figure out why you have these unusual problems in order to fix them.
First can I ask you which version of MIUI did you flash before installing Ubuntu Touch?

The version of waydroid on my device is 20-20250809-VANILLA-waydroid_arm64

@idonthatevests hi, I installed Soty 2025.12.07 version and it works perfectly with UT Translator (french to english).

Thank you for your work.

@greg hi,
If you haven't already found them by yourself, git repositories are on gitlab: https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android10/xiaomi-poco-x3

if you have any questions, join pocox3 telegram group: https://t.me/ut_pocox3

@Sentinel Hi
I'm surprised by some of the bugs you report because I don't have the same ones on my poco x3 nfc.
For example, I was able to download Android images without a problem with Waydroid Helper, waydroid has access to GPS or my fingerprint reader works perfectly...

Anyway, I'm interested in fixing poco x3 bugs, for example I'm currently testing a kernel patch that should improve the stability of waydroid.
But this being off-topic, can you join us on the Telegram Group https://t.me/ut_pocox3 (Bridged to #ut_surya:matrix.org on Matrix)?

@mariogrip IMO its a brilliant idea. Thank you.

Here are some examples of bugs that are problematic:

Core System Stuff

• device crashes
  • Daily reboots without command
  • Poco NFC X3 it reboots and disconnects the sim about every 12 hours

Basic Phone Features

• The phone application freezes when I receive a call while I'm already online (VoLTE enabled). A reboot is then necessary.
• switching to airplane mode often leads to a disconnection of the VolTE. A reboot is then necessary.
• My camera app crashes every day or so

Daily Use

• camera image quality
  • All pictures (and also videos) taken with the device have colors off and are overall poor quality
  • Camera Not Actually Fully Supported
• GPS too slow

Polish

• Rounded corners and camera notch
  • The notch covers some screen space
  • Bring indicators under camera notch
  • Lomiri must avoid rounded corners and camera notch

Nice to Have

• Docker container cannot start normally

Iirc, an android 12 phone must have a recovery partition unless it is a slot A/B device.

for example on my device

• to check recovery partition

  $ fastboot getvar all |& grep -i recovery
  (bootloader) partition-type:recovery:raw
  (bootloader) partition-size:recovery: 0x8000000
  

• to flash recovery partition

  fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
  

• to check slots, in fastbootD mode

  $ fastboot getvar slot-count
  slot-count: 0
