I flashed an old Xperia X Compact with a fresh OTA 16. The original battery (old, I know) has to be charged in the evening after a day of idling. For a 2700 mAh battery, that's disappointing. Is it worth buying a new battery and what runtime can I expect? Does anyone have any experience?

@unrealb2 I took a similar way for testing purposes via TWRP and flashed LOS 16 (Droid 9) onto the X Compact. What can I say, the same device with the same battery only consumes 1.2-1.5% per hour and thus like my Nexus 5. UT seems to have a problem with the Xperia? Factor 10 per hour in consumption, that is useless. I will try OTA 17 again. If that also has this high consumption, it will stay at LOS 16.

but it crashes on push. Any advice on how you got it?

No I'm sorry. I had no problems.

@messayisto Hmm, that doesn't sound good. For me it is 10-15% per hour when it is idle. Nevertheless, thanks for the information. I have now discovered a second problem. The device is SIM lock free and only accepts one of 3 new SIM cards. The other two are not detected?!. That is hard.

Does it video record? Anything you like or dislike about it?

What should I say, it's a phone! Video works very well with the front and rear cameras. I like this phone because it's small and OTA 16 runs on it with no problems. I haven't tested all functions yet.

But I already have one negative point: the battery is difficult to replace.

Hmm, I am asking because my Xperia XA2 with Sailfish does not ping the world after a fresh installation and initial setup without installed apps. It's just quiet and doesn't connect to anyone while idle or in flight mode. Compared to the XA2, the N5 is surprisingly talkative.

OK, it's what it is. I just wanted to know. Thanks for the hints.

User in another forum was asked why Ubuntu Touch connects to Canonical and UBPorts every few minutes. The network traffic was measured with tcpdump. This behavior should be able to be observed with a fresh system without additionally installed apps and occurs when the system is idle. Is there an explanation for this? I'm interested in that too.

Initially some ntpserver belonging to Canonical are queried and

0.push.ubports.com.https.

Thereafter, further calls are made periodically every few minutes:

• cactuar.canonical.com.http
• davybones.canonical.com.http
• 0.push.ubports.com.5001

I would expect UT do not open any external connections when idle. It would save the battery and the data plan. What is it good for??

@povoq thanks

@povoq Great, this has the potential to fill the gap. Can you explain Omemo in more detail? How is it activated? I use the site https://mov.im and haven't found any hint of encryption there.

Why should UT not be for me? The N5 with UT is in daily use. Dino and Gajim are not "apps" (kiddy word) written for a mobile system, they are full desktop applications.

uTouch is not for running full desktop applications, appart in libertine.
Did you try libertine to run those?

Yes, I did. Dino as my favorite is not in the repos of xenial 16.04. It was added later.

If you want ubports devs to port new XMPP messenger or update existing one, you might be disapointed.

I am not sure the OP was actually expecting the core devs to fix the XMPP messenger situation in Ubuntu Touch, but merely expressing their frustration at the current state of affairs. ]

Correct.
