The camera itself in this phone is dead.

Well, at least now you know! I marked the topic as SOLVED for you. Sorry about your phone!

Thanks!

I had the trusty Nexus 5. I agree the brightness level can seem "too" bright when using it in pitch black environment.
But I doubt the hardware is able to do less. For tinkering with the brightness on the PinePhone I can tell that Ubuntu Touch gives what it can get from the drivers.

So, sorry but I doubt you can have less light expect using a dark theme. Even more so the Nexus 5 has a LCD display, not an OLED one, so backlight is on for the full screen.

@keneda

And you're smarter in not using them. I've had my accts for years and really should move on myself.

@MrT10001 I did this last night and it worked

@applee said in choosing a program to open files? ala, right click "open with"??:

And regarding your additional question:
There are a couple of text editors in the open store if my memory serves me well.

Yes there is Tedit for simple usage, or Seabass 2 for lot more than just editing text files.

@kugiigi said in Accessing UT system files/folders via PC USB port?:

SSH is the best way for transferring files from/to UT and it's so much more. So if anyone's willing to set it up, I highly suggest it 😄

That's the route I went with it. Works.

@777funk I know how to make webapps but I'm not a developer, I don't know how to create code, webapps are very useful, the webapps I make you can trust,

@777funk said in Linphone can't connect:

It's looking like Linphone may be the only supported softphone. For some reason it seems to not connect both to my Linphone account and my Voip.ms account. I know it's not a setting issue because yesterday it was connected (green light). Also, Zoiper on android shows connected to the account I'm trying to use.

I believe there's an issue with the App.

Is there anything I can do to bring it back to life?

Must have been some sort of intermittent or random bug because it resolved itself.

AND I was able to make a call.

For those unfamiliar, with Linphone, its required to put @<insertvoip.servername.here> after the full number.

Now if I could solve the phone app not ringing

@rocket2nfinity
Yes I did figure that out here in my dedicated Lin thread. Not necessary in Zoiper but it must be there in Linphone. I got it to work after reading more about the Lin app.

The more I use Lin though, the more problems I find:
-It only allows 3 contacts as far as I can see. I would hate to have to type out number and voip server every time I make a call.
-Incoming does not ring
-VoIP configuration in setup cannot be saved or modified. You have to start from scratch if you want to change anything. Not a huge deal but a little annoying.
-none of the usual additional settings are there (port etc)

The actual Lin softphone has a lot more features that for some reason this leaves out. But... it does call out. That is better than nothing. I think a very good softphone is important to UT since standard voice calls are not possible over LTE in the USA. VoIP seems to be the only option if one actually wants to call with the phone.

No and VoLTE is not new tech it's been known for almost 5 years that 2G and 3G were being phased out in the US. Cambodia went totally to VoLTE in 2015. and many others have as well, just not the EU.

Here's an old thread about this:
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3844/swipe-style-keyboard/19

It seems some relevant technology might have been developed for SailfishOS, but nothing became of that discussion.

I remember seeing someone demonstrating a swype keyboard for Phosh at one point, but I cannot find it anywhere.

PureMaps is great. Thanks for mentioning it. I also installed OSM Scout Server and the online maps for the regions I regularly travel. Just that functionality alone is a Google Maps killer for me! Very nice to have offline maps in detail.

Glad to hear it. The offline functionality was essential for me, while being invisible to Google was a bonus.

Who doesn't like that idea. Lol. I do wonder though since UT uses android in the background and some aspects of the Morph browser look like Chrome and of course in my case the phone itself is a Google Nexus.

@777funk said in ATT (H2O) No Service with Nexus 5. Anything I can do?:

thats a fairly major drawback

It is! It is, however, being worked on.
On the other hand, Nexus 5 will never support VoLTE, even when UT will. It doesn't have the hardware capability.

@777funk No, I just meant don't expect good and smooth experience if you heavily browse the internet. I personally have many tabs always open in the browser and even 8GB of RAM on an S10 is starting to struggle with Twitter always open 😅 Xperia X is fine if you don't use it much for multitasking and heavy tasks 👍

@moem @777funk
However it is supported on volla devices by hallowelt.

Also, depending on the device you have, and what you need from android, you can use waydroid on UT.
