@ancientsounds A community member is also working on a properly integrated fix for UT possibly based on this work.

RE: Double-tap-to-wake feature lost in new rc12 version system setting menu.
@uwahl The feature was removed by the porter because it caused a nasty bug that made the touch screen unresponsive, and thus the device totally unusable for a certain batch of Pixel 3a and 3a XL's. So it was down to either having it work for some devices, but getting an increasing amount of newly flashed devices not work, or removing the feature for now.
The reason is a bit technical, but there needs to be some trigger coming from userland to reset the touchscreen sensor to be able to have this feature work reliably across the whole range of Pixel 3a devices and their hardware revision.

RE: Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5
@karibooooo Sure, but once rc gets promoted to stable, the feature will be gone there as well.

RE: Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5
@vince-vs New features go into the future release that will be based on Ubuntu 24.04. On a case by case basis it will be evaluated if these features should be back-ported to 20.04.

RE: Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5
@karibooooo said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-5:
Missing option in SystemSettings\Gestures: double tap to wake the device up.
(Last rc update in Focal - Pixel 3a)This is not an OTA-4 regression. The feature was removed by the device porter, because having it enabled caused some Pixel 3a / XL devices to have a non-functioning touch screen.

RE: I'd like to convert from android to Linux
@Pastor-David-R Welcome to the forums. UT is a great platform indeed. But due to the nature of mobile hardware, it is not installable on every device. Lack of hardware standardization means that post need to made to each device specifically.
You asked for links. The devices page is a good place to start. Here you find what devices are supported, and how well.

RE: Screen wakes up itself and stays awaken
@cheniek Then I am out of ideas.
If you are on Telegram, you could join the Xperia X group on UT. There are is a higher concentration of users of that device over there.

RE: Screen wakes up itself and stays awaken
@cheniek On the other hand, the issue must be quite annoying. Does your device have a fingerprint reader? Or is double tap to wake (dtfw) enabled?
-
RE: Screen wakes up itself and stays awaken
@cheniek Then let's wait and see if there are any others.

RE: Screen wakes up itself and stays awaken
@arubislander you say the the screen remains on only when on the lock-scteen? So if the device is unlocked then the screen does turn off eventually?

RE: Screen wakes up itself and stays awaken
@cheniek different phone with different version of the OS. Not really much to go on to extrapolate.
I am on a Pixel 3a on Focal for instance, and have never experienced what you describe.
-
RE: Screen wakes up itself and stays awaken
@cheniek Then it would be interesting to hear if there are any other Experia X users experiencing the same. We'll have to wait and see.

RE: Screen wakes up itself and stays awaken
@cheniek Not exactly, but it does answer my question. You flashed the stable update channel.
You could try switching to the RC channel in Settings -> Update -> Cog wheel in the upper right corner. A new RC image was released just today.

RE: Screen wakes up itself and stays awaken
What update channel are you on currently?

RE: Screen wakes up itself and stays awaken
@cheniek Did you have the correct version of Android installed before flashing UT? (This is necessary to have the correct drivers available to UT after flashing)

RE: Lenovo Tab11
@noliv as @MrT10001 said. The how-to you referenced is talking about installing Ubuntu on the tablet. We have no knowledge of any Ubuntu Touch port in progress for that device

RE: Ubuntu Touch Q&A 145 Call for questions
@wally said in Ubuntu Touch Q&A 145 Call for questions:
Has anyone heard from a company called SageTea, who "makes" something called the Xfone? Do they contribute to Ubports in any way, or just sell phones that they load with Ubuntu Touch?
We are aware of the company, yes. As far as I know there is no formal relationship between the UBports Foundation and this company. (One of) The founder(s) has been active in the Telegram groups in the past.
