  • RE: Today scope now without weather information

    The weather information comes form the Weather Channel scope - which has stopped working. But it's not just the Weather Channel but also Amazon, 7Digital, ebay, Open Library, Reddit and Wikipedia scopes. Maybe more. I have assumed that this was due to agreements with Canonical expiring or being wound up. To be honest it is only weather that I miss, and that's not a big problem.
    However, I do appreciate the scopes and would be sorry to see them go bit by bit.

  • RE: [Discussion] File Manager improvements
    1. FM is invaluable for organising files on my M10 tablet.

    2. Moving, renaming files. Unzipping archives

    3.organising and finding files

    1. The need to unlock full access to view or move files on the SD card.

  • RE: Flash player

    I've been having the same problem on my M10, also on N5. HTML5 works fine on other websites. I'm hoping OTA 2 will sort it out. I guessed BBC had updated it's software. A number of sites tell me to update my browser.

  • RE: adb shell not working Meizu Pro 5

    I had the same problem on the M10HD. Developer mode on, but the same error: device unauthorized. No confirmation dialog on device. Using UBports 15.04 stable

  • RE: GPS on Aquaris 4.5

    There's an updated version of uNav in the Openstore. Upgrade to that and it should work - I hope. It works for me.

  • RE: What is your main points for a perfect personal phone operative system?

    Happy with all you say. Key for me is a phone that does everything I need - as a phone. As a desktop computer it needs to do everything that I need from a desktop. Open source is great - as long as it just works (generally I've found that to be the case) but whatever else you do needs to be focused on creating a reliable and easy to use and maintain system.

    It was ages before I realised what it was. It's not particularly obvious, is it?

  • RE: Welcome to the UBports community! Introduce yourself here!

    Hi All,

    I'm Peter. I've used Ubuntu for over ten years and Ubuntu Touch on my M10 HD ever since it was launched and love both. I'm not a dev but am keen to see Touch thrive and grow. Hoping the same for Unity. As an end-user I'm keen for your project to be successful. If I can do anything I will. At least I'll be cheering you all on.

  • RE: Buy a smartphone with ubuntu

    The only smartphones that you will find with Ubuntu already installed are second hand BQ E4.5 or E5 Ubuntu Edition or the Meizu MX4 or Pro 5. You're probably better buying a Nexus 5, One Plus One or Fairphone 2 and install UBports.

  • RE: Pure maps navigation port

    @rinigus Thank you. OpenCage appears, on first use, to work perfectly.

    BA11 2JY, BS7 8RW, PL2 1SQ all failed in Photon but worked with OpenCage.

  • RE: Pure maps navigation port

    Love the approach. It works really well so far. Searching using UK postcodes appears temperamentall at best. It's easy enough to work around but would be good not to have to work around.

  • RE: Nexus 7 deb - two problems with OTA9

    Although I can't provide any sort of solution I have the same two issues on my recently acquired Nexus 7 deb. In addition rotation doesn't work (although I know this is an issue on Android too); also it reboots itself whenever I turn it off. It's not immediate but takes up to about 20 minutes.

    That said, it's a great little tablet with UT on it.

  • RE: Can Morph browser save login credentials?

    It certainly saves logins. As far as I can tell logins on webapps are a bit patchy.

  • RE: OTA5 scopes?

    @mynameisrichard said in OTA5 scopes?:

    Ah that's a shame. The today scope in particular is the single most useful thing I've seen on any phone. I understand the reasoning though.

    I totally agree. I will miss the Today scope, although it has been getting less useful than it was for a while now.

    Is the upgrade not from 16.04 RC (OTA 4) to OTA 5? Or have I misunderstood?
