I congratulate everybody associated with the development and support of UB Touch. I hope this message gets to all involved.

I never dared to have a smart phone until recently because of privacy concerns. My Nokia flip phone must be a dozen years old by now and is showing its age, so I was intrigued to discover UB Ports in April. The idea of a Linux phone seemed too good to be true, but having bought a Nexus 5 last week I am very pleased with it so far. I'll be making a donation to UBP as soon as I have bought and tested a SIM card.

This has been a timely reminder to me that I have not donated anything since last year. That has now been rectified.

I noticed the same thing thing after the update. Click on the Notebook tab, then on the Notes tab, and your notes will re-appear. You have to do this every time you start the application.

I daresay my opinion will be unpopular, but I have to say that I really don't understand the preoccupation on this forum with icon design. As long as icons are distinctive, legible and functional, nothing else matters to me. I certainly don't care whether they conform to a theme or any other design precept.

I am glad to see the Data Monitor is working again. Thanks to Matteo Bellei.

Fair enough, but why list Devices under Porting rather than Support?

@potet
Thank you. I realise all that but I could not get it to work. Eventually I found the problem to be that I was swiping up from the bottom edge of the visible display, when what I needed to do was swipe up from the bottom of the glass which is over half an inch further down.
All's well that ends well.

BigB.

I wonder if you aren't making this too complex. Wouldn't a single contact phone number be all that most people need?

@ubportsnews I see there have been some recent updates to the camera application. Does that mean the app has a new maintainer who will be tackling the outstanding problems?

@s710 Thanks for the application. I was able to store three stations from search. (I did not try more than that.) Oddly, delete was swipe to the left rather than right.

@keneda More likely I did not try hard enough when I first got the phone so I gave up as it was unimportant. The update prompted me to look again, and though not intuitive I have created a few albums for the 18 photos I keep on it.

Thanks to whoever improved the Gallery application for the latest update. I can now create, label, and fill albums.

@ljrichards1066 Are you aware that acquiring a first GPS signal is known to be a lengthy process in UT? You need to test it outside in an open space for 30 minutes. A window cill is not usually good enough.

Google recognises that you are using one its services (gmail in this case) on a device it does not recognise, so it asks if you have permitted that action.

@lakotaubp Thanks. I was not sure if it was safe to delete them, hence my question. The four older RC versions 106-109 deleted by swiping. The most recent version 110 does not give me that option. It is waiting at the top of the list to be installed, so I shall have to make a conscious effort not to press the install button.

At least I have gained 1800 MB by getting rid of the others.

@Flohack
After six weeks of repeated failures to make stable channel stick, I have finally succeeded with the arrival of OTA 18.
In the interim several RC updates of about 450 MB have downloaded but not installed. Should I attempt to delete them, and if so how?
I have a screenshot of the update page but can not see how to attch it.

@ilija_zmaj That good to know. Next time it should be faster, though it will never be reliable indoors.

@ilija_zmaj How long did you test it for, and where did you test it? It may take as much as 30 minutes to get the first fix, and it needs to be done outside. By a window is often not good enough.

It would be worth installing Sensor Status to check that a GPS signal is being received.

@stanwood Please forgive the public message, I can not see how to send a private one. Do you use your UT phone for navigation off road?
