Hello,

I have been UT for several months on Nexus 5 and I am completely satisfied.
This smartphone is a little obsolete and I now want to put UT on my Xperia Z3 Compac.

Can you tell me if this smartphone is now compatible.
If so, what are the features that will be functional.
Is there a specific procedure or special handling (the posts consulted are from a few months ago)?

I confess I'm not used to this kind of manipulation, on the Nexus 5 it did not happen the first but I managed to get by with the forum.

Thank you in advance for your help.
DDA

I just tested how to connect to your smartphone (under W10), only "home" directories :

1. Go to settings
2. In the "About" menu, choose "Developer Mode"
3. "Lock security" menu, choose a security mode
4. Return to "Developer Mode" and enable "Developer Mode"

I had to remove the USB and put it back in order to consult all "home" directories of the smartphone.
Directories: "Documents", "Downloads", "Music", "Pictures" and "Videos"

It would be nice if there is simply an access authorization confirmation request like Android or Windows Phone.

Attention, the selected security mode will be active for all the smartphone, so if you chose a password, it will be asked for each action on the smartphone, which is quite unpleasant for everyday use and no security has been activated normally.

EDIT: It's also active to connect into "sudo su" in your smartphone terminal

@doniks said in UBports Community Update 20 | January 6, 2018:

UBports device statistics stats.ubports.com have some, lets say, imprecisions. Would the push server be able to provide a more realistic estimate? Are all UBports devices connected to this server in some way?

I just looked at the statistics, which is not bad at all with continued growth.

If you want more correct statistics about the recurrences, it would be good to send a unique number of each device that could be calculated at the installation (the IMEI number would do the trick, but is more indiscreet).
This unique number could be depending on the date, the IP and IMEI for example.
The only IP is not correct, especially in Belgium where some operators renew it every 36 hours or during a reboot of the router.
In addition the updates can be done by several channels: ISP of the house, the 4G or from another location.

The time I write this message, there were 14 more devices ... loool

Is there a similar application and above all compatible with XMeye to view an online camera surveillance system?
My research did not give anything.
I have noticed that this application is very popular with camera systems installed in private homes.
If that does not exist, perhaps this should be added to the long list of possible developments?

@flohack : Sorry not to have read the whole topic, but my English is almost nil, so I have to work with Google translate.
Given the number and especially the size of some answers, I did not have the courage to pass all the answers to the translation.
Going to version 16.04 is certainly a good thing to get as close as possible to the LTS version of Ubuntu.
I seem to have read during my research for an alternative OS to GAFAM, that a collaboration with another project more hardware-oriented would be possible or in discussion ... this would allow you obviously more to focus on the OS.

I think that first you have to make Ubuntu Touch accessible to newer smartphones!
I struggled to find a Nexus 5 at a reasonable price to see if this OS would suit me.
I was very lucky because the one I found broke down a few days before at the former owner (SIM problem) ... sold for spare parts at 30 € shipping included: I do not have the SIM problem.
I know friends who would be good at Ubuntu Touch, but the lack of compatible smartphones at reasonable prices is a drag ... often they have a smartphone in the cabinet, but unusable to test.
Side smartphone company, the switch may be more complex with some tools developed only on conventional OS.
It's now been 2 weeks that I am under Ubuntu Touch for the private, I am fully satisfied with this OS, while being aware that problems can occur after an update.

@Mily : There is no more problem with this button, it was part of the problems fixed in the OTA-3 for the Nexus 5
Automnomie side : it is almost 2 days with a rather weak use and with the battery of origin of the Nexus 5.
The fall of the battery on the night: less than 20%.

Edit : Maybe it's because you use a Legacy Devices, for me it's a Core Devices?

@twinkybot Yes normally, but with the OTA-2 the 2 were clearly visible, which was not bad in itself.
@Mily: for the Nexus 5, I earn between 30 and 50% of autonimie and fluidity also seems a little increased, the problem of the ON / OFF button is well resolved.

Successful update.
A small problem: access to mobile datas no longer works -> only the option "2G / 3G (faster)" is still available.
The problem is that it announces the 4G for my connection and that I do not know how to select the remaining option.

Edit:
With the procedure of the topic "https://forums.ubports.com/topic/817/nexus5-4g-and-mobile-data-broken-after-ot3-update/4" it's OK for 4G now.
I can not get back to the "Stable" channel, the hourglass is spinning constantly.

Edit 2:
After 2 reboot, everything is back in order.

Just a quick note: the "4G" icon is no longer visible if WiFi is activated, as soon as I disconnect it, it appears instead of WiFi ... it's a bit boring not to see it any more the weather.
