@Giiba I don't speak for myself. I realized long ago that progress would be very gradual. But some users are impatient because all they have is only a Pinephone for daily use.

I really think there was a huge ambiguity for many buyers to think that the Pinephone community edition could work right away as a smartphone for everyday use: and it's not for now at all!

@Flohack Can you say more now ? I don't think the subject came up in the last q and a.

VPN editor is an app that works well now when I use it. It was already suggested a long time ago to 'merge' this app into UT system. And if UT system could also include a VPN connection indicator and a KILL SWITCH it would be very nice. Because indeed, the ultimate goal is that all UT phones can configure a safe working VPN.

@Rebecca58 said in How to dictate text messages, please?:

it's a big shame! I have stable indeed. When is OTA-13 released?

NOT A SHAME AT ALL !! This is the normal procedure for updates: dev (once a day approx.), RC (once a week approx.), stable (it depends).
I don't know for the next stable release but you can try RC if you want (the rc channel is very stable anyway) and go back to stable if you're not happy with it.

@Keneda Yes and fortunately, because in France, there are a lot of places where we are not in "4G". For example, where I am now, I'm on "H" 95% of the time... even if i can use a "4G" UT phone..

@utkb Bad luck ! Ok, thank you for your explanation

@utkb You say : "I can't buy...... because of custom regulations of my country"

To understand: can you say which country you are from and/or what exactly are the problems?

@Flohack I'm extremely excited to believe you !!!

For those who want to use webber on the DEV channel at the moment (except Pinphone), ONLY version 0.4.0 works on most phones i think. The download link is the following:

@claudio The most compact supported model is the BQ AQUARIS E 4.5, the first model that supported UT and which is becoming really excellent now on the dev channel thanks to a huge amount of work by the developers (in view of the OTA-13) but which I don't know if it will still be updated in some form from 2021 onwards. Anyway, it's very hard to find, even in android (flashable UT) version. For an immediate fully functional use, you'll have to acquire a Nexus 5, a bit bigger.

It is true that a future-oriented UT smartphone under 5 inches (don't forget LEDs..) officially supported would, I think, meet with success because many people like compact smartphones.

@Rebecca58 The problem has been fixed but NOT on stable channel (OTA-12). You must wait OTA-13 or go on RC channel.

An internet use sold as google free reminds me of when I saw lollipops sold as 'fat free'....

At first glance, they're as sober as a BQ and LOOK pretty much the same! And moreover it seems to me to see leds, which for me goes hand in hand with UT. So I like it. So, if a solution can be found to this Android 8 blocking then so much the better!

Unfortunately, the Volla Phone doesn't have notification LEDs : a great lack for all those who like this mechanism like me and i think this mechanism is part of the soul of UT: do you envisage a workaround, for example by playing with the screen and its lighting?

In my opinion, the emphasis at the moment is on providing a strongest OTA-13. The developers of the foundation are working very hard on it with a few developers from the community, and I can see that by going on Github. I think the focus will shift to the Pinephone as soon as stable OTA-13 is released.

@scottbouch qt 5.14 update solved the problem for all UT smartphone on dev channel. But i advise you not to go now on devel channel but to wait the next RC update (other problems are being fixed now on dev channel) if you want to sign on Gitlab with your UT smartphone.

I didn't notice that first but :

Is it exact that there isn't notification led on the Volla phone ?

If yes, for those who love this mechanism on UT as me it's a real miss.

Even if currently there are a lot of things, even 'basic' things for a user (as for example copy/paste between two apps or take a screenshot...) that don't work on PinePhone, i had the good surprise to see that Protonvpn worked at the first attempt !

But we must be aware that basic things for a user are often very difficult things for a developer !
