Ubuntu Touch on my M10 tablet is good for me. I use it for a minimum of 2 hours each day. My wife also uses it in preference to our laptop. Morph browser works fine. File Manager is really cool once you discover how to slide files right or left to reveal the hidden tools. System Settings and OpenStore are most reliable. You can roll your own webapps with Clickable or Webapp Creator. You can move files back and forth between your UT device and your Ubuntu laptop with WifiTransfer. Document Viewer and Sturm Reader handle pdfs smoothly.

I could go on. To close, I prefer Ubuntu Touch to Android. I wiped Android from my Nexus 4, installed UT and it's great.

In support of Android, many folk cite the availability of a plethora of apps. How many do you really need? Aren't many of them simply "shovelware"?

Oh, by the way the Community is knowledgeable and helpful.

Many thanks to the UBports Team. OTA-11 runs like silk on my BQ Aquaris M10 tablet! The new text editing feature is an awesome improvement.

I'm delighted to report that with help from @advocatux and @bhdouglass, I succeeded in getting my first webapp, NFB Canada, working and uploaded to OpenStore. The process was as follows:

• run webapp-creator and complete template

• run UT Tweak Tool to install .click package on my M10 HD tablet

• test webapp

• join Telegram OpenStore Group

• submit webapp

All this was accomplished on my tablet. The difficulties I experienced were as follows:

• had trouble joining Telegram OpenStore Group. This turned out to be an issue with the UT Telegram app. When I switched to the Telegram webapp everything worked as expected.

• I did try using the UT Tweak Tool to submit my .click package, but was unsuccessfull. This may have been because I hadn't yet joined Telegram OpenStore Group at that stage.

• my first submission to OpenStore was declined as requiring manual inspection. Brian Douglass suggested that I needed to use the default profile since video_files wasn't needed. That fixed the problem.

• each time I needed to edit my webapp-creator template, I had to fill out the whole pro-forma again. However I got better at doing that as I moved further up the learning curve.

In case you are wondering why I chose NFB Canada as my target, let me explain. My first tablet was a Blackberry Playbook. This came with an NFB Canada app installed. I found that it was a wonderful resource. So I thought perhaps some of you UT enthusiasts might also enjoy it.

So, I checked for updates and it reported software up to date. On investigation I discovered it was on release candidate channel, so I switched to devel channel and it downloaded 532mb of updates.
I installed the updates and after a couple of trys, I managed to coax it to boot.
Deep joy, it booted into staged mode! So pleased with the result. I am typing this on my Lenovo tab.
Thank you so much for working your magic.

Hello, I'm David aged 76, retired and living in Dorset in the UK. I graduated in physics in 1963 and initially worked as a R&D engineer on ferrite core and plated wire computer memory systems. I've been using linux systems for many years, especially Ubuntu and ordered a BQ Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition as soon as they went on sale. I subsequently switched to UBports and love it. I use my tablet for about two hours every day and it does most things I want. I really appreciate the UBports community and have gained the confidence to be able to post some questions to the support forum. I'm not a software developer, but I'm keen to try my hand at producing a simple webapp. So far I had some great help from the support forum. I would like to contribute to testing, but as I use 15.04 so much, I'm reluctant to install 16.04 and risk compromising my system. What I really need to do is to aquire another tablet. Oh BTW I speak and read french.

I am happy to confirm that today I got a fix with uNav!
This was outdoors and took about 15mins.
I carefully followed the advice given in your previous posts, so many thanks for all your contributions.

I have just installed this new webapp and it's great. I normally access my OpenOffice-365 email account via a Morph Browser bookmark and everything works as it should. Yesterday I tried the OpenOffice-365 Webapp and logged in to my account. It was really snappy and I like it. I tried it on my M10 tablet and my Nexus 4 and it performed well on both devices.
The only snag was a freeze which occurred when I opened the Junk Email folder and selected a message for deletion. This issue was repeatable on both my devices.

Success!!!
I finally solved my problem with the vcf sharing approach. Once again many thanks to all you Ubuntu Touchers for your help and patience. Now to bed!

@pulsar33 Brilliant! Filezilla on my laptop also connects to wifitransfer! What more could I wish for? Many thanks to everyone who contributed to solving my problem.

Do we have any estimate of users by country? I have no idea if I am the only UK user or if there are another 100 scattered about. Do we have the raw data that could be analysed?

@mrt10001
And is battery detection working now, or do you still have the same problem?

@mrt10001
How about switching to the Release Candidate channel?
That would be interesting.

@keneda @Luksus
After re-visiting the links you sent me, I am concerned some solutions required operations no longer possible on my bricked device. So, the best option is the QPST tool. This is a Windows-based solution and I have only Linux PCs. However, my 16yr-old grandson has a Windows PC, so I showed him the instructions and he is very comfortable with them. He kindly offerred to work the magic for me whilst he is waiting for his GCSE results! Result!!! I will keep you posted.

@keneda
Well, whilst browsing the stuff you linked relating to QPST (Qualcomm Product Support Tool), I came across a reference to EDL (Emergency Download Mode). The bricked device has to be in EDL mode in order to use the QPST tool.
Now here's the interesting bit: If your device has been bricked accidentally and just shows a black screen and vibrates, then it's probably already in EDL mode. Wow! This exactly describes the current state of my bricked Lenovo TB-X605F.
Sounds like the QPST tool is the way to go!

@keneda
Wow, a mine of fascinating information. I will explore. This suggests it is possible to de-brick the Lenovo TB-X605F. All you need is to know stuff and have the right tools.
Many thanks

@mrt10001
Tried charging for a long period, but still unable to boot to Lenovo splash screen. Only faint haptic buzz and blinking red led.

@keneda
So I did a web search for low-level flash tool for Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 and it led to XDA forums. Very encouraging!
But the YouTube video demonstrating the use of the tool was no longer available.
Another forum post said that the documentation for the tool was in chinese.
I also found a long rambling post by someone in the USA which was way over my head and concluded that this approach is a non-starter for me.

@MrT10001
Thanks for the information. Mine is the Lenovo TB-X605F.
Until the fatal update, it was working superbly with UT. I absolutely loved it! A great successor to my BQ Aquaris M10 running UT.
I so hope I can coax it back to life with the help of all the community members on this forum who have chipped in with advice and suggestions.

@mrt10001
Thanks for the suggestion. Tablet is charging now.
Don't know anything about TWRP. What can you tell me about it?

@keneda
Processor is Qualcomm Snapdragon 450
Don't know anything about low-level flashing tools, but sounds interesting.
Thanks for the tip.
