    • Super loud hang up tone

      Hello good people ! I wanted to put that into support a while ago but I thought it would eventually go away or something. Here's the thing: when someone ends a call on me, or their phone is unreachable, the dual beep that ensues never fails to pierce my eardrum, and most likely disturb wild fauna in a mile radius ^^ it's unbelievably loud, and I can't find no option to change that. The same happens for a dual call, which prevents me from hearing the actual conversation. Any ideas ? FP2 stable

    • RE: Swipe style keyboard

      @rocket2nfinity oh man i'd love this to happen but it most probably won't. Even getting a swype keyboard to run on an open source version of android (lineageos and so on) is close to impossible since Swype has been discontinued and using gboard implies copying proprietary libraries from gapps which generally results in an unstable mess if anything... So to think it could be "ported" seems unrealistic. There might be a need for an open source new swype keyboard but I don't see this happening in the near future.

    • broken apps

      It seems from another thread that a messaging app available on the open store actually does nothing, fully broken. I had the same experience recently with Htop clickable - 0 ko app, yet installs, yet does nothing. Maybe here we could start listing these ?

    • RE: Is UT efficient for a daily drive ?

      Yeah obviously the FP2 has a lot of problems of its own, that are definitely not specific to UT, and be not mistaken, I had a great experience with this OS and am not reverting to Android; it's just that pooky asked about the FP2, and here is its current state of porting ^^

    • RE: Browser - Video streaming

      @dobey I was wondering if hardware acceleration is something that can be done, or is considered ? Or is it something that's unlikely to happen ?

    • RE: Tracking Nexus 5 | Privacy

      @mrlen the only way to be 100% safe from tracking is to get rid of your sim.

    • The banking situation

      I reckon banking abilities is even more important than videochat. Despite all its flaws, UT has been my daily driver for a year now (guess i'm a recluse ^^) and I got over the flashlight not working and a couple of apps I miss. But banking... It's a pain i have to shift to my work phone to be able to do anything money-related and I ended up calling my bank to tell them they need to develop sth for UT. I think they're still laughing about it ^^ That's a real issue though. I'm starting to wonder if I'm gonna leave the bank I've been in for 15 yrs just because I need to find a bank that doesn't rely on 2FA... Yet. I guess with the chinese and russian move to a Sailfish fork, Banks are gonna have to make Linux apps - but that won't mean much for us, sadly. I don't see this happening in the foreseeable future, and as long as people going for UT have to rely on another phone for such a critical matter, well, any progress otherwise is pretty much doomed isn't it ? I know the issue is also very much there with AOSP, but ubports is now a foundation, which I guess would make it easier for banks to build secure, dedicated apps, if they know who to talk to, and can relate to an actual store... Or maybe I have to accept the fact that half the people on this forum still have a bank account that allows transactions through web browsers and sms codes and I need to find one !

    • RE: Camera app not working on Fairphone 2

      Hey everyone ! My camera on FP2 works with native app and always has. That said, a few indications: first off, FP2 is flawed in many regards, and hardware keeps on failing. You must be knowing that if you had the thing for a while. Presently, it's my SD port which is failing. I lost the habit of blaming UT for hardware-related bugs since most of the times I reverted to Android, the issue was still there. So you might want to check... Hopefully most of these issues can be fixed by cleaning the contacts / applying cardboard on relevant parts... The joys and despairs of having a modular phone. Then I have to say I had the same message popping up sometimes and I solved it with a bit of voodoo: have the menu with "allowed apps" opened, run the app (and obviously be patient) close it, reopen it, reboot the phone, reboot unity and so on - eventually you'll get the option to allow the app. At least that's what happened for me. Finally something might have gone wrong in your installation and I see no reason why a fresh install wouldn't fix it.

    • Is "vocal sms" supposed to be working ?

      I just noticed this nice microphone icon next to the text field in the SMS app. So I tried to record something and send it, to no avail. I press the button, speak, let go of the button, and then... Nothing. What am I missing ? Cheers.

    • RE: Can't find way to move Recorder app audio files to my PC. [Solved]

      @Opolork that's exactly it. First enable developer mode in ut tweak tool. Then plug in the cable and run "adb shell" in a terminal. You'll then be running a shell in the device, from where you can freely browse (might require sudo for some folders) that's it. To copy / paste files from device to computer, use adb push or pull - depends.

    • RE: Can't play video on FP2 [solved]

      @jezek hey there ! I own a fp2 and it definitely played videos of any kind when it ran ubports (16.04 ota11 stable. It must be a hardware problem or, indeed, an installation issue. Try using wipe option. It could also be a new bug. Presently I can't tell since because I can't use the flashlight of the new camera module (known issue), it runs android (until I find myself an old 6 MP module ^^). I'll let you know
