i connected the very same Hub, the same way to a Linux Mint laptop, no flickering, works perfectly.
The laptop runs this:
uname -a
Linux lenovo 6.14.0-36-generic #36~24.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Oct 15 15:45:17 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
i have just re-tested the whole setup, sadly it still flickering. If i connect the external screen directly to the phone then there is no flickering however i need the Hub because i need keyboard and mouse. So it is looks like the Anker causing the issue with the Ubuntu touch. But with other laptops the Anker works fine.
@projectmoon yep , looks like that was the story
@kugiigi i am on version 883. However I more or less solved it. I use the Anker 565 USB hub which is probably the best in the world as it has 11 in 1 features. On the other hand I had to figure out the best way for connecting to the external screen. The optimal solution is that I use separate USB-C power supply to the external screen and for the Anker Hub, this way the flickering seems to be gone or lot less frequent.
We can consider it solved, but others should test too if they have the same Anker Hub
Hi,
is there a fix on flickering Desktop mode on Ubuntu 24 latest image? I tested with USB hub and the USB screen with other devices too and it flickers only with my fairphone 4 with Ubuntu 24.
This is probably the best wireless keyboard and mouse combo according user reviews but sadly i can not connect via bluetooth.

The phone finds it when i search bluetooth devices but when i click on it to connect immediately shows as disconnected.
Just comparison the very same keyboard set perfectly connects to a Graphene OS phone. So it is clearly OS related bug on fairphone 5.
It would be great to look into it as many people would love to use this phone with external display and keyboard.
@Moem @pparent thanks for the answers, on linux Gajim, Dino are the popular ones, Dino support audio call too. On Android converstion is the best app.
xmpp is the protocol and it is pretty much same popular as matrix. There are pros and cons, both are great however currently the Ubuntu Touch 24.04 does not have any working client. I tested ConverseJS but it does not connect, looks like not using the usual way other clients. No other option available in the UBport app store.
This would be super important to have xmpp support because many people switch to custom roms due to privacy and they use either xmpp or matrix for communication.
Also wireguard VPN client would be great, because many people use opensource firewalls like OPNsense and this one is already phasing out the old openvpn and use wireguard from now on.
I am new to linux phones and I have just installed 24.04 on Fairphone 5 and I would like to know if the following apps are available:
Many thanks and keep up the good work!
