One option I've tested is to use Crackle to install the version of python you want
After that, you can use pip and venv.

@uxes said in Working VoLTE reports, share your experience:

after some months of using, i know that after start using volte, 4G internet sometimes stop working, maybe after call/sms only thing that helps is to disable/enable data in indicators (no reboot required)
Eric from poco reported that adding new APN may help

For those interested in activating VoLTE on the Poco X3, here are the steps I followed:

• After enabling VoLTE, I noticed errors in the logs related to context 1 of ofono. To address this, I replaced this context with a new APN "Internet & MMS" using the commands available in /usr/share/ofono/scripts/.
• I also removed an unused connection using ncli connection.

While I can't guarantee that these modifications are the solution, I haven't encountered any issues since.

It's important to note that after exiting airplane mode, the poco often struggles to reconnect to VoLTE without a reboot.

It is possible to obtain a list of all devices in devel where VoLTE is enabled by conducting a search on Gitlab :

Maybe you will be interested in Daniel Pratt's tests with T-Mobile in the USA on a Poco X3 NFC ?

Hello,

Will it be possible to use the Alfred's browser engine instead of QtWebengine to create webapps for UT ?

Thanks

@atarilinux
The UT deviceinfo file for the new port of sargo/bonito can be found here : https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android12/google-pixel-3a/google-sargo/-/blob/main/deviceinfo?ref_type=heads

deviceinfo_kernel_cmdline is empty and should probably be completed.

The documentation is available at https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/build_and_boot/standalone_kernel_build.html#filling-in-your-deviceinfo

There is also a sample file : https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/halium-generic-adaptation-build-tools/-/blob/main/deviceinfo.sample?ref_type=heads

Xiaomi POCO X3 NFC (surya)

• Calls: OK
• SMS: OK
• Cellular data: OK
• Address book app : OK (can remove pictures)
• Web browser (Morph): OK
• Wi-Fi settings: OK (WPA3 !)
• MMS
  • OK in 3G &4G
  • cannot send or receive MMS in 2G when I make call (but it's not new)

@atarilinux
it seem this this file should be updated too :

I tested version 2025-W22 on my Xiaomi POCO X3 NFC (surya), and here are my observations:

• The notification LED works normally
• Emojis display correctly.
• Waydroid functions without issues. So far, I haven't noticed any regressions.

Regarding VoLTE:

• With VoLTE disabled:
  Basic functionalities (calls, SMS, MMS, and cellular data) work perfectly.

• With VoLTE enabled:
  Basic functionalities (calls, SMS, MMS, and cellular data) also work.
  However, when the phone exits airplane mode, it often struggles to reconnect to VoLTE.

Other users have reported issues related to VoLTE that I couldn't reproduce, but I mention them here in case they might be useful:

• Inability to send SMS when VoLTE is enabled (https://forums.ubports.com/post/85788).
• Inability to download messages with Teleports when VoLTE is enabled (https://t.me/ut_pocox3/18228).
• Difficulty hanging up after a call when VoLTE is enabled (https://t.me/ut_pocox3/18506).This happened to me once and seems to occur randomly.

@lduboeuf said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0:

Don't worry, we will remove that popup for now.

thanks

@peat_psuwit said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0:

My understanding is that Ubuntu Touch now have a facility to retry retrieving MMS if downloading fails. So, in that case, you should get a notification, after which you can disable Wi-Fi and retry retrieving MMS (@lduboeuf please correct me on this if I'm wrong).

OK. I will test and report.

@peat_psuwit said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0:

You should not have to uninstall applications; once all applications are updated, you should be offered release upgrade. This is intentional, as many times application and system updates can solve compatibility issues with the new release before the new release is being upgraded to.

Got it.
I forgot to mention it, but first I tried to update these applications.
But, I don't know why, it failed, and the only solution I then found was to uninstall them.

@atarilinux
unsure but maybe systempart=/dev/mapper/system is missing in cmdline

from porting Telgram Group :

system.img and rootfs.img are the same thing from a fastboot POV. your userdata should be freshly formatted as ext4, but yes that's what the bottom of the doc also explains, which one you need and how to flash it depends on if you included e.g. systempart=/dev/mapper/system on cmdline for devices with super partition

also unsure about other fields

@ftmazzone
Ok, we just have to disable wifi when sending MMS, not a problem.

As we do not anticipate when MMS will arrive, will we have to disable wifi all the time to be able to receive them ?

@lduboeuf
yes it worked on focal wih wifi on.
unsure, but it could be related to MessageProxy / Proxy set or unset.

according to these tests, yes on T-mobile

@peat_psuwit
I followed the above procedure to update my Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC (surya) to UT 24.04-1.0 Beta 2.

This worked well except a UI issue: I had to uninstall two applications because instead of seeing the screen offering the system upgrade, I saw a screen proposing the update of Dev Tools and Pure Maps Slim

After some tests everything seems to work properly with the notable exception of MMS.
Indeed, I can no longer send or receive MMS when wifi is activated, which seems to me to be a regression, at least on this device.

There is a script to extract command line args and other needed fields.
See at https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/build_and_boot/standalone_kernel_build.html#extracting-values-from-stock-boot-img-vendor-boot-img

@AetheralMeowstic
in the new halium 12 port for sargo and bonito, VoLTE is configured, yes, but the port is not finalized.
