Hi all
I have a pair of Sennheiser Momentum 4 BT headphones and they work great for music or calls in waydroid. Unfortunately whenever I try to make or receive an actual phone call they get disconnected from UT.
Is this a known issue or (more likely) specific to this combination of FP4 + Momentum4?
Thanks in advance 
I got pyclip installed but it's not enough or working. Don't do this at home 
I'm on a fairphone 4 / OTA1 and followed this bug report https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/309
cd Downloads
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
sudo python3 get-pip.py --prefix=/usr/local
sudo pip install pyclip
sudo apt-get update
sudo install wl-clipboard
Starting waydroid removes all these errors:
waydroidclipboard: Received transaction: 2
Could not setup clipboard
But copy/paste still doesn't work. It does crash the apps I tried it with (firefox/whatsapp). Then again copy-paste between firefox and whatsapp doesn't seem to work at all without those packages installed either...
Hi all
I recently saw a notification from the "Waydroid Updater" to install a new image inside of waydroid itself. Can this be done from within waydroid or should I update the image from outside directly? And do I need to set r/w flags for the filesystem before attempting the upate?
thanks 
for whatsapp you can either use whatsapp web, or use waydroid and run whatsapp in there. Battery life is on the order of 15-20hrs with light use and waydroid always running. You can probably run whatsapp web and just use waydroid to verify the login qr-code (beware the need to get the qr-code in front of the camera )
@kugiigi
correct, the pin entry does not need any confirmation after enough digits are entered. So once the screen is on any random touches on the numpad will lead to a string of login attempts.
@lduboeuf
I have both the greeter and the launcher disabled. it's possible that I failed to enter the pin on the full keyboard as I was a bit rushed. 
In any case, given that the bootloader needs to stay unlocked and UT not does support encrypting the home partition(?), I don't think the possible limit bypass by pulling the battery is a large security issue, but it was also not the expected behaviour
Hi all
I managed to activate the screen of my FP4 in my pocket and have it do a few pin entries. The phone locked up displaying a password entry field. Is that supposed to be a different password from the pin I use to normally access the phone?
I entered the pin and was greeted with a message about too many attempts and the phone locking for 5 minutes. I pulled the battery, rebooted, and got in with my pin normally.
I then rebooted the phone due to bluetooth not working properly, and was greeted with the "too many login attempts" message again and had to wait out the last minute of the 5 minute timeout. That seems a bit out of order?
p.s.(a) for any FP4 owner: when pulling the battery make sure your micro-sd didn't come loose... re-seating the battery is a perfect way to guillotine your sd card... ask me how I found out 
@Darkice
I had the same issue with the music app. Default apps get hidden when uninstalling them and don't get properly unhidden upon reinstallation:

Hi all
Simple question spoilered by the title: What's the current state for backups on Focal? Are there any backup utilities available, and if not, what parts need to be backed up besides the obvious docs/pictures/etc folders?
cheers
@arubislander @kugiigi
Okay, thanks for the info. Those errors messages and symptoms look a bit disconnected from what's going on, but I got the player back 
are you on 16.04/xenial or 20.04/focal? There's a recent thread for focal about advanced wifi security not working here with eduroam as the example (though no solution/answer either):

@kugiigi
Yes, no, and finally yes again . I was able to remove and immediately reinstall a few apps (calculator, doc viewer, uVolMan). I then removed the calculator and rebooted the phone. I could no longer reinstall the calculator. When browsing the storage to find where the apps are stored and to see if there was anything left behind I came across this though:
root@ubuntu-phablet:/opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 phablet phablet 7 Apr 13 12:39 calculator.ubports -> @hidden
lrwxrwxrwx 1 phablet phablet 7 Apr 5 23:53 music.ubports -> @hidden
I was able to reinstall the calculator app after removing the calculator.ubports entry:
cd /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet
rm calculator.ubports
rm music.ubports
For the music app I just removed the entry and rebooted. The Music app re-appeared again and is working 
Does that mean removing apps just hides them from the default phablet user and reinstalling fails to remove that hiding flag?
@kugiigi
Thanks for the reply. No, I wiped the phone clean and set it up fresh with the installer for focal. I tried reinstalling the Music app first and when that didn't work I uninstalled it. I have since rebooted a few times and I could never install it again 
Hi All
I played around with waydroid and my Bluetooth headphones on my FP4 (OTA-1). At some point the music app stopped working. I tried reinstalling it through the openstore and manually through the terminal. In the openstore I click on install, it runs the progress bar, and then simply returns to showing the install button. Downloading and manually installing shows this:
pkcon install-local ~/Downloads/music.ubports_3.0.2_all.click
Installing files [=========================]
Finished [=========================]
Fatal error: No such file /home/phablet/Downloads/music.ubports_3.0.2_all.click, or unknown or unsupported content type
Are there any further logs to consult? And where do I actually find the logs on UT?
thanks
@patlefort
You're right, permissions are not working properly yet. I didn't really notice as I have only used it for reading existing files yet
Thanks for the clarification 
using bind mounts in UT works on my FP4/OTA-1 (focal) without touching any permission settings etc as described in the waydroid documentation:
https://docs.waydro.id/faq/setting-up-a-shared-folder
for example:
sudo mount --bind ~/Documents ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/Documents
sudo mount --bind ~/Downloads ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/Download
sudo mount --bind ~/Music ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/Music
sudo mount --bind ~/Pictures ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/Pictures
sudo mount --bind ~/Videos ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/Movies
allows sharing files in those directories between UT and waydroid both ways.
The one missing feature is making the bind mounts permanent. I added them to /etc/fstab but changes to that file don't seem to survive a reboot.
edit: I realize you did link to this and mentioned it doesn't work on xenial, I still posted here to let people know it can work on focal
Hi all
As the title says, what's the current status of convergence for the FP4, and possibly focal in general?
https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/fp4/release/focal no longer(?) mentions support for convergence. I think the "display out" tag replaced the convergence tag. If so does that mean convergence is technically supported as in the hardware is there, or as in the software is ready and it's usable as well?
I assume I'd need either a usb-c dock or one of the newer usb-c dock like monitors with a usb hub?
thanks
Hi all
I switched to the development branch and reinstalled both waydroid and the helper app: it actually works 
not sure when that happened, but why not confirm it here.
It took a few app starts before the waydroid app icon showed up in the drawer and sometimes it takes a few seconds for one of the waydroid windows to show up 
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo waydroid init

A battery saving feature that prevents you to contact anyone in case of emergency ?
It's still a hypothetical answer and nobody said it was a clever feature
