@jiho Are you willing to take pull requests? I was actually thinking about trying to make my own version of this app but then I found out you're already pretty far in! I have an PineTime and Pixel 3a with UT, and I also have a lot of experience with C++.

I’m on a Pixel 3a xl on the developer channel

Why is 20.04 a higher priority than VoLTE? 16.04 runs great on the OS side, but without VoLTE many phones will soon stop functioning. What does 20.04 add that is not just nice to have features?

Hello!

I have been using a Pixel 3a for a few months now with UT, and I love the software side of things.

I heard that Volla phone will be the first phone to get VoLTE support when it is finally finished, so I've been thinking about switching once that project is finished, but I wanted to know more about the Volla phone itself. The website talks endlessly about how secure the software and OS are, which I totally get, but they rarely talk about the phone itself?

Does the Volla phone have hardware switches for mic, camera or connectivity? Is it easily reparable? Are spare parts offered easily? Are the parts from more repair and FOSS friendly companies?

Basically, is there any reason to switch other than the promise of VoLTE?

Thank you!

@manland @magnargj Interesting, in case you want to try and recreate, here were my exact steps:

1. Load InfiniTime version 1.20 on the watch
2. Connect the app to the watch
3. Disconnect the app
4. Load InfiniTime version 1.30 on the watch
5. Open the app again and click add a new watch, and add the watch

Just now when I went to connect the watch again I was getting "pair unsuccessful" so I restarted the watch then tried again. When I tried again it paired on the second attempt and immidatly updated the time on the watch. The Bluetooth logo appeared on the watch and then my heart rate and steps data is updating well in real-time.

@jiho Hey, so as a first step I wanted to re-create the issue you had so I installed infinitime 1.30 and then tried to connect and I had no issues at all. The watch connected first try, the time was set correctly to the phone's time and my heart rate data is syncing perfectly.

Maybe there is an issue with your install of 1.3? If I'm just the only lucky one then let me know and I can look over InfiniTime again but I also compared the releases and there didn't seem to be any updates to the connectivity added, only cosmetic and new features.

Since 1.30 is working for me I think I'll switch gears to notifications instead, let me know if you are having trouble with 1.30 still

@rocket2nfinity Thanks, I just set up a 10 euro per month donation like they asked for.

@jiho Ok, that sounds like a good spot for me to start. I will see if I can find the part that might have changed in the connection process.

@jiho Ah, I see! I'm less familiar but for my job I've had to write a lot of python this month as well so I will take a look! Probably for the best in terms of getting something working as soon as possible.

Have you looked at the InfiniTime source code to try and see what they changed from version 1.2 to 1.3? You said the issue now is Bluetooth won't connect?

@rik Totally, makes sense, I've been following the progress of VoLTE and I was thinking this was a pretty big step forward all of a sudden. Still, good to hear! I'll try out my new AT&T sim when I get home and see how it goes!

Was a bounty ever set up for the VoLTE? If so I'd like to contribute if I can
