@ktatar156 You are not comparing like with like. When Canonical were running the development they had full time paid engineers working on it. It was good, but there were lots of things that did not work right.... or at all.

Since then the development has been handed over to (mostly) umpaid engineers working in their spare time. UBPorts have managed to fund raise to get some paid developers in to work on the harder stuff. They managed to move the OS from 15.04 to 16.04 which was a massive achievement. Every OTA delivered performance improvements and the odd fix here and there. I still have an old Aquaris E5 running the last version released by Canonical. It sort of still works but it is so slow and a lot of things just stopped working over time as software moved on. UBPorts managed to fix most of these issues.

They are currently working on 20.04 and the initial results sound very encouraging. Hang around for a bit and enjoy the ride!

Just tried the demo from the OpenStote.

Looks good, works well. Bonus points for giving us a working tester to try it on, nice work.

@applee There is also the saying 'never assume anything, because it makes an ass of u and me.'

But seriously you are right to say we learn from our mistakes. I like this notion, it means that I am very clever

@domubpkm I have started another thread about not being able to upload photos.

I'll leave this thread going to see if anyone can confirm/deny that this feature is intentional and what it was meant to do.

Thanks for you help. I'm just glad I was trying the right things and they just wouldn't work for me!

@becherekmg Just a guess, but would that be (reading top down) dev, rc, stable (all 16.04), then dev, rc (both 20.04). There isn't a stable 20.04 .....yet.

@sturai Tweezers. It might be best to power the phone down before attempting to remove the remains of the jack as you may inadvertantly short out the audio output

@eheintzmann You can check to see if your phone has rebooted by opening the terminal and entering

uptime

Followed by return. This should tell you how long your system has been up (since the last reboot). I'm sure this info used to be available from the GUI but I can't find it.

EDIT:

Install Ubuntu Info from the Openstore. Open it up and click on 'System', the uptime is displayed on about the 9th line.

Sorry everyone!

@elcaset Yes, use the installer but make sure you tick the option to wipe data to remove all your friends stuff. As was mentioned above you don't need to reload the stock android for your device if it already has UT on it.

Sometimes things go a bit.'off' with UT and you may notice some 'strange behaviour'. Quite often a reinstall without the wipe option cures the problem.... and maintains your precious data.

Welcome to the wonderful world of UT. Enjoy

for details.

Just tried the V3 scenario. It looks good, it makes sense, and it works well. Could you add this to OTA 23 (or 24 if too late now) and see how it goes when 'released into the wild'?

Thanks for working on this feature and introducing the concept of the tester. This could well be the future of new feature introduction!

@MrT10001 Or you could make the file system writrable. Make the changes you want and take backup copies to your PC along with a note of where they need to be. Then remount the filesytem as read only.

OK the next OTA would probably wipe your changes, but you can put them back from your PC.

Anyone else out there with a Pixel 3a that can comment on this?

I have a Volla Phone X now, before that a Nexus 5, and before that an E5. All of them detected my 3 SIM and populated 'System Settings' -> Phone -> Call Forwarding and 'System Settings' -> Phone -> 3 Services.

If your phone isn't doing that then you need to find out how to do this manualy or contact whoever set up the automation to find out why it did not work for either your provider, or your phone. Does anyone know who looks after this?

The 1 button works for me.... Thanks for pointing that out. Every day I learn something new!

Another thing I found "weird" is the ability to get the left menu out when the phone is locked, but this is more a desing thing than a bug.

This is a feature. If tou don't lile it you can go to 'settings', 'Security and Privacy', 'Locking and unlocking' and unselect the box after 'When locked allow:- Launcher'

@applee My Virgin router has separate networks for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. I just set up the 2.4 witth a lowercase name (ssid) and the 5 with the same name in upercase. Just select from your wifi drop down on UT. 5GHz has more bandwidth

@Salah You could try Settings -> Battery -> Lock when idle and select 'never' to keep your display on all the time.

@007fred50 Try this link....

@Moem Whoops. My bad. I did say it was a quick search.

My copy and paste failed. Is this any better?

@xpeer It should be the pin/pass phrase you use to start your phone.

@Salah please wait for ikoz to confirm ownership and permissions of the files and folders before giving up.
