Will either of these features land for Vollaphone X and how can I help with testing?

@bbiw If in doubt use the Installer to load the current 20.04, but make sure you don't tick the option to wipe user data. In fact as was mentioned above you are always advised to back up your data before any major changes to your system.

@MrT10001 Back when I was doing a proper job I think I used to use Insert Special Symbol..... or.something like it under MS Word.
Just checked on LibreOffice and it is Insert -> Special Character then select the required character.

@MrT10001 I think he means the UT English keyboard. Not sure about where to find it on a desktop/laptop keyboard.
On the UT keyboard select numbers then long press the 0 key.

Works for me on Vollaphone X running 20.04 OTA 5 (eagerly awaiting OTA 6).

@TheBird Worked for me too. Many thanks.

@carl I was able to swipe from the right to see all open aps and then dismiss the black screen by swiping it up or down. No need to restart.

@domubpkm I get the same thing on Vollaphone X running 20.04 OTA 5.

The log shows:-

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

@ikoz It might be worth confirming owners/groups and rwx of the icon folders and files.

@musicologist I have a Vollaphone X running 20.04 OTA 5 and I do not see this problem. It was also OK on 16.04.

@benzer On my Vollaphone X running 20.04 OTA 5 I can get to the SD card in the file manager by launching it then clicking on the menu top left (parallel lines) then the SD card is at the bottom of the list - a string of letters and numbers. Clicking on this gives me the standard user folders (music, downloads, etc) on the SD card.

@musicologist You could try Settings -> Security & privacy -> Locking and unlocking -> Lock security and then toggle off the switch for fingerprint under Biometrics.

@naizena Settings -> About -> OS and you should find it in the 'Device build description'

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

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

@halucigenia Only if 3G is available.

@halucigenia I am also on 3 in the UK. If you for to Settings, Mobile, and then select 2G/3G/4G then mobile data and text work fine.... but you will struggle to make a phone call as VoLTE is not currently supported in UT and 3 have mostly only now got 4G and 5G coverage (VoLTE = 4G).
If you select 2G/3G then you might be able to make calls if your nearest tower has any 3G kit installed and switched on. I struggle to get a 3G signal in most of the UK now but weirdly it is still OK around Newark.
I am definitely thinking of running my Vollaphone X as a WiFi tablet and buying a cheap Android phone to make and receive calls until the VoLTE problem is sorted in UT.

@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.
