I purchased a Volla Phone on Indiegogo. Looking forward to delivery

@makeixo I need to say another thing. Maybe I already own a Gigaset GS290 and maybe I'd like to try it with UT.
Why shouldn't I ask in such a case?
Instantly calling me acting unfair isn't right.

And I'm just a user who isn't that deep in that thing. I even don't know if the port has been made by Volla or UBPorts. The letter case would make it legitimate.

But concerning your and my last post, I assume, the port has been done by Volla and knowing that, I would definitely support them since I also want UT and similar approaches to succeed.

I just want to make clear, that I support UT since years (I got 5 devices by now running UT) and I didn't mean to corrupt that in any way.

Got it. Forgot to secure that domain, so the URL started with http instead of https which I always typed. Secured it and now it works.
Sorry I bothered you!

@jojumaxx Seems like the phone "forgot" about the fingerprints that have been saved at that time. So I couldn't choose the fingerprint option, since "there were" no fingerprints.

I deleted them all and created new ones and after that the fingerprint option was enabled again. It seems to work normal again.

Solved it. I had to connect to my NextCloud calendar via the more specific URL (https://<myserver>/NextCloud/remote.php/dav)

It seems to work now. Sorry for bothering you!

I just realized that every video file I encode with Handbrake does work on my Meizu Pro 5. I reencoded all .mp4 files which didn't play before and after reencoding with Handbrake each of these Videos were playable. Even a movie (1,5 GB size) does work without a problem.
Strange to me is, that the codec specs (given by VLC) are the same before and after. So I can't trace down what the problem exactly is.
But knowing that, I have at least a way to make my videos playable on my device.

I also encoded one video to .ogv (theora + ogg) but that still was not playable. I really wonder, what the problem here is and why .ogv doesn't work though it's open source...

@domubpkm yes, but since it's running in a browser it will stop playing as soon as I turn off the screen, won't it?

@arubislander I'm sorry for my late answer.

I'm on stable channel. No, I did not apply any updates in between...

I had a similar problem some time ago (see https://forums.ubports.com/post/45373).
But this time that was not the solution...

As the title says...
I rebootet the phone several times, changed the unlock mode to everything but Fingerprint-ID and back, tried to add new fingeprints, deleted all fingerprints...

Now I can't add new Fingerprint-IDs, of course...
The sensor does literally nothing any more...

Can I get a status via terminal or what am I supposed to do?

Thank you!

EDIT:
After some more reboots the sensor is suddenly back working. What might have caused this? I wonder why the sensor stopped working and after a random number of reboots works again. Why not after one reboot? It's always the same process, right?
So what am I supposed to do if that happens again?

Hi,

I've created a "Facebook-App" with Webber on my Volla Phone. That used to work fine until now.
For some time now, after shortly scrolling through my feed, the App crashes and even caused the UI to reboot once.
What could that come from?

Thanks!

I removed the SD card to try in my Meizu Pro 5 and BQ E5 Ubuntu Edition. Worked in both phones.
After reinstalling the card in the Volla Phone the problem did only occur once again. Since then, it seems to work...
But it's annoying, I hope that it works again now.
Otherwise I'll try a newer card as well...

Hey everbody,

my Volla Phone often removes and adds the SD card for no reason, even when just lying on the table. That doesn't happen constantly, sometimes it doesn't do that for days. It seems to appear when the phone is not in flight mode. It even seems to reboot randomly then.

What could that come from? Software issue?
Or might that even be a hardware problem? Does anyone else experience this behaviour?

Thanks!

Hello,

on the VollaPhone I am trying to find a way to listen to a radio stream while the screen is off, since there's not a single radio app (either not present in the store like 'OpenRadio' or not working like 'flas') working.

I used a workaround: I used 'Webber' to create a web app of a radio stations website. I then prevented the background suspension using the UT TWeak Tool (v0.6.0).

That works like a charm on my Meizu Pro 5. On the Volla Phone it works, as long as the screen is turned on. As soon as the screen turns of (or is turned off) the stream starts to be interrupted and/or laggy. The moment I turn the screen on again, the stream is absolutely clear again.

Is the UT Tweak Tool on the VollaPhone not able to completely prevent the background suspension?

Or is there any other way to listen to a radio stream while the screen is off?

Thanks in advance

@stanwood Thanks for the link.

I reported it here.

@keneda I will do so

@applee In the last piece of code I didn't use adb. I should have said that more clearly.
I'm going to study the script further, maybe it clarifies itself.
