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

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!

@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.

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...

@AppLee Thanks, good to know how it's done

@Keneda said in Villa Phone identical to Gigaset GS290?:

@jojumaxx You should edit the topic title for user searching the forum : "villa" > "volla"

Yes right, but how? I can only find options to edit the posts but not the topic...

@Tellina Thanks! I'm gonna try that!

@Tellina

Could you list the single steps you did to get UT installed on the GS 290? I got one, too and would love to run UT on it.

1. Unlock bootloader
2. Go with the installer
3. If it comes to "Yikes" you did exactly what?
   4 ...?

Could you give the commands you used?

What kind of code is "GS290000000521"?

Is it necessary to initially delete partitions (did that on the Meizu Pro 5, wasn't fun though)?

Thank you!

@arubislander Thank you very much for clarification

Thank you all for your patient answers. In the meantime I got the Meizu Pro 5 update.

I'm sorry, I'm still pretty new to this. Since there was an update available for the Pinephone, I was thinking, that the updates go hand in hand for all devices.

Now reading these statements, I realized, it is version 8 on my Pinephone (Updates -> Recent updates). Is there something wrong with that now? I'm not sure, after reading the post right before this one. In the "Info" Panel -> Software it says "Ubuntu 16.04 (2020-09-18)".
"OTA-13" is nowhere mentioned. If that's incorrect, can I fix it? Or am I on devel now? How can I see that?

On the Pinephone and also the Meizu Pro 5 I can't view some websites correctly since the update. They have a very dark layer on top that makes it hardly possible to read anything, e.g. https://m.facebook.com/.
On my BQ M10 which is still on OTA-12 it works fine and on my Android device, too (mobile browser, not App). So it's not a website issue...
Has anybody else experienced this?

At the time of writing I already had the update installed on my Pinephone UT.

I just got the announcement that says, the update comes for several devices within the next days.

I apologize for having been asking too quickly.

I wasn't aware aware there was an announcement to come yet. I just wondered why the Pinephone already had the update while the Meizu didn't even find it.
I wondered if there was something wrong with my Meizu or if it's not supported any more.

My apologies once again. Next time, I'll give it more time...

Hey everyone,

how do I get OTA-13 on my Meizu Pro 5?

When I flashed UT on it a while ago, the flashing description said, OTA updates would be possible. But since OTA-13 is available now and my Pro 5 doesn't find an update, I wonder what's wrong or how I can manage to get the update on it...

Thanks!
