Is this thread and its four points about GNU/Linux on phones in general or about Ubuntu Touch in particular ?

Are you saying that there is integrated into Android and IOS a way to get at your history from the other operating system and get back all your SMS threads and telephony calls ?

Yes, kind of.

And regarding save and restore only (not transferring), Ubuntu Touch targets all user types, not only powerusers, so rsync or things like that is not relevant for the "normal" user.
I know work has been done for integrating a save and restore tool to the UBports installer, did see some image even I remember.

@Lakotaubp said in Ubuntu Touch OTA11 and 24.04-1.1 are released.:

Edit: It's not. Now to find out when it will.

And maybe 16.04 and devices only associated to, should be moved in a "legacy" section.

@kugiigi said in Smooth Edges (name pending) - Let's Fix the Bugs That Drive You Mad:

Ideally, an easy to use backup/restore solution as well.

The ability to, the most easily possible way, save and restore (all) user data is a loooooooong time lack...

Also, another thing that can prevent people from testing UT is the lack of migrating tool, forward AND back.

When my N5@UT became unusable as daily, I had to migrate under FP5@FFOS and lost all my messaging data, now there's a stable port for FP5, but that very bother me to loose, again, all my SMS/MMS (not talking about RCS...).

If people can migrate from android to apple and the other way without worrying about their data, that's because those companies understood people will not migrate if their data can't migrate with them.

@kuailexs
Wow, I hope you'll find someone as this is a very old device with outdated UT port

@Lakotaubp
Still no f(x)tec device section

@newguy said in Upgrading Pinephone from 20.04 to 24.04:

I suspect doing a manual upgrade will work

You suspect right.
From https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/pinephone/ :
https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/pinephone-and-pinephone-pro-3889

updates are currently done through sudo apt update/upgrade

Pinephone builds also from pinephone device page :

@Moem
I red it before moving post.
I (miss?)understood at first from it that the section is for people who already started contributing, and need help.

Doesn't Seabass 2 can open .conf files ?

@Alain
Please use appropriated sections when posting on the forum.

Also, for your question, you can start by reading the pinned threads here :

@gpatel-fr

Ubuntu Touch only has GPS from satellites so far, no AGPS from home wifi and so.
So you will not get fixes if in a "bunker" and android will get faster fixes in closed place also.

@libremax
Scammers will always scam.

Maybe we could set up some "Ubuntu Touch Angels" like there is on Fairphone forum community help (Fairphone Angels), that can help people IRL, for things like installing Ubuntu Touch.

@theprivacydad
You're right.
But also, the name is confusing.
Some may think "daily channel" is for "daily device"...

@theprivacydad
Before there were no "daily" channel, that was the "dev" channel.
Don't know the purpose of the name change.

@Linuxlite76
Don't believe in any kindness from people like musk to open source.
But don't despair musk will bring you macrohard and GroKonPedia soon...

Please read answer @Moem already gave you :

@qnx_guy
I don't know if there's a solution, but first step would be to report the issue, if not already reported.
https://gitlab.com/ubports/porting/community-ports/android11/fxtec-pro1x/fxtec-pro1x/-/issues
Also contact phone makers maybe if possible as they are involved in port,

@pparent said in Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch:

The enter button does not trigger message send

When I push enter button in a text field I don't expect the text to be sent, but cursor to go to the next line.
So maybe not something to "fix" here ?

@Moktrull said in M'kaay... so I'm looking to aquire a Lenovo M10 HD tablet, just that there are so many models available...:

which is craaaazy expensive for a tablet of any kind...

Indeed.
Maybe you can consider pinetab2, even if it still is beta.

@bestenaizena
Because you need to "ask a question" before.
Then you will be able to mark it solved directly or by choosing a post as the solution.
