I think everybody is interested in the actual state of

• 20.04 development-process:
  How far is this process ongoing? Are there any bigger problems? Is there an approximate timetable for the release?

• VoLTE:

I don't understand why people want to change from iOS/Android to UT but on the other hand still want to use all their services. In my opinion one effort of UT is, that you don't have to use accounts and services from these big companies and still have a functional and free phone in your hand.

I've upgraded my Volla from 16.04 to 20.04 with the installer. Here are my observations:

• Upgrade was easy and there were no problems with installing.
• With the first boot, the introduction/first start screen (Welcome to 20.04...) came up.
• My first SIM-card is PIN-protected and the system doesn't ask for the PIN automatically anymore. Now I have to unlock the card manually from the indicators. The second card (without PIN) works fine. The System is asking for the PIN-Code automatically.
• GPS is working with uNav.
• Calls (in/out) are working.
• WIFI is working.
• Cellular data is working (but only with SIM1).
• Flashlight is working. You can use the flashlight now with the app "uTorch", too.
• Automatic screen dimming is working.
• Camera is working (photo and video).
• Hotspot can be activated, but the device which wants to use the hotspot doesn't get an IP-address. Hotspot is working.
• Shutdown/Reboot from the indicator is working.
• Updates through WIFI are working.
• Battery-life seems to be like under Xenial.
• OSD (e.g. volume up/down) is working.
• Fingerprint is working.

I'll update this post if I realize any changes.

Update 26.12.2022: I've switched the phone to the 20.04 RC-channel and resetted the device using the "Erase & Reset All"-Option under system-settings.
Update 05.01.2023: I've switched to devel-channel.
Update 29.03.2023: I've made a fresh install of 20.04 stable OTA-1 via the installer with "wipe"-option
Update 01.08.2023: Update to OTA-2 via System-Settings

Is somebody able to tell about the status of "First steps in VoLTE"?
Is this project started, in which phase are we now, actual problems/showstopper, forecast?
I think this may help to clarify where UT stands in case of VoLTE.

Thanks

@domubpkm Work has started to open the door for you

@naizena When flashing my Volla with the installer it sometimes was so that the installer didn't restart my phone to fastboot-mode. It also said "flashing firmware partitions using fastboot" but I think it was still waiting for the phone to enter fastboot-mode.
When I restart my phone and select fastboot manually then the installer instantly started flashing. The whole process of flashing my device (with downloading files) takes around 5 minutes.
You can enter fastboot-mode by press and hold the power-button and volume-lower-button. Then there comes a little menu-selection where you can choose fastboot

Maybe you can test if it depends on your media files or something else. It seems that there is an option to prevent mediascanner from scanning separate folders by creating a file named ".nomedia" in the folder you want to prevent from scanning. I think you have not so many folders containing media on your phone so it would be easy to test.
After that please delete the DB and reboot the phone. I would expect that the DB-file will be rebuild but the mediaplayer will not know/detect any media on your device. If there's no double boot too you have found the problem. If not the search goes on

@bmarbol Here's what you're searching for.

Today Dekko2 is officially available for Focal in the Openstore and for me it's working like expected

How is the development of the "Bluez Upgrade" going on? On the Github project-page there's no status change. It would be nice if I can use the handsfree in my (new) car again.

I have the problem, that I cannot change the volume when I'm in a call. The Onscreen-Display is shown when pressing volume up/down but the volume stays the same. This happens on a normal call and also with loudspeaker on.
Volume control in other applications, for example with music-app, works like expected.
Is there someone with the same issue?

PS: This happens to me on Volla22 with 24.04-1.0 stable

@Charly I'm running Waydroid via Waydroid Helper from Openstore on a Volla22 with UT24.04-1.0 without any problems.

@vverve It's fixed in 24.04-2.x and also backported to 24.04-1.x. So when the there first update of 24.04-1.0 to 24.04-1.1 you will get this fix. Or you switch to 24.04-1.x daily to get it directly.

@domubpkm I think there is already a bugreport for this, because the counter within the icon is also not resetted e.g. emails from Dekko.

@Charly I've not tested it on my 20.04 device, there I'm still on version 0.4.1, because with 0.5.0 Dekko becomes unreliable and that's not welcome on my daily device.

Version 0.5.2 is working fine under 24.04-1.0 for me.

Within the post of the 20.04 OTA-10 announcement it's said, that it will be released on 25. September like 24.04-1.0. So maybe this initial post simply wasn't updated and the release is planned for today.
But like @Keneda said, scheduled doesn't mean that it will definitely be released.

@smobilesoft Then go to the openstore website and download the older 0.4.1 version of dekko and try it with that. This works for me.
And please report back, if this works for you, too. Then I can fill a bugreport against dekko.

Do you use the latest Dekko 0.5.0 under UT 20.04? Then I do have the same issue reported here.
Dekko 0.5.0 is working fine for me under noble, but doesn't work under focal. My temporary solution is to use an older version of Dekko because I don't want to reinstall my daily phone now.

@Futura I'm using exphone from the openstore for this. It's working fine for me.
