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.

AFAIK it will move to noble, but it won't get VoLTE (like the Vollaphone). First it's nice to know that these devices are kept alive with the move to noble, but on the other hand it's a pity that they won't get VoLTE (even if they are capable of that under VollaOS). So they will be up to date from the software-side, but can't do a simple phone call or sending a message/SMS because of the 2G shutdown

@Vlad-Nirky I'm using the calendar of my E-Mail-Provider (posteo) and it's working like expected with caldav.

@arubislander For @Salah EVERY bug get's fixed with the release of 24.04

@arubislander I'm pretty sure there is a bugreport anywhere. As I said, the bug is in Focal, was in Xenial and I think also in Vivid/Trusty.

Edit: Here is one bugreport for this.

And that's an old bug: Shutdown the OS with more than three opened apps crashes Lomiri.

@Vlad-Nirky That's the same for me. When you wan't to change the keyboard-layout in system-settings you are not able to do so. But when you try it through the keyboard-indicator you can select your layout. After that system-settings etc. is not available anymore (crashes directly after starting the app).

According to the question @domubpkm : Will the milestones be updated to the actual release schedule? These dates and milestones are outdated but in earlier days it was a nice place to look at which OTA will land at aprox. what time.

@Salah Then it seems for me that it's not related to the cache.

@Salah Nice to hear that your camera is working again. But I don't think, that rebooting the device 4 times helped to reactivate the vibrations. Have the vibrations worked before deleting the cache? Have the settings (there are several) in the settings-app related to vibrations been enabled?

@Salah I don't understand what you mean with hardcoded? Open the terminal app and enter the mentioned command.
