@mihael Report this issue to the device's port. That is not normal. Phone app should work almost instantaneously.

I don't remember the exact gsettings name. Perhaps you can look it up here in the forum. If you know how to read codes, you can check the repo of the tweak tool. If I am not mistaken, the value that should be added is lomiri-dialer-app. I assume it now suspends on Noble because it was dialer-app.

@mihael I don't understand why you'll need this but it's probably a bug in the tweak tool. Phone and Messaging seems to be gone from the list. Morph and system settings are still there despite being deb packages as well.
I'm sure you can manually add them to the gsettings for apps that don't suspend. I believe they were renamed to have lomiri- at the beginning of the app id.

@johndoe I agree. I don't think they need to be removed. I do wonder who used this feature though
Would be nice to add the more open platforms but again, who use this feature?

@wally Oh you are right. I thought T9 is what you call the old school way of typing on keypad phones
It is called multi-tap apparently which is kinda generic and boring LOL

@gpatel-fr These are all valid ideas and bugs. File them in the repo and maybe someone will look into them. I'm just not sure about one-handed use. At the moment, the standard design guidelines aren't really prioritizing that.
I personally want them too and that's why in my apps, I have one-handed features such as the copy of OneUI's pulling down a list view But that won't be accepted in core apps

As for the T9 typing, it is indeed not obvious. To be honest, not sure how to make it obvious. It is by the way not exactly T9 typing because it checks all the letters per number so you don't need to press them multiple times. It's actually cool

LOL This is funny. This is definitely a bug and most likely I'm the culprit since I redesigned it. Seems like the add to contact buttion can still be clicked even when hidden, same with the delete button since I also get a haptic feedback from it.
BTW, if you're old enough, you can actually search for a contact using T9 typing which is awesome

@djac The redesigned phone app is only available in Noble so this bug/feature is not there in focal

It was indeed interesting but it's most likely using Unity 7 and not Unity 8/Lomiri so I highly doubt it'll ever come back with Lomiri. I mean it would be nice but it's at the bottom of the priority list.
Also in general, TV is sadly plague with proprietary things so it'll almost impossible to penetrate the market. Unless you don't care about HDR, Dolby, and surround sound and such, you'll be stuck with SDR and sometimes 1080p on Linux.

I'm afraid if you don't like the swipe gestures then Ubuntu Touch isn't for you. It won't change most likely ever. Many people actually like it. Not everyone uses their phone with one hand and some people have big enough hands to still use big phones nowadays with one hand.

It's not perfect though. Obviously, it can be improved such as adding an option to interchange the left and right edge functions. For one hand use, having a better way to go back in apps would be great. There's a lot of discussion about that already but nothing has come out of it yet. I personally have an experimental horizontal swipe at the bottom which I think works well but still not sure how well it'll work as a standard in UT.

About the keyboard, not sure why your experience is like that. Lomiri, the system UI, supports keyboard navigation. It literally exists on desktop distros now and quite usable. Bluetooth can be wonky though so it's probably that.

It has to be enabled by the porter however, it might not work properly if it's an optical sensor because as far as I know, those are not yet supported due to the need of flashing the screen when scanning your finger.
On my S10, which has a deas port, it works fine but it's ultrasonic.

@GooglyBear Anything would be fine. HDMI input or type-c displaypprt input.

There's a ton of portable monitor nowadays. However, many of them don't have good firmwares For example, some have wonky handling of touch, charging and output when using a type-c cable.

@qrvhh Have you tried reloading the page after signing in? I don't think we really do have proper handling of login popup windows.

@qrvhh A work around would be to allow google domains, at least those that are used for logginf in, in your webapp when you created it with Webber.
But yeah, it would be nice for webapps to handle these in an internal overlay instead.

@GooglyBear I don't know the technical details enough to be able to come up with a workaround
I tried some things, even modifying Lomiri codes, but nothing worked.

@GooglyBear Sorry I can't remember if I did but you can check the Ubuntu Touch repo or Lomiri or Mir.
I did asked Mir developers about it and they said even the latest version at that time didn't support it.
Fun fact, even Gnome has this problem, it can't properly map multiple touchscreen displays. KDE however does.

@GooglyBear I have a portable one. Touch works but not correctly because it maps to the built-in screen so it interacts with the touchpad. I believe this is something that Mir needs to support.

@fair There is Waydroid 15 already?
In any case, I tried it on my FP5 and the playback indeed stuttered once the device went to sleep. This is probably something that needs to be fixed in the system.

@fair Which phone is this?
This is usually an issue with media playback that doesn't use media hub such as webapps. I guess Waydroid has the same problem, when you lock the device, apps get suspended. Interesting that Waydroid is also affected considering that it doesn't really suspend. I assume your phone has proper deep sleep so apps don't just suspend, the device goes into low power mode that processes like Waydroid can't function properly anymore.

This is definitely something that UT needs - polish. This is awesome and hopefully this becomes a successful initiative

On top of my head, these are the things that I think matters for most people.

• Display cutout and rounded corners handling. Most phones now have them and it just makes UT look unfinished and unpolished and of course annoying for the users
• AGPS. Without it, navigation is really hard to rely on. It may work quick especially if you use it often but it's still highly unreliable.
• Cloud syncing for contacts, notes, etc. Ideally, an easy to use backup/restore solution as well.
• Video playback. I think one of the weakest part of UT since the beginning is video playback. It never worked well. It has minor issues like video flipping at the end of playback then some major issues like actually crashing the app, for example on Teleports. There are also devices where it totally stop working until you restart media hub or rebooting the device. The experience is just bad in general in my opinion
• Small back button in apps and hard to reach in one hand use. Especially if you come from Android, I think you can really be annoyed by this and more especially if you are someone who frequently use your phone with one hand. This has been discussed dozens of times but it's a tricky thing to solve. I think adding a universal back action like Android is out of the question but what else can we do? I have some solutions on my apps and in Ambot Installer calles MariKit. It adds horizontal swipe at the bottom edge which can used to trigger back action or other header actions. It's very useful in my opinion but I'm still unsure if this is the best solution and approach.

@bekun Yeah that's the ideal functionality. On Android, that works fine, at least on Samsung phones. In UT, all touchscreens are mapped to the built-in display.

I was talking about on the desktops. Gnome have the same issue while KDE Plasma handles it fine.

Unfortunately, UT doesn't yet support correctly mapping a second touchscreen display. I already asked this to the Mir developers and they still don't support it in recent versions, at least during that time which was a year or months ago.

I actually discovered that even Gnome has this issue. I only got KDE Plasma to work properly woth 2 touchscreen displays
