Attention UBports Community!

As UBports quickly grows, we need to know the clear answer to the question "Who is our audience?" so that we can develop our community and Ubuntu Touch correctly. Thankfully Querida, a member of UBports Marketing, has decided to do her International Business and Languages Bachelor thesis on this very topic for her graduation semester. So with your help we can all benefit from her hard work!

We ask you to kindly take about 5 minutes of your time to fill out this survey.
http://fontysfeht.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1AgS42j1S950aGN

To thank you for your participation, we'll be sure to publish the detailed results of this survey on the forum so you, too, can know more about your UBports Community.

Thank you for your help, and Querida thank you too!

Please note that from today any post in the Support section asking about New device ABC will be moved to Off Topic and locked. The Support section is for just that, support for issues with current devices and apps.

The list of current devices can be found here https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ and a list of potential devices here https://pad.ubports.com/p/r.fbf463250adef36ec3bc33a7f5f6be93

If you are interested in creating a port please read this https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/introduction.html and have a look at the Porting section of the forum https://forums.ubports.com/category/33/porting.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hey there, UBports! We just heard a little secret...

...Someone said that Linphone has just landed in the Open Store.
It's Ubuntu Touch's very first dedicated SIP app which allows VOIP calling - now!
In fact, you can even use it to make regular telephone calls, too!

You can create a free account -right in the app - and start calling other Ubuntu Touch users and anyone else who can use the famous Linphone software and services.

Join the party and keep up the good work!

Special thanks to @cibersheep and @bhdouglass for all the endless hours of work on this app.

@jjconstr Hello and welcome. Use the link in the post above your one for some useful information.

@jjconstr This https://forums.ubports.com/topic/176/welcome-to-the-ubports-forums

@jjconstr You just need to wait for your device. There is nothing as such to download, everything get pushed to the device by the installer. Sorry what introduction category?

@gazmito Just moved your question please see here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/206/will-you-port-to-device-x

@jjconstr No problem that's what we do.

@jjconstr The instructions for the snap are right at the top, but as I said have a look at how to install snap packages on Ubuntu first and give it a go.

@jjconstr Install the snap version of the installer and use Ubuntu on your pc. You then will need to install snapped first. Installers are here https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/tag/0.4.18-beta. you can do this all before your device arrives. There is plenty of info on installing snaps on the web. have a look and any issues just pop back.

@domubpkm The OP3 is on edge if that matters. Will keep checking back during the day and if it comes back up will try morph. Just to rule out an updating map issue, but I doubt that is it.

@domubpkm yes with the areas marked in red( map tab).

Edit 04/03 04:00Utc It did yesterday twice. Straight away when map tab pressed and also for mobile site. Today map is not there though rest is still there.

@dtarrant Probably a better question for @Pine64 here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2403/pinephone/533 if the answer is not on the ordering site.
