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.

@ko Read this first before even considering it https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2068/halium-first-steps

Please see this post for reason this post was moved https://forums.ubports.com/topic/206/will-you-port-to-device-x

@dobey Yes thats the other one I was thinking off. Thanks

@kugiigi Thank you for the clarification

Have you tried the extra features available by holding down the space bar? https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1893/osk-enhancements-proposals?_=1582280899724 There was another keyboard type more swipe based under development/testing I vaguely remember think @kugiigi was once more behind that but as I say lost track(pad ) a bit sorry for that.

@aclifton314 No should work straight away. I only have my OP3 on hand at present and that doesn't have Google account on it so trying to remember my OP1 settings.
Thats on dev and all Google accounts worked on that last time I checked. So maybe, and I know it's a pain to keep trying but, delete your Google account in System Settings, change to dev channel and install update. Then add back in your Google account in System settings you will know straight away if it works. Then switch on calendar and contact sync in account settings.

@thilov Oh flip now back to rational thinking which means I'm stumped

@thilov How about an off the wall test. Turn volume fully up on the device and reflash it with the installer. Maybe the higher volume will "stick" at a higher level. There are enough other odd things happening. I know none of this is really logical but....
Why the OP3 is on the loud side and the 3T quiet is odd as it's the same installer/update choice. Still that's all above my current understanding.

@Rowboth Have a read through this thread there is a command you can use to see the output of your battery from @wdehoog https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3615/oneplus-one-battery-at-50-issue

@Rowboth Think mine took a couple of reboots to work but not sure, can remember thinging it hadn't worked then all OK. Try reflashin with the installer?
