@chris_bavaria Thanks for looking up the correct link. I also fixed it in the original post.

@lsitongia There's currently no way to set default app for file types nor URI.

@messayisto
On some halium 9 devices this probleme was solve since OTA 21 only, first week working for me too on this device.

@lsitongia I don't know what's going on. I did not write this text 😞 Deleted this Sorry for this unintentional act.

Neither does my Nexus 5 on Stable channel, yet text notifications work. I guess it is inherent in the messaging application.

@lsitongia Here is the main doc: https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/systemdev/online-accounts.html

Nextcloud QML plugin: https://github.com/ubports/account-plugins/tree/xenial/qml/nextcloud

@lsitongia Dev gets daily updates so you are well past OTA-20. As you suggest the OTA update is only a matter for the stable channel really. RC gets it as part of the weekly update schedule the week before. This is where the final testing is done.

@nero355 Thanks for the info. 👍🏻

@lsitongia Could you check, please, and tell me first 8 digits (TAC) of your IMEI? And do you have IMEIs from your previous phones that you were able to return back? It would be interesting to compare them.

@lsitongia
I'll add that while MTP should be on from first uTouch start on your device, screen must be active, phone unlocked, in order to mount it on a computer.

And only five folders can be accessed this way, documents, downloads, music, pictures and videos, for security reasons.

@lsitongia said in Miscellaneous Questions:

I'd like to ask a number of questions here in one thread. If you think it's better that I create a separate thread, tell me, and I'll do that.

I don't have a Pixel 3a, so I can not answers questions about that device, but I can answer general questions.

Do you know when UT running on Ubuntu 20.04 will be released? Where can I keep track of progress on that?

There is no set date for the rebase to 20.04 - it will be released after everything is made to be functional and it has gone through an initial test period. My guess is sometimes towards the middle of 2022, although it is possible it could come sooner.
You can keep up with the progress at https://gitlab.com/groups/ubports/-/epics/10
or via the Q&A's that are posted to YouTube every other week at https://www.youtube.com/c/UBports

Do you know when there will be full Nextcloud integration? I see the client on UT on my phones only has a toggle for Calendar. On Mobian on my Pinephone, all of the usual services are there, including Calendar, Contacts, Documents and Files. I wonder if the Mobian/Phosh/Gnome software would help with UT. How do I track progress on Nextcloud integration and the Online Accounts interface?

You can get file syncing and automatic backups working in UT with NextCloud by using the UBsync app - https://open-store.io/app/ubsync
A nice file browser app for your NextCloud server is GhostCloud - https://open-store.io/app/me.fredl.ghostcloud

Calendar sync works great - but Contacts sync support still needs to be fixed. What I do in the meantime is every time I update it, I export my Contacts list (via the Contacts app Settings "Export all contacts" option) and then save the vcf file to a folder I've shared with my NextCloud server via UBsync.

Does GSConnect/KDEConnect work between a Ubuntu laptop and the P3a running UT?

No it does not, someone would need to code support for UT for those apps.

I see the "What Works" page says NFC works! I know it can be used for touchless payment on the Big Two phones. What is it used for in UT?

Currently UT OS support for NFC has been enabled, but so far there have been no apps which take advantage of this made yet.

@lsitongia, as far as I understand, "Type C" only defines physical shape of a USB port. Inside it could be USB 2.0 or USB 3 or USB 3 + DisplayPort alt mode. Most mid-range phones only have plain USB 2.0/3.0 , and so video output is not supported.

Do you know, is that because it's the lower-cost version of the phone?

I think it definitely helps to reduce manufacturing costs. In case of Pixel devices the absence of physical video out ports also help advertising chromecast devices, I believe 🙂 . Considering all the things I wouldn't count on support for video output over USB Type-C port on a phone by default, unless it is explicitly advertised in device specs.
