Hi @domubpkm,

You will find the symbol on the English keyboard above the zero key. You have to stay on the zero key.

Hi @jojumaxx,

Thank you for having the courage to talk about things (convergence), but until now I thought that the core developers were already working on all the urgent things and only talked about what they found interesting in their Q&A shows. But what always bothered me (maybe like you) was that they don't always communicate honestly what and how much they are working on, or maybe nobody really has an overview.

For me, the rescue from the impending exit came with the porting of the Oneplus Nord N100.
I was able to buy an unused device (‘brand new’) for just CHF 120, and now I have a smartphone that can make calls and data traffic (UMTS/3G & LTE/4G => without VoLTE), make hands-free calls (Bluetooth) in the car, and SMS (unfortunately MMS has been dropped in Switzerland), take photos and listen to music. What else I will try out is: Chatapp Delta chat, navigation app and other things.

The chat is not important for me, however, as I can make phone calls, because I am one of those older people who have never realised why people nowadays ‘text’ instead of making phone calls (breaking records in terms of speed on such a stupid thing as a touchscreen) or, even worse, send audio messages. :winking_face:

So my horse is not dead yet. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Hi MrRoughwood,

Congratulations!

And it's a very good decision to start with “stable.”

Hi @MrT10001,

Good news! Exactly, Stabil OTA 5 is now also available for this device.

Thank you very much for your help, you are indeed a great help in this forum, because you are friendly, helpful, efficient, not work-shy and also professional in your range. :clapping_hands_light_skin_tone:

I had stuck to the device page because it is always kept so high by the forum moderators. Unfortunately (as it turns out) this very page is rarely up to date, which is a bit embarrassing.

A little teasing is a must. :winking_face:

Best wishes to all you dear ones out there
Mario :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes:

Hi @James-T,
I also suspect the socket on the appliance. This usually just needs to be cleaned, for example with a wooden toothpick. If this only improves things for a short time, I would also replace the socket.

Hi,
We repeatedly receive requests in the forum to port a device that has not yet been ported.
The communication option via Telegram chat does not always seem to be desired, but we offer it as the “only” one.

Couldn't we also create a group UBports Porting in the forum, where the most active portinghelper members (from the 1810) present themselves and name their skills, like rootfs, Halium, Vendor Blobs, or whatever?

It certainly wouldn't replace joining Telegram, but it might indicate how difficult such a port will be, and for the interested would-be porter-career comrades, make a learn and read section possible.

The status now, is seriously, kind of a secret pomposity, if you are not ready to register with Telegram yet. Also because you can't just poke around a bit.

Greetings Mario

Hi @Appointed ,

The answer to the forum post question is <NO>. :double_exclamation_mark:

Because we only guarantee the installation method shown on the device page.
You will also get the quickest help from the forum if you follow it. :ok_hand_light_skin_tone:

Of course, anyone can try a new path here if they have the necessary knowledge and patience. :winking_face:

The forum post can now be set as solved, thank you very much. :folded_hands_light_skin_tone:

Hi @Moktrull,

The Sony Xperia 10 II is a so-called AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and therefore suitable for a port for the UbuntuTouch OS.

In the important websites for such a port, the device is listed with the code name <seine>.

The following Android ports can be made possible: 10 / 11 / 12.

It is advisable to get in touch with our porting community < https://t.me/ubports_porting >.

Helpful links in advance:

Hi,
I agree 100% with what @Alter said. And I also think that this app approach does not fit our philosophy of alternative operating system against Android and Apple IO and others.

Hi,
On the page https://ubports.com/de/join-us at the bottom to fill in; The fields are explained in Dutch, instead of German.

Edit:
The same on the French page https://ubports.com/fr/join-us, the fields are explained in Dutch instead of French or English.

@c4pp4
Hello c4pp4,
so, my device has been running with this customization for almost a week now.
Still, I can't say yet if it causes any improvement in battery life.
But for sure I can confirm that it does not contribute to any degradation.
Thank you again.

Hi
It should stand to reason that the instructions, to return to Android, should be sought from the phone provider.
So in this case it would be the following link
https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048050332
:winking_face:

By the way:
I dream of an AI forum that would have the ability to allow only new topics, and automatically link similar or even identical questions to the questioner.

There are extremely many posts in this forum at the moment, and the built-in search function rarely brings satisfactory answer selections. This tempts many to simply ask again, and thus to expand the forum again.

One may dream nevertheless times, or?:winking_face:

Hi jezek,

Please also note this link related to your topic.
In particular, it states:
The verification of the conformity of combinations of radio equipment and software by the radio equipment itself should not be misused to prevent the use of the equipment with software from independent suppliers.
End of quote.

@tswanshi
Hi Tswanshi,

you will, unfortunately, never find out. Unless you could reproduce it.
Here are two of x possibilities:

Thesis1:
The motherboard happened to give up the "ghost" exactly on time.

You may also have heard of "exploding" or burning batteries, which brings me to thesis2:
The battery of the phone is old, and was in the charging cycle while you manipulated your phone (factory reset), thereby the charging electronics briefly lost control of the battery, and this then damaged the motherboard of the computer.

Of course there are countless other possibilities. :winking_face:

Cheers Mario

Hi @Rondarius,
Just tried it out and it works flawlessly.
Thank you very much.
Best regards
Mario

@zbr Welcome zbr,
yes there is still hope.

Try a total reboot by pressing and holding the power button until the device vibrates 3 times in quick succession.
The device should always have enough 'juice' in the battery.

Hi @arubislander,
Thank you very much for the fruitful and eloquent answer. :ok_hand_light_skin_tone:

@arubislander said in Device compatibility/lifespan with UT:

Some ports are sponsored by, or done in collaboration with, device sellers, such as Hallo Welt with their Volla Phones, and Fairphone with the FP4. These have a better chance of seeing good support.

That is, if the companies will have enough customers for their business model in the future. Which is what we all hope now, and/or that other manufacturers will join them. :crossed_fingers_light_skin_tone:

With :red_heart: regards
Mario

@dunbrokin You write 10 out of 10 points for messayisto, but you haven't given him any.
Why ?

Greetings Mario :winking_face:

Hi everyone,

Only for nerds: Unfortunately, the hack was provided for LineageOS, but maybe someone can convert it for UT.

However, I am more in favor of banks taking action and finally offering apps for open operating systems so that security is not left solely to the tech giants and their external security companies. I believe that we as customers have a say in this and should be able to register our smartphones with their operating systems, including rooted devices, in our bank contracts or accounts under “Personal Data” (My Account).

Greetings
Mario
