Hi @oldbutndy,

I'm sorry to have to say this, but your expectations are pretty high, considering that UT OS isn't sold but is based on donations.
Anyone who uses free software should really be more modest, especially since so many people aren't willing to make a donation because the software usually doesn't yet meet all their hoped-for requirements.
That's my view, regardless of whether your concerns are justified or not.

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

I keep reading the myth that nowadays you need a smartphone.

Let's be honest, if everyone stopped using these services and instead did everything at the counter or in the store, then neither the tech giants nor the authorities would have so much power.

Incidentally, the authorities seem to fear the people more than the tech giants, which is really worrying.

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.

Hi @peat_psuwit,

about Sony Xperia X:

Well, I can confirm that the sound works through the speaker.

Bluetooth connects, but there is no sound in the headphones.

Now I also have VoLTE on the Xeria X, amazing.

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:

Greetings Mario :face_blowing_a_kiss:

Hi MrRoughwood,

Congratulations!

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

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.
Greetings Mario

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 @rocket2nfinity,

As of today, I am on channel RC <24.04-1.2 RC> with my <Oneplus Nord N100 (BE2013)>.
Hurray, I am so glad that my horse is still alive. It is simply amazing, almost indescribable.
VoLTE is here.

I haven't tested everything yet, but phone calls are working, many thanks to all the Heinzelmänchen.

Greetings
Mario

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

Hello,

Oh, I see—it seems to me you're both lazy.

Is this helpful ?

@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 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

Hi @zubozrout and @ktatar156,

Despite all the arguments that your and also the above posts contain, which for me contain nothing but conveniences, it in no way gives you permission to express yourself so condescendingly about the work of such a small group of people who do great things here.
And please remember that you are not the only ones, it happens every 3 to 7 weeks that we have to endure such complaints here.

Because for the amenities you are looking for, there is also eOS and others.

Sorry, but I had to give myself breathing room, because my device is first and foremost; simply a phone, over which I am the <master/woman)>. And for that I love the makers and helpers of Ubports with their OS Ubuntu Touch.

With love Mario :unamused_face:

@keneda Hi, Working with the terminal:
Just press your finger on the screen (without moving) about 2 seconds, then select <select> from the menu, highlight the desired text with your finger and select <exit selection mode> at the bottom of the screen, now, back again, select <copy> in the menue.
Switch app and paste in the selected app (for example ForumWebApp, MorphBroserApp, EditorApp, or whatever).
That's it.

Greetings Mario :winking_face:

@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
