On the PinePhone there are 4 update channels, the 3 usual plus the kernelupgrade channel.
Which channel has the latest development packages? I'm especially interested in the kernel and ofono upgrades that were talked about in Q&A 98 on 10 April which will provide a more stable cellular modem connection.
Where can we see package (kernel,ofono) changes as there is little activity in gitlab?
Thanks to all of the UBports contributors.
@yannesc This is probably RCS. I had this issue also.
I disabled the Chat Features in the stock Android Messaging App.

I have a Pixel 3a which I was running on the Development Channel. After creating the 2 APN's 1 for internet and 1 for MMS, I was able to send/receive SMS/MMS/Calls & data via LTE worked. I think that was on version 240, and it ran pretty stable for a few days. After updating to version 244 & then 246, I was unable to receive SMS/MMS although I could send SMS (I didn't tryp MMS). I was also only able to get about 18 hours of use with light to moderate use (mostly internet browsing and some texting, minimal calls).
I've since gone back to Android as I need my phone to work.
I'm in the U.S. using StraightTalk on AT&T.
I'm willing to re-install UBports to assist with troubleshooting.

@fredldotme Is there a way to install version 0.9.6 (which doesn't depend on the Online Accounts feature) and manually create the necessary credential files so we can get GhostCloud working on PinePhone? It would really be nice to have access to my files, contacts, and calendar on my Nextcloud server.
Thanks.

@moem This is off topic from improving the app., but here goes.
Do you have a recommendation on which Pebble model to purchase? I'm considering ordering one off Ebay. I see 1 seller with refurbished Pebble Steel watches for $45 + shipping. That's within my budget, but it's a 6 year old watch. What are your thoughts?
Thanks.

@pelican9000 Open the phone app. Note the up pointing arrow in grey at the bottom of the screen. Swipe up to see history.
@lt-dillinger said in Flashing to UBports on PP64 Convergence:
@kugiigi Do put this command into the terminal on the phone after boot into UBPorts on the phone?
No, you would run that command in a terminal on your PC. You may need to install bmaptool. - If you are on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install -y bmap-tools
Then download the .bmap file and .img.xz file.
Then find the block device of your PinePhone: sudo fdisk -l
Here is what mine looks like:
user@ws1:~> sudo fdisk -l
...Snip...
Disk /dev/sdc: 29.12 GiB, 31268536320 bytes, 61071360 sectors

Then using @kugiigi command:
sudo bmaptool copy --bmap=ubuntu-touch-pinephone.img.bmap ubuntu-touch-pinephone.img.xz /dev/sdc

@lt-dillinger I've never used etcher, so I unable to help if that's the tool you want to use. You could ask on etcher's forum, else get your hands dirty at the command line.
If you are not seeing this image on your PinePhone using Jumpdrive on an SD card, then you didn't burn Jumpdrive correctly to the SD card.
@manland I definitely like the new layout better (The xx% showing the popularity now has a label). Unfortunately I seem to be able to corrupt the Queue, advancing to the next song eventually leads to the Queue showing 0/0 but the songs that were in the Queue are still listed, and I can't click the circle x (nor any other button) in the Queue.
I went back to one of your previous versions. - Can't say which one since these both show version 1.0.0
Thanks for your hard work.

So I understand, have UBPorts on the microSD, boot the phone, then go to the terminal and use that command?
No, you would boot the PInePhone with JumpDrive from the SD card. Connect the PinePhone to your Linux computer with a USB cable and then on the computer find the PinePhone's location using lsblk. Using that information from lsblk command, write the UBports image (ubuntu-touch-pinephone.img.xz) to the PinePhone's eMMC. Pine64 has this info on their wiki.
