Hello
For a long time, the dependence on Microsoft, Google, Apple, Samsung, Amazon, Facebook & Co has really gone against the grain.
I looked for an alternative to all the madness and entered worlds of which I had no knowledge of the existence of which I had no knowledge before. A world full of innovations, knowledge, technology, but also full of pitfalls – but ...... Totally interesting 
I took out my old smartphones and played Lineage (Samsung A3-2016), e /os (Poco F1) and now most recently Ubunto Touch (Mi A2).
Lineage and e /os work flawlessly; googled – but otherwise with all the functions I need for my everyday life.
I have been maintaining UBtouch on my Mi A2 for several months. A really very interesting OS with great approaches, which you look for in vain with Lineage or e/ os. Unfortunately, but also with many errors, not suitable functions and also a few ...."does not work".

1. Offline charging: As soon as I connect the charging cable, a charging sign appears for about 15 seconds, but then the display jumps to "FASTBOOT". The device is charging, but this display does not seem to me to be correct here.
2. Camera: Basically, it is possible to take photos. But often really blurred and often the camera just hangs up. I have already tried to reduce the resolution. Without success. Viedos are almost never possible.
3. "Share" Example: Share photo via "DeKKo2". From the photo on "share" with DeKKo2, Dekko2 is started ..... but there is no new eMail with attachment to be found
4. Address book: Setting options are actually not available ... z.B. Display last name first. Determining a route via the address book is not even offered.
5. Navigation/Location: I have now understood that GPS is probably still a problem. But waiting 20 minutes for the first contact and 5 minutes every time you start, that's just too long for daily use (e.B. navigation in the city). Using your own location for "Weather", "Camera" or "Browser" also does not work.
6. Sending messages: Often there are a good 15 minutes between receiving the same message on my e /os and my UbTouch; the settings and the network operator are identical on both devices. I don't know why that might be.
   Maybe someone might help me with my problems with Ubtouch.
   Greetings

Hallo,
Habe am vergangenen Sonntag mein Pocofone F1 von Android auf UBuntu Touch umgestellt. Die Umstellung hat nach einiger Vorarbeit ganz gut geklappt.
Der erste Kontakt mit UT war dann schon klasse. Nach wenigen Minuten hatte ich die Gesten drin, funktioniert wunderbar.
Jetzt zeigen sich aber die ersten Probleme, die ich gerne gelöst hätte:

1. Der Akkuverbrauch ist immens, nach gut 8 Stunden gibt es noch ganze 30 % / mit Android kam ich fast 48 Stunden hin.
2. Der Systemstart wird mind. 1 x abgebrochen - klappt dann aber meist beim 2 Versuch.
   Wäre echt glücklich, wenn jemand die Probleme lösen könnte.

Hello,
Last Sunday I switched my Pocofone F1 from Android to UBuntu Touch. After some preparatory work, the changeover went very well.
The first contact with UT was great. After a few minutes I had the gestures in place, it works wonderfully.
But now the first problems appear that I would have liked to have solved:

The battery consumption is immense, after a good 8 hours there is still a full 30% / with Android I got there for almost 48 hours.
The system start is aborted at least once - but then usually works with 2 attempts.
Would be really happy if someone could solve the problems
