@clicker said in Lock screen doesn't lock:

I'd be curious to know if anyone has had the same problem on Focal

I've never had this issue on Xenial or Focal. What's more, this is the first time I've heard of this issue. I've used Oneplus One, Xperia X and Oneplus 5t.

I would reflash if you can, it's easy and safe and fixes a lot of issues.

Today, my desktop Signal told me to sign into my mobile Signal in order to keep the account active. Briefly running original Signal for Android in Waydroid was enough to make it happy again.
This may be a monthly thing. Not horrible, but good to be aware of, as I don't think Cinny passes that message on.

@carl Just having a compatible device does not mean that UT supports it on that device. You need it supported by both the hardware and the OS.

@jojumaxx Not in my case, since I don't use Waydroid Freezer at all.

@stanwood Thank you, I could not get the whole video to play so I have only watched the first minute so far!

I guess that T-Mobile still offers other mobile connectivity than just VoLTE. Which UT does not yet support on the Pixel 3a.
VoLTE is one of the highest priorities with the UT devs right now and it's a very tough nut to crack. You might want to view the most recent Q&A; there is some news about it.

@Induchoodan You can't, there is nothing to install. It would need to be ported.
If you are interested in that, here is the documentation.

Please keep in mind that this is not a fast or easy process and there is a lot of reading involved.

Anyone having issues with keyboard copy/paste tab? I can not see the bottom button anymore on My Volla X23:

Maybe try posting in a thread that's not six years old? This one needs to be locked now, for that reason. It's also a news topic, which is not the best place to get support.

@Ida_ said in The best way to rince and repeat:

could I simply reinstall through the UBports Installer

Yes you can. It's a safe method and it fixes many problems.

@Lakotaubp Nice! I do happen to have a spare OP5t... I think I wil give it a go.

@domubpkm said in Camera stays black - possible to restart (via terminal)?:

Does the problem also exist on the RC channel?

Yes it does.

@kugiigi said in Camera stays black - possible to restart (via terminal)?:

I've encountered this issue in some UT devices since like forever and switching to front camera always fixes it.

How do you do that if the screen is completely black?

@jojumaxx This sounds like the problem I've been having. Please check out my bug report. And if you feel it's the same problem please comment and add your experience!

Sorry, I've only ever been able to fix it by rebooting. Usually it takes a cold boot.

Related to that: I'm having such a good experience using Cinny and a Matrix bridge in order to use Signal, could you please mention that so more people will know how well it works?
Thank you!

@liam Sorry, I wouldn't know. I just use my phone as a phone and I've never experienced the need to create a swap.

@liam What is your end goal? Why are you trying to create a swap?

@danfro You have at least two testers now!

@Robipo Good question! I don't know how to get it from that link either, I got it directly from Danfro. I can't attach it here, it's too large.
The filename is cinny.nitanmarcel_4.4.0_arm64.click
Once you get it, though:

• doubletap the file to open it
• when asked what to open it with, choose OpenStore.
