@emphrath said in Swype keyboard for UT?:
@777funk ooo this is old discussion material right there ^^ we are too few people interested - that would require quite the coding endeavor while core parts of the OS still need some work
Exactly, while I use swiftkey or swipe on IOS and prefer it to pecking at the keyboard!
I would rather the manhours go to the operation of VOIP and essential functions of the device.
I have had UT on a Nexus 4 since Canonical was doing their thing, I was really looking forward to using Ubuntu but if memory serves me it worked, but with a lot issues and no cell or MMS at the time. I parked it a desk drawer then.
I stumbled upon UBports last fall and got the thing to reflash the image with this newer one. I putzed with it a bit but had not tried to use it as a daily driver.
In January I inserted my AT&T and it would not connect to the network.
I reinserted my sim in my IOS and they had locked my account for using an unsupported device. Seemed pretty brilliant to me.
I have since gotten a Patriot Mobile sim and inserted it and they sent a text saying "We see your phone does not have the correct settings to access the internet or send MMS. Setting will be sent to your handset." And it works.
I have been using it this weekend and all the issues are because it is a tired old dog! It's been sleeping in a desk drawer for three or four years! LOL! I am amazed it works most of the afternoon streaming audio to my BT headset. I found a Oneplus One that according to UBports is better supported. Hope so, I like UT a lot better than IOS or Android.
Hope to contribute here.
@rocket2nfinity US Mobile is a good deal. Really customizable for a strict budget situation, plus 2G service.
Just want to let everybody know...
I guess it was the carrier, Patriot is a "third party" and has limitations according to their support line, it never connected, and we tried for an hour, but the phone did not report a message to indicate it was SIM locked, I got an AT@T prepaid and it works great...basically same low rate too. I had reflashed to android and upgraded to Android 11 verified it worked, then flashed UT which was successful the very first try. A lot works on the Pixel too.
@Lakotaubp I suppose the bluetooth issue is a minor glitch seeing as the phone can't be used on 4G here in the US anyway
If the roll back doesn't work and the crash dump screen is persistent, you will need the msm download tool to restore it. It works and restores to stock. It is a oneplus too I think. Good luck
I see 20.04 dev is available for OP6T, has anyone tried it out?
I am not very informed on the workings of a cell phone and what it takes to make one work correctly, but I had a Samsung SG6 something or other with Windows phone 7 at least 10 years ago that the bluetooth headset had pause/play or answer/end, and volume up/down and a voice assistant that flawlessly announced text messages and I could reply by voice alone.
UT cannot run bluetooth with a pause/play function? I know I am oversimplifying it but it seems as though that was figured out a long time ago. I am disappointed is all. Handsfree bluetooth is a deal breaker for me. I need it to function in order to carry the device. Well I had it for a short time anyway.
Any idea if and when it's might return?

Well, that will be bad.
Well, that is simply how software development works. Things get developed and tested, and sometimes decisions need to be made that if some things bring improvement to a certain use case, but breaks other existing use cases.
I get it, but the button control of BT was a big plus that finally showed up. Oh well.
@rik I saw your posts on Telegram and figured I would give this a try. I had just reflashed my OP6T back to android 12 to peddle on Ebay, so I reflashed to UT and find no change from what I had before, Calls in and out, SMS in and out, no MMS at all. I have it in 2G on US Mobile.
Do you have any other MODS on the device? I had done some fiddling to the phone before but it's all stock UT now. I have a Pixel 3A but I cannot try it on US Mobile as it was supposed to be unlocked but it only works on AT&T so I cannot try that one.
@flohack said in Cannot 'forget' Bluetooth Device:
@mw4jet Sorry to say but those changes for buttons might be reverted since we faced a ton of regressions lately with upgrade to Bluetooth...
Well, that will be bad.
@flohack I did not use BT much because the pause/play buttons on my headset did not work, but now they work, but as for the bug, I will try what stanwood above posted. My desire to have a working UT device that I can at least do something like that in terminal is one reason it's attractive.
I wish I could help in its development but I am not a coder in any sense of the word! LoL
