@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.
Flashed my Pixel 3a to 20.04 again. I inserted an AT&T prepaid sim in for grins and I can send and receive SMS but no MMS. It is showing it is in LTE. No calls work. Cannot switch to 2G as I read AT&T deactivated their 2G network. I was surprised.
As for general use, it seems to work pretty good but I have not used it a lot.
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.
@rocket2nfinity US Mobile is a good deal. Really customizable for a strict budget situation, plus 2G service.
Just want to let everybody know...
