@mw4jet Thanks I'll try it

@mw4jet said in Cannot 'forget' Bluetooth Device:

Any idea if and when it's might return?

I wouldn't expect it to land in 16.04 anymore. 20.04 is around the corner, and it already contains a much newer Bluetooth stack. The one from 22.04 even, if I am not misremembering.

@saveurlinux Just to expand a bit on this list.

I can confirm that Wireless External Monitors on Focal do indeed work! I tested on a Mira Cast device with 0 problems, in fact I think it runs much better then xenial right now.

Similarly I can also confirm 7 day stability, this obviously ranges from device to device based on battery and other factors, but on my decently new pixel 3axl the battery will last more then a week turned on and on idle, the suspend is very effective, and I do not have to reboot the phones software just about ever. Last reboot for me was nearly two weeks ago.

@mw4jet Nature abhors a vacuum and Linux/Unix abhors a space. If you type

rm George Ezra

then the OS tries to delete a file/directory called George and another one called Ezra. Both of these don't exist so it lets you know and doesn't delete the thing you wanted to. Enclose it in quotes and all is well.

I shut it down from the fastboot menu and it booted normally with just the power button, thanks again for all inputs here.

@mw4jet ok, I use mywebtelegram and Zwebtelegram, They are the most modern ones, they have a few bugs but they are constantly updated through the telegram website,
Teleports is the big Telegram app, it's the one I mainly use, the webapps are for more support and for other accounts
Regards...

@moem Thanks, that should have been obvious, seeing as I must handle the device, I missed it. Basically to me, that's same as opening the app as I must clean my hands, handle the device.

Regardless, a must have has been implemented for me!

Don't want to do the Android test yet. Living with the weird power on issues. I always hold vol up and power, takes 5-7 seconds it vibrates, I let go and it boots. Shutdown is normal, hold power button and the 4 choices show up. I have found it won't boot if the usb is connected, like charging.

Got phone and text working with cell data. The only thing I don't have working is pictures in text messages in or out.

I expect other things will surface when I begin to carry it, but we'll see.

@rocket2nfinity said in OP6T failed ubports installer:

@mw4jet MSMdownloadTool if wiping data and cache in the installer or with TWRP did not work

This is definitely the fix. Boot into TWRP without installing, UBPorts installer works well then.

@rocket2nfinity US Mobile is a good deal. Really customizable for a strict budget situation, plus 2G service.

Just want to let everybody know...

@alaraajavamma said in Adding Nextcloud to accounts in settings:

As far as I know the best option is to download GhostCloud from the Openstore.

And I suggest to download Ubsync also

Thanks

Hi @mw4jet

Bluetooth is a bit rough around the edges.
For some devices it might work fine, for others not so much.
The user experience seems to vary depending on the phone used and the BT device connected to it...

Hopefully the move to 20.04 will bring a newer version of bluez and a better support of devices...

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.

Also to add that the same button on the headset will accept and end a call, so I know it has some connection to the phone.
