Hi,

Recently my sim carrier has shutdown 3G services. Only 2G and 4G are active. I am now getting only 2G signal on my BQ E5 HD Ubuntu edition. Is there any tweak to get 3G/4G signal?

Telegram latest version works fine on 16.04 RC. Also check below procedure for Dekko. I found this out after googling...

@libremax Is there any alternate mail client then?

I have flashed 16.04 Devel on BQ E5 HD. Even though the OS looks stable, I am having issue with Telegram and Dekko2. Once mobile number is entered, Telegram does not send sms. It just hangs on the screen.

Dekko also just hangs on startup. It does not move ahead for asking email address details.

Can anyone pls provide inputs here? Is this an app permission issue? How can I manually give app permission as under setings->privacy->app permission, these apps are not there,

I read a post on google+ which said that OTA-2 will be released today. SO lets wait and watch !

Dear Ubports,

I have BQ E5 HD Ubuntu and already running ubports for 2 months. Can I use below image as update? Are devel builds suitable to run as daily drivers?

I updated to latest stable release on E5 HD via 15.04 stable channel. Build looks great !

@wgarcia thanks for clarification. I was having same question

@wgarcia Ohh. Ok. Understood.

@mariogrip one humble request. There must be many people who r using BQ E5. If you decide to rebase it to 16.04, then it will be really great !

@mike I used system image server method.

I own BQ Aquarius E5 HD. I would like to add few testing points on the build I installed today using ubports guide.

Wifi Hotspot - working ok

3G speed also works as expected.

Phone works smoothly. Feels better than original Ubuntu OS.

Loqui IM does not work. It fails to send verification sms on this build. Might be app specific issue but still I am mentioning as a test case.

@Rafale07 The article which you have posted also says following,

‘The Ubuntu Store, the only official place to get apps from, is to close at the end of the year’

This is Nikhil from India. I am using Ubuntu Linux since last 5 years on my desktop and laptop. I also own Ubuntu Phone BQ Quaris E5 HD and using it as daily driver since last 1 year. Thanks to UBPorts for showing spirit of keeping Ubuntu Touch alive.

Thanks for the information Neo. Eagerly waiting for the new version of Ubuntu Touch by ubports for Bq E5 HD.

Meanwhile, can you please let me know is there any latest working system image that I can try after OTA15 on the E5 HD? I tried 22nd April image from channel ubuntu-touch/staging/bq-aquaris.en. It installs successfully but phone gets into boot loop.
