After 5 month..why I swap back to Android...
why I swap back to Android:
-
I still missing the fingerprint sensor, It's nice to have on some apps or for unlock your phone.
O.K., also on Android you often have the problem that the print sensor doesnt accept your dirty
hands, but still missing it -
Had many issues with the cam app, often could not shot a photo when I was in the very need of it,
was not able to save the photo, the ring turned around in the upper corner or I sometimes
had a right problem with the cam and had to restart the whole phone -
Often had a restart of unity, when I was in the use of the phone, I was swipping with the finger
the screen freezes and unity restarted, that was a mess, so also Waydroid was shut down -
Had problems with the podbird or podphoenix app, when I was switching from phone port to usb audio
and backwards, the app volume went lower by every switch between bluetooth and headset -
had ofter problems with the network settings, sometimes Wifi-Network was not available or did not
shown up -
I still can't use copy/paste in waydroid, no workaround was a solution for me
-
after a some time I was not able to use Whatsapp in Waydroid anymore, because Whatsapp
tolt me, that I'm using a custom rom, and Whatsapp wasn't anymore able to be installable on
the Waydroid Android, so I had to use a second phone(Android) over the Hospot, puuhhhh...
using the whats-app-web app was no solution for me -
many of my problems have not been resolved after this 5 month of usage
so maybe I will come back, will buy another test phone or will use my Fairphone 3 again, when I turn to the next phone, which will be in the next years...so long, bye bye
btw.: Ubtouch is no bad thing, but is still for experimental
a big thanks to all the developer!!! -

issues with cam app vertical horizontal and rights ?!?
Hi,
I have used the Development Channel of the UbuntuTouch,
after having terrible issues with the cam app I switched again back to stable, but have still these issues...Now I'm running Version 4,
before that Version 663, 692, 700, 706, 708Now I have this issue with the cam, that when I shot sometimes two pictures on and on, the cam stucks and the rolling circle appears in the upper left corner, maybe I have to wait some minutes, but then I will shut down the cam.
When I start the cam again the system tells me that the cam app has no rights, but in the rights it is activated, I have to restart the phone to use the cam again(sometimes this also did not work),
restarting Unity doesn't work...Reinstalling the app will also now work, same issues, I also have the feeling that the cam app also don't like it, when I turn the phone from vertical to horizontal ... when I shot a photo, the cam app freezes again, and rights will again disappear...
that stinks, really, when you try to shot a good photo...
does someone also had that issue?
Please, need help ...

RE: Issues after one week using ubports on Fairphone 3
@gandalf ...I think the main problem is, that it doesn't work under ubports, some program issues. Any solution for a decrypt software, I can't find some in the app store?
yes, I have installed the waydroid helper... -
RE: Issues after one week using ubports on Fairphone 3
@Keneda / @Ian an , yes I already found this out, but a greater choice, would maybe a longer press, so that the screen stays black and just the flashlight lights, second longer press will shut off Flashlight, had this on Android. On my Honor 8 a longer or two short presses on the fingerprint sensor started the flashlight.
I don't want to watch at the phone, just press and turn on, that would be perfect.But thank you for commenting, maybe others will be satisfied

Issues after one week using ubports on Fairphone 3
Hi I have used ubports Ubuntu now for near a week,
I have now collected some issues using my new system.First, it's great to use a real Linux on a smartphone,
a big thank you to all the people who are and where involved in the
creation of this, it now works far better than the first
Android system I've installed once apon a time on my Nokia N900
I don't know where to post this but maybe there are some
solutions from other users, could you please help me?Bugs:
WAYDROID issues:
-
copy past problem in Waydroid(copy past not supported?)----> hope the fix will work (reinstall)
-
some apps crash waydroid and ubuntu system, ubuntu restarts
- discogs
- castbox ----> (maybe using now podbird(found it today!) from the ubports app store instead)
-
WhatsApp issues
- phone rings/vibrates but will not wake up/turn on screen
you have to enter pin or pass phrase, then go into WhatsApp Waydroid, then you can answer, somethimes you're to late - when use phone on whatsapp, I only able to use loudspeaker not the little for the ear,
so I use external headphones, not the best fix, but headphones work.
- phone rings/vibrates but will not wake up/turn on screen
-
somethimes waydroid crashes completely you have to restart the phone
-
no WIFI or Bluetooth support(yet?!?)
- connection to Bluetooth watches
- connection to kodi via remote
-
sometimes I have problems with switch from wlan to mobile, when using a internet radio station
-
rotation of screen, only rotates on one half of the screen, so half of the rotated screen is blank(black)
UBUNTU issues
-
some apps ovverride the main volume of the phone, so if you have muted the phone, some apps still loud
you have to toggle volume in the app, and when you have raised the main volume, you still hear nothing,
so you also have to toggle the volume in the app, the not synced- Radio
- Videoplayer
-
phone screen not really shut down when using telephone,
screen flashes always off and on, will not dim until end of conversation -
once, I wanted to enter my pin, then I've entered the wrong pin, have shaked my phone
an the screen rotated, after this I wasn't able to enter anything, just stuck at the first letter,
had to restart the phone -
fingerprint reader still not available for Fairphone 3+(maybe in future??)
-
sometimes I have problems with switch from wlan to mobile, when using a internet radio station

I've installed truecrypt(need a program to decrypt containers) after
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
but it doesn't work on ubport ?!
Otherwise the phone works really nice,
for a still in progress system,
battery duration is good, could use it as a daily driver,
I also like this flip menues,
but other desktops like Gnome or KDE or E17 would also be great
but maybe I must reinstall Android, cause there are too much issues for me,
described in the upper text, which makes live not easy,
when you have to use your phone very quickly,
so some things need time, and somethimes you have no time...or... I maybe use my old Honor 8 for Android and the Fairphone 3+ for Ubuntu
Other ideas, maybe for the creators:
User defined short cuts for the power button, when in sleep mode,
maybe 'open camera' or 'flashlight', very useful, have usaed it with my old Honor 8 and also the Fairphone 3,
it's nice to have a quick flash light accesss, without free phone with pin.O.K., hope this was not too much text.
Thank you!
