Not really features, I'd like to see more development on the basics. Two things that quickly come to mind:

1. Improved performance: less RAM usage.
2. Bugfree experience for the 3 listed core devices.

An adblocker in the webbrowser is something I really miss.

@ziggutas It's always a phased rollout. This is mentioned in the release blogpost:

OTA-7 is appearing as a staged rollout for all supported Ubuntu Touch devices over the next 5 days, completing on Sunday, January 13.

Good news. I was able to boot again and installed UBports eventually.

I tried many times, multiple variations, but in the end this combination finally worked:

• disconnect the phone from any cable (laptop, mains)
• hold volume up + power button for 12 seconds

Not sure if it was a fluke or the actual solution though. Hope this helps someone in the future.

It kind of works in your example with a dark background. But I still have the default white-ish background and think the text in the dropdown will become hard to read. Maybe post a screenshot of that too?

@Opolork said in Can open Reddit on PC but not on FP2 running UT.:

I'm using the uAdBlock app - could that be a possible cause?

Yes. I had the same problem after enabling the "StevenBlack Social Hosts" blocklist. May be others block it too.

I saw the new KeepassRX app pop up in the app store and I'm very interested to try it. Normally I'm not that that strict with security and trust the systems and people in place. However, this app will have access to all my passwords and made me wonder. Are there any security checks before an app is added to the app store? Can we for example be sure the package is built from the linked source code?

@rocket2nfinity The little dots that make the circle are the days of the month, one of them indicates which day it currently is. The bigger, different size circles around it is the amount of the current selected option was used before. The bigger the circle, the more it was used.

@wgarcia Thanks for moving the discussion, but most of these issues are already reported on GitHub and I reported them here somewhere already some time ago.

1. LED: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-touch/issues/48
   A bit cumbersome to frequently enable the screen to see if there's a missed notification. The blinking green LED like the BQ would be great.

2. Call volume: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-touch/issues/137
   This can get very troublesome when there's some background noise in the room. Sometimes it's almost impossible to hear the other person properly.

3. Beep: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-touch/issues/49
   Just a small annoyance, although the beep can be very loud depending on where you are :-).

4. WiFi disconnects: I'll have to describe it properly and submit a bugreport
   This is a big issue for me. When the extender has stronger signal than the router, the phone disconnects and wants the password again. This means I can't move around the house without getting disconnected all the time (30+ times/day). The BQ would just seamlessly switch over. I see you even have issues without extender. After disconenction it should just autoconnect without requiring a password again (it is saved already!).

@Vlad-Nirky said in App security (new KeepassRX app):

@RandomUser
The guy is super motivated and the app is evolving very quickly. It has already caught up with Focal and promises to evolve even further.
Really great!

I'm not denying that, I can see the progress and appreciate all the work he's doing, genuinely. But you give the app access to all your passwords, I don't think it's unreasonable to be a bit cautious.

@arubislander Thanks for the information, something like this is what I was looking for.

I'm running 20.04, not sure which OTA. When going to the update screen in the system settings, the update channel is stuck at 16.04. Changing it ends up in an infinite spinner.

There might be a problem reading the current OS information perhaps?

• I'm not able to see anywhere which OTA it is, the "About" page has an empty field
• Running the "Ubuntu Info" app fails to list lots of device information
• Running system-image-cli i returns this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/system-image-cli", line 6, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

EOFError: marshal data too short

Any ideas to fix this or which direction to look?

@Moem No problem. There's bits and pieces of information scattered around, so sometimes it's hard to learn about these things.

@Moem Thanks. I found the Aurora store instead which makes things a bit easier.

@Moem How do you install Signal? I just installed Waydroid and the F-droid store.

@MrT10001 Ok, going through the updater in the system settings worked fine. Thanks, looks like I have a working up-to-date system now. Couldn't get it going through the installer though.

I've never came around to do the update, so I'm still running Xenial but it's probably time to take the plunge.

After reading a bit, it seems like going through the installer is the best route. However I can't get it to work. We all know about the reboot bug. This appears to be causing issues. In the installer, depending if you tick bootstrap, it'll either try to reboot the device in fastboot or recovery mode. The device switches off, but never comes back on. So I have to unplug, press vol-up+power and it boots again, but of course the installation is interupted.

How did everyone here did the update?

Just type "what is my user agent" into Google, it'll tell you as well.

Do sites think that I'm visiting in with Linux Mobile or do they think it's Android OS?

Most will think you're running Android because they're either lazy, incompetent, or ignorant.

The user agent contains something like "Linux Ubuntu like Android". Devs just do a quick check, see that it contains "Android" and assume that's what's running.
