  • RE: My Ubuntu Touch daily driver is...

    BQ Aquaris E5 since 2015. Switch from E5 to Fairphone 2 in 2019. Switch from FP2 to Fairphone 3+ in 2022.

    BQ Aquaris M10 FHD since 2016. An amazing device!

    E5 has been the first phone of my son. And UT his first mobile OS πŸ™‚. But he wants more apps, especially games, so I may try /e/ OS with my old FP2. If my E5 still stands brave, it may be the first phone of my daughter also!

  • RE: Mail Client

    @mihael Actually there is an undo button ! I didn't noticed it because it is not avalaible in my BQ E5. I assume it is because I still use the Canonical image. But I have UBports in my BQ M10FHD and there is an undo button. I agree that it is even better since it notifies and let you undo in case it was a mistake. I think it is the perfect solution for most of the actions.

    I still think that a confirmation dialog after sending a message (or any action that you can't undo) would be good. Its a good thing to know that an action went successfully and that nothing crashed, especially now we are testing this new (and so good !) app.

  • RE: Focal/20.04 is out for quite a while now. You still use Xenial/16.04? I would like to know what stops you from upgrading?

    @danfro To back up and restore my data, I use this scripts that work pretty well : https://github.com/Intrinsically-Sublime/UT-Backup-Restore-Scripts

    But yes, a GUI would be so useful! Maybe that script could be a basis to it?

  • RE: [closed] Switch incoming call to silent

    I do use this feature very often with my BQ E5. I just push the power button. I causes two things :

    • switch off the screen
    • Turn off the incoming call ringtone

    If I push the button a second time my screen switch on and I still can see my incoming call. I can answer or reject it if I want to. In the end the incoming call stops and I have a missing call in my call log.

    Hope that helps.

  • RE: Mail Client

    @guru Sorry I was talking about Dekko 2 (0.1.2, experimental release). I have the same thing with Dekko 1 (0.6.20, no longer supported) than you told. Both Dekko 1 & 2 versions are available in the Canonical image but only Dekko 2 with UBports. The undo button is not invasive as it appears and disappears (=adding then removing 1 row in the email list).

    You can easily delete several emails at the same time by doing a long press in one of them. That will activate the "multiple selection page". After selecting the emails you can do some actions like deleting, mark as unread, etc. The problem would be the "several" word : how many emails can you select in order to successfully achieve the action ? I don't know but I think that my E5 will crash if I try with 40 in one time πŸ˜ƒ Hope that comment will help !

  • RE: The video recording on the Fairphone 2 is atrocious.

    @opolork not an expert but maybe an hardware problem? Or... did you tried to re-install UT doing "wipe-data"? (don't forget to backup before!

  • RE: OTA 3 suggestions: your wanted features

    @hans1977se You can do this using the "UT Tweak Tool" app. Go to the applications menu and select an app. There's a check box called something like "avoid the suspension of the application". It is not selected by default. Thanks to that option I'm able to listen to music or have skype calls and do something else at the same time. It even works with the screen switched off.

  • RE: The video recording on the Fairphone 2 is atrocious.

    @opolork Sure πŸ˜ƒ You should have a look at these scripts, they are very promising. I already use them when needed, and they are very useful. I hope that could be useful to you also.

  • RE: No flash on Fairphone 2 camera.

    @opolork ok lets do it a different way πŸ™‚ launch the settings app, choose the very last menu ( should be after the about menu), then the second menu. Watch out ! Don t confirm if you are not sure to be ready!

  • RE: No flash on Fairphone 2 camera.

    @opolork the first is just to put back the launcher to defaults in the case you made too much tweaks on it. The second is the one I talk about. It will wipe all your data and make a fresh install of UT. The install will be based on the current channel you have. So halium-devel in your case.

  • RE: No flash on Fairphone 2 camera.

    @opolork I have experienced this bug too. Sometimes it can be overcome with patience... or a reset... But maybe someone better than me could give good tips about that.

  • RE: No flash on Fairphone 2 camera.

    @opolork ok great. Maybe you could switch to rc or stable later. Do not expect the flash to work. It will only be the case in halium devel if i m not wrong. By the way you can also join the Fairphone + Ubuntu Touch group on telegram. Cheers.

  • RE: Lately, I've noticed both the Morph & Sapot web browsers keep quitting.

    I had the same with my fp2 and before that with my bq e5. Morph is not usable anymore in this devices as it crashes too often. I don t really understand why but maybe it just because the devixes are getting old and lack of ram? I m now using a fp3+ and there is no comparison as this device is new and powerful. But if there is a solution it would be great to give an other chance to my old devices πŸ™‚

  • RE: Lately, I've noticed both the Morph & Sapot web browsers keep quitting.

    @opolork the torch works! That is amazing after years using the fp2 πŸ™‚ anything that do not work properly with the fp2 is working well with the fp3. And the battery is amazing! But you will have some bugs. GPS can take some time to locate you. Pure maps use to freeze so you may have to reboot the app several times before routing. Display can be laggy sometimes but not a big deal. The worst bug is the lic not being useable by the apps after a phone call. You need to reboot the phone prior to take a video. But there is a workaround with a smart script that works well. I need to try it. That s all I can think now !
