..... WTF, it wasnt there but now it is!!
Luckily I took a screenshot of when it wasnt there.
How do I share images on the forum?

I just received some NFC tags to play around with today ...
but now I cant find the NFC toggle on the phone.
I remember using it on the 24.04 stable but after upgrading to RC3, I cant find it.

Hello
So I dont have another phone with display out so I cant test that unfortunately.
I do agree that the hub seems to be what determines what issues I have.

I dont have major issues using any hubs with my asus laptop to charge and display out and the laptop draws more power than the phone.

What hub do you use?

I have been using UB as an adhoc laptop replacement and I have been impressed by how much I can get done with my FP5.

There are some sticking points though and this is one of them.
My phone has issues drawing power when connected to an usb hub and staying connected to the external display.

I had this issue in various forms over the past few months and it is very disrupting for work. Either I need to use the phone until the battery dies, then unplug the phone from the monitors to charge it or (on the occasions where it does charge while connected), I get disconnected while I am working.
Is there anything that can be done to correct this?

For example;
With a wavlink usb hub, I can charge while connected (sometimes) but if I remove the PD cable the monitor disconnects and my session closes.
With a ugreen usb hub, I get no connections if there is power or no power if I plug in PD after connecting to the monitor.
With my dual monitor setup at work, I seem to have no issues but I use this far less frequently. This has my phone connected to a Dell monitor via usb-c and draws power from the monitor.

@pparent
Much appreciated! I think these will be super useful.

@Lakotaubp
Yeah, I think we should add a category for the strangest bug found.

@CiberSheep

Thanks for adding the text. It was on my todo list. I had not got around to it yet.

I would like to add a write up on the community favourite awards to the website. Where is the correct place to put such a page and what is the correct process for adding the page? Should this be done via gitlab? Should I just share it here?

The results are in from the voting!

Prizes

Any one who wants to contribute to the prizes or make them more interesting is very very welcome to let us know what they have in mind.

@Lakotaubp
Nevermind, I will just ask people to send their votes in a private message to me and Ill add it up manually.

Alternatively, Could I set up the voting somewhere else and ask someone with admin rights on the platform to add the email for everyone on the forum to the voting platform?
This way everyone can get an email to vote?

I am looking at how to organise the voting for the Community Favourite Awards.
The easiest is to have people vote openly on the forum (ie I post the nominees as comments and people can up vote the nominee/comment they vote for).
But this is not anonymous nor does it restrict it to one vote per person.

Does the forum platform have a 'survey' or poll function?

I would like to ask that you do a quick announcement for the 'Community Awards'.
Things have developed quite well with a lot of input from other community members.
This year we will have only two categories:

• Community favourite app
• Community favourite developer

The prize for each category:

• a large pizza (details TBD).
• a webpage mentioning your award and why your won (details TBD).

Nominations are open until the evening of 1 Dec. Each forum member can nominate two nominees for each category (here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/11623/call-for-nominations-for-the-ubports-community-awards?_=1764437371137 )

@stanwood
Everyone does deserve recognition for all their efforts!

It is a bit unclear which of the many people you mentioned would be your nominations? To keep things fair and manageable I think it is best to keep it to two nominations per person. So you should select two people for me to include in the list.

@johndoe
Yes, nominations. Voting happens later.

@idonthatevests
Of course it would be great to give awards to everyone but thats not feasible ... so lets give to someone. There is always next year too.

My nominations.

Community favourite app:

• Sapot
  Sapot has become my go-to browser for everything. It does not feel like a compromise and the gesture controls are both creative and intuitive.

• Keeweb
  It works. That is already fantastic. It works very well and has given me no problems at all for the months that I have used it. Password managers are an essential tool for UT and this app made my life a tonne easier.

Community favourite developer

• Kugi Eusebio
  I use several of Kugi's apps. They have a coherent feel to them which is really nice to see and they have made my UT experience functional.

• TBA
