RE: While VoLTE is a worry, video calling working is actually a BIG DEAL
@totalrando Google Voice works on my P2XL.
We are working on a sip solution to stand in for VoLTE. We've had some good progress this week.

RE: USA carrier
Verizon VoLTE will work (ONLY) with the Pinephone/pro
For everything else, as others have said, until VoLTE gets worked out T-mobile and associated MVNOs are best. I've used Mint, Red Pocket, US Mobile. All worked fine.

RE: PinePhone
@Andrisk Sounds like it got stuck on the update. Try this https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10130

RE: Replacement Batteries
For Nexus 5 PolarCell.
I've put a lot of work into it, and other than doing the Nexus 5X battery mod, no battery works better.

RE: Cricket Wireless
@raydantheman Cricket, as it's parent AT&T, is pushing their whitelist of devices they will allow on their network. OnePlus 6(T) and Oneplus 7(T) are both capable of using the 4G VoLTE network post 3G shutdown this coming January.
So, your answer is to use a device agnostic MVNO such as Red Pocket, US Mobile, Straight Talk, H2O, etc. In the event that UT VoLTE functionality does not get worked out by that date, you have two options:
-
Use a regional carrier. They mostly are not upgrading to VoLTE only.
-
Voip/SIP. By using a voip provider, any device capable of 4G Data can continue to make phone calls despite the lack of VoLTE capability. You just need to be able to access the LTE data network.

RE: Nexus 5 vs Nexus 5x
@jjconstr The Nexus 5 is a great phone, soon to be better with a halium upgrade. The main complaint about it is finding a good replacement battery. I've tried a couple and found the best battery is from a German company - PolarCell Battery for LG Google Nexus 5 D821 D820 BL-T9 EAC62078701 2450mAh. It is available on eBay if you are not in the EU.
It's a good quality after market - which means new, not old stock sitting on a shelf for half a decade, nor is it a cheap knock off rebranded. I've had it for a year now and still holds a full charge just like it used to when I bought the phone from Google.

RE: Oneplus 6 bricked on fastboot mode
You need the MSMdownload Tool from xda-developers forum. It will unbrick your device.
It's a windows only tool. In the forums here, there is a linux equivalent. Search op6 sub-category

RE: UBports UT Pinephone and Sim Cards
@Frayedknot If your device is a P3a, several of us have noticed this. It's something to do with UT, not the carrier. I haven't had time to troubleshoot it, so haven't filed a bug report for it yet.

RE: Any chance for Focal?
@Timespansoul I loaned them out to a group that wanted to show UT at the local makerfaire. If I get them back, I'll let you know. But, I expect them not to.

RE: If I buy a google phone and then install Ubuntu Touch on it, does it fully remove the google OS?
@muellw Only the driver layer that allows the hardware to function remains. If even that bothers you, there is always the Pinephone either with Ubuntu Touch, or PostmarketOS, or Mobian
Or other mainlined phones supported by PostmarketOS, Mobian, Kupfer, or Lune

RE: Status of VoLTE (Voice over LTE 4G) implementation?
@Tommy The 4G data network is not going away anytime soon. Even Verizon is allowing any device that is a Pixel 2 or later on their network. I just gave away a P2XL that I was using as a data device on Verizon with Sip for calls. So, you should be able to continue using them after the final T-mobile 2g cut-off (which had been postponed).
There is ongoing work to get VoLTE going, and Sip is available now with the experimental linphone app and the google voice web app. You should join the NA Issues UT group on Telegram. We can help you better there.

RE: Booting device after powering off
@Jutleys The unlocked bootloader message is normal.
The delay in turning off, re-booting is a bug of the OP6/T port. Could go into EDL or crashdump mode as well. The port is in need of some work.

RE: OnePlus 6T can't be detected in fastboot.
Also, if you are using windows, the phone's driver must be installed once when the phone is on, and again when the phone is in fastboot mode.
