    • RE: Oneplus Nord N10 5G (T-Mobile) MSM Difficulty

      @Ida_ Thank you for pointing me to the thread regarding VoLTE success stories. Unfortunately, my carrier is AT&T, which apparently is stricter in what it allows than some other carriers. For example, the only U.S. success I see in that thread is using a Xiaomi phone, which is not in AT&T's compatible phones list.

      I appreciate your further search suggestion too. Maybe that will lead me to an appreciable solution in the future, though for now I assume the Ubuntu Touch "Supported Devices" list includes all that are really prepared up to the stable standard I need.

      Hi @wally , thanks for your welcome.

      That is right, that is my locality. Hmm, the picture darkens for my chance of using the device (and, really, Ubuntu Touch in general) then. I had already made peace with the fact that the "5G" in the device's name would not be reflected in its performance. But, I assumed with the phone on AT&T's supported devices list, it would use either 4G (though from what you're saying it sounds like LTE is the only version of 4G available here) or I didn't even think about 3G. I guess that their list was just if you stick with iOS or Android.

      This particularly complicates my decision, not because of needing to use this particular phone (luckily, I only sunk $100 in buying this used model), but because I'm not aware of any other options that meet my needs here in the U.S. anymore. The only other phone I noticed on both the Ubuntu Touch-supported list and the AT&T-supported list that was even a mid-range model was the Pixel 3a. All phones made to explicitly work with Ubuntu Touch seemed to be only available in Europe (where I understand there are more people up for a pro-privacy tech mission).

      I appreciate your input on call (lack of) possibility, so I don't waste my time on a futile task. I also appreciate your suggestions for how to work with the MSM issue I've had, though I don't think I'll try again if I can't actually use the phone as a phone.

      I guess my next plan is to look into the feasibility of GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, etc. However, this was definitely my less-preferred plan, as I think it's naive to think that de-Googling a Google OS is fully fighting the behemoth; if you're using Android of any form, as far as I can tell you're buying into an open-source OS that really is there to serve the tyrant, and which they can have (and seem to be gradually doing) a tightened, more-closed process.

      Therefore, if you @wally or anyone else knows of a way I can get Ubuntu Touch on a call-able phone in the U.S., I would appreciate your suggestions (I was looking to at least have a mid-range few generations old phone, but at this point I'd consider lower than that). Otherwise, I just want to say I support what you're doing, and hope the Ubuntu Touch mission can continue to expand and grow across the world in the future.

      Hello all; thank you for everything you do for worthy fighting-Big Tech cause.

      So, I am trying to install Ubuntu Touch on a OnePlus Nord N10 5G I bought. I am stuck at the MSM Download Tool step. However, this forum's Akismet keeps flagging my full post as spam. Therefore, I link to it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iv68VnArROE4XOlmndnq7vfon7fJv8Na/view?usp=sharing

      Please help me if you can. Thank you in advance for your time.
