Hi, just one further queation, on my OPO, i could nevr get SFTP to work in the file manager, to connect to my servers so I can offload photos etc..

SSH in the terminal worked well, but the file manager just couldnt do it, no matter what I tried.

Does anyone have any experience with the OP5 and recent OS version with the file manager using SFTP to access remote servers?

Thanks, Scitt

Thank you guys, so over all it seems like a potential win for daily use then.

Thank you!

@Moem thank you for that.

Have you experience of the email client too?

Cheers, Scott.

Hi all,

I'm looking at replacing my UT Oneplus One with a Oneplus 5T.

I like the OPO, but as support steadily ceases for apps compatible with the UT OS at a compatible version for the OPO, I now need something newer that will work better.

So before I spend on a handset, can someone please give me a reliability / useability opinion on the following apps and features on the Oneplus 5T running UT:

• Axolotl signal client.
• Telegram client.
• Wire client (there was a webapp on the OPO).
• Email client.
• Calendar client (reliability of synching to / from CALdav server).
• File explorer with server/NAS remote SSH access.
• Terminal, if i switch from terminal to web browser, does the keyboard always come back on screen? (bug on the OPO).
• Bluetooth for headsets, and for music.
• 3.5mm jack microphone (this never worked on the OPO).
• VPN, will this re-connect automatically?

Many thanks, Scott

@TheVancedGamer Thank you for the note, I think we all can appreciate how difficult it is to fit voluntary work (of any kind) around work and family life, so I take my hat off to all the developers who have contributed to this great project! Thank you.

I see there are other handsets that get more attention and have progressed further, but these sets sit a little outside of my budget! I will watch for developments with the OPO...

Cheers, Scott

Hi @Keneda , that's exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

So according to the list, it appears that the main present unknowns are cellular calls, text messages and camera.

I will keep an eye on that page to see if/when anything changes.

Many thanks again, Scott.

Hi all,

Is there an up to date list anywhere for the Oneplus One with Focal 20.04 showing what works and what doesn't yet? I keep on searching online and coming up with the old 16 Bacon list, but can't find an up to date 20.04 Focal one.

I'm a regular user, not a developer, so am looking for a simple list detailing: telephone, contacts, text, Wi-Fi, camera, flash, USB, Bluetooth etc... Also apps such as web browser, email client, Axolotl signal client etc..

Basically as this is my main phone I don't want to commit to the upgrade until I know I can use it fully, or at least mostly as my daily phone - as to be fair the old 16 Bacon is dying slowly, certain apps are no longer supported. So I'm just weighing up sticking around on 16 VS going to 20 based on which ticks the most boxes!

Cheers, Scott

@Keneda
Thanks, yes, that's where I am with it, I can install it, but no way to register/use it currently.

Great to hear that some work is happening to resolve the issues!
Thanks, Scott.

Hi all,

Does anyone know if Axolotl will be returning to Ubuntu Touch any time?

I really miss using Signal, as my friends and family use it, and I use a UT phone that hasn't been able to run Axolotl for a couple of years now.

Cheers, Scott

That's got it recovered, thanks guys!

@MrT10001

Thanks both (found the wipe option)

So I need to know now, which release is the least buggy option to go for? Maybe back to 16.04 stable?

The recent update to OTA-25 caused me bother with turning my OPO on, as many people have had...

Following the guidance here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8882/ota-25-v2/11
I went to the settings/updates menu, and tried updating my OnePlus One to OTA-25RC, not really knowing what I was doing, but it downloaded ok, and I began the install.

This didn't install completely, the screen got stuck and I had to power & VOL - to get the recovery menu back. Now when telling it to restart, it just sits at the "powered by ubuntu" startup screen.

It stayed like this all night.

I think I will have to connect it to my PC by USB and do a full re-install of UT, as I can't get any further than the welcome screen.

Before I do this; Is there a way I can access the storage to recover any of my files before I wipe it and start again?

Cheers, Scott

@Lakotaubp said in Latest OS update killed my phone!!:

@scottbouch Volume up and power buttons =Fastboot
Volume down and power buttons=Recovery

If you go for the installer option DO NOT tick the wipe option if there is anything on the phone you want to keep. Bootstrap should be OK.

Thank you for the guidance! Vol down and power helped!

Thanks guys.. That post seems to be from about 2 yeas ago, so I won't hold my breath.. I think if this idea is to work, I will need to use a de-googled Android phone instead.

Thanks, Scott

So, suddenly as if by magic, I have no email app!

Dekko has disappeared (I think it was Dekko 2), I have found Dekko in the UT app store and tried to re-install but the install fails.

Anyone else having this issue? Any way to have access to an email client again?

(Oneplus One, UT OTA 25)

Cheers, Scott

Update: After the phone powering off yesterday, I've had no luck in bringing up the boot menu (its been connected to the charger all day, but with no LED I can't tell you the charge status).

Been poking at random button combinations, one such combination has brought up on the screen a little alien face and the words "Fastboot Mode".... it's been stuck like this for hours now...

I can't reset it by the power/volume button combinations, still the little fastboot alien sits there looking at me, not booting very fast, if at all.

I think I now my only option is to let the battery run down in order to try and bring back the boot menu to turn my phone on again.

Any other ideas are appreciated. Thanks....

...anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thank you @stanwood!

Yes since writing, I had noticed some other devices also suffering similar issues.

I have returned my sim card to my UT Oneplus One, but aiming to keep it charged up to save getting locked out again.

Thanks for the support, Scott.

Hi all,

Does UT support headphone remote media control buttons? if so, on which handsets?

These work by applying different resistances across the phantom powered mic+ and ground wires when headphone buttons are pressed; a circuit in the handset detects the resultant changes in terminal voltage and applies the commands for play/pause, vol+ and vol-.

This topic is fully explained here: https://source.android.com/docs/core/interaction/accessories/headset/plug-headset-spec

On an old Samsung Android handset I have, this works really well, with headphones with 3 buttons. However, when tried on my UT Oneplus One, the buttons have no effect on the phone.

Is it that the Oneplus One handset simply does not support this functionality, or is it a UT incompatibility across all handsets?

I am putting together some robust headphones for mounting in my ski helmet for next ski season, and wanted to build a chest-mounted control box with chunky buttons (ski glove friendly, inspired by spacesuit controls) for controlling my phone in my coat pocket... ie: pause the music quickly and easily when talking to other people without fiddling around with gloves and touchscreens. Also handy for taking calls too.

Thanks, Scott.

Update:

I managed to get the recovery menu back by persisting with button combinations, told it to reboot, and now have my phone back.

I checked, and, yes its OTA-25 that caused this issue.

When powered off, no LED or vibration regarding charging, and no ability to simply turn it on without accessing the recovery menu.

Cheers, Scott.
