@rocket2nfinity Ok. That is good. If the VoLTE issue is resolved in a matter of months, I can wait. I am exploring using a dumb phone right now anyways.

What I gather from this is that I probably should move back over to android until something changes.

@keneda Dang. That isn't good either.

@messayisto oof. that doesn't inspire much confidence. I guess I just have to look at getting a pinephone pro if I want a usable non-android linux phone.

@applee lol. I understand. I'm a little slow when it comes to tech stuff. Honestly got into tech in the past couple years and I'm trying to do as much open source as I can now.

Data working over 4g is good. I actually wanted to start using multiple phone VoIP phone numbers anyways for privacy & security reasons (just want to see if I can do it). This gives me a reason to explore doing this.

Is there any way I can help assist with expanding the VoLTE feature too?

@applee ok. So there is zero 4g support - at least in America - in Ubuntu Touch at this time. Ok, this clarifies things.

I also don't see any information so far on working to get support for that either.

@ian I saw that comment, but it seemed like some people were having success with different carriers.

I'm not sure what he knows about the bug or if this is a bug that can be resolved. Im not sure what it means that "all IMS stuff has been shut off" either.

Just from looking around through the posts for the Pixel 3a Device, there seems to be issues with sending/receiving SMS/MMS on American/Canadian carriers.

Has anyone in these areas had success with getting the phone to function normally in these areas? If so, what carrier/network and what apn settings were used?

@rocket2nfinity Ok. Do you know anything about the bug on the pixel 3a? Does this mean I also can't use a service that uses the Verizon network too (like Ting)?

Are there any updates for this issue? If I switch to a carrier that uses Verizon's network will it be an issue too?

Has there been any update on this? I do not see the KDE connect software in the OpenStore

@arubislander Ok. I'll keep an eye on that. It's not a feature I need right at the moment, but it's there when I need it in the future. Thank you for your help!

@lakotaubp Yes, this is what I'm looking for. It serves as what should be a fairly standard parental control feature and it is good for others who want to avoid certain temptations. I have already opened up an issue on the OpenStore gitlab page and I will see if they will add that feature.

@arubislander Thank you!

@arubislander Can I install apps that you can find in the OpenStore through the command line instead? If so, will they update?

@domubpkm That is true. it is still possible to download something from the browser and install it. Granted, I could just remove the web browser software or find some other way to restrict the use of the browser.

I just want these options because they help me regulate my digital self control.

@arubislander Thank you! Will do.

@arubislander Thank you. Is there any way to restrict app installation with a password on OpenStore?

@domubpkm Thank you!

I have a Google Pixel 3a and I am considering installing ubports on it, but before I do I have a series of questions.

1. Is it possible to set up a root password that is separate from the pass code for entry? I would like to have a different password be required to install apps than the general entry pass code. Also, would this secondary password also work to restrict app installations in a similar way if i use waydroid?

2. Is there a way to view what apps are available in the app store? I honestly do not need many apps, but I would like to see what is available before moving over.
