Hello all,

I have installed Tailscale on my Pixel 3a XL running Ubuntu Touch through snap. However, whenever I want to start the VPN, I have to enter a long command to start it and stop it. To get around this, I tried to create a shortcut in the app launcher that, upon being opened, will run the necessary command to start Tailscale. So far, I have been unsuccessful. I already tried making a .desktop file that will run the script. When opening the app from the launcher and checking the status of Tailscale in the terminal, I see that Tailscale has not started. Does anybody have any ideas to how I can get this working?

From what I know, T-Mobile was supposed to shut down their 2G servers on April 2nd. However, I still have 2G functionality (calling). The only conclusion I can come to is that the tower I am on still has 2G servers, or there is some unknown reason why I still have 2G accessibility. Is this the case for anybody else?

I have a few questions:

Are there plans to add support for group chats (how they would work on Android/iPhone; right now on UT, it is just so you can mass send a message to multiple people) to the message app?

Are there plans to add the ability to edit network settings of a saved wifi network (there are no settings to edit from within the settings app)?

Are there plans to add support for passkeys?

@UBportsNews Are there plans to add a feature to block people by number on messages and calls?

I have two AP's, both on the same network (TP-LINK decos, mesh), with the same SSID and password. However, when I am out of range of one, it tries to connect me to the other one, resulting in me having to re-enter the password. Is there a way to add the second AP by mac address so that it can automatically switch to that without me having to re-enter the password?

@E2024 You will not be able to find it by searching the snap store. You will have to install it from commandline. I am working on a version that may be able to be searched from the snap store right now though. To install from command line, run:
sudo snap install tailscale-snap2 --devmode

Also note that you will have to use sudo when invoking the command "tailscale-snap2".

@arubislander Hello,

I have created a snap called tailscale-snap2, which has the latest version of tailscale. Right now, it can only be installed with --devmode (i may be wrong, i havent installed in a while) and the command "tailscale-snap2" has to be used to interact with the tailscale CLI.

@Keneda I have thoroughly read the article. So, to confirm, triggering the rollback protection would only happen if I downgrade from a newer version of Android (android 12 or 13) to android 11 and then proceed to lock the bootloader? For reverting to the factory image that was present on the phone when I obtained it, how would I check what version of Android was installed from the factory on it (checking the Android version in settings won't work if updates have been applied)? Once I do figure out what version of Android was installed from the factory (indexed in the rollback protection as well), I would be able to flash that version (using fastboot), and then lock the bootloader again?

@Mario-CH I have read through the "Install Fairphone OS manually", the unlocking bootloader article that goes along with it, and a bit of the "Factory Reset with installation of Fairphone OS after using LeOS" article. I understand that I can use Fastboot to reflash the Fairphone 4 stock image, but I am unsure what Android version I would need to flash (considering that UT may have an older security patch level than Android 13, and that if I flash the wrong version, roll-back protection could result in my Fairphone 4 becoming bricked).

Hello,

I would like to know how I would revert back to the stock Fairphone 4 image, and what image i would revert to (Android version).

@steveoeng1 Hello,

Currently, since there is no VoLTE support yet, calls cannot be received while on 4G. Calls can only be received on 2G. Why you are seeing a delay when calling out is that you may be on 4G. When on 4G and attempting to make a call, it appears that the phone is switching from 4G to 2G manually. I also have a Pixel 3a XL, and it appears that these issues will continue until VoLTE support is added to UT on the Pixel 3a XL. Though, I am pretty sure VoLTE support for more devices is coming very soon

@stanwood Is it also okay to obtain a Fairphone 4 from Ebay? Specifically, this listing.

@stanwood Thanks!

@arubislander Yes.

Hello,

Seeing that the Fairphone 4 has many more features that I would like to have available than what I currently have (Pixel 3a XL), I am considering buying a Fairphone 4 for UT. Since I am in the U.S., I can't buy it from the official store. I searched for other places I could buy it from, and I am still unsure of where I can buy a Fairphone 4 that I can install UT on. Does anybody have any suggestions?
