Does LTE work on Nexus 7, so that I can use the tablet like a smartphone?

@dobey FritzBox! has this feature as a part of the system. This is one of the features, that make the FritzBox popular.

@pulsar33 Yes, you are basicly right. This kind of "childlock" is a foolproof. It will block everything that costs extra money

@james-t use the Installer https://ubuntu-touch.io/de_DE/get-ut . I used the debian-Package for Linux-Mint. it will install 15.04 on Nexus.

Then make an update to 16.04

it properly worked.

My wife calls her mother 8 times a week. This is a call from Germany to Tschechia.
If you touch "Mobil" you pay a price per minute.
If you touch "WhatsApp" your call is for free!

My beloved wife knows this very well, but sometimes she uses the wrong button. 10 times use the wrong button is about 100 Euro.

• My provider definitely will not block calls abroad.
• For Android there are some Outgoing Call Blockers. I tested them all. - None of them worked.

IF Ubuntu would have a feature blocking all outgoing calls abroad as a part of the system, it would be a mighty tool with an unique selling point.

@lakotaubp I thing about blocking large ranges of numbers. p.e. starting with + or 00 or 0190.

@lakotaubp My provider is telekom.de, the most known provider in Germany. They do not want to have a childlock for outgoing phone-calls.
I dont know the situation in USA. Please make a test and ask your provider. I'm interestet to know.

please google android outgoing call blocker

Does anybody know a reader for e-mails yahoo?

@lakotaubp Is it an idea for the next update?

How to block phone calls to Porno-Sex-Numbers? Here in Germany starting with 0190... . Also calls to numbers abroad. This are the Numbers starting with +0 or 00. This is part of childlock. (My Handy-Provider does not have a childlock like this.)

@lakotaubp I made an update from 15.04 to 16.04
It's more quick and stable.

@lakotaubp I played a bit with Ubuntu-Touch. Everything works fine. Now I'm outside the windows and google-world, but have all I realy need. Thanks Thanks Thanks verry verry much , I love Linux.

@lakotaubp it works !!

@lakotaubp okay, I installed this 3 programs,
I installed ubports-installer_0.1.12-beta_amd64.deb on Linux Mint.
But cant get no connection to the Nexus5 anymore.

So I think, I'm wasting my time. The Nexus5 is for recycling.

@lakotaubp The Nexus5 does not have a working Android. It just shows "Google" on the screen. No other funktion any more.

@lakotaubp Yes, the device was detected and the installation started. After a while, maybe 50% of installation there was an error-message: "Device not found, try again".

Just have UBports Installer.
