I have a Volla X23 with Ubuntu touch and would like to install the Volla OS operating system. Because I'm just used to Andriod. I found instructions on how to install Ubuntu touch, but nothing the other way around, from UT to OS. UBports is already on my Windows computer. Developer mode is also on. but for me, who never has done an installation at a phone, its difficult to understand how it works. To me it seems like the whole thing doesn't run quite smoothly with the UBPorts software, because even after installing the OS (where did the installation go?) it says "Fastboot is scanning for devices". Can anyone help me around here?

@AppLee Thank you to yourself and @arubislander for replying. I took another look the next morning and I can see it does what you say, making no attempt to connect wirelessly. I think there were a lot of variables to consider the previous evening and I gained the impression it was trying to use the poor outbound wireless connection. I'm more sure now the mobile signal was also very poor and intermittent (it was a sea-front camp site). So I think the phone (Volla X23) did the best it could.

@treebeard uNav, album, alarm clock,and utlnwallet (for Bitcoin) added above. That's all folks. None of the other apps I have installed seem to have a url dispatcher command configured. I had a look through the url dispatcher source code very briefly and it seems to support both these mechanisms: <command>:// (two slashes) <appid>:/// (three slashes) so more apps may be dispatchable, but that's as much as I know.

@MrT10001 I found the settings didn't work for me with up to date samsung phone. However changing the following to Apn type : default,supl,mms Having done that all working fine for me

@StephPTi Thanks, that looks just what I need, ill try it out today.

@tera That set of commands worked thanks. It took a few attempts as I forgot that rebooting would end the tmp mount. The time is now visible. The icons around the notch still overlap but it's a step further to have the time visible. Thank you

@treebeard thanks @Kjetil

@Bocephus said in Volla Phone X23 about to ship: It's obvious English isn't your first language Maybe english is not my first langage, but i understand it enough to know calling "dumb" what someone says is offensive, and that this person can take it personally as an insult (in fact, in any langage...). I also understand it enough to recognise irony, and irony is not dumb, it's just irony, involving marmelade in present way... On this forum, code of conduct allows irony, not calling dumb people or what they say.

I have a pixel 2 xl so your mileage may vary, but it took me 3 times to get Waydroid to install. I used Waydroid helper, but the installation is extremely touchy. You have to keep your screen unlocked and you cannot touch anything or even have the screen rotate during the install or it will stall. I don't recall the snippet I read that gave me the clue to do that, but once I was able to get that down and not touch the phone at all, I was able to successfully install waydroid. I just did it yesterday.

@kugiigi Thanks. I've investigated a bit further. I'm using a Qi charger not an NFC charger (although NFC charging technology does exist apparently) so the NFC being enabled or disabled wasn't affecting the wireless charging of the Volla phone at all. It looks like it was just a coincidence that charging by USB started working after I switched off NFC andd rebooted Ive tried out a few combinations of things and everything is working correctly. I'm going to put the USB charging problem down to the battery being down to 4%. I've seen another comment about the Volla phone acting strangely at times below 10% charge. Possibly switching off NFC reduced the load on the low battery enough to get USB charging working again. Or it was all just a glitch. Worth raising the issue though in case a pattern starts to emerge with other Volla users.

@treebeard Thanks for that very useful info.The import in to the UK issue is I admit very confusing, new to most and I'm sure many are not ready for import duty etc. Including many SMO's inside and outside of Europe. Lets see if things get clearer in a few months time. I quite like the look of the X but every parcel that arrives here gets the -is that another/how many phones do you need- look from everyone
