I'm not exactly sure how this all works but today my iPhone that I use for calls stopped working and I'm left without a phone. I can borrow an old one from a friend to use for calls for the time being but I'd like to be able to just use my Ubuntu Touch phone for everything. I would like to propose a $100 USD bounty for any developer who can get calls and text working for the Pixel 3a. I would be extremely greatful for a development like that and it would also help out everyone else in the US who wants to try out Ubuntu Touch on a solid, affordable, and accessible phone. I love everything the UBports devs are doing but I also just need a working phone too. If this is against the rules or something I fully understand. I'm willing to help out in any way I can with debugging and testing to get this working. Thank you!

PS: If this breaks any rules I understand and will take this post down. I am on Verizon Wireless and it is the only service besides Union that has coverage in my area. Also, my GSM/CDMA is locked to Verizon unfortunately.

Apparently if I change my language from English (US) to English (UK) it changes the time format. This works but is very hacky and will mess with spelling suggestions. I understand some regions (like the US) have time standards. However, the 24hr clock is still quite popular here and should be configurable in the system settings.

Hello. I am using Ubuntu Touch OTA 24 with the latest Waydroid (installed today). It works decently on my Google Pixel 3a, outside of the home, back, app switcher buttons being out of reach. I primarily installed it to use Signal, along with possibly other social media apps. However, I noticed that user files such as Downloads, Pictures, Videos, etc. do not sync between Ubuntu Touch and Waydroid. I found a Waydroid FAQ article addressing this issue, but it does not work. If I run # ls -a ~/.local/share/waydroid/data/media/0/Pictures, in UT Terminal, for instance, I can see that the files are mounted there. However, Waydroid's file manager cannot see any of these files. Is anyone familiar enough with UT and/or Waydroid to help me sync/symlink or mount folders from my UT host so that Waydroid can see them? I'd love to be able to share a Downloads folder and a Photo gallery. Any help is appreciated!

Hey I really love UT so far. I am on a Pixel 3a and notoced I can't connect it to a monitor with my USB to HDMI cable. I think its kinda a missed opportunity because with somethng like an x86 emulator, Ubuntu Touch could be a really big competitor to mini PCs and ARM SoC devices like the Pi 4.
