Here is a list I typed of of Issues i have seen, things i want and think could help, and apps that would make my life easier.

Issues Pixel 3a and probably others

• Always based on the most recent LTS
• Speaker phone stops using speaker in call when I click on it.IfI click speaker forever it shall be.
• Xfinity Mobile Does not work
• MMS Does not work on Mint Mobile
• Anything using Location services take forever, maps become pointless.
• Battery can drain in a few hours or a few days
• Apps on the pixel 3a can not use the gyroscope.
• Ajust brightness automatically does not work
• Audio quality in calls
• ui freezes often at login
• 5G wifi networks to show up on wifi selection in settings
• Compatibility with other linux debian distros, so apps can be relivent on all devices like flatpaks or snaps.
  Apps
• ISOdrive to support imgs and custom folder selection
• An app like ISO drive that is a script keyboard & use my onscreen keyboard and mouse to type on the computer. Support ducky scripts.
• A level app that supports the pixel 3a
• Vugerly to support cutting video and audio to make mp3 and ogg
• An app that is a firewall, GUI
• Spam blocker for calls kinda like hiya
  Comunity
• A way to pay development and support the comunity. A bug bounty- This should be an app that works acrossed almost all linux phones.
• Documentaion is everywhere, not centralized, I think we should have a place where you can get all the documentation, including known working APN settings.

Sorry for formatting, typed this up on the pixel 3a and pasted here.

Let me know what ideas you have, what are your dreams and unicorns?

@unisuperbox Thank you for a change log.

@unrealb2. Pixel 3a Non XL, No luck with Xfinity Mobile, even when in to store and created a line just for that phone, double checked whitelist and set with a rep for 1 hr. Painful haha
Rep stated that all pixel 3a work on their network... I guess they never have tried Ubuntu Touch. HAHA They didn't care that it had ubuntu on it, witch was nice, but again no luck.

I went and Purchased A MintMobile SIM. Works flawlessly after a horrible set up process using another android phone and their app.

Thinking of trying other carriers.

@damiam Confirmed Pixel 3a please open up bug report on github

@galestrike This week i have to get a sim card for tmobile, next month i will try cricket wireless.

I have seen in several threads and on the Q&A that some people has looked in to bug bounty programs. I wanted to start a thread to get the community talking about it, and search for a solution. What challenges do we face with taxe's? What is a way we can pay for bugs to be fixed buy people out side the community, maybe it can bring people to the community. What programs are easy to use? What features do we need and are looking for?

I had a simple Idea for a bug bounty program and that is to use a crowed funding campaign for the bug, when the bug is fixed. 75% would go to the team/individual who fixed the bug/application request, 15% would go to the UT team to help support the project and time spent maintaining. the rest for the platform fees and misc.

This would allow the community to decided how much a bug is worth, the only issue I see is if their are multiple teams working on the same project, their would be fierce competition to get your fix in first. Then if there is a tie, who wins the better secure code? This could lead to infighting... We would need a way to delegate bugs.

I put this is support, because I want the community support finding a solution and support to ad hock bug bounty at the moment.

@povoq
From a user perspective the answer is no. I can not send/recive mms, so my work would suffer. If i was ever in an emergency situation I would not trusth the call clarity. My life could suffer. Around 5% battery phone randomly restarts. There is not a good set of app selection for my use case. I can not trust it but maybe one day. Im learning, think Im going to learn to code to create my first app.
I would say people have put in hundreds of long hours to gwt her, but we still have a ways to go.

I want to create my first app. I have never coded before. I noticed all apps are coded in qml. As i understanded qml is a part of qt.

This app will provide apn info to users based on known working APNs that have been found to work.

Would this be a first good app to learn how to code?

App core concepts
List Known working APN settings, Give basic lessons on what an APN is, and allow user submission of know good configerations.

I was wondering If i could some how push APN settings from the App directly to the phone?

Forinstance a user is on att and MMS isnt working they would download the app from the open store click on AT&T then click: Use APN anr the phone propts to reboot with the known apn settings.

Is this to much to take on for a first time codijt project?

Can I do this just with qml?

Is this even helpful for novice/ new users?

@haimeh Thank you. Glad to help and be part of the community .:cat_face_with_wry_smile:
Please spread the word for ATT we have found a way for stable LTE and upvote

@povoq The point of this tread is to give input on what you think we should do better, your dreams and wishes. Your unicorn the one off thing that would make using UT magical. Do you have any valid input? What changes do you want to see?
Do you want facebook messenger built in to the os like most android phones?

@matteo If you need anything let me know, I dont have much money, but i have free time and I am an IT tech. I repair laptops and desktops.Wifi cards i do replace.

@unrealb2 Hardware in my opinion is much better, I had a nexus 5, I think its the fact of the faster ram that helps a lot, your cpu is only as good as the rest of the hardware. Try loading a game with a ryzen 3600 with an old 4800RPM IDE HDD... Your CPU would be pointless. Another thing to note is the Pixel 3a has no video out. But please test, and help make it stronger. I do not code just test stupid things and send bug reports and give bad opinions:grinning_cat_face: .

@keneda A agree this can be very Important. I use youtube at work everyday. No better way to find a teardown of a laptop that needs a new motherboard or jack replaced. I wish i could code our problems away, but i do not code. The pixel 3a i think has hardware encoding, youtube works quite well, with out buffering, or skipping frames I might be wrong tho.

Replacing your wifi card and giving it a good dust off may be a good ideah.

Found this tear down:

Wifi card repacement
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-Wireless-Half-Height-K2GW5/dp/B01GOHNBLC

This should only take 10 min.
Ground yourself- touch a door knob.
Take out screws for back cover
Locate wifi card and disconnect wifi antennas
Unscrew card and slide up and then out
Then fallow this backwards to install.

I would check that your card did not go out due to a change in kernel, this has happened to me, my card worked fine, but linux did not play well.

If you plan on getting a usb wifi card, just know you may have to return a couple until you find one that works out of the box with linux.

@hentaixp Also can confirm.

@crab_aesthetics When it gets to fastboot this is where i had my issus. I used windows 10.

@crab_aesthetics Did you install adb drivers when in fast boot?

@crab_aesthetics Okay This is the same issue I had with xfinity Mobile. U.S. Cellular is a CDMA network carrier just like xfinity which I can not get to work. It only worked for a bit when I did a full reset of the phone, and only for a few calls. @lduboeuf
