@Moem I tried looking into it - do you know buying a username gives me access to a Telegram account or if it only gives me that username for use on an existing account? A lot of tutorials seem to state that one of the +888 phone numbers should be purchased for signing up but those are all quite outwith my budget.

Is there any way I can join Telegram without an iOS or Android device?

A command I've found which changes the authentication method from the command line is:

/usr/share/ofono/scripts/set-context-property 1 AuthenticationMethod pap

The number may vary depending on which order the APNs are displayed in /usr/share/ofono/scripts/list-contexts. I found this on https://docs.droidian.org/info/apn/

@DPITTI Which file do I need to edit with Seabass2? I've been looking around the phone for 'ofono', 'nuntium' along with NetworkManager's system connections directory but no reference to any of the APN settings show up.

@DPITTI I have attempted this but I can't get the Authentication option to show within the APN entry edit screen. I can find it in the source code but not on the user interface, whether by editing existing APN entries or creating new ones. The issue I am experiencing applies to the 'Internet', 'MMS', 'Internet and MMS', and 'LTE' entry types.

I did look for other instances of showAllUI in the source code but they appear to be compiler switches.

Hello all,

I recently had to switch phone networks due to the impending 3G switch-off where I am. Unfortunately, I now can't send or receive MMS messages and, through testing my SIM card on multiple devices, I've found that I need to change the authentication option from 'None' to 'PAP' for MMS to work. I don't know why my network claims that having the authentication off is sufficient, it is not for me. https://help.voxi.co.uk/Joining-and-Set-up/Set-up-Data/1381340962/What-APN-settings-do-I-need-to-use-data.htm

Looking through the Ubuntu Touch source code for this functionality and how it might be enabled, I found an Authentication option in one of the settings modules at https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/lomiri-system-settings-cellular/-/blob/main/plugins/cellular/PageApnEditor.qml?ref_type=heads#L362 but I don't know how to make showAllUI true so that I can change the setting as required. Is there a way to do that or a command to run in the terminal to set this option as required?

For clarity, all other cellular functionality works as intended, including SMS, calls, and mobile internet access.

@bhdouglass Thank you very much. I've uploaded the corrected version. The store page doesn't seem to display the version number on the website - this doesn't appear to affect the Open Store app.

Hello all,

I have been working on an app for Ubuntu Touch which I intend to publish on the Open Store. All the metadata is in place but I accidentally uploaded the wrong click package containing personal files it's not supposed to. I can't find any way to delete them and I uploaded a Focal build with the same files to the Xenial build. Is anyone able to delete all click packages associated with my UltrasonicMadness Open Store account? I will be more careful in the future. I'm sorry I can't use the Open Store Telegram to send this.

Best regards,
UltrasonicMadness

@standupmobile I changed all mentions of a three.co.uk APN in this file to superdrug.net, deleted all MMS settings and reset them System Settings and it still reverts to three.co.uk on reboot and after multiple reboots.

@lakotaubp I tried the given settings - the ones I could input (MCC and MNC are not present for me) and they still don't work.

I strongly suspect the problem is that changing the settings has no actual impact on the relevant connections as setting the APN to example.com still allows me to connect to the Internet. Is there a way to check which APN Ubuntu and Nuntium are attempting to send the message over?

Hello all,

I recently changed mobile networks. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get any MMS messages to send - they show as sending for a few minutes and eventually fail.

I suspect the problem might be with the APN settings - my current mobile network is Superdrug Mobile, an MVNO using 3's network. The reason I mention this is that the SIM card's default settings are all labelled 3 and use the three.co.uk APN, apart from 3 Modem which uses 3internet, while my network gives these settings which use the superdrug.net APN - all the other settings are the same between this link and the default ones. Enabling only the MMS-only one and changing them all to example.com both have no impact on internet access, which still works. The changes show up in the APN settings but seem to have no impact outside of that.

@kimo Maybe it's a problem with my old network - it's not a problem with a different network on the Fairphone 2. I would test the new SIM on the Pixel 3a but I'd have trouble transferring it back.

@keneda I thought so. Thank you very much for confirming.

Re: [HowTo] Update baseband & other firmware

I recently started using an old Fairphone 2 with Ubuntu Touch - having upgraded the (presumably) default operating system using the included updater to Android 10 before installing Ubuntu Touch. Is there a file for my use case or is my firmware likely up-to-date?

@lduboeuf I can confirm the issue persists with 20.04.

@emphrath I experienced this issue again today and that command had no effect.

Update on this - this issue has happened more than a few times this month. I only started noticing it after the OTA-24 update, though I don't text enough that I would have noticed before.

@rik I'm in the UK and my network provider is O2.

@kimo I think it's working again - took a good few (at least 3 or 4) restarts though.

Phone calls worked fine (unless I couldn't receive those either) and sending SMS worked as intended except I didn't receive the usual USSD message, mobile data worked as well.

@lakotaubp Could you link to that? It might just be the ticket.

@mrt10001 Android Studio tends to slow any PC I have to a crawl - I try to avoid it whenever possible.
