Hello,

To everyone who has worked on developing UT, thank you.

Here is my opinion on the new version “for the way I use a mobile phone”:

A lot of great work has gone into making the system both functional and attractive.
UT remains an easy-to-use and aesthetically refined system, which is a real asset!

Of course, that's not all, because the technologies introduced over the last two years will be greatly appreciated by users depending on the phone they use.

However, I regret that some features have not been resolved on my OP 5T, which I mention in the OP section.
There is a small bug that may be common to other phone brands listed in “devices”;
it concerns the remaining charge time shown on the screen, which unfortunately works in reverse, because when the phone is charged, it indicates that there are still several hours left before it is fully charged...

I hope this will be resolved as soon as possible.
Best regards.

Hello Danfro,
In version 24.04, the notification LED still does not work properly.
After a reboot, with a bit of luck, it may work, but after rebooting UT, it will not work...
Have you not incorporated your work on this kernel into the latest version of UT?
The LED for received messages or the LED light when charging the battery is GREAT when it works...
And speaking of battery charging, the remaining time displayed on the screen goes against the countdown, because when the battery is close to full charge, the remaining charging time displayed will have increased, so at the start of charging you might see 49 minutes. And then 12 hours and 5 minutes (weird, right?).
Best regards

Hello,
Sorry for only responding to your help now.
I searched my provider's website, but there was no information other than to change
my mobile phone.
Therefore, I will visit one of this provider's shops as soon as I have time.
Thank you again.

Hello,
I have been using UT for several years.
I had not yet tried to connect my OPT5 to my mobile operator's 4G network.
For updates or to check the web, I used to connect to the wifi network at home.
Now (everything happens one day) I have tried to take advantage of mobile data with my card but without success because the SIM indicates that I am in 2G and yet in the cellular settings of UT, I checked the 2G/3G/4G option.
My operator is telling me to switch to 4G, but I've ticked the right option on UT
Can you help me?
Thank you for your help!

; ...Good advice from a wise man, thank you ... if I'm wise too, of course.
Concerning UT, I'll open another post about some question I have about the particularity of its adaptation for this tablet. See you soon.

Since the r285 update, sound is again available for media and keyboard, etc.
So it's solved.
Nevertheless, there are currently a lot of updates and in order to avoid this kind of problem or other, Is a stable channel planned in the not-too-distant future ?

; ...the problem is more general on the tablet as there is no sound for the keyboard etc...
Perhaps because of the latest update?

Hello,

I've talked about the problems I'm having with the tablet on
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10113/post-your-thoughts-here-on-this-tablet/39.

Here, I open this post because I notice that I have no sound when viewing a video on Youtube. This makes it impossible to enjoy a concert, for example.
On my OP5T, everything's fine.
Have you ever noticed this on this tablet and would you have a solution to this problem?
I'd like to point out that I installed it with ubports-installer 0.10.0 and that I bought the tablet second-hand with version android 11.

@vince-vs
edit :
and I'd like to add that Vibrations doesn't work with UT.

and that when I talk about Waydroid, it's when I'm on Lineage that you can't see the whole screen widthways. so I've made it clearer, I hope...

Hello,

Lenovo TAB M10 HD TB-x306F 3G/32G android 11 - fully functional ?

So I installed UT with ubports-installer 0.10.0 , a few days ago on this tablet, and I notice some problems that I describe here :

• As explained by @Spymaker the reboot is excessively slow,

• more than 5 MINUTES !

• It's a shame that the battery charge indicator isn't visible when the charger cable is plugged in and the device is switched off, but as soon as the device is switched on, UT indicates that it's charged ;

• Regrettable: in Waydroid mode, the screen is not rotated in its entirety across the width of the device, there is only one visible part, which corresponds to the part of the UT ( and Waydroid ) applications pane across the width of the tablet screen, so about 1/3 is visible.

So, if I go back to what bothers me so much about a tablet that I'm giving to my dear Mum, so that she can read newspapers, books or any other information, it's that she won't have access to reading across the width of the screen with Waydroid ! So books etc. will have to be downloaded and, for example, stored on a micro SD card, then imported to be read on UT where, fortunately, the display is maximum, both in width and height.

On my OP5T, I can use the entire screen in both height and width, so it's a shame that it doesn't work on a tablet that's supposed to make reading easier and is recommended for people with poor vision !

It should also be noted that the camera has no sound when viewing a video recording made with the tablet ( or, sometimes, very weak sound ), although I have noted that this is a known problem, but one that has been around for far too long! ( when will this bug be solved or a new camera application ? )

So, is UT on the Lenovo TAB M10 HD fully functional ? That depends, of course, on how everyone feels about it.

@Salah
Happy New Year!
I'm taking the liberty of joining the conversation for the same problem because I had edited a post on OP5T, not having received a reply.
Here's what I wrote in that post:

Hello,
the camera's video playback is no longer possible, even after rebooting.
When I want to see a recording made from the camera or a downloaded video, the moment I start viewing, a black screen appears, and nothing else.
I've noticed this for about 1 week.
To all the many OP5T users out there, have you noticed this problem?

@Salah
I had not seen that you had opened a post after me concerning this problem and therefore, I do not open a post on 20.04 focal, and I join the conversation on your post, since I see that you have more success than me ...

@Salah
Happy New Year
Are you on 20.04 focal ?
If so, since you're having the same problem as me with the video camera on another phone, I'll put this post on 20.04 focal and ask that it stay there, so that there's more reaction and help possible.
Thank you.

Hello,
Good news indeed, and it makes a lot of people very happy!
And thanks also to the various contributors to the subject.

@arubislander
It is, of course, those who have been involved in this project from the outset who remain in control of its route.
Nevertheless, among the users, there are of course these developers and others, and there are the users who have their own opinion on the matter.
Who says developers says, no doubt, passion, challenge, fun etc ...,
who says users and not developers says, no doubt, a reason mentioned by some and others, security and privacy with this system.
However, where I think the “basic” user is wondering is what will happen to his or her phone if it is no longer supported, or if he or she chooses a phone from the list of devices, for how long? So it's logical to choose the phone that is best supported by UT.
As a result, the devices that are least well supported will eventually be dropped and disappear from the device list. ( I know, it's more complex than that, but there's a bit of it, isn't there? )
Aren't we running the risk of it going off in all directions with certain devices, only to end up with nothing at some point?
Far from wanting to direct the project, this is simply my vision of what I think as a user of a system I've been adhering to since 2016, in the hope that it will be as functional as possible on a device I find in the list of devices, and also, and this is only my opinion, that it will ensure the project's perenniality.
If I'm keen on UT, it's because I don't know if there's another project that's better suited to what I want from my phone, and that above all it's a simple, fluid, functional system that respects privacy that I need.
I'm sorry for this end-of-year prayer, but could you please tell me what the possibility is, as indicated at the beginning of the post, in the installer in the event of reinstallation?

@Moem
Yes, since you're talking about the noble version, and I had read that tests had been done for this phone on another kernel and that it seemed to work, it would be a shame not to take advantage of that, as having a version where all the hardware works is a plus and gives a good impression of UT's performance.
That's why the discussion, which could concern other devices ( and if, as many here hold ), could be maintained on 20.04 focal fossa, because after all, isn't One of the reasons for UT to run on more phones, to avoid obsolescence and enable a more sustainable world?

Since my phone is no longer maintained in development, in focal which is a pity, given the investment for it, and also for the choice of UT, can you help me and let me know, (as I have not been checked in the installer given that until now the phone is no longer detected on my operating system), if in case of need for reinstallation there is an option to do it up to ota-7 in the installer?
On the other hand, since I consider that UT was not yet completed until ota-7 focal, for my OPT5, since features like led, etc .... that worked in ota-25 xenial, I guess that if I reflash an android image, there is still a way on a UT installer to reinstall UT in ota-25 ?
Thank you for your kind attention to my questions about using UT on my OP5T.

I'll soon open a post about another very annoying problem (the camera's video playback is no longer possible, even after rebooting).

Hello,
Sorry I've only just got back.
I'm reacting to your observation because I think it's a bug in kde 6.2.4 :
https://forums.opensuse.org/t/android-now-detected-as-portable-media-player-and-cannot-access/180896/20
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497605
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=497539

I, for one, noticed that when installing 6.2.4, changes had to be accepted and some items were deleted, which could have caused a problem.
The small difference with your distribution is that I can't even see the device in the Dolphin pane.
I'll be patient and wait for a possible change for the kde plasma 6.2.5 version available at the beginning of 2025.
Happy holidays!
