Thanks for posting, that's interesting.
It mentioned it'd be a Mediatek device, which if I understand correctly sounds like a better candidate for VoLTE.. IF the device arrives and IF the port works, etc.
In any case, a nice bit of publicity. I figure more publicity, more users, perhaps more developers and also more donations to the foundation 
Look forward to hearing more as things develop @Lakotaubp. Thanks!
I know this is an old thread, but it seemed the most relevant place to report:
Today I received a cell broadcast! Emergency alert test in Ontario, Canada. Running 20.04 OTA-6 on a Oneplus 5T.
Phone was on silent, so I just heard the vibrations and saw the message.
Way to go team! Many thanks to Lionel and others who've worked on this!
Thanks a million to whoever fixed this so quickly! And for updating the core system apps in general. We appreciate you!
@peat_psuwit Thanks for clarifying. I hadn't figured that out from reading through the issue. Just wanted to make sure it was known.
Keep up the good work! Thank you
This is a little off where the topic has gotten to, but a quick note:
MMS has always worked independently of wifi on/off for me. On Oneplus 1, 5, and 5T, 16.04 and 20.04, MMS sends and receives with wifi connected. I've heard some others say the same on the forum.
2024-W45 is working just fine for me on a Oneplus 5. SMS, MMS, data, vibration and wireless display via Miracast all working as normal.
Thanks as ever to the devs for their hard work!
Hey @shodan,
Welcome to the community!
I wouldn't give up on the phones you got just yet. After a quick bit of searching, I can't find any such phone as a Oneplus N10 Metro. I don't know much about these things, but could the device be locked to a cell carrier called Metro, and maybe that's coming up in the installer? In searching for a Oneplus N10 Metro, I noticed there's a cell company in the USA called Metro that seems to supply Oneplus N10. Sometimes a device is locked to a carrier, but often it is possible to unlock it. May be worth searching online for how to unlock the phone from Metro? But again, I'm really not sure this is the case.
Also, I see that you have Android 11 installed. In the device page for the OP N10, if you scroll down a ways, it states that you'll need to be using a specific version, Oxygen 10.5.7 or something. The system image or whatever you call it is conveniently linked from the device page. You'll need to download that file and install that version of android before installing Ubuntu Touch.
The other main thing you'll need to do , probably before downgrading, is unlock the bootloader. Search online for how. Takes a bit of doing, but it's all doable.
General installation instructions for Ubuntu Touch are found on the installer page.
Hope it turns out that your devices are what you thought they were, and useable for UT!
Well, I'm glad you have a fix, but it sure sounds painful. Wish someone had been able to find a simpler way.
Hopefully this thread at least helps others with similar issues.
@ezst036 Sorry to hear those things haven't worked. I assume that if restarting nuntium didn't fix the problem, it's just a different issue than I was having.
I hope you're able to resolve it somehow without a full backup and re-install. I presume that in the past when this has happened to you, flashing without wiping data didn't fix the issue?
@arubislander
That's a really helpful tip, for me and no doubt for others. Thanks a lot!
@ezst036 Can I ask what device you're using? Mine's a Oneplus 5/5T. It did seem like a number of other people had struggles with MMS on these devices, including some where it worked and then would suddenly stop working.
In case it's useful, here's what I used to do before I found the nuntium command. I have no idea whether it's all needed, but this fix also worked reliably, the restart nuntium command was just a lot faster.
"I have a weird process that fixes it, some of which is probably unnecessary/superstition: I change my MMS APN to something incorrect, disable MMS, restart phone, correct the MMS APN, enable MMS again, restart phone again, and then it works."

Except, when I type in that command or just when I type in initctl I get:
bash: initctl: command not found
Whoops indeed. Looks like that command doesn't exist in 20.04. Sorry for the bad advice, I'm still running 16.04 on my daily driver, as I have some need for video calls.
I wonder if there's a way to get that command back. After a quick bit of searching I tried "apt-install upstart" without success.
wouldn't this nuntium be restarted if I do a phone shutdown or reboot?
I would have thought so too, but I had this problem many times, far more often than once every six months. Restarting/shutting down never fixed it, and that command always did.
I lack technical knowledge, and really just poked at things a bunch without always understanding. Lionel knows 1000 times more than me and has actually worked on a bunch of this stuff, so please defer to his advice over mine. I just happen to have had the same (or a similar sounding) issue as you.
Before I discovered that terminal command, I did have a more convoluted fix, which I'll go look for.
Here's something to try. I can't say whether it will definitely fix things, but it's quick and it won't break anything.
Open Terminal
type "initctl --user restart nuntium"
It should return something like "nuntium start/running, process " and then a short string of digits.
I used to have an identical sounding issue, occurring unpredictably, every so often. Wheel spinning forever on outgoing MMS, nothing to indicate an incoming MMS even happened. For me the above fix always worked.
I never figured out what made the problem happen, or how to know when it HAD happened besides manually testing. I always worried a client had texted me without me knowing.
It hasn't happened since I changed cell providers, and it's now been long enough that I think it just doesn't happen any more.
This may be provider specific, but I'm able to text photos to myself, which was always a good test of whether or not things were working.
Thanks @ikoz, that saved me a lot of time.
Installed, ran and performed successfully on my Oneplus 5T running 20.04 stable channel.
Bravo!!
@ikoz Wow, that's amazing that you did that! Thanks, on behalf of the community!
You spent two hours on that. It will take me longer than two hours just to understand how gitlab works and to install (build?) the app to help test 
But I'll try!
Hopefully others like @Salah take notice and can help test too.
Again, thanks!
There was an app called Custom Phablet Tools that let you change your icons. It wasn't updated to 20.04, but I still have it working on a Oneplus 5T running 16.04.
https://open-store.io/app/custom-phablet-tools.kazord
It has a bunch of set icon packs, which are quite incomplete and out of date. There's no built-in way to add your own icons or to edit these packs within the app, but if somebody took on maintaining that app, perhaps they could change that. First thing would be to bring it to 20.04 of course.
I have no sense of how hard this is, and no skills to help. Just thought it might be a safer way to try to go about this if you don't wanna go the hacky routes.
But of course this requires somebody doing it, and the devs are a bunch of volunteer superheros who're already working on a bunch of very important and difficult sounding things like VoLTE, 5G, a newer browser, updating to 24.04, etc.
Hi all,
At some point I read that some of the money that the UBports Foundation gets may go to providing phones to developers if needed.
Many of us have an old UT-capable device or two around, and many of us non-devs would like to contribute more to the project. To my mind, if there are any aspiring devs out there who might not be able to afford or find a viable phone for UT where they are, getting them a phone is important!
Does it seem feasible and worthwhile for me to try to set up a way for aspiring devs to request a phone and for existing UT users to donate one?
Thanks a zillion for all your work, and for hosting these cheery Q&As!
Glad to hear it, @James-T!
Wish I'd thought to mention how replaceable the battery also is, before you brought it in. I replaced mine recently and the new one is giving me more than double the lifespan. The part cost $11.75CAD. Less than €8.00
Thanks @AppLee, for the reply and for all your work!
Hi pals, two questions:
Has anyone heard from a company called SageTea, who "makes" something called the Xfone? Do they contribute to Ubports in any way, or just sell phones that they load with Ubuntu Touch?
Are you all aware that there are wild standing ovations going on all over the place when, for example, Marius talks of progress on VoLTE and 5G, Alfred talks of WebKit and Snaps progress, AppLee bravely starts hosting a Q&A show solo, Lionel revamps Contacts, etc? Often you announce very major things and I hope you know how enthusiastically they are received. Thanks a lot for what you do!
