    • RE: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 Beta 1 is now available for testing

      @rund_europa I have had a similar sounding SMS problems on a couple occasions after importing my message history when changing phones (copying history.sqlite, and attachments, and pasting into same folder on new phone.)
      History sometimes would load, sometimes wouldn't. Messages sometimes refused to send. Seemed to depend how I'd entered a message window - by clicking from Notifications, clicking on a message in the Messages main window, or starting new message and entering recipient.
      Sometimes it would enter a message window to a contact where the telephone icon was not at top right, and usually that wouldn't load history.

      It seemed to fix itself over time. But would persist with certain contacts.

      Anyway, hopefully it just keeps working for you. I just mention in case it's related. Maybe a bug that predates Noble more to do with the system picking up SMS history?

    • RE: Will Dekko2 make it to noble?

      @messayisto I appreciate the reports and info gathering you've done on what apps are working in Noble. App ecosystem is often make or break for those of us daily driving UT.
      Note though that Dekko is not a core system app, and as such is not the realm of the UBports Foundation.

      Whether or not Dekko or another email client should be a core app is another matter, but with the small crew of devs already doing so much, I'd be hesitant to suggest adding to the workload.

      At present Dekko hasn't been updated in 15 months and likely needs somebody to take the reins.

    • RE: Liberapay as a donation method

      @amazones Hmm, interesting. I see the LP logo for Liberapay in Morph, though I can't open it. Do not see it in uFirefox.
      Donate link now seems to pay through something called Mollie.

      It'll be good to learn what happens with existing ongoing Liberapay donations, and whether it's better for the Foundation for us to switch.

    • RE: Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-10

      @RJDan This topic is for testing 20.04 OTA 10. Sounds like you've upgraded to 24.04. There's a separate topic for 24.04.

      I think apps not opening makes sense. Not all will work out of box on 24.04, and will require action by the app developer.
      If you've gone to 24.04 without intending to, maybe wait for somebody more knowledgeable than me to suggest how to go back. I thiiink you should just be able to flash 20.04 Stable / RC without erasing data and that should be fine? But I'm not sure.

    • RE: Ubuntu Touch 24.04, VoLTE, and Devices in the US

      @atarilinux I'll start by saying that VoLTE, while being used daily by some, sounds like it should still be considered in beta across all devices.

      You're right that Volla and Fairphone don't sell outside the EU, at least for now. @AppLee recently mentioned that Volla is looking into official network support in North America, so who knows, maybe they'll sell phones here one day.
      Meanwhile, there is Murena, a third party vendor, that will sell Fairphones to NA, or third party shipping services, which I know little about, but will ship here for a markup.
      There are also Fairphone 4 phones on eBay from a vendor called NeverMSRP that I considered for a bit. They seem to have good reviews.

      But there are also people using Xiaomi phones with VoLTE, including in USA I believe. Poco X3, Redmi Note 9 Pro, and maybe others. The ports for these phones seem to be solid and supported. I found those phones hard to find domestically, but careful searches on eBay yielded international vendors who'd sell to Canada, though tariff stuff may be complicated in USA.

      And then Brax3 phone and Furiphone FLX1 are both making ports of UT, though we're awaiting details. Both play well with USA networks though.

      Hard time to make a decision, with VoLTE and 24.04 still in progress, but we can at least help each other be aware of the options and make the most informed decision possible.

    • RE: Hi from Thailand – I'm Nack, 10 years with Ubuntu and ready to build!

      @naratip_prachai
      Welcome to community! I'm sure your skills will be very useful!
      There is a specific post to introduce yourself, and there's a category of the forum for app development.
      Lots of UBports stuff, especially development stuff, also happens on a number of different UBports Telegram channels. As you get into developing, you may find faster technical input there. But the forum is nice for being easily searchable, readable by the internet at large. Many app developers seem to have had useful back and forth with users/testers here.

      Already grateful to you for your desire to contribute! Thanks!

    • RE: Upgrading to correct version of Android 10

      @Vlad-Nirky Thanks! Yep, sounds like it's safest to make sure that it's the latest version of android 10, but at least upgrading sounds a bit simpler than downgrading, even if unlocking is a pain with Xiaomi.
      Appreciate the input!

    • Upgrading to correct version of Android 10

      If I found a Joyeuse device for sale with the original, out of box version of Android 10, can I just upgrade to the specific version needed and save some effort?

    • RE: Estimates On VoLTE Arrival

      Hmm. @thebroison are you SURE it's a Pixel 3 and not 3a? You say UT is running normally on this phone?

    • RE: Estimates On VoLTE Arrival

      @thebroison Huh, maybe it was once supported. Or maybe it happens to be close enough that installing the 3a version works? I'm not sure.
      Hope you're able to find a solution for VoLTE one of these days!

    • RE: Estimates On VoLTE Arrival

      @thebroison Ah, I missed that in your post. Yep, @johndoe is right, there is no port for the the Pixel 3, and as such, no existing community of UT users with a Pixel 3, like there is with a Pixel 3a/3aXL.
      Unless you're able to port it, your best bet might be to see if you can find a used device that's already supported. For example, people in the USA are now using VoLTE with Xiaomi devices, I believe. You'd want to look into carrier compatibility, supported devices with VoLTE (which is still in testing, unclear which devices it will land on), and what's available/affordable.

    • RE: Qualcomm drivers not installing

      @SaLo Sorry you haven't had a reply yet! I don't have the answer, but wanted to give this post a bump in the queue.

      I remember at one point that Ruben, the maintainer of this port, who also keeps up the OP N10, said that the Metro/T-Mobile version of the N10 would work. Can't say for certain that applies to N100 as well though.

      Weird things sometimes happen with old USB cables, so making sure you've got a really good USB cable is worth it.

      Overall it sounds like you've done a lot of things right, and I don't know why it's not working. But I'm not the most knowledgeable. I hope somebody's able to help.

    • RE: IA out of order

      @_Joao_ Hi! Scaling, as @arubislander also mentioned, can be adjusted in UT Tweak Tool. But if you haven't changed it already, it seems unlikely to be the issue.

      I don't have a Poco X3 (yet?), and it works normally in Morph on my OP N10.
      But one thing that might be worth trying, just in case, it getting Webber from the Openstore, and making a webapp. Might not fix it, but an easy enough thing to try.

    • RE: Koodo Support

      @Simmonz I've got no relevant input, except that you might also consider whether you need MMS, and if that'll work. A while back I was with Public Mobile (under the Telus umbrella, like Koodo), and got a message that MMS would stop working with my phone. They suggested that I buy a newer phone from their "affiliate partner".
      Sure enough MMS stopped working, everything else continued fine. This change was Telus wide. I asked for technical details of why that was happening and got nothing beyond "network changes". They couldn't confirm whether a given phone, if not on their officially supported list, would work or not, so I just switched networks. Lucky Mobile (Bell) has been fine.

      Hopefully someone else can help, but if you learn more elsewhere, please report here. The combination of high price and uncertainty about network compatibility with Volla and Fairphone makes it hard to want to spend that kind of money for those outside Europe, just to cross your fingers and hope everything works.
      Posts like these, easily searchable for potential UT users, can help many people.

    • RE: Estimates On VoLTE Arrival

      @thebroison Unfortunately, there are no devs working on this. Sounds like a new port for 3a/3aXL might be needed / the easiest option? The guy who was maintaining the Pixel 3a, who has done a LOT for UT, can't test on his own carrier due to no VoLTE support, didn't get the help he needed, and has moved on.
      While we all like to see older devices maintained, my impression is that with the amount of challenge required, it might be better placed into newer devices at this point.

      This said, there are certainly others who'd like to make VoLTE work on the Pixel 3a, and if people pull it off, that's fantastic. But like all these community efforts, it'll be down to you and the others involved to make it happen.

      You'll find that there are other posts on this topic on the forum, and in the Telegram UT North American Carriers Issues channel, so if you want to try to help, you may not be alone!

      @Eric-H Interesting! Even the unblocked photo isn't so bad to my eye, but I see the difference. Thanks for pointing me to that!
      Very helpful to know the details before spending hundreds on one phone or another. Thank you!
