    • RE: pure maps on UT 20.04

      @DJac Yep! If you want, you could scroll to top, click the gear icon near the blue reply button, Mark as a Question, then Mark as Solved. Helps with forum tidiness.

    • RE: Ubuntu Touch Q&A 182 Call for Questions

      @UBportsNews What is meant by "Supportive Member" as opposed to "Free Member" when signing up to help with Writing, Testing, etc?
      Is signing up under the Get Involved section of the website still a good way to go about joining these teams? It hasn't worked the past couple times I've tried.

      Thanks for keeping us informed and entertained!

      Pure Maps, " Slim and " Unconfined are all available in the OpenStore as viewed from 20.04 again.
      Thanks Jonatan!

    • RE: pure maps on UT 20.04

      @DJac Version 3.1.0 was for Xenial, 16.04. You need to use a newer version for Focal, 20.04. I'd uninstall the other one first if I were you.

      I did mention this for you on the Matrix channel I mentioned above and Jonatan was unaware that it had disappeared, so perhaps it'll reappear in the OpenStore for those on 20.04 soon.

    • RE: Delivery of incoming text messages (SMS) randomly

      @HarryBass Hmm. I don't have any great answers, but a couple ideas.
      First, please state what version of UT you're using (20.04 OTA__ / 24.04___), it could help others assist you.

      This thread is mostly about MMS issues, but at one point the user describes losing SMS messages as well. After a few days of SMS not working, it seems that the Terminal command sudo systemctl restart ofono caused a bunch of undelivered messages to come streaming in.
      The poster has not described whether they rebooted during the time that SMS wasn't working, but I'd suspect that one would've tried that at some point, and that for some reason the restart ofono command did something that a reboot did not.

      Receiving SMS half the time seems different, but I thought I'd provide what I could.
      I have what seems to be unique issues with my OP N10, which also involves undelivered SMS, but if a flickering screen upon shutdown/reboot happens to you, let me know.

    • RE: pure maps on UT 20.04

      @DJac There you go, you should be able to install from Bolly's link. You'll want one of the arm64 builds.
      Still not clear exactly why it's not visible in the Openstore from a 20.04 device. Did you contact anyone?

    • RE: Most wanted features for Morph?

      @garsbenjoe Please note that this thread has been inactive for 4 years before one recent comment. Also, I think vertical scrolling doesn't work well in desktop mode across the board, not just in Morph, and is a known issue.
      Thanks for your input though!

    • RE: How can I troubleshoot broken SMS?

      @gpatel-fr Thank you for the explanation. Slowly, very slowly, I learn more about the technical end of things.
      If indeed it was SMS that came flooding in after ofono was restarted, it makes me wonder if they had tried rebooting the phone prior to that, during the three days that they were unable to receive SMS.

    • RE: How can I troubleshoot broken SMS?

      @gpatel-fr Ah, I understand your interpretation, but I think the flood of "plain text messages" to which they're referring is not logs, but a bunch of undelivered SMS which suddenly were all delivered at once after the daemon and ofono restarted.
      They go on to talk about the dating of the messages and reference "text messages", which generally means SMS.
      I think they're saying that the SMS timestamps were all from right then, when the SMS were delivered, which is how UT lists timestamps in Messages (although under Notifications one can see the time at which an SMS was actually sent).

      @ezst036 Can you clarify whether by flood of plain text messages you mean logs or SMS?

    • RE: How can I troubleshoot broken SMS?

      @gpatel-fr Thanks for the help! I don't have the MMS issue anymore, so can't provide logs. There's history of this in the forum, going back to when it was an initctl command under 16.04. In another thread Lionel theorized that perhaps nuntium was being started too early in the boot process, but again nobody provided logs. I tried to recreate the issue on a broken old phone just for the logs, but failed.

      Thanks for the clarification on the other commands. The reason I was hopeful it might fix my situation was having read:
      @ezst036 said in How can I troubleshoot broken SMS?:

      Interesting. As soon as I restarted the daemon with 'sudo systemctl daemon-reload' and 'sudo systemctl restart ofono', a flood of plain text messages instantly came in.

      I really appreciate people looking for the root of an issue like you are, and recognize that even if the restart-nuntium command works, it's a quick fix that doesn't help anyone solve any underlying bugs unless logs can be provided.

    • RE: pure maps on UT 20.04

      @DJac Hmm, yes, I can't find it either from 20.04.
      Maybe if you're smarter than me at using git you'll find a way to install it from here: https://github.com/rinigus/pure-maps
      Or contact somebody? https://matrix.to/#/#pure-maps:matrix.org

    • RE: How can I troubleshoot broken SMS?

      @ezst036 MMS always mostly worked for me though, and then both MMS and SMS stopped at once. Plus the other strange stuff with the flickering. I think my weirdo problem is separate.
      I do recommend trying systemctl --user restart nuntium though, just in case. It's quick to try at least. I don't really understand why that would fix things when a reboot doesn't, but it always did for me when I'd see no sign of an incoming MMS, and it has worked for others on the forum too.

      @gpatel-fr Thanks for the reply, but I meant the daemon-reload and restart ofono commands that ezst036 mentioned.

    • RE: How can I troubleshoot broken SMS?

      @ezst036 Hmm. I thought we might have the same problem - I'm also using Oneplus N10, and lost SMS receipt, but not sending, upon upgrading to 20.04 OTA 11.

      I was excited to try the two terminal commands you referenced, but still can' receive SMS, so maybe we have different problems? Did yours stop working after upgrading to OTA-11? Do you ever get a strange glitch where upon receipt of a notification, the phone freezes and the phone screen starts rapidly flashing, and won't power off? If not I'll go back to assuming my problem is unique and my particular OP N10 is just cursed 🙂

      (Also, I always have had the odd MMS that just wasn't received, though mostly they work for me.. often the right APN setting is the trick if they aren't working at all, maybe two different APNs, one for Internet, one for MMS. Sometimes MMS used to break in a way that a reboot didn't fix, but systemctl --user restart nuntium would. But I'm pretty confident MMS issues are totally separate from SMS issues.)

    • RE: Oneplus n10 24.04-2.x follow up

      @oldbutndy If you mean that it turns WiFi on/off depending on your location, then no. If WiFi is on it'll connect automatically to known networks and, when connected, prefer that over cellular. But nothing I know of to trigger WiFi specifically based on location.

      Really cool! I think this will be a very welcome app.
      The security concerns do seem significant, but perhaps it can improve over time.

    • RE: OnePlus just informed me they will NOT unlock bootloader for a device on bought on Ebay.

      @oldbutndy The terminal command worked. Confirmed, mine is BE2026. All I had to do to unlock was the standard android developer mode and such, no Oneplus, no code.

      (the UT Tweak Tool also yielded results, but fell one character short. "Device name: PRETTY_HOSTNAME=BE202"😂)

    • RE: OnePlus just informed me they will NOT unlock bootloader for a device on bought on Ebay.

      @oldbutndy In Ubuntu Touch, all "About This Device" tells me is "OneplusN10". Looking up IMEI didn't yield anything specific about model #.

      My best guess after some reading on XDA:
      BE2025=Metro(USA?)
      BE2026=North America, non-network
      BE2028=TMobile(USA?)
      BE2029=Global except stupid North American market?

      Anyway, mine does NOT have a dual SIM, and I never saw Metro or T-Mobile on boot, so I presume it's BE2026. Happy to check further if you know how.
      But sounds like BE2026 (if you can get your hands on it) or non-eBay purchase is the way to go?

      Thanks for the info about them asking for sales receipts, BTW.. I'm considering buying a replacement N10 for my poor broken old one, now that VoLTE seems to be coming along. 3G is slowly being sunset up here in Canada too.
      I've been trying to get a Redmi Note 9 Pro working, but can't get bootloader unlocked, and network coverage isn't great anyway.

    • RE: OnePlus just informed me they will NOT unlock bootloader for a device on bought on Ebay.

      I can confirm that I have unlocked a OP N10 without a code. Bought in Canada, not sold by a telecom. I think it was probably BE2026?

      What I don't understand is how Oneplus knows the phone was from eBay. Did you mention that in applying for a code to unlock the bootloader?

    • RE: Improving Support for Games Like Geometry Dash on Ubuntu Touch

      @b15063368 Unfortunately I can't answer many of your questions, but I think that a number of games in the Open Store use Godot.
      If you don't hear back from anybody here on the forum, you can always try the Telegram groups, where often developers are more active.
      Thanks for your interest in making apps for UT!
