    • RE: Cool thing to do with a ubports device - remote sound player

      The opposite works as well. You can use your phone as remote mic using ssh

      pactl load-module module-pipe-source source_name=virtualmic file=/tmp/virtualmic format=s16le rate=44100 channels=1
      
      ssh phablet@'phone-ip' [-i identity_file] "arecord -f S16_LE -r 44100" |cat > /tmp/virtualmic

    • RE: GPS positioning stops working after a random duration

      @gpatel-fr

      My apologies, I replied to the initial post of @slowcyclist, and while re-reading my own post it is indeed not very clear.
      I'm having the both mallooc and segfaults. Especially the segfaults result into freezing navigation apps.

    • 24.04-1.2 not announced on forum?

      Today I received the update to 24.04-1.2 on my Pixel 3a, which is set to channel 24.04-1.x Stable
      Checking the UBports news section, I found this article, but I could not find any announcement of the release of 24.04-1.2 on the forum. Was this missed?

    • Upgrade to Noble failed

      I tried to upgrade to Noble this week when the option was presented in the 'Updates' menu. The whole process took about 30 minutes and it did boot, however unlocking the phone would result into immediate restart of lomiri presenting me the lock screen again. Unlocking would result into the same restart of lomiri. I was able to open the top drawer and noticed new items like Display and Ayatana-bluetooth-indicator. But none of the buttons would respond.

      I rebooted which took about 10 minutes, than interface seemed to respond properly. But due to missing mobile communications (no indicator in the top bar), I rebooted again.

      After third boot interface looked ok, but when opening Cinny, I got a message that disk was full. If I recall correctly I started the upgrade with around 10GB free space.

      Subsequent reboots took around 30 minutes again. But basically same status as during the first boot after upgrade as described above. I was able to ssh into the phone and noticed that no free space in /dev/mmcblk0p72 mounted on /userdata was available.

      I tried reinstalling noble, by using the installer without success. Same performance as with the subsequent reboots.
      Than I downgraded to Focal and the phone responded properly again. I was only missing Dekko2, which was solved by reinstalling. But I also got a message of 3% disk space remaining.

      I found a 7 and 8 GB backup file in /userdata/backups (user-config-backup-20251003T161729Z.tar.gz and user-config-backup-20251003T164623Z.tar.gz) So I deleted the oldest.

      This experience leads me to a couple of questions:

      • What is the purpose of user-config-backup files?

      • Is it safe to delete them all?

      • How do I upgrade properly to Noble

    • Matrix bridges

      Inspired by this post, I'm wondering what the security implications are of using Matrix bridges. I assume that the bridge is as secure as the least secure medium involved, so bridges are by default less secure than communication within a single medium.

      So the only reason to use a bridge, would be if the other user is not able or willing to use Matrix as medium. Is my reasoning correct?

      Screencasting and taking a screenshot of the desktop is a solution for scanning the QR code on the same device, if you don't have a spare phone.

    • Waydroid blocking GPS to UT apps

      I'm running Focal OTA-2 on a Pixel 3A and experience the issue that UT apps like uNav and Puremaps do not show the current GPS location as soon as I start Waydroid. Inside the waydroid container the GPS signal is still available, as mentioned in my other post.
      Stopping the waydroid container does not solve the issue, but a reboot does.
      Can this be solved or should i report it as a bug?

    • RE: GPS in waydroid when UT location detection is off

      @arubislander The fix is accurate. Google maps navigation is providing correct location, when driving on the freeway with no nearby wifi networks.

    • GPS in waydroid when UT location detection is off

      Does Android inside Waydroid have access to the GPS sensor even when the location detection in UT is set to 'off'?
      I noticed Google Maps was able to get a fix, even when I turned off location detection. It was at a highway outside of town, therefore I don't think the fix was a result of Google Location services

    • RE: SIM stopped working after three weeks

      I reinstalled Android, the SIM card still did not work properly. I was able to read the correct provider name in the phone settings. I tried different SIM cards from different operators, all had the same issue. I could read the operator correctly, but no cellular connection did not work.
      Than GPS also started to show issues, in the first weeks I was able to get and hold a fix. But now the first fix was ok, but after a couple of minutes the GPS stopped working.
      I opened the device, because previous owner said it got a new battery. half of the screw were missing. I needed my phone for work and had no time for further investigation.
      In the end I bought a new Pixel 3a and am installing UT at the moment.

    • SIM stopped working after three weeks

      I've been using Focal for three weeks. Today, after a reboot, the cellular connection is not established anymore. Instead of displaying my provider name, now it displays 'unknown'. If I remove my sim card, it says 'no sim'
      The reason for the reboot was the unability to start Morph, tapping the icon did not result in starting the app. After reboot, Morph works again, but the cellular connection is gone. Rebooting doesn't solve the issue. The SIM card is good, as it still works OK in my Nexus 4.
      I noticed some different messages in the ofono logs. What should i do to fix this issue?

      Ofono log when SIM unknown is displayed:

    • How to manually adjust edge sensitivity?

      I'm running Focal on a Pixel 3a with a bumper cover. The cover makes it difficult to perform edge swipes. This post indicates that it can be solved by adjusting the edge size with UT tweak tool, but the tool is not available for Focal in the OpenStore yet. Is there an option to change the edge size manually?
