@Flohack said in How many people use Ubuntu Touch?:
@Opolork Yeah its low. But the main reason is that we do not support newer devices. Once that is cleared, we will see more users.
Exact, that's one of my reasons, why I am not using Ubuntu on my Smartphone anymore.
I don't like to bring always two phones with me. One UBports and one with power and good hardware.
@PINE64
Camera quality is important for me, that's why I switched back to Samsung S8 with Android, after using the Ubuntu phone for many years.
If the video quality is poor, it's useless for me and I always have to carry two phones, or a phone and an extra camera.
Hi,
We apologize that we have not gotten back to you yet.
If your inquiry is a feature request, please understand that we have received your request and our development team is constantly working to improve our product. However, due to the small size of our company we are currently unable to supply a timeline for any feature.
There was no other response anymore....
For me the main reason, why nobody knows about it is, because you can not buy a phone, preinstalled with that os.
The ones available before at the Canonical time, was very low level hardware and very limited amount of devices.
I was a buyer of the very first release of the BQ E4.5 Ubuntu Edition.
I still have my BQ E4.5 and BQ Aquaris FHD, but what can I do with them? Hardware is very weak,. The performance is very low and the camera for photos and videos is almost unusable. That was my reason, why I bought more than a year ago a Galaxy S8 with spyware Android.
Before I was using the BQ E4.5 for a looong time.
Maybe it will become more interesting, if Anbox is available, so you can install all the Android Apps. Because what's the use of the best os, if there are no apps?
Even I am not using it, but the world is asking for Whats App.
If there is no Whats App available, it's not interesting to the people.
See here: https://www.statista.com/statistics/260819/number-of-monthly-active-whatsapp-users/
This 2017 1.5 billion people are already out, because they are active Whats App users.
Even there is Telegram, people are using Whats App.
And to be truth, Whats App is way more advanced than Telegram.

I think this can do:
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt update
@hummlbach got what I am talking about.
Other comments like @Marathon2422 is just childish.
Doesn't need to be a Galaxy phone, but fast CPU with high quality camera for photos and videos.
I tried that some years, to make YouTube Videos with my BQ E4.5, but that doesn't work. It's just to bad quality. Also with the tablet, the video quality is unusable.
I really like the UBports OS, but without good hardware, it's just unusable for me.
@joe said in Making Ubuntu Touch an easy choice:
There is enough Hardware for which it works
In my opinion, there should not be "enough hardware" there should be new and powerful hardware on which it works. Like Galaxy S8 or S9 and not only old rare retired devices with low power.
I think it's better to develop for one or two new devices, than for 10 old devices.
Only if it will be available for current devices, the consumers on the world become aware of it.
I was a very big fan of Ubuntu Touch, I bought one of the first BQ E4.5 and then a BQ M10 FHD tablet.
Then devices gain a little bit in speed and power with the Meizu devices, but since years the devices have no development in speed and camera quality.
Also I was a monthly supporter of UBports since the very early beginning.
Now I am out and better using up to date Android devices.
I bought a year ago a Galaxy S8 and my wife just recently a Galaxy S9. Those devices are mind blowing fast and have perfect photo + video quality. Yes it's Android spyware and I don't like it, but unfortunately, that's the price I need to pay. 
Guess what? You can use it for calling too....
If I need a phone for texting and calling only, I don't need a smartphone, I can use my old phones...
If there will be one day powerful hardware for UBports I am back.
@flohack said in Can't use cellular data because of invalid IMEI:
maybe a case for @WLBI
A cese for me? 
Well, in my BQ M10 Tab, the IMEI was also gone and I need to enter the WiFI password after reboot, when I want to connect again to the same WIFI.
The problem was, the NVRAM was broken. I contact BQ and I can send my old device to them. They replaced it with a new one. It was was warranty case after 1 1/2 years.
Edit: The IMEI was not gone, it was:: 0123456789ABCDEF
@flohack
How would it be, if it is not a super technical changelog, and just some short things. For example:
Bug battery drain fixed
HDMI output working
Added keyboard layouts GR, FR
If I am searching in Google, I can not find a changelog for Ubports.
I really have no idea, what's going on in the different updates.
