tried it today at the same spot it worked last time

gave it up after 15 minutes, as per my understanding I did exactly the same thing but it just did not work today

@Keneda
yes, tried it a few times with unav with the same outcome

but today it found me in 3 (three) minutes, that makes me thinking that all ephemerides were quite uo-to-date and it did not work for some other obscure reason

the whole point of this thread is to say that geolocation is that obscure process with certain failure rate (quite high for me) and there is little one can observe about it

will check it next day to see what happens

For sure, this is what I get without Waydroid. In fact I stopped using Waydroid primarily because it breaks GPS.

Tried GPS location two times today under apparently clear sky in wide open area. Both times it did not succeed in locating me in somewhat 30 minutes.

I know it will occasionally work, but would help if there is any trick to know in advance if it is going to work or not without the need of waiting that long.

This is the usual scenario of geolocating on my phone. I open maps in Morph, geolocation sign highlights in notification bar, and I wait for 15 minutes. in a while it either starts showing my position, or I give up.

Suppose it all went well and it found the geoposition. But in couple days when I need it again, I would expect it to have more or less up-to-date ephemerides, but what I see is the same waiting for 15 minutes with some success chances.

On the other hand it happens often that it does not show my position in 15 minutes. I understand it may take longer, but since the whole process is quite obscure, there are high chances it will never show anything for me (I tried waiting for >1 hour with no success).

Any tricks to have GPS less painful?

filled in one more to be sure

indeed seems like this one is relevant https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/2039

@Caedem strange thing, the tick is not set neither for "launcher" nor for "notifications and quick settings", nevertheless SMS messages are shown on a pop-up notifications while the screen is locked

Hi,

Can I hide notification messages on a locked screen?

It's worrisome for many services allow password reset or passwordless login with random SMS codes.

Funny WiFi search only shows some of available networks, have to Disable/Enable WiFi (probably more than once) to make it update the list with the one I need.

Got my Wireguard connection imported with nmcli. Now it is natively supported. Works perfect.

Unable to switch to developer mode. Slider turns green, but after I go back to main setting menu and check developer mode again - it is off. It is off after reboot either.

Nothing too important so far.

AppStore updates are freezing. It lists applications to update, one touches "yes, please update", it does the thing but the application is still in available updates list. It refreshes after reboot, no other my actions helped.

Display does not rotate 180 in portrait (bottom-up orientation), I used it when camera "eye" was in place of some notifications.

Good thing, love it.
"What's new" looks plainly user-friendly, feel good since the moment I saw it.

No issues, will keep you posted

thank you, the app does not work for me on volla x, will check indicators in /sys...

Hi,

USB-hub shows charging current all the time for my phone. Even if it looks like fully charged, some low current still flows:

• ~0.5 A for wireless charger
• ~0.1 A for cable

My guess is that Qi has a poor efficiency so that the phone battery should actually gets the same 0.1 A.
But 0.1 A during a sleep mode is more than I expected.

Do you have the same sleep mode discharging for Volla X?
Any good way I can get some charging/discharging metrics on the device itself?

Hi,

After adb shell if I type a long command, cursor goes to the left on the same line (overwriting things), then it goes lines up damaging text in a terminal buffer.

I did not spend much on the issue but tried some guesses like resizing terminal emulator window somehow, export COLUMNS= LINES= reset, alternative shells (mksh, fizsh), but did not find anything useful yet.

What do you use to comfortably type in commands through adb shell?

was lucky to find the parameter on https://askubuntu.com/questions/760142/how-to-install-ubuntu-sdk-on-ubuntu-touch

for some reason Xmir -help does not show the parameter, neither it looks like anything important

desktop_file_hint did the trick, can be taken from the available ones if you do not care much:

Xmir -mirSocket "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mir_socket" --desktop_file_hint=dialer-app -debug -rootless

also note mir_socket is from phablet run-directory

PS
it depends on application, but xeyes in particular is better without -rootless

@kugiigi which desktop file? I literally run "Xmir" and "xeyes" binaries as shown

Hi,

how to run Xmir properly without Libertine?

$ Xmir -debug -mirSocket /run/mir_socket -rootless -flatten -neverclose
