@trainailleur Ah, thanks for the upvote. Although I'm not exactly forum savvy so I'm not sure what all the upvote, downvote stuff is for!
However, the forum is a great resource for help whenever one runs into problems with UT and it reassuring knowing that there is always help at hand when one needs it.
@rdrowe You're welcome. I thought 'the purchaser' might be seen here at some point!
See the listing on ebay for more information...

It sold already!
@UniSuperBox Thanks, I'll post a link under another heading when I've got the ad sorted.
I'm going to be selling a device running UT on a UK website.
I was wondering whether it would be acceptable to post more information here?
I would not want to advertise directly on the forum.
@jumpy88 This is new territory for me but following the user guide in the docs I did this...
On E4.5 I enabled developer mode
connected to pc via usb
open terminal on phone and run command to enable rndis which returned confirmation rndis enabled.
On pc I ran the command at Step 2 in the docs
This returned an IP address and a lot of numbers and I'm not too sure about going much further at the moment!
I would be happy to try to take this further later today, but as Lakotaubp says, it would probably be best to continue in a new thread, in the Support category.
@jumpy88 Hi. I bought the E4.5 ubuntu edition in 2015 as my first smartphone but by 2017 I had put it away in a drawer! I found it too unreliable, I was missing calls and this was my only phone. In 2018 I took it out again and flashed it to android following instructions on the BQ website at that time; I wanted to help my daughter whose phone had broken. As it turned out she didn't need it!
Anyway, this was when I discovered ubports. I used the installer to get ubuntu touch on the phone and haven't looked back. It was great then and it's even better now - you are going to really like it! If you have any problems there is all the support you could possibly need in the fantastic ubports community to help you.
Good luck and enjoy!
I want to help with this call for testing and I've already made a start with my Nexus7, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right! I'm not very technical , not really familiar with GitHub, but I'm a big fan of UBPorts, ubuntu touch and ubuntu generally and want to make some sort of contribution.
So I've set the Nexus 7 to the rc channel and tested a few things in the list on the OTA-8 tracker and posted the results as a comment directly at the bottom of the issue page on github. Is that the right place to post the feedback?
Also, are you asking for testing of the QA issues regardless of device type? What I mean is should I just go down the list and try each issue in turn? Would it be useful to do this also with my M10 and E4.5?

@arubislander Yes I have installed Dekko 2 but I habitually close all apps before going into standby. Would it be worth uninstalling Dekko (tomorrow) and seeing if the problem persists?
No need for such drastic measures. What you could do though is open the Terminal app and after typing
$ stop ubuntu-push-clientThat should stop Dekko from checking for notifications until you reboot the device.
Alternatively, you could disable all notifications for the Dekko app in the System Settings and see if that helps.
I tried both of those measures one at a time but no difference; tablet still wakes up intermittently.

This bug is already reported: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/291
There is another report linking it to the sync of the contacts and calendar, but I'm not able to find that one right now...
The bug report indicated that turning off wifi would stop this behaviour and it does, which is useful. I tried turning off notifications for calendar for a while but that made no difference.
