@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-client

That 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.

@Lakotaubp Thanks for the info, I'll have a look.

@Lakotaubp Ah, sorry about that. Restarted mine and it's still doing it. Guess that means it may be a bug?

I'm just a user, not very technical, but if it needs a bug report filing I will give it a go. It may take some time as I'll need to research the how to's, but should be ok.

Anyway, the problem is only a minor annoyance, nothing serious.

@Lakotaubp Thanks. You seem always to be there!!!

I'm going to try turning it right off for a while. Probably won't change anything but you never know...

I've just installed ubuntu touch on a Nexus 7 bought on ebay. All went fairly smoothly with the installer but I've noticed a strange little problem that I could use some help with, if possible.

With the device in standby, screen black, it will occasionally light up with the log in screen and after about 7 seconds return to standby again. This happens with the device just sat there, undisturbed, and seems to happen about every six minutes or so; sometimes it does it twice in short succession.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this or where I should look to find the root of the problem?

@randomuser Ah, thank you for the link. I thought I had read all there was to read about OTA-7. Obviously not!!

And now you mention it, I remember OTA-6 was staged as well; I received it after about 5 days from the first release date.

BQ Aquaris E4.5 phone and M10FHD tablet on Ubuntu 16.04 OTA6 Stable have not received the latest OTA-7. I've tried restarting and checking for updates to no avail.

I decided to switch channels on the phone and get updates that way then switch back to stable. Is this ok? I notice on the phone in System Settings, About it now describes Ubuntu 16.04 as : (2018-W01) instead of the OTA number.

I have not done anything with the tablet just yet.

@tera Thanks for the info, that will save a few pennies!

Has anyone successfully connected the BQ E4.5 (running ubports ota-5) to a monitor with hdmi? I've trawled the forum but cannot seem to find an instance that specifically answers this question.

Closest I got was this thread https://forums.ubports.com/topic/1819/howto-convergence-nexus5/6 which has led me to suspect that if connection is possible, then the type of cable is important; it must be slimport.

I've tried a couple of adapters so far. First one turned out to be a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter and did not fit E4.5. I did find that it worked for the M10 tablet though in the port next to the charging port. Second one was micro usb to hdmi adapter with MHL logo on it. The plug fits the phone, but monitor does not work with it.https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07C4JPY3P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't want to gamble on a slightly more expensive slimport adapter to find that doesn't work either!
