Hi!

I have a problem with my Bluetooth helmet headset (Cardo Freecom 1+) using with VollaX23, it pairs fine and I am able to stream audio, but there is no sound or mic input when making calls. Unit works fine with android phone, also other bluetooth headsets work fine during calls.

Here is dbus log:

It seems like to switch correctly to HSP and when receiving calls the headset sounds incoming call sound. But when call is answered there is no sound, I can switch to phone or even speaker and it works fine, only the headset seems to be muted during calls.

Pulseaudio log displays only

library "libsndcardparser.so" not found. 

Thanks in advance and any help is greatly appreciated.

Has anyone succeeded in getting the Calendar to connect to iCloud as a general CalDAV account?

I've set it up in System Settings > Accounts on my OnePlus Nord N10 running 24.04-1.x daily.

In the Calendar app, I've clicked on Add online Calendar and selected the Account I set up.

The first time I click on the refresh button in the Calendar app (the button third from the right in the upper right), an alert comes up that the sync has finished. The calendar shown remains blank and the refresh button now has a red exclamation.

When I click on the refresh again, an alert pops up that says Sync error.

I do have an app-specific password and I use this configuration information on other systems, such as my Linux desktop (in Thunderbird).

TIA.

I am trying to install Ubuntu Touch on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 with Ubports. Ubports recognises the device and starts flashing it. After flashing is almost finished, the device boots into UBports recovery and at the bottom of the screen is the following written: failed to save locale to cache recovery last locale no such file or directory. I can try whatever option on the menu, it always boots back to this UBports recovery or another menu or Fastboot. What can I do to get UBports to install Ubuntu Touch?

"Robust, slim, strong Successor to the Volla Phone X23"
8/128 GB for Plinius
12/256 GB for Plinius Plus
In both cases "expandable by up to 1 TB with MicroSD memory card"

As usual available with VollaOS or Ubuntu Touch or both with multiboot

"Save up to 15% with the code PLINIUS":

https://volla.online/en/volla-phone-plinius/

Those Volla Plinius are clearly linked to the GS6 and GS6 PRO from Gigaset:
https://www.gigaset.com/hq_en/gigaset-gs6/
Regarding the hardware two differences though for Plinius Plus versus GS6 PRO are 12GB of RAM/ 8GB and the Plinius Plus back with Pogo PIN.
As usual, the software is what most differentiates the Volla from the Gigaset, with VollaOS, Ubuntu Touch, multiboot and other softwares and services integrated by Volla.

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?

Hello,

With the next calendar-app release coming, a bunch of new strings are waiting to be translated, thanks for looking into it:

I've replicated what follows from the Telegram Supergroup, as that's no place to collect observations from people using a variety of phones. Hopefully some patterns will emerge that inspire improvements.

I have a Nexus5 and, since 16.04, regularly get over 24hrs from the battery. OTOH I have noticed that there are (still) issues:

1. Sometimes it gets to a state that "eats" battery very quickly when not in use. Shutting down (which, in this state often need two tries before the screen goes fully black) and rebooting seems to fix this.

2. Closing Telegram manually when not in use (and not relying on the "lifecycle" suspend) reduces battery usage noticeably.

I don't think I should have to use the tweak tool to add the battery % to the indicators and monitor it, but I cope. I've not yet had headspace for any serious digging into what's going on.

In any case, battery drains too quickly when in use. Luckily my usage isn't heavy.

Edit: A bit more on my usage pattern:

WiFi and Bluetooth are off when not being used. And overnight is in "flight mode".

WiFi is invariably for "hotspot" and the phone doesn't last the half-full "working day" I need. So it is plugged into power. (OK, as I'll have a laptop battery for that.)

Bluetooth also increases drain, but not enough to worry me for the typical podcast-length use I make of it during a day.

Edit 2: Having a few more details I've reported issue 1.

Hi,
thank you for your # attention and support with the current # degoogle steps.
Can this tablet:

Lenovo P10

##########

• Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 (SDM450), 8x 1.80GHz (ARM Cortex-A53)
• 3GB LPDDR3 Onboard
• 1x microSD
• 1x USB-C 2.0
• Wi-Fi 5 (WLAN 802.11a/​b/​g/​n/​ac, 1x1), Bluetooth 4.2
• Akku

be flashed with this UBTouch image and then used as a Linux smart device similar to the Ubuntu Touch M10?
I have no experience with Ubuntu Touch or porting to other smart devices or other IoT devices. If this model still runs on Linux, I could continue to use it wonderfully and would like to try to gather all the information I can in this thread. Please answer this for me and feel free to provide links and other information that can be found on the web.

Cya!
Thank you very much and goodbye.

On 20 January 2026, Thailand government conducted a nationwide cell broadcast test. I've put my Ubuntu Touch devices to the test, and here are test results:

This requires some explanation:

• MR 34 refers to ofono-sailfish!34 which fixes how oFono dumps the raw CBS SMS from the network in case oFono fails to decode it.
• "Broad topic subscription" refers to me setting the subscribed topics beyond what is possible in Ubuntu Touch UI. Ubuntu Touch UI uses a hardcoded subset of CB topics, which does not include all topics I know exists for Thailand. More importantly, it does not include topic 4370 (National Alert) which supposedly should be always enabled.
• "Msg info" is pulled from my Android phone running Android 16, designated as the reference device which should always receive this CB.
• My Volla Phone 22 have a non-Thai SIM in it, and my Volla Phone X23 have a non-Thai and expired SIM in it. That's because that's all SIM I own...

There are a few notable things in this result:

• Interestingly, even though Fairphone 5 does not have "4370" topic subscribed in oFono, it still receives a broadcast with topic "4370". This may indicates that FP5's firmware does always subscribe to topic 4370.
• On the other hand, Volla Phone 22 which also does not have "4370" topic subscribed, does not receive the broadcast. Although, the SIM card I have in this device is actually a non-Thai one. So it's not clear if this device doesn't not receive a broadcast because the topic was not subscribed or because the device is in roaming mode.
  • In theory. roaming-ness should not affect the ability to receive broadcast. In practice, I don't know.
  • In hindsight, I should have swapped my Volla Phone Quintus to not have "broad topic subscription" and put it on my Volla Phone 22 instead, so it's clear what failure mode affects it.
• On both devices that does not receive broadcast, I do not see an indication in the log that it has received a broadcast but cannot decode it.

I still maintain that we'll need a CB topic database from e.g. Android and should not not rely on hardcoded set of topics from a non-regional specification. Unfortunately, the test today is inconclusive on whether we need to explicitly subscribe to topic "4370" or not.

That's it for today. I'll continue to watch the news and be prepared when the next round of testing happens.

is there a way to flash ubuntu touch to my fire tab 9th gen like is there a device that is supported by ubports that has the same components as my fire tab?

Hello,

Is the logo available as SVG somewhere? It could be useful for wikipedia pages. Especially this page:

https://liliputing.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/ubuntu-touch.jpg

Thank you

Ever since upgrading to 24.04:

When enabling the app it gives the message "Error".

The last lines of the log read:

25.02.26 10:25] Cannot write to ‘/etc/hosts.blocklist’ (Success).
[25.02.26 10:25] pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root

Same issue is reported on OpenStore but on https://github.com/LiohMoeller/uAdBlockNG/issues there is no issues mentioned.

Am I missing something? Is there a workaround?

TIA!

I've seen that some apps do their translations in this Weblate site:

https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/ubports/#components

Can I add an app that I manage in the Openstore to this site? And if so, how?

I have used Ubtouch for several years, but I have a reoccuring problem that keeps coming back: Sometimes people complain in phonecalls that they have difficulties to understand. The sound quality becomes choppy or at least far away from 'crystal clear'. I can hear them well. It can start after a minute or two, or it could come anytime. I'm not on the move, but sitting in the same spot during the entire call. Rebooting the phone sometimes helps. In the past I have thought it could be because of second hand or old phones, but now I have a Fairphone 4 with a fresh install. Where should I start troubleshooting?

I have a bq Aquaris E5 FHD, and i cant find any build, like not even Canonical's one, ive even searched in https://system-image.ubports.com/ im desperate! And its not like i can just go to the website and search it, because bq went out of buisness! So if someone has a link to the zip file with the images and the MTK scatter file, it would help a lot! You can't do much with Android Lollipop.
Just a reminder to anyone helping: I specifically need the FHD (1080p) version, not the HD (720p). The HD files use the MT6582 scatter, while my FHD model needs the MT6592 scatter. Using the wrong one will result in a hang/bootloop in the bq screen, thanks!

Hello all,

It's been almost a year since last calendar-app release...
We plan to release a new version after 24.04.1.2 and 20.04 OTA11

Amongst many translation updates, this version contains bug fixes and new features:
For the complete list, see commits started from 2025/05/27:
https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-calendar-app/-/commits/main?author=Lionel Duboeuf

Bug fixes should be the closed tickets since 9 months: https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-calendar-app/-/issues?sort=updated_desc&state=closed&first_page_size=50

New features:

• Be able to create/remove local calendars
• Set minutes in working hours
• Make links in description clickable
• Link to default reminder alarm sound setting
• Smoother experience

How to test:
Some fixes only apply if you are on current RC of 20.04 or 24.04, but most should work on stable.
Download this file and open it with OpenStore : https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-calendar-app/-/jobs/13104368154/artifacts/raw/build/aarch64-linux-gnu/app/calendar.ubports_1.1.4-88-g75d22242_arm64.click
It will replace the stable version with the beta.
You can always go back to current stable version of calendar-app via OpenStore ( Installed apps->stable version available )

Happy testing

I recently rebooted up my UB touch phone (Oneplus 3)
However there's no updates for it. And I can't see any new installs on the site.

It feels like the store is even more sparse than I remember when I was using it as a daily driver.

I'm taking it I'm on an unsupported version of UB touch? Under About it says the OS is Ubuntu 16.04 (OTA-25)

So a bunch of questions really

• Is there an updated UB touch for Oneplus 3 or do I need to buy a new phone like the OnePlus Nord N100?

• What is the best pdf reader on UB touch? I've been using Sturm reader which is quite nice but nowhere near as functional as the android app which provides highlighting, books marks, ability to export bookmarks..

• Which is the best phone for the best experience of UB touch?

Just installed ubuntu touch with the latest stable version
Sadly the wifi only shows previous network
The wifi worked fine on android
the wifi doesn't turn on either
is there a fix ?

hello,
I know that the Sony Xperia X is not maintained today.
But, since we can use it with the UT 24.04, do you think there is any chance to make the FM radio works now ? Does it change somthing ?

Hello,
view weeks ago I started to switch from Android (Calyx OS) to Ubuntu Touch.
I use my smartphone also as a freelancer and need to relay on it.
I tried few Navigation Apps and Organic Maps works at its best for me. It is, in a good way, simple, to use.

I wrote to them, if they like to adapted it to UT.

I have no idea in programming, but I wanted to share the answer:

"Hi O.....

We would love to support the development of OM for UT more actively, but our resources are very limited. With enough donations or active contributors/developers the situation may change.

There's already the cross-platform C++ core, only the good UI should be developed on top of it (although it's a lot of work…)

What are your thoughts/ideas on that?

With best regards,
