I've already tried to install ubuntu-sdk on my system (I'm on kubuntu) but never succeeded. It takes a lot of time to install/deinstall/reinstall the sdk and is no fun at all. First time I tried, I was on kubuntu 16.04. I came as far as having a working IDE, but the emulator just hung. After the upgrade to 16.10 I am really stuck. ubuntu-sdk crashes on startup, and qtcreator is gone. So not only it is not working, it also messed up my system. But hey, I have a Ubuntu Phone, so life is great! Cheers, Hans-Peter PS: Where is the right place to ask for help fixing the sdk? -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : ubuntu-phone@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Hi Michael, I've just subscribed to the bug and marked it as 'affects me too'. I recognized, the status of the bug ls 'invalid'. Should it be like this? Hans-Peter Gesendet: Donnerstag, 22.

If this is the case it narrows down to either the reliability of the UK 3G network or an issue with my handset. I do keep meaning to try using unav on my tablet using my phone as a hotspot.

I too maintain that the Dialer and Contacts app ought to either be one

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] is this a new calendar app (-version) ?
Hi of course everyone has their own idea of what is a critical bug. But the lack of holidays support in a calendar app might be seen as a critical bug by many people (as I do). Regarding the slick calendar app image, I think it is cynical to pubish something like that, when realization is not in sight and on the other hand the existing calendar app lacks basic functionality. People who saw the image and decide to buy an ubuntu phone might consider this as fraud. Regards, Hans-Peter Gesendet: Dienstag, 08.

Sorry to say but syncing multiple calendars isn't critical. Examples of things on a phone which people might consider critical:- * Things which cause user data to be deleted * Bugs which mean customers can't boot the phone * Inability to answer/make phone calls ..and so on. Multiple calendars is a feature enhancement. We're currently using Evolution for our calendar syncing back-end, and this has never supported multi-calendar Google sync. It's new work that someone needs to do to make happen. With all the other things, this just took a slightly lower priority. It's on the list and will get done though. We have a small team working on this though, don't feel like we don't want to fix it. > I have been using Ubuntu on my phone as main driver for about or more than 2 > years now. > I have never, in that time been so disappointed by the lack of interest to > fix a critical bug like this > There is interest, just lack of resource.

Hi to All I don't get notifications if new mail arrives in my gmail mailbox. I'm pretty sure, I got them when the phone was new (around OTA7). gmail is still enabled in system settings/notifications.

[Ubuntu-phone] music app drains battery since OTA-8
I just filed a bug report on launchpad, because music app drains battery, even if it is inactive. This is the bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dialer-app/+bug/1521106 I was not able to file the bug against package music-app, even if this was listed in the choose dialogue. When submitting the bug report, I got an error: Invalid package. I chose "I don't know' then. Now the bug is filed against dialer-app ?? It would be great if someone could assign this to the correct package.

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Great improvements with OTA-8
I'd absolutely like to second that. Many thanks to all the guys and gals who put this together. However, there is one thing I recognized with OTA-8: This is when you select a favourite contact from the today scope. The image shown is scaled to the width of the screen. This is fine if the image is in landscape mode, but when the image is in portrait mode, the buttons get pushed out of the screen. You have to scroll down to access them (that is on a 4.5 bq aquaris).
