Hi,

I am user of BQ Aquaris E5, which is my actually first ever smart phone,
and I am deeply saddened that Canonical had to end Ubuntu Phone project.
I am very thankful for them for creating this awesome, free operating
system for smart phones, with convergence with Desktop, which I am
really not ready to leave it in the drawer. Big thanks to them!

I have discovered that UBports project, which is continuing Ubuntu Phone
developing, has Patreon site [0] to collect funds for it's development,
and for the main goal they set to have full time developer working on
system we love.

I am encouraging you to consider funding UBports by becoming patreons to
help them continue Ubuntu Phone development.

There are actually lot's of free software projects and their supporting
organizations that needs our money too, may it be Debian and Ubuntu, or
maybe Free Software, Document and Linux Foundations, but these mentioned
have already their stones set, meanwhile UBports really needs a
kickstart (pun intended? :-) ).

Thanks for hearing.

NAK. Me and my family run three BQ E4.5 OTA-15 devices as the daily
phone, I since April 2015, my wife for moths and my son now too. All do
fine, apart of smaller issues (like Dekko not saving sent mail to IMAP
Sent folder, and the like).

I run my device in addition all days 18 hours as Wifi AP
to Internet for my FreeBSD netbook and have never problems with
this. Using web browser for listening audio life streams, reading mail
and sending with Dekko, Telegram, uNav with OpenStreetMap offline tiles ...
these are more or less my daily use case. 


Overall a fine device!

I have a BQ E5 as my only phone for about a year and a half now. In that 
time I've had only very minor annoyances. Then about a month ago it 
starting acti g out a little (problems with keyboard, loss of signal). I 
wiped it and broughed it back to factory setting and now it's working even 
better than it did out of the box! It seems every phone has its own story.

I see your point and you're right.

if in the coming months/years, 
Ubuntu were to stop building 32bits images and only go for 
64bit, would we read something like "Canonical is ditching 
Ubuntu"? I know it's not exactly the same thing, but I hope you 
get my point.


Most certenly.

Sorry if I assumed you did not read the article. As you may 
have seen in the commentaries, many people didn't and stopped at 
the title. Why put a comment on an article that you don't read… 
well, that's beyond me, but many people do. And it has probably 
been a problem for Joey since he's closed comments and changed 
the title (the new one is better IMHO). I hope people have been 
nicer to him than last time, for his work is really important…


Anyway, sorry if you felt I was snapping at you!


No hard feelings. Things often looks different on print.


Have a nice day!


Same to you ;)

Please, read the article and not just the title. It says that

Joey published another article along with the one you mention

Dekko (which is great, as far as I can tell after a few hours 
playing with it).


I agree that the title is misleading. Maybe something like 
"Dekko Will Get "No Further Updates" on Phone" would have been 
more appropriate? Because Dekko is getting further updates, only 
not in the click package format.



Guillaume



As I understood the conversation we were talking about Dekko ON THE PHONE 
in other words as 'click'. And THAT is not being continued -right?


By the way I DID read the article. My fault was just asuming to mouch on 
others behalf... sorry.

Coming to think of it, I believe it's been a LONG time since the last

when I first got my phone, getting told it was a high priority issue,
but it's still not there.



As far as I can see, reading OMGubuntu.uk, dekko is no longer being

No issues working on my desktop Ubuntu setup today, however have had to

flawlessly with both devices yesterday, and fine about 10 minutes ago from 
my desktop machine.


Appreciate any troubleshooting help that can be offered.

Sorry if I offended in some way. The reason I talk about devices is the 
fact of UT not working exactly the same way
on all devices. Knowing what devices might work could give hints about how 
to solve the problem... or so I thoughed.

Well yes, so I've heard. I've also heard of a lot of other issues people 
have with UT but never had any of them myself. Only minor annoyences... 
I got the headset of the Internet a couple of years ago and it wasn't

I've never had any problems connecting the phone to the car or the headset.

[Ubuntu-phone] privacy issue concerning phone-dailer-reciver software

[Tom Rausner]

Hi All.

There is one function I miss very mouch for privacy reasons in the
dialer-reciver software. What I want is at "blacklisting"-option.

I want to be able to block specific phone numbers from getting through
but I also want to block callers who don't show their number.

Reason is this; where I live there is a lot of people who try to sell
stuff, beg for donations or right out abuse people's accounts. I'm want
all that stopped.

instead I want to reroute these calls to a custom mp3-file saying...
what ever I want to say to them. It would be nice if I could attach a
specific mp3-file to each number and a file specific to those calling
without showing their number. Nice feature -eh!

Hi

The past few days I have not been able to use either of these apps on my 
bq4.5E because they have been crashing in the launch process.


At first, I thought I had too many open tabs in the browser, but closing 
the tabs had no effect. 

Then, I thought maybe the browser history needed to be deleted. I did not, 
however, find any way to do this (except deleting row by row individually). 
Hitting the reset browser option hat no effect.


Then, I discovered the same problem in Dekko.

I decided to shut down and reboot the phone and voilà, everything now 
works!


Annoying, but not critical.

I should also mention that I rarely switch off the phone. It can run for 
weeks without a reboot.


I am assuming there is one or more issues that someone might be interested 
in.

Ari


I've notised this bug too. Do anybody know if a bug has been filed on this,

[Ubuntu-phone] Printing from ubuntu-phablet... again

1. Email;

Hi all.

I just want to know if printing from phone and tablet is in progress and
if; how far is it from being implemented ?


Tom

2. Email;

It is in progress, the core parts are working but we are waiting for UI
design and implementation so still a ways out.

The UI design for printing has been done since February 2014, with
changes only to notifications and error design since then.


If you really are waiting for UI design, please let me know why.

Thanks

Now I would like to know IF anything useful has happened since then
(like the coding guys and the design guys starting to cooperate) ?
