What do you mean by "default build"? I'm on rc-proposed on mako and 22 is open on 0.0.0.0. I don't believe I've done anything to cause this. Disabling the developer mode doesn't make it go away. The service identifies itself as SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.7p1 Ubuntu-5ubuntu1.4. It looks like it doesn't accept ssh password logins, but the port should still be closed by default. To fix for now I opened the terminal and ran `sudo service ssh stop`, the port is no longer open. But I'm guessing it will start again when the phone is rebooted. -- 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

I take the 100% number back. But talking about phones (different use case from tablets entirely) specifically, I wasn't sure Meizu Pro 5 accounted for 20% of all existing phone devices; I'd thought that number would be somewhere in a single digit percentage. Are you counting % against available device models, or % of physical devices currently in the hands of users? Regardless, assuming the Meizu Pro 5 will continue to receive 64-bit/snap updates (which I haven't officially seen confirmed either), the rest of the statement - potentially alienating 80% of phone users - stands. On a personal side note, I really enjoy Qt+QML development, but my choices are - a Meizu Pro 5 degraded coverage (radio frequencies) from an unreputable online seller in $300-$500 range, or another refurbished/used mako which won't be updated. It feels like I've been backed into a corner. -- 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

In my mind, this logic makes complete sense, as it does for Ubuntu i386 example, if most devices on the market are 64-bit and it is of very little benefit to support older hardware via official channels. In fact, Ubuntu has indeed officially supported i386 concurrently with 64-bit during many years of transition. As for Ubuntu Touch phones, since 100% of existing phone devices are 32-bit, there are no 64-bit phones even being planned (at least publicly), wiping 32-bit future official support outright alienates the core power users and developers - i.e. pretty much everyone - in a frustrating way. Sure, community could decide to backport Ubuntu Touch updates to legacy phones (has anyone volunteered/committed to doing so?), or they could decide to move on and do something else completely different instead with their time. I guess personally for me, MWC is the last glimmer of hope - a miracle announcement of a modern 64-bit dev phone to replace mako, but I don't know how much I'd be willing to bet on that. -- 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

[Ubuntu-phone] Broken nexus 4, phone recommendations?
Hello list, Few days ago I dropped my Nexus 4 which rendered the bottom portion of the screen to no longer recognize swipes. I use my phone as - my main phone (email, phone, contacts, texts, RSS, music including bluetooth, podcasts, etc.) - development device for casual development (I have 1 small app) - tethering device for my laptop (USB tether) I also enjoyed relative stability and bleeding edge combination by being on rc-proposed channel but now I can't use significant functionality of many apps because of the broken screen. Should I: - get another Nexus 4 - get Nexus 5 - get Meizu MX5 android version - wait to see if there are any announcements during MWC in February - give up on Ubuntu Touch device for now I'm in the USA, using T-Mobile network (so not sure about Meizu). What would you recommend - what would you do? Request: please don't turn this into another roadmap discussion thread; I'm genuinely curious what people would suggest I do.

Hello list, I'm on mako rc-proposed. I remember awhile (few weeks?) ago I was able to view large/full images by tapping smaller MMS previews in Messaging app thread view. Then from there I could zoom in/out/save/etc. Tapping on MMS image previews no longer has any effect, however. I've tried this on multiple contacts threads - the behavior is the same for both sent and received MMS images. I don't know exactly when it broke. Is anyone else experiencing this issue, or possibly has a workaround or a solution to get the full image view back?

[Ubuntu-phone] Icon/artwork to link to app store + redirect behavior
Hello list, I finally published my first app to the app store this weekend. I was looking for a good way to link from the website to the store, but I couldn't find any kind of recommended artwork or HTML snippet to do so. So this is what I ended up doing - https://bartist.org (button at the bottom) Would it make sense to have: - some icons/artwork and/or HTML snippet that says "get it on Ubuntu Touch" or something similar to Google play and Apple's app store that many websites have: see here - https://www.bart.gov/schedules/appcenter for a bunch of them - a redirector on the Canonical server side that either goes to the app in the store (if using an Ubuntu device) or shows a web page for all other traffic On the other hand, maybe that's a feature for uappexplorer since the official store doesn't have any web interface [yet]?

No, I'm using ActivityIndicator and it's working fine for me. I'm on the

[Ubuntu-phone] Tethering with Nexus 4 mako
Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has figured out how to use Nexus 4 (mako) for tethering the internet connection. These are the options as I see them: 1. Wifi tether: some time ago I got a response on IRC that it's blacklisted because it doesn't work on mako; and I confirm that I see no such option in settings. 2. USB tether: I change USB mode in TweakGeek from media to network; connect to laptop using USB cable; my Ubuntu 16.04 recognizes network device, tries to establish network connection for few minutes and eventually gives up. 3. Bluetooth tethering: I don't know how that's possible at all. So, has anyone succeeded in any way? Or do bugs already exist (I couldn't find them) for these features?
