Ubuntu on phones now receive initial VoLTE support

If you are using one of the supported Ubuntu Phone devices, such as a Volla 22 (contains a MediaTek Helio G85 SoC) or a Fairphone 5 (contains a Qualcomm QCM6490 SoC), you can now use VoLTE on your device.

The necessary modifications for both SoC vendors have been added to both the Noble Numbat version and the Focal Fossa version so that VoLTE works on these devices that have Ubuntu Touch installed. However, for other phones, such as Xiaomi and Google Pixel phones, it’s on the developer who created the port to modify it so that it works with VoLTE.

While they have tested the functionality with both high-quality voice calls and SMS messages, they have reported issues when working with MMS. In the status bar, if your phone shows VoLTE, this means that you can have high-quality voice calls.

In order to try out VoLTE support, you must make sure that:

• your phone is running the latest version of Ubuntu Touch,
• your phone supports VoLTE, and
• your carrier and your cellular plan support VoLTE.

Ubuntu Touch VoLTE support rollout begins, starting from Fairphone 5 and Volla 22.

2)Proveďte registraci na stránkách lidl
3)Po přihlášení jděte do Panďulák (Profil, nebo také "Můj Lidl")->Zákaznický servis->vyhledejte "Kontaktní formulář"->Napsat teď
4)V seznamu vyberte "Aplikace Lidl Plus/Lidl Pay" a v rolovátku "Ostatní"->Do zprávy náhodný text->V dalším kroku je už vidět předvyplněné ID karty

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]

This is some bs. If AOSP development is made less publicly accessible it does NOT " simplify things for developers" but rather it hinders it for de-googled privacy respecting ROMs and their device ports. The need for continued and ramped up efforts developing alternative mobile OS's, like Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish OS, Droidian, Mobian, Postmarket, etc. is even more apparent with this move by Google.

For those who heard me cry after successfully fix my watch because I lost its charging cable:

I finally found the charging cable for my #PebbleTimeSteel and it is currently charging, Yay \o/

What is more #nostalgia for you :

→ The #pebble charging animation ?

→ The old #UbuntuTouch phone ads music in the background :D ?

NB: I am now using a #Fairphone5 running Ubuntu Touch with my #PebbleTimeSteel paired !

#RecycledToot #Ubuntu #smartwatch #ubports #PebbleOS #rebble CC: @ubports @rebble

in an attempt to achieve the highest app compatibility known to man, i ended up writing a daemon that allows to install, configure and run #UbuntuTouch applications on our beloved #flx1 and it actually turned out pretty nice.

this is yet another service/client setup where now the store server is refactored to work alongside android-store (used to install android apps) to lower memory usage and the client is a #GNOME software plugin

DeltaTouch 1.14.0 is out, bringing the message editing, deleting and bookmarking features that were recently released for the official #DeltaChat apps

welp thats two for two.

hopefully we can have #sailfishos with VoLTE on release too very soon

ah yes i should add, if anyone is interested in bringing their distro feel free to contact us through our contact form (https://furilabs.com/contact/), and we will be happy to consider all requests if they help grow the ecosystem with more *mobile linux* options

Messing around on my #ubuntutouch device today #UBports @ubports #ubuntu #linux

I just deployed a new version of https://disco2very.org which includes updated data from #ademe as well as the "Practical use cases" category.

It's also packaged for #ubuntutouch by @ubports if you want: https://open-store.io/app/disco2very.flaburgan

I still have an issue with the drag&drop of cards which is not as smooth as it should, but once fixed we should not be too far from a 1.0 version

as some might recall, we were working on a feature to allow multi booting different systems easily and without any hassle ( partitioning etc).

around that time we started to get in contact with known porters of different systems such as #UbuntuTouch and #sailfishos

after much effort and work, i can confidently say that the #flx1 will be added to the #UBports installer and OTA server soon allowing allow bare metal and multi boot installs!
