[Touch-packages] [Bug 1838151] Re: Poor quality audio with modern Bluetooth headsets in HSP/HFP. Missing wide band speech support (Bluetooth A2DP codecs).
While waiting for the next LTS version of Ubuntu I was able to fix the mic issue on 20.04 by installing pipewire (followed this guide https://askubuntu.com/questions/1330395/newly-installed- ubuntu-20-04-bluetooth-headset-sound-and-mic-not-working/1340889#1340889 except I installed wireplumber instead of media session as the latter one was not able to remember the chosen profile) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1838151 Title: Poor quality audio with modern Bluetooth headsets in HSP/HFP.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1346355] Re: 14.04 power-cog does not turn red when restart is needed
I was also surprised that such a neat and sweat solution was replaced by the disturbing popup window :( ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid = Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1346355 Title: 14.04 power-cog does not turn red when restart is needed Status in The Session Menu: Invalid Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Bug = a popup-dialog asking the user to reboot the system after an update should not repeat (popup again) at a later time if the user chooses not to reboot. Instead, the power-cog should turn the color red and no further popup-dialogs should present at any time. In ubuntu 12.04 the power-cog turned red when a reboot/restart was needed. This was a helpful feature because it informed users that they needed to restart the computer. But this helpful indicator is gone in 14.04 and it has resulted in me never remembering to restart my computer because there is no helpful feedback from ubuntu that a restart is needed. In 14.04, I will perform an update and a popup tells me a Restart is needed but I usually select to restart-later because I am in the middle of working. By the the time I am done working I have forgotten that a restart is needed. Later when I am working again a popup occurs informing me that a restart is needed (but again I am in the middle of working so I don't restart). Bottom line: when the power-cog turned red, it reminded me that I needed to restart the computer. When I finished my work I look up and see the red power-cog and Oh yeah, I need to restart. Now is a good time. In 14.04 this doesn't happen. Instead I'm perpetually bugged by a popup (which is useless because it's never a good time to restart when it pops up). The red power-cog was a much BETTER design choice. The removal of the power-cog turning red has negatively affected the management of ubuntu updates and it should be fixed so that it behaves like 12.04.
