Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Canonical branded phone?

I am also experiencing this, or something very similar. I'm Canada. I very annoyingly lost my MX4 recently, and have just been transitioning to the MX5 Pro. I can confirm that there appears to be less availability of bands on the MX5 Pro than the MX (frequently dropping to 2G or E outside of

[Ubuntu-phone] Is there a bug logged for extra dots added to text messages?

I am sure that I cannot be alone in suffering (on my MX4) from a very obvious bug when sending SMSs where extra full-stops are added on the end of sentences. For example, I would type "Hello there. How are you?" And get "Hello there.. How are you?" Is that a known issue? If not, where in the

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] meizu pro 5

With regard to Convergence on MX5 Pro, there is NOT support for MHL on the device, which is why Convergence is problematic. There was discussion earlier about a wireless display alternative for non-MHL devices via Miracast.That would also be needed for Convergence to come to MX4 and the BQ

Hey guys! A while back I saw a reference to a project aiming to build an open source Android player for Linux (ie. an open source equivalent to ACL, AlienDalvik, Bluestacks Player, etc). Now I can't find it. Any ideas of such a project? I can only see this, which looks dead ...

I spotted that too. It gave me a sad face. I am glad that I managed to buy my Meizu while I had the chance, but it is not exactly confidence inspiring in the future of that product line. Maybe we are reading too much into it, and it is part of a broader change of sales approach? Do Meizu have
