[Ubuntu-phone] Freedom

This is liberating if we allow it to be. We're no longer forced to be Snap only while tethered to Unity8. We finally have control over the future of this project. The developer team needs to speak to the community on this. - Who is willing to stick around? - How difficult would a switch to

[Ubuntu-phone] Meizu Pro 5: Turbo Staging Channels

The staging channels are no longer working as of February 21. https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1668883 Revision 201 was booting, but now the oldest revision that can be flashed is 210 which hangs at the Ubuntu dotted loading screen. I couldn't find anything that

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Broken TouchScreen Meizu Pro 5

Are you trying to recover all of your data? If so, follow the steps below. If Developer Mode is not enabled on the phone, and you can't access your files through an Ubuntu Desktop terminal with phablet-shell or adb shell, you'll need to enter Recovery mode and pull the files from there. Power off

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] 16.04 On Screen Keyboard

Hi Matthias, You're on the best software for your daily driver phone. That's what my Meizu MX4 uses as well. The ubuntu-touch/staging channels have software available for people that like filing bug reports and don't mind their phone/tablet not working. I'm using the staging channels for my Meizu

[Ubuntu-phone] 16.04 On Screen Keyboard

The keyboard works when unlocking the phone and also when typing in the "Search" field for the Launcher. However, in Terminal or any other program, the keyboard immediately disappears whenever any key is pressed. Is there a workaround for this? -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] The move to snaps

Pat, Could you clarify something that others keep bringing up. Are the current BQ and Meizu devices going to be left to wither on the vine when a Xenial image is released or will users be able to flash and wipe their phones with a new Xenial image? Is there a current phone on the market that is

Francisco, Try switching to TCP 443 to sidestep hotels and other providers that block VPN. I've had more success with that. Leonardo, You will want to create two VPN connections through the Network dropdown via VPN Settings. The first uses weaker encryption but will allow a connection over a

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] OTA-13 and Meizu MX4, a lot of bugs that make this phone unusable

I had a similar GPS issue with Scopes on the Meizu Pro 5. I think I fixed it by going to Settings->Security & Privacy->App Permissions->Location and REVOKING the Scopes permission. I rebooted, gave Scopes permission again, rebooted again, and GPS for Scopes is working now. On Wed, Sep 28, 2016 at

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Spotify, Vimeo and Youtube issues

I agree that Spotify would be a great addition. Michael Sheldon's "CuteSpotify" for UT is the only reason that I began paying for Spotify in the first place. It would be great if Spotify would work with you. On Wed, Sep 21, 2016 at 11:45 AM, Jim Hodapp wrote: > > > On

[Ubuntu-phone] Meizu Pro5 Carrier Issues

I have a Meizu MX4 and a Pro5. Both the MX4 and the Pro5 have the same APN configuration. The MX4 behaves great with the limited spectrum available in the US. The Pro5 is problematic. My SIM card works great in the MX4, however, when I put the same SIM card into the Pro5, it is only able to detect

Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Meizu Support

I bought my phone second hand. In fact I might have been the third owner, however, when I opened a ticket with http://assistenza.meizu.it , I told them this, and they repaired my broken SIM slot for around $100. Ask them how much it would cost to fix the phone out of warranty. It might be worth
