I love the idea of Ubuntu phone and pay great respect to all developers. The
only phone I could use again if there was no UT any more would be my old
Nokia:-)I have however this ugly nature of telling people what I do not like in
a project directly in the eyes. There are a few things that kill this project
right from the start. I hate all these small bugs that are 5-30 minutes work to
repair but noone cares. I understand there are hundreds of bugs: some of them
are just someones colourful fantasy, some of them less important than the
others and there is noone to decide which should be fixed as a first one.Let me
give You two examples (for these two reasons I wouldn't give You a dollar if
You asked me a 100):1. Marking a text. I mean these blue dots that are to small
and since OTA12 above the text!!! or let's say it straight: under Your finger.
Let's say it simply: it is a pretty important function, especially because some
apps do not cooperate with the phone app very well. You do not have to rewrite
a system to repair it and let's say it straight: it does not work.2. This will
be silly. Yes, You may find it silly but as I wrote already many times: first
things first. Let this phone first calls and rings correctly and then let us
think about more complicated things. So again, with full respect to all
developers, I love that You repaired the sms notification problem, but there is
no way to hear my E4.5 on the street. Some 250ms beep doesn't do the job. I
know I can probably just replace the *.ogg file the the one I like but... what
about all these people who can't do this? How "hard" is it to repair this
problem?Perhaps I use wrong examples that You do not like but I hope You got
the idea. This is the same thing as with bluetooth that doesn't work correctly
since Ubuntu 12.04 though it used to work!!!I really do not want to offend
anyone but with such an attitude to the development I simply can not write
anything else. I like my phone and love the tablet from which I wrote this
message but can not understand why simple things (for example my M10 doesn't
open ebay page correctly) need so long to repair.
There seems to be totally no quality management for Ubuntu touch.
So... now as You all hate me, I'll kill some Mashines in my absolutely
favourite game ever. Michael Zanetti, You made me play a game! No one ever did
it before;-)))
Cheers

Subject: [Ubuntu-phone] What's the plan for Ubuntu Phone in 2017?
Dear Ubuntu Developers & Supporters, first of all thank you for your
work. Also Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year.
I do think this is the perfect time to talk about Ubuntu Phone (UP) and
its next future.
Mark Suttleworth said in May UP is not in the main focus, and that his
daily phone is not UP [0], but I don't interpreted it as far as Bryan
Lunduke (Social Media Marketing Manager of SUSE) does, when talking
about his 2016 predictions [1]:
"(Prediction for 2016) Canonical will pull away from phones.
Canonical/Ubuntu pulling away from the phone market? This is a hard one
to measure.
Wait. No, it’s not.
The last press release from Canonical that was phone-related was back in
April. And the main press page for Canonical doesn’t list a single thing
about phones. The last several announcements from Canonical have been
very enterprise-centric. Even in the lead up to the holiday shopping
season, not a peep about phones.
Nailed it. Canonical pulled away from phones during 2016 in order to
focus on enterprise functionality."
Personally, I simply do think is just a question of time, and I have
great faith in the UP project.
So Dear Devs, what's the plan for 2017? How can we help to speed up
Ubuntu Phone development? What can we do to get UP to play in the "First
Division"?
Regards.
