ubptgbot<USERL7> Do not look at this MSG strangely  or be surprised, you know this question was coming , is it Theoretically or even applicable that Ubuntu Touch can be on windows phone/mobile  device by community developers and if the answer is yes . Will windows phone closed source / proprietary  device /company become obstacle ..  I feel like I bother m03:41
ubptgboty self asking this question so i do not blame who reads this03:41

ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> I think my MX4 is utterly hosed :( a few weeks ago I installed a recent devel image for it. Thereafter it won't download anything, and it won't launch just about ANY app. OpenStore opens but it can't open anything either.11:47
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> This in tandem with the phone's well known USB issues means I can't put it back to stable. All methods (u-d-f, installer app, etc) fail because the host device can't talk to it via USB.11:49
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> About my last hopes are that SSH still works from my big desktop or M10 (unlikely) or trying more permanent, non-UT related flashing (also unlikely with USB).11:50
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> Any advice? I've tried multiple cables and prioritised USB-2.0 ports.11:50
ubptgbot<fredldotme> @seumas have you tried reflashing the Canonical image? I've had success in the past, even with the USB issues.11:51
ubptgbot<TartanSpartan> I'll try that, thanks.12:13
ubptgbot<dohbee> @USERL7 [Do not look at this MSG strangely  or be surprised, you know this question was c …], It is theoretically possible, if the device has mainlined drivers, and bootloader can ne unlocked with open and standard tools. But otherwise very unlikely12:14
ubptgbot<Blake Carrington> I have lost my wifi connection in my house because I hit forget connection for some reason (Doh!!!). My phone is picking up homeplugs but not the actual router. When I try to add the wifi as hidden network it doesn't work either. Do I need a fresh install to solve this problem. I tried to switch channels from stable to rc but tha12:16
ubptgbott did not find it either. Any ideas?12:16
ubptgbot<A C> Supports Snap Store UT14:44
ubptgbot<mimecar> @A C [Supports Snap Store UT], that is not easy14:45
ubptgbot<Sebastien Vienneau> Fwd from Sebastien Vienneau: Linux just released a brand new kernel at the beginning of July can every distro and OS out in the world should stop everything they are trying to fix and just put everything they are currently working on hold and first assimilate the new 5.12 kernel into their is/distro because maybe the new kernel16:40
ubptgbot would fix alot of the shit their trying to fix already and then they will have less to work on and more time to perfect UIs and other native things and release editions more sooner ... Why don't people get that? Maybe all the hard work they do now before installing the new kernel will be a waste of time .... I think from no on till the end of time16:40
ubptgbot whenever new kernels come out, every other work being done gets haulted so that the new kernel can be integrated then see if alot of the work prior gets done automatically by the new kernel and what ever else needs work can have more devs working together and not all scattered all over... Please please please start working more efficiently, more s16:40
ubptgbotmarter and more in unison. … Why create extra work when new kernels do alot of the work for you?16:40
ubptgbot<bhushanshah> Erm16:41
ubptgbot<bhushanshah> That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works16:42
ubptgbot<dohbee> you are welcome to go yell at Google and all the phone manufacturers about kernel versions if you want. long and condescending messages here won't change anything16:43
ubptgbot<dohbee> also "new kernel" is literally a daily thing. so if people only ever worked on integrating kernel changes into their release, there'd be nothing else happening16:44
ubptgbot<dohbee> also, you're making a broad assumption about how things work, and like Bhushan said, that's not how any of it works16:45
ubptgbot<USERL7> @dohbee  done, thanks.16:54
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> i have recently discovered pmOS devs are working on some windows phones, but its veeeeery early stage17:26
ubptgbot<USERL7> @Fuseteam [i have recently discovered pmOS devs are working on some windows phones, but its …], Sad fact i found even before asking this question after lot of searching with many , majority if not  all windows phone users  I think it is better or saving time and mind  to let it go and  just moving to android. But any way keeping old window18:35
ubptgbots phone beside it not a bad idea as windows phone in addition following or tracking what community developers  reached wit it will not harm you if you did not put a lot of hope on that or not moving to android yet.18:35
ubptgbot<binhead> @TartanSpartan [I think my MX4 is utterly hosed :( a few weeks ago I installed a recent devel im …], I have two of these, one has a cracked screen and the other I lent to a friend, he forgot the pin unlock code, and now it's a paperweight 😕18:37
ubptgbot<binhead> I just purchased a refurbished nexus 5 and am hoping I can contribute to the community once I'm back up to speed, it's been a couple of years!18:42

ubptgbot<iamjackscompletelackofsurprise> @UniversalSuperBox. Hi did you mention in a podcast a while back that you were checking mobile devices connections and UT had one TCP and Android had about eighty? If so was it stock Android?19:46
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @USERL7 [Sad fact i found even before asking this question after lot of searching with ma …], sure, since it is abandoned by ms it will require a lot of time and efford to support then just as it takes time for UT to develop … part of the reason i like open source, much more chance someone can pick up where it was left off xD UT is livin19:57
ubptgbotg proof of that19:57
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @iamjackscompletelackofsurprise [@UniversalSuperBox. Hi did you mention in a podcast a while back that you were c …], i believe he did mention that yeah19:58
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @binhead [I have two of these, one has a cracked screen and the other I lent to a friend, …], wait if pin code was bricked shouldn't it be recoverable?19:59
ubptgbot<binhead> I didn't find a way a couple of years back, there may be one, but my friend still has it19:59
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> i believe there should be a puk code that should unlock it, if we are talking about sim card pin codes that is :320:00
ubptgbot<binhead> I don't think it was a sim pin, I'm sure there was a security option in the software. May just need to flash it again20:02
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> ah yeah flashing might do it20:03
