ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> @TotalSonic [<reply to media>], My background is of me and my friend :)01:16
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @PhoenixLandPirate [My background is of me and my friend :)], You are inspiring me to start on Duolingo with that :)01:31
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> @TotalSonic [You are inspiring me to start on Duolingo with that :)], I recommend it, but I will say, I'm not very good at it, hard to keep up with it honestly, but now I'm back at work, I've got more motivation to start doing it again!01:31
ubptgbot<Braillynn> Seems like I need to keep my PinePhone on the stable update channel, otherwise it stops turning on.02:07
ubptgbot<Braillynn> Release candidate helped it feel faster, but it wouldn't turn on again after the battery died so flashing it again.02:07
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> @Braillynn [Release candidate helped it feel faster, but it wouldn't turn on again after the …], I had that issue at some point, but on kernelupgrade, my battery died, and now I can charge it and it'll boot fine, though when I've been using older kernels, it's been a bit hit and miss, because a lot of my chargers are /fast/ char02:11
ubptgbotgers, and on older kernels the hardware doesnt do power management via charging well, so if you try to charge using a fast charger, then your battery dies from the screen being on. … But yeah its hit or miss for what works with different peoples set ups.02:11
ubptgbot<Braillynn> @PhoenixLandPirate [I had that issue at some point, but on kernelupgrade, my battery died, and now I …], What do you keep it on? Or do you still use Ubuntu Touch?02:12
ubptgbot<Ganvix Gust> If anyone has the Redmi s2 (ysl) and is interested in testing, I will be working on a halium 9 and hopefully halium 10 from for it, again. GSI is the first to get working before system image.02:13
ubptgbot<Ganvix Gust> I get there is a few different boot images, it's fun for some people to do it themselves02:13
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> @Braillynn [What do you keep it on? Or do you still use Ubuntu Touch?], Yeah its just ubuntu touch02:13
ubptgbot<Braillynn> @PhoenixLandPirate [Yeah its just ubuntu touch], I meant what update channel. Or do you also keep in on stable?02:14
ubptgbot<PhoenixLandPirate> @Braillynn [I meant what update channel. Or do you also keep in on stable?], Kernelupgrade atm. but its usually either Devel or Kernel.02:14

ubptgbot<Braillynn> Had to set it up again, but it looks so good imo :)04:19
ubptgbot<Braillynn> It seems to shut off though while it's charging and the screen goes blank.04:22
ubptgbot<Shakendo> @TotalSonic [<reply to media>], this looks amazing on an OLED screen04:50
ubptgbot<Shayanrahnejat> Is it compatible for galaxy A20s05:50
ubptgbot<Shayanrahnejat> ?05:50
ubptgbot<Shakendo> someone would have to port UT to it05:55
ubptgbot<marc_petschke> Hi. Is there a way to speed up utouch? I use nexus device.  pdf reading is really slow, keyboard is a bit slow.. Etc.08:06
ubptgbot<Flohack> @marc_petschke [Hi. Is there a way to speed up utouch? I use nexus device.  pdf reading is reall …], Use a different hardware :)08:50
ubptgbot<marc_petschke> :-) ... but I was looking for a tablet ... and Nexus and bq are actually the only working I could find. … Just hoped i could tweak something.08:53

ubptgbot<Ted Rendol> @marc_petschke [Hi. Is there a way to speed up utouch? I use nexus device.  pdf reading is reall …], some Large pdf documents are also a problem for stronger hardware than the nexus 4 or 512:01

ubptgbot<The_Monol1th> Does anyone in the chat have any experience flashing UT onto an Xperia X (F5121)?15:45
ubptgbot<The_Monol1th> I've read the instructions on the device page and it seems a bit involved. Just wondering how difficult it is.15:46
ubptgbot<Javacookies> it does have a few extra steps but they're mostly typical with other devices anyway. … unlock bootloader, update to stock Android that's compatible with UT, install via ubports installer15:51
ubptgbot<Javacookies> the tricky part is the unlocking of bootloader. there's a possibility that your device cannot be unlocked ever. And you also have to follow Sony's official procedure on how to do it15:52
ubptgbot<The_Monol1th> Thank you. I'm currently looking at a used one that seller says is unlocked. I'm assuming that's just for carrier though.15:56
ubptgbot<Gabrielgubin> @TotalSonic [<reply to media>], Looking good 😁15:57
ubptgbot<The_Monol1th> @Javacookies [the tricky part is the unlocking of bootloader. there's a possibility that your …], Kugi, could you elaborate on why the device may not be possible to unlock? I'm not really well versed in the phone space and my Nexus 5 was very easy to get up and running on UT so I'm not familiar with many of these extra steps.16:01
ubptgbot<Javacookies> there are units that are not possible to unlock … I forgot what was the indication but I think some text in the about page can be used as indications. You may check Son'y page about unlocking bootloader16:03
ubptgbot<The_Monol1th> @Javacookies [there are units that are not possible to unlock … I forgot what was the indication …], Thank you again. Sony's page is a bit vague about it. Essentially gives you the procedure and then device may or may not be unlockable but nothing to indicate why.16:07
ubptgbot<Javacookies> I'll try to remember or look for it … I wasn't actually aware of this when I bought mine. Luckily mine was unlockable :)16:08
ubptgbot<Javacookies> ah it's not something you can see easily. You have to ask the seller a few steps. In this page, there's a code to dial which will show if the device can be unlocked … https://developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/unlock-bootloader#unlock-code16:15
ubptgbot<The_Monol1th> @Javacookies [ah it's not something you can see easily. You have to ask the seller a few steps …], Nice, thank you for that. It also seems that models starting with a 1302 SKU seem to be unlockable more often than not according to what I've read so far. The one I'm looking at indeed has a 1302 at the start.16:16
ubptgbot<Javacookies> good luck16:17
ubptgbot<Javacookies> Xperia X is a nice phone and I heard there are improvements coming with OTA-1616:17
ubptgbot<The_Monol1th> @Javacookies [good luck], Thank you Kugi and thank you for they help, much appreciated 👍16:17
ubptgbot<The_Monol1th> Certainly seems nice. I love my Nexus 5 but it's been having the power button issue for a a couple years now and goes into bootloop at times.16:18

ubptgbot<Steve Kueffer> @Fuseteam [afaih there's an echo in audio calls], Ok thank you. But this might be resolved in a future update (?)18:46
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @Steve Kueffer [Ok thank you. But this might be resolved in a future update (?)], yes, no idea when however18:46

ubptgbotis possible to get workable turn by turn navigation with UT now. But it is definitely not as good as what you get from a  hundreds of billions of dollars valued surveillance corporation.18:47
ubptgbot<Fuseteam> @TotalSonic [Between uNav, Pure Maps, OSM Scout Server, Here maps webapp, and LatLong Data (t …], irc; they might not get your reply18:47
ubptgbot<Steve Kueffer> @Fuseteam [yes, no idea when however], It seems that a solution has been very recently found: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1662 … Hope it will be further tested and integrated to the device image.18:58

ubptgbot<ptp31> Hey there19:22
ubptgbot<klaartje_b> Hey Jack!19:58
ubptgbot<TotalSonic> @marc_petschke [Nexus 7 2013 WLAN], I have a Nexus 7 LTE (deb) as well and it is just a mediocre at best performer with UT.  Frankly given its age, and that it has so many device specific bugs (no camera, no bluetooth, no side stage) I think it is better just to move on from it.  There is a possibility of support for the Lenovo M10 tab21:17
ubptgbotlet coming up with a port just started for it, that I think holds some promise as an affordable tablet option for UT.21:17
ubptgbot<marc_petschke> Oh that would be cool!21:18
ubptgbot<klaartje_b> @marc_petschke [Oh that would be cool!], Some of us have already bought the device... maybe jumping the gun a little here. Just a little.21:38
ubptgbot<Braillynn> Can we add the Pixel 3a XL to the list of supported devices?23:12
ubptgbot<fredldotme> @Braillynn [Can we add the Pixel 3a XL to the list of supported devices?], Not until we have screen scaling set differently to the non-XL variant. That's the only missing piece, everything else can be done using an alias from "bonito" to "sargo" in the installer. But have you tried installing it manually already?23:16
ubptgbot<Braillynn> @fredldotme [Not until we have screen scaling set differently to the non-XL variant. That's t …], I have not, I am debating on trying it though as I'm tired of android.23:17
ubptgbot<Braillynn> I need the install image too.23:17
ubptgbot<Braillynn> I couldn't flash Sailfish OS without a crap ton of trial and error, took all day honestly. So makes me worries UBT would be the same.23:18
ubptgbot<fredldotme> This should get you started: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5840/differences-in-support-compatability-between-pixel-3a-and-pixel-3a-xl/3?_=161576386194823:18
ubptgbot<fredldotme> The only requirement is that you downgrade to the latest Android 9.0 from Google first.23:18
ubptgbot<fredldotme> @Braillynn [I couldn't flash Sailfish OS without a crap ton of trial and error, took all day …], Here's the prerequisite: https://developers.google.com/android/images#bonito23:19
ubptgbot<Shakendo> I wanna use UT, but my cell provider is CDMA, and even if I get past that hurdle, I still need VoLTE otherwise I cant really do anything23:49
