Ubuntu on phones now receive initial VoLTE support

If you are using one of the supported Ubuntu Phone devices, such as a Volla 22 (contains a MediaTek Helio G85 SoC) or a Fairphone 5 (contains a Qualcomm QCM6490 SoC), you can now use VoLTE on your device.

The necessary modifications for both SoC vendors have been added to both the Noble Numbat version and the Focal Fossa version so that VoLTE works on these devices that have Ubuntu Touch installed. However, for other phones, such as Xiaomi and Google Pixel phones, it’s on the developer who created the port to modify it so that it works with VoLTE.

While they have tested the functionality with both high-quality voice calls and SMS messages, they have reported issues when working with MMS. In the status bar, if your phone shows VoLTE, this means that you can have high-quality voice calls.

In order to try out VoLTE support, you must make sure that:

• your phone is running the latest version of Ubuntu Touch,
• your phone supports VoLTE, and
• your carrier and your cellular plan support VoLTE.

It’s unfortunate that @calyxos cannot replicate this feature, it would be awesome!

Just updated /e/OS #murena to version 2.9 on #fairphone5

Hello Fairphone users!

We would be very interested to hear your thoughts on the photo quality of the Fairphone camera/

Is it good? Bad? Any examples?

Den Kopfhörer-Klinkenanschluss habe ich bei meinem Fairphone 5 auch schmerzlichst vermisst. Nachdem ich mir den USBC-Klinkenadapter (2te Generation) gekauft habe, der auch mit Headset funktioniert, (und der wie auch das Ladekabel sehr robust/belastbar/langlebig wirkt) bin ich deutlich glücklicher. https://shop.fairphone.com/de/shop/usb-c-to-mini-audio-jack-adapter-3-5mm-1603

Hmm #fairphone5 met /e/OS is 50 euro duurder dan met android. Omgekeerd zou beter zijn in het kader van Privacy First!

In dubio of ik een Murena CMF of een Fairphone 4 of 5 zal kopen. Mijn Samsung is bijna 6 jaar oud en begint te haperen.

I wanted to spruce up the back side of my Fairphone 5. I used a piece of good quality paper made for oil and acrylic paint and cut it to size, including space for the cameras. Then I painted this with some acrylic paints. The good thing is, if I wish later to change the painting I just need to swap out the paper.

#Fairphone5 question: anyone ever managed to share a file via #bluetooth (e.g. to an Android tablet or Windows computer)? It just doesn't work for me - I can pair the devices, but file sending always fails.

Not my usual, or even intended, photo.

Moonlight, clouds, and light pollution.

I didn't have a good vantage point and it's just my phone. I was awestruck by the beauty of the moon surrounded by clouds, but the photo did something totally different. Brash, spooky, #anthropogenesis. So there it is.
