[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkennaly:
What I would need

Well, with no app store, the web apps are going to be critical in the early days.

So probably the number one app for me would be a web browser with support for extensions, so I can run LastPass in the browser. Access to LastPass is pretty much a deal-breaker for me, since all my passwords are now insane combinations of numbers, symbols and letters, and take like a full minute to type in on a phone keyboard.

If they can get the Dolphin people to make one, I will be happy.

Second, it must be able to connect my work email through Microsoft Exchange, and gmail app must be really good.

Good native music player support. Google Music would be ideal, although Ubuntu One music would be fine if they would give me 25 GB or so free worth of space so I could upload my base library.

Ability to gain root access to the OS with nothing more than a computer running desktop Ubuntu and apt-get. I had a problem with my SGS3 over the weekend, and had to bust out my work laptop to run Odin to bring it back to life. I'm fine if doing it voids warranties, whatever, but it has to just be a simple action: download device management software, acknowlegde that you are now on your own, root access to remove bloatware ot recompile OS as desired.

That'sreally all I ned, assuming all the basic phone features work well too.

I recall in one of the video interviews where they said something down the lines that Ubuntu would not prevent root access, but that carriers could do it.

Even then I still think not the reason being that some carriers try very hard to prevent us from gaining root on android we get it anyway

Well, my point is that if they make it a hassle, that might kill my interest.

I'm really sick of playing these games with device manufacturers. Either sell me a device and let me use its capabilities how I want, or don't. But don't tell me that putting the bits on my sdcard in an unapproved order is " illegal ".

Again, I get that it voids the warranty. I don't expect the manufacturer, the carrier, or anyone else to support or clean up any mess that I make.

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midnitte:
I would imagine most of us don't need to worry too much about that since if we're going to be playing with it anytime soon, it would be on the gnexus, not some OEM phone.

But yea they certainly did seem to imply that carriers would have control over all of that, which isn't surprising since not even google or microsoft can get around that.

You can also help shape the design =p

No app store? What about the Ubuntu Software Center? Aren't they going to do something similar to that but for mobile devices?
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlarck:
Dear Newbies(And other people who this may help): The no appstore thing will only be temporary, if you don't even have a Maguro Galaxy Nexus, I wouldn't even worry because by the time you get the port you'll have one. It's only for the release, hint word on ONLY. So two things, please stop going around acting like it's the killer of all OSes, and 2nd, stop acting like it'll never have one.

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jc888:
Currently, I will not allow any of my financial info to pass thru android because of the data mining (spyware) potential of the beast. Apps routinely ask for permissions that are entirely out of their scope of operation. And I press "cancel" on an app install most every time it happens.

If Ubuntu tightens up the phone paradigm and establishes a secure phone OS, financial apps would be seriously sweet.

First of all, what is the list of core applications that will be included? I've been to the Ubuntu.com website but have not seen a list of applications.

So long as it has a fully featured web browser I can compensate for any of my favorite applications. The interface looks so intuitive and organic in the videos that I am excited to try it even without the apps.

I just ordered my Nexus 4 this morning so it will show up on the 21st. (hopefully) Can anyone recommend a good tutorial for a neophyte to unlock the bootloader and port the Ubuntu image?

AW: [Q] Ubuntu Phone App and Application wish list.

WhatsApp will be weird.

The company behind whatsapp said they won't port it to Linux. But in this case... Since it's dedicated to beeing a phone and all..

I'm waiting for whatsapp with the same number on multiple devices.

@sevans: good luck with the shipping =p

Oh and also I'll be wanting to modify colours on pretty much everything. So I hope that'll be possible aswell!

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SevansD:
Thanks jscurtu. I didn't see a web browser, a dialer, or contacts in that list. Those components must be in the can so to to speak. Crowdsourcing the design and features like that only increases my excitement and expectations.

Thanks hearthcore for sobering up my expectations and/or crushing my enthusiasm. My receipt from the play store showed 14 dollars for 2 day ground shipping, elsewhere in the product description it says allow 1 to 2 weeks for delivery. What's up with that?

The dialer, contacts (people) and the browser are implemented by canonical, been shown on the vids and previews..

The browser however is not done..
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeCriggs:
I'll probably end up making an app to sync Google contacts. Doesn't seem too challenging. Plus, who really wants to save and manually replace the svc files every day.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korg91:
That is definitely a must have. Also 2-way sync with Google calendar... On iOS I could do that using Microsoft Exchange... It worked pretty well...

Anyway as soon as I finish my exams I will take a look to the sdk...

I think someone should start a thread where everyone can tell us if he is working on a new "must-have" app... In order not to make more apps that do the same thing... And maybe also to find people to work with (especially if the app would be open source)

---------- Post added at 03:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

Anyway guys, all these applications (virtualbox, rhythmbox, etc) are already there, because I can install them through APT (tried it, it works :D)... So I think the only problem is the gui...
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlamingGoat:
I'm interested in whether it's possible to apt-get install kde :)

Other than that I'd want to be able to uninstall any spyware like the amazon stuff but I'm sure that'll be no problem.

For apps I'm mainly interested in Libreoffice, Thunderbird and Digikam. I don't even care if they're touch optimised or not as I'll use a keyboard and mouse.

What I basically want is the tablet-form factor and battery life with desktop power applications such as the above, but free from stuff like googles spying and Microsoft /Apples locked in gardens.

I'll happily dual boot into android for any other apps I'd use there such as gps navigation (Sygic, Orux etc) but would really love to see Canonical develop a runtime system for Android apps such as Blackberry have done.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dim319:
I have two news, one problem and one question:

News:

1. To write C++ apps for ubuntu phone os we need only gcc-arm-eabihf. It works!

2. Perhaps I got working only console apps with this toolchain.

I compiled Qt/Qml app with Qt5 + toolchain without errors and warnings, however I used dynamic libs from devices . But it works only with conosle apps!

With Qt/Qml app on device I got this assertion:

root@localhost:/home/phablet/test_app# ./qml2phone_hello
qml2phone_hello: /build/buildd/ubuntu-platform-api-0.15/src/android/ubuntu_application_api.cpp:51: {anonymous}::Bridge::Bridge(): Assertion `lib_handle && "Error loading ubuntu_application_api"' failed.
Aborted
root@localhost:/home/phablet/test_app#

Questions:

I think this assertion occurred because I use "handmade SDK". But I'm interesting: what can be doing with this assertion. Or has anybody know how to compile worked Qt/Qml apps for OS?
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeCriggs:
Double check the tutorial. It's also always better to work with a fresh kitchen.

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

I highly doubt we will have much of a choice in desktop environments this early into a preview build only meant for developers to test applications on. So that's a definite no for right now.

As for the "spyware". Amazon, Gmail, Twitter and Facebook are all HTML5 web applications and do not run natively on the device. The only native QML applications are the Ubuntu system applications that are included (such as Phone, Camera, Browser, etc).

Now I'm looking for new glass. Man the glass on these are weak. My nexus and htc took spills way worse than sliding out of my pocket to floor of my van to end up sliding to the concrete and landing on its back, and shattered glass. Every thing else seems to be working and no scratches on the phone what so ever that is how small of a fall this one. Is the weak glass a manufacturing issue or was it known to be weak?

Edit: I should be able to just have the glass "lense" replaced or do I need a new digitizer also?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BlackPhantomX:
Depends on how extensive the damage is. If it's only shattered outer glass like you said, then you might get away without having to. It's apparent you just had the luck of the draw. I've had my phone take worse spills and survived and that's with or without it's bumper case.

And why would you be so careless of a phone you had only two days?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UrbanLagoon:
From what I have seen just from the S3, the glass is really really really attached to that digitizer. There are people who fix it for around $150 (in Southern California though). Or you can do it yourself and risk breaking it for around $30-40. If you choose option 2, you will have to send it to samsung and pay that $300 fee to replace screen and digitizer.

This is what I have seen from the S3, and the Note 2 looks very very similiar to that S3.

Just my 50 cents.

It just glass looks like it hit on corner by menu button. I wasnt being careless it was were it was supposed to be in my pocket.

Has anyone had a problem with their SGP screen getting stuck sideways? If so, how'd you fix it? The problem just happened out of nowhere and reinstalling the ROM (ICS Crumble) did nothing (neither did wiping data and cache). When the problem is "fixed," and I restart the SGP, the screen gets stuck sideways.

Edit: Odin/computer doesn't notice the GP, and for some reason, the home alarm clock pops up when I reset the Galaxy.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] det1988:
i cant think of anything since the phone has such a small amount of support (as you can see from all the chimes lol) i doubt anyone can solve this problem seems like you bricked it some how so try factory resetting it, here's a link to do that

http://support.sprint.com/support/t...Reset_via_Hardware_MOTOROLA_ADMIRAL/26293-396

if that doesnt work try registering your phone to motorola they dont ask for receipt or proof or purchase just say it was a gift, once it asks for purchase date make it a few weeks ago and then you'll have a year from your "purchase date" to mail in your phone if you encounter a problem, you only pay for shipping.

lastly if you have insurance on your phone you can call sprint and tell them that the phone broke on its own its a internal problem and insurance covers that and they have to send you another phone free of charge and you will send that one back

hope one of these solutions help, if you have a questions PM me cause im barley ever in this section

[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
Well...I woke up and switch on the tablet and A DEAD PIXEL APPEARED! :(

I got my tablet for like 8 month now and was wondering do you guys have dead pixel(s) over time? Well I'm rooted and have my bootloader unlocked so I can't return for warranty and for 1 dead pixel lol doesn't seems reasonable xD
[Transformer TF300T General] Enablingwolf:
Out of curiosity. Have you determined if the pixel is dead or just stuck?

I've had one instance of a pixel getting stuck. At first I thought it was dead. Rubbing it out worked for me. I had a few option to attempt to revive it. The simplest method worked luckily.

wikihow.com/Fix-a-Stuck-Pixel-on-an-LCD-Monitor

If you seek on your favorite search engine: recover a dead pixel (In case the de-http/www'ed of link sticker does not work..)

There are a few way to find out if it is actually dead, which is sort of rare. Versus simply being stuck. So don't give up at first. It may not be dead. :)
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
I think it's dead (really hopes its not)..... A black dot, how does yours look like?

Edit: i try poke it with the marker thing but it didnt work, you can see pressure on the screen but its still there, i wonder do dead pixels develops over time?
[Transformer TF300T General] Enablingwolf:
When I had the stuck pixel. It was also black.

For each pixel, there are three colors. Rotating between all three colors (Blue, Red and Green) in rapid succession sometimes fixes it. If none of the colors 'light up', it surely is dead and not rectifiable.

You can search you tube for: dead pixel fix. Just make sure the video is able to reach the spot where the pixel is affected. Full screen is easiest to achieve this. I suggest let it run for a few minutes at minimum. 10 would be good. Since sometimes it may take a while cycling colors, to get it going again.

Dead pixels can happen at any time. If you do not know.. Most LCD policies on dead pixels, below a certain amount are not considered defect. Asus I think is 5 pixels. One is definitely below that threshold.
[Transformer TF300T General] Tamaskan:
Well yeah, my PSP is filled with dead pixels lol. Hmm how many times did you poke it with the pen thing?

[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
I think I killed my phone hahaha! Right when I need it for job interviews :silly:

So I rooted my phone, installed Titanium backup to uninstall useless applications on my LG optimus one (LGP500H). Started backing up everything and removing one application at a time, being careful. When I got to "Nuance", I thought it was a useless program for voice control, so I backed it up then uninstalled. Then before it finished (Or after, I don't know), "force close" messages kept looping and I couldn't get out. So I restarted my phone (managed to do this between two "force close" messages).

Surprise, my phone reboots, but to a black screen with only the notification area up top. When I lock then unlock the screen, I see my background, then I swipe to unlock the screen and it goes back to that black screen. Even the "Search" hard button does not show up anything. So all I can do is check my notifications, turn on/off the wireless, gps, data, sound. Nothing else.

So I decided it was time to install CyanogenMod, but found out you absolutely need to install ClockworkMod to reboot in recovery mode. So I'm stuck. Can't do anything, can't find on google how to flash CM without ClockworkMod, no idea what is the problem.

I even tried to reset to factory default, I get past the configuration screens to choose the language and the time, then it goes back to the black screen. So I need to completely wipe my phone and replace it with cyanogen mod, I think it's past trying to recover anything.

I saw one other guy with that problem on google and nobody really answered.

EDIT:

I think maybe I just found out that I might have deleted the home screen somehow? although I didn't delete anything that I wasn't sure of.
[General Questions and Answers] NaturalBornCamper:
If anybody else has this problem and can't get an answer like me, I figured out the solution.

Send a message text to your phone from a friend's phone with a link to the market for any application. Then find Titanium backup and install it. you will be able to run it from the notification area, then find your backups, and reinstall them. Boo-yah!
