I suspect that the answer to that is "no".
If, as seems likely, both BQ and Meizu have no immediate plans to ship
further Ubuntu Touch devices then that likely means that it is not
economically beneficial to them to do so. That certainly

I can confirm that there appears to be less availability of bands on the

This is probably of interest only to a very small number of people on this
list, but this evening I have accidentally discovered that the Meizu MX4

Pro 3.

What are the options?If you find yourself in the same position as me,
what solution are you using?
I guess getting the USB drive connection working in likely my best bet?
I use SpiderOak on my MacBook.Anybody having any success with SpiderOak
on an Ubuntu Phone device? Thanks!

I am sure that I cannot be alone in suffering (on my MX4) from a very
obvious bug when sending SMSs where extra full-stops are added on the end
of sentences.
For example, I would type "Hello there. How are you?"
And get "Hello there.. How are you?"
Is that a known issue? If not, where in the
With regard to Convergence on MX5 Pro, there is NOT support for MHL on the

There was discussion earlier about a wireless display alternative for

Hey faenil!
Random question on this theme. Are there diagrams or documentation
anywhere detailing the branching flow between the various Ubuntu versions?
ie. how are the codebases for Ubuntu Server, Ubuntu Touch and Ubuntu Snappy
Core related? How do changes and fixes flow between these diffe

And maybe faenil will be bringing the "Android as an App" magic to Ubuntu

I am using a Jolla Phone as my day-to-day device, and I can vouch from

Hey guys!
A while back I saw a reference to a project aiming to build an open source
Android player for Linux (ie. an open source equivalent to ACL,
AlienDalvik, Bluestacks Player, etc). Now I can't find it. Any ideas of
such a project?
I can only see this, which looks dead ...

Any time you use computer networks in any form, you are exposing yourself.
It's unavoidable with the Internet in its current form (which many teams
are working to rework).

I spotted that too. It gave me a sad face.
I am glad that I managed to buy my Meizu while I had the chance, but it is
not exactly confidence inspiring in the future of that product line.
Maybe we are reading too much into it, and it is part of a broader change
of sales approach? Do Meizu have
