The other main problem I am having is that when I connect the phone
to my Ubuntu PC via USB, the PC does not recognise the phone at all,
as if it were not connected, yet the phone is charging from the
cable. An Android phone on the same cable was recognised perfectly
well, as were ebook readers. So why not the BQ Ubuntu Phone?<br>

I have noticed that the Dekko email client is quite unstable and
keeps crashing -- surely the Ubuntu team should be developing
this? We need a decent email client. One of the main reasons for
having an Ubuntu phone is to get away from Google, yet the only
email client that is installed by default is for gmail.<br>
<br>
When I receive a phonecall from someone not in my contacts list,
how can I easily add that number to the contacts -- I see no
options at all when looking at received calls other than info
relating to the call. It needs to have the option to add a caller
to a contact, either an existing one or create a new one.<br>
<br>
In the web browser, there is an option to share the page. This
should have in the list other apps, including the option to send
by email, share on Facebook, save to Pocket, save to Evernote,
etc. Sending a link by text message is not what I want to do.<br>

<div>Hi All<br>
<br>
</div>
A few problems/observations from me:<br>
<br>
</div>
1) For the second time I have been given a
notification of '1819631974 voicemail messages'.
When I touch the phone icon on it, it just goes
away. First time I had it, I didn't even have
voicemail set up for the new number I put on the
phone. Is it a bug, or a scam, or what? <br>
<br>
</div>
2) Wifi doesn't let me choose what to connect to. My
Moto G Android phone gives me a list of Wifi networks
in my locality - mostly secure. But there is a BT
Wifi and a BT Wifi with FON which are not secured, but
have a poor signal and will always give me a Network
error as I'm not registered to use them. Every so
often, my Moto G locks onto one of these, but I can
tell it to disconnect and forget it. Now my Ubuntu
phone has locked onto one of them and I cannot find
any way to get it back to my home Wifi. Even turning
Wifi off in System Settings has no effect. <br>
<br>
</div>
3) Battery Life is poor - between a day or two at the
most. My Moto G used to be as bad, but has improved a
lot with Lollipop. I notice at least one bug has been
posted about this, so I hope it will be improved for the
Ubuntu phone.<br>
<br>
</div>
4) Closing apps I find a real pain. Perhaps someone will
tell me how to do it easily. The only way I have found is
to do a really precise slow swipe from the right edge to
about 2/3rds the way across the screen to get it to show
open apps, then swipe down the one I don't want. The
swipe from the right edge has to be so precise that it
take a few goes to get it right. What I would like is for
the < symbol at the top of the app window to change to
X on the home page and mean 'close'. See System Settings
as an example of an app where this would work. At the
moment, only the browser has a greyed out < on the home
page, but just doing it for this would help due to the way
may apps 'offload' to the browser.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>5) I've been tapping notifications to get to what they
are telling me about and nothing has been happening. Now
I find that tapping the icon, and only the icon, works.
Not very intuitive, especially for ex-Android users.
Also, swiping the notification to the right, gives me a
'Delete' option. It's not clear if this is to delete just
the notification or the object (email, for instance) it is
telling you about. Scary! <br>
</div>

</div>
Those are the things bugging me at the moment. More to come,
maybe.<br>
