Hello,

I'm right after full wipe (with --bootstrap option), image with OTA-9, to
do some 'clean' tests and found some new bugs.

1. Regarding
https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1521159
bug expanded - I found one person in my favorite tab in phone that was
there some time ago (but I've deleted it from there in google.com/contacts)
- now I've marked 4 contacts with a star - none of them are in favorite tab
in Contacts app. Even more, I can't find some contacts in phone in normal
'All contacts' tab (yes, I can see them in google.com/contacts and in
android phone contacts app), approximately 4-10 contacts missing in app.
Maybe API changed?

2. Tagger - known bug - really annoying.

3. Camera app with MX4.
a) When I switched first time to front camera and go to resolution options
I found that there was some '5:4' (or sth similar) option without (x.x MP)
string chosen by default. I've changed into 7:4 (2.1MP) and that 'old'
'5:4' disappeared (sounds good) - point is that there should be any '5:4'
option at default to choose in front camera.
b) Flash don't work while taking photos, even when I 'force' to use it in
options.

4. Why Ubuntu/Canonical apparently from one OTA to next OTA leave-as-is
features that don't work? Example:
a) Soundcloud scope - since I bought my phone (summer 2015), I can't login
into my account in that scope.
b) Youtube scope and settings in Accounts part in System settings: can't
login in scope, switch in Accounts part regarding Google's Youtube also
don't work.
It should be repaired or removed (I mean only login buttons and switch in
system settings) from default OS images until fix.

I'm really supporting Ubuntu as much as I can (recently a little less,
because I changed my job and do not have time :/), but there are some bugs
for a long time that makes me really angry, like
https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1473668
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/camera-app/+bug/1471666
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/address-book-app/+bug/1483662
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/1401802
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtmultimedia-opensource-src/+bug/1420896
https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1472631
or plenty in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-application-lifecycle
and many of them even without comment/ask for help/explanation where is the
problem to fix bug.
Is there anything we can do to speed up bug fixing process? Maybe there
should be some 1-3 days event called 'Ubuntu mobile bug Day', when people
meet and work with solving small, but annoying bugs as many as can they? Or
maybe cooperate with technical universities - for now there is many
possibility to 'use' students (as well with benefits that students get
(knowledge, IT tools, significant relationship)? In my technical university
it works really good (we have mainly Apple and Microsoft).

Best regards,
