OTA-13 and Meizu MX4, a lot of bugs that make this phone unusable

 

Hi list,

I received last Ubuntu Touch upgrade some days ago, now reached OTA-13, but
I never had before all these problems.
With respect for all the people that had worked on this update, on MX4 is
the worst update that I ever received before. I'm using MX4 from june 2015,
from the european launch.

In this version:

- gps stopped to work and with him all the scopes that using gps;
- hotspot icon stopped to work;
- dekko notification doesn't work, and still remain the issue with
separated profile SMTP and IMAP;
- telegram notification become slower and sometimes doesn't work;
- calendar alarm doesn't work and you can't posticipate the alarm;
- bluetooth never pair with car hands free system starting from OTA-9 (take
a look here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1539158 );
- the button at the bottom of the screen remain active after screen look.

Also, it's necessary to update the android firmware, because Meizu have
released new firmware based on Android 5 some time ago:

Also, MX4 users needs the possibility to use the convergence mode. This is
a top smartphone with a powerfull hardware, like Meizu pro5, but it's not
possible to use the display sharing function.

This email it's not an attack at the people that every day work on Ubuntu,
but just a point of situation, that right now make this smartphone unusable.

Thank you,
Marco
