Canonical has recently released a new OTA update for Ubuntu Touch and it brought a large number of new features and improvements, but also a nasty regression that caused the telephony function to fail on BQ phones and Nexus 4. That fix has finally landed.

The Ubuntu Touch OS has received quite a few OTA updates until now, five to be more exact, and most of them have provided a better experience for users. Some regressions are inevitable, and the same happened with the latest update.

Ubuntu developers quickly figured out that something was wrong and started to work on a fix. That patch was released today now users of the BQ Aquaris phones and Nexus 4 users can connect to their carriers once more.

"A quick mail today. We finally released the bq-aquaris.en mako image with the telephony fix from yesterday. It took a bit longer than anticipated, but mako users should now be able to use their phones normally," wrote Łukasz 'sil2100' Zemczak on the official mailing list.

As usual, Ubuntu Touch users don't need to do anything extra. The patch will arrive through the regular update channels, and they will need to reboot their phones in order to complete the installation.
