Hm, o.k. connection to the headset broke after a few minutes and was hard to recover.
Anyway, it looks like the software stack for #bluetooth of #PureOS on the #Librem5 is not the main problem and the built-in #redpine adapter causes most of the problems.
@chrichri great!
Can we expect more blogs about your Librem 5 field trial?
Yes, I'm writing about it from time to time.
BTW: it's not a field test "trial". It is my smartphone already and there's no way back for me to Android. Will not start using Apple stuff neither.
What I'm missing are a tablet and an ebook to run the same software stack.
@chrichri I'm looking for a good Linux phone. I think I'll swap to a Linux phone when the current phone (iPhone 7) is outdated 💪
The Librem phones look great, but are rather expensive. The Volla phone with Ubuntu are cheaper and might also be usable.
@chrichri What made you choosing for the Librem?
I like the work of @purism for the whole ecosystem of linux phones. I'm used to #Debian and #PureOS is a Debian without closed sourced blobs.
I do own a #Pinephone running #Mobian, also, which mainly uses my son.
By buying and using the #Librem5 and a #Librem14 I try to support the effort of Purism as good as I can.
If you look at the code that is upstreamed by #Purism to #linux and #gnome you know what you support by buying there hardware.
On my #Librem5 I tried to connect a Cherry MW 8 mouse and a Sennheiser MB660 via #bluetooth. Didn't work. To get a hold on the reason I decided to check with different bluetooth hardware and bought an usb bluetooth dongle. Now that I have the btusb kernel modul after cross compiling the kernel I can connect the mouse and the headset.
Listening to #RadioParadise 320k mp3 on #Shortwave on my #Librem5 just now.
Mouse works without glitches.
Problem seems to be the build-in #redpine bluetooth.
