@neil I recall that Chats had dropped support for xmpp. So I think Dino will be the best bet. Do notifications from Dino fail to show even when the app is open? Or do you mean if the app is closed, it won't give notifications?

@neil @jeb2 I find Flare does enough for what I need. An alternative is the unofficial signal flatpak that includes an arm build here: https://signalflatpak.github.io/signal/

@phosh Are there devices that can run phosh and can be docked? Where can one find out more about that possibility?

@neil Thanks. This sounds promising.

@neil Ooh that is very interesting then. Are you on edge or stable image of pmOS?

@elperronegro @neil @postmarketOS Tuba is a really nice linux client for Mastodon that is mobile optimized.

@neil Do you know if the successful calls are over a 2G/3G signal, or using VoLTE (4G calling)? I understand the UK is in the process of shutting down 2G/3G networks, but not sure about that particular carrier at the moment. The issue in the USA is that 2G and 3G have been shut down, so VoLTE functionality is needed here. But I know things vary by country and even carrier.

@sam I daily drive a mobile Linux phone, and also use JMP and XMPP. I use the Dino app from Flathub, and calls and texting work fine. Only issue is that I don't get notifications if the app is closed. Do you have a better method than what I'm doing?

I do see similar language on the Mobian site: "It's recommended that you upgrade Android to the latest available version and install all system updates before installing Mobian, because Mobian uses FW files from Android partitions for enabling various peripherals (e.g. WIFI)."

@kop316 Oh interesting. This is from the postmarketOS site for the device:

@kop316 I just did this last night. Worked great. What method did you use to update the firmware though? After using MSM, the phone would be on OxygenOS 9.0.11. I think putting any Linux distro requires updating the OOS version (and firmware) to something newer. But my phone is not getting OTA updates. Is yours? Am also trying to use the Oxygen Updater app from Google Play Store, but haven't gotten that to work yet.

@TheEvilSkeleton I've been doing a monthly contribution to you through github sponsors, I will increase the amount, you do great work.

@strypey oh interesting, I remember very well the original film, but had no idea there was a sequel!

@micahilbery I pay Snikket to host a server for me but their server software can also be self hosted. I also use jmp. chat so that I can send sms and make voice calls from xmpp to people's phone numbers too. It is super cool technology.
