I'd like to know if I am the only one having regular freezes on the #pinephone
As those problem occur on different systems I don't differ in OS. Mostly I am running #Mobian which is a great approach but also with #ubtouch I have those issues.
#PinePhone is not made for dayight usage outdoor... maximum brightness but very hard to see anything on the display
What I really miss on the #pinephone is a #Spotify client running on #arm64
What issues do I have with the #PinePhone?
- system hangs completely
- starts vibrating continuously
- eats a lot battery and is getting hot on ubports
- cannot play YouTube fluid
- overall really slow device (the soc is old)
- it's a pain to open the backcover
- high frequency pitch sound for short
- flickering display sometimes. Mostly when on powercord
But still I think this device gives us options for the future of FOSS
Just pre-ordered a #PineTab
I hope there will be good software support until it ships.
But as the hardware is low-end I'm not sure if the device could become a serious player.
Want to test #Sailfish soon too. What I really like on this phone is the ability to boot from SD card. Thanks @PINE64
Even if the PinePhone will never become a daily driver it is a really important step for the development of free mobile OS.
Ok to me, #ubports is not what I am searching for. It is like a not working Android... Then I tried #mobian with #phosh and this looks more like a Linux phone to me... But it also has many bugs and regressions.
Hope there will be a good system for my #pinephone soon.
Grrr... I can not disable Bluetooth in #ubports
It automatically reactivates every time....

What I have discovered.
The backcover is really hard to remove.
The device gets really hot in the area of the LET-modem.
I had to force-kill the device some times because it stuck
#PinePhone #ubports
So here am I writing on my #PinePhone
Well, it is a cheap phone and a early OS.
Have to get used to it. But at most am I interested in testing phosh. When there will be some time left...
Finally my #PinePhone arrived....

Really looking forward to get my #PinePhone in my hands... And I hope the #PineTab will be a great product too. If the Phone will satisfy my needs I think I will get a Tab.
For years I'm waiting for a great, affordable tablet.
