If you're ready to tinker - here is how to get the more features working right now
#1
The UBports guys are working hard to deliver more well rounded features into the stable image for the PinePhone, but this may yet take some time. 

Meanwhile, if you're keen to experiment and you're not afraid of breaking things (which may require you to re-flash the image) then here's steps you can take to get additional functionality right now.
I'll try to keep this post up-to-date in the days leading up the a Stable OTA with new features.

Switch over to "development channel"
If you're keen to try stuff out, then you'll first need to switch over to the development channel.

Quote:Open "Settings"-> head all the way down to "Updates" -> select "Update Settings" -> "Channels" -> select "Development"

You'll likely experience the phone temporarily slowing down, this is normal. The phone will fetch a new development channel OTA update, after which you should tap "Install & update".

After your phone reboots, before proceeding I suggest you should enable SSH as this will make things easier for you:
Code:
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo umount /etc/init/ssh.override
sudo rm /etc/init/ssh.override
sudo start ssh

Now you're ready to enable additional functionality of the phone under Development Channel.
  1. Enable advanced power management (Crust)
  2. Enable GPS
In the event something breaks, make sure to read @UniversalSuperBox post concerning troubleshooting and dealing with problems -- which are naturally more likely if you're on the dev release channel.

Have fun!
