So, first try with pmOS with plasmamobile. Calling worked out of the box :boggled:

As others mentioned, there's some kind of weirdness with SMS, seems to be interface related.

Sound is funny, but under sound settings I switched the speaker to "Internal Earpiece" and it's actually comprehensible! :More boggling:

It actually allowed me to set a timezone. Not the time itself -- I selected set automatically, but it hasn't changed anything in half an hour -- but with the right timezone it's only an hour off. Cool!

What I can't seem to get a handle on is wifi. I have mobile broadband turned on, which should allow me to use the phone as a wifi hotspot? I am fairly confused about how cellular data and wifi relate to each other. Any ideas on what I could try will be much appreciated!

To set your timezone you need to ln -s your timezone from /usr/share/zoneinfo to /etc/localtime
e. g.
Code:
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Bucharest /etc/localtime

@wibble: make sure you fully upgrade your system using the "--available" switch.

Code:
apk upgrade --available

You seem to be running the old Qt version still but a KWin that has been rebuilt against a newer version.

@sundog: not sure why that happens for you, the issue is KWin not finding a GPU for some reason. Again, make sure your system is fully upgraded using the "--available" switch. Check if Mesa is still instsalled and if this all doesn't work out, try reflashing the image.

Fully upgrading using the "--available" switch was what got it into that state in the first place, with no errors that I spotted. I need to get more familiar with pmbootstrap anyway, so may as well start again with that.

I also used the available switch to end up in this state. Guess I will check back on this project in a couple weeks.

Thanks for that! It's a small thing, but having the wrong time popping out at you is oddly annoying.  Wink

Edited to add: on my system it was /usr/share/zoneinfo/ that contained the timezones. And it wouldn't let me make the link until I deleted the existing /etc/localtime (which iirr is the standard behavior, but I'd forgotten that).

then I could set my time using
Code:
sudo date -s 'YYYY-MO-DD HH:MM'

and I'm a happy camper! Big Grin

Should the mic / audio out be working OOTB during calls now? Incoming audio works fine but the other end only hears a quiet low quality echo of themselves. Messing in alsamixer I've also managed to hear an echo of myself during calls but I've had no luck getting the other end to hear me.

Still not having any luck getting my hotspot working. I turned on mobile broadband, entered the data it wants, but when I go to wifi settings, the pinephone doesn't show up in the list.

Is there something else I need to do? I'm befuddled about the relationships of cellular data and wifi.

My data connection is via my phone. I don't have a regular broadband ISP. On my other phone, I turn on cellular data, then I turn on hotspot, and that phone shows up as a wifi point other devices (my laptop) can access.

All the pins to control access in hardware are in "On" position.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something that is just one big "D'Oh!"

Currently making a hotspot on Plasma Mobile is not yet supported.

@Huitsi, yes it should.

Interesting times! Big Grin   Is this the same problem with all the distros? I've been trying Ubports and pmos-Phosh as well. And Manjaro, but quite a few things don't work yet there, so that probably includes hotspot.
