| What causes the long delays which switching or starting apps? |

I was watching top via an SSH session.
When I select a new app there is a long delay before the new app shows up on the screen.
I had expected to see something like high CPU usage, or perhaps high io wait while the app is loading.
But I see neither.
What is going on during the long app startup times?
Do other people experience this behavior?

Maybe I am missing it, but is there a simple compass app in Debian Mobile?
I noticed that the map app doesn't show direction facing so maybe the hall sensor reading is not yet included in that system app?
As long as I am asking where is the GPS settings and on/off toggle or is it still at edit .conf file settings stage?
(edit)
Answering my own ??, there is an alpha compass app written by a forum member that has been tested on Debian Mobile.

| Automatic Brightness Stuck On |

Settings->Power->Automatic Brightness toggle
I can click the toggle to off and on as many times as I like the Automatic brightness stays stuck in the on setting
it never turns grey from blue and strangely never even completes its animmation and gets 'stuc' sometimes before completing it's slide to the left.
Is there a .conf file I can edit to fix this until the GUI works?
Also automatic brightness seems to slowly dial itself to the lowest setting over a minute to two without apparently adapting to ambient light.

| AT&T cutting off my LG flip phone in 30 days |

Today I received a free 4G replacement flip phone from AT&T due to 3G service being phased out in February 2022. I did not ask for the phone, they just went ahead and sent it, and as expected it is a stripped-down Android phone filled with Google spyware. Trouble is I thought I had until February to switch over but the paperwork with the new phone said if I don't activate it myself it will automatically be activated in 30 days. (It has a new SIM and my old one will be deactivated.) I called AT&T support with my concerns, and my preference that my current SIM stay activated to install a phone of my own choosing (Pinephone). Needless to say there was nothing they could do to stop the automatic activation.
I really don't even want to turn this thing on but it looks like I'll have to let the spyware phone activate the new SIM and hopefully it will work in the Pinephone like the old one does. So it looks like assuming it works I'll be going with the Pinephone as my daily driver six or seven months faster than I thought. Since calling has been working well it shouldn't be a problem. If it doesn't work I'll be looking for another provider, as I will if AT&T cuts off the Pinephone for not being on their whitelist.

| PinePhone? Yes Sir! We have Those… |

So… I receive a phone call from The Carphone Warehouse in the UK asking if I’d like to switch to them as they have unbeatable deals on ALL mobile cell phones for all networks. The call went something like this…
“Hello sir, I can do you an unbeatable deal on your next phone purchase…”
“I doubt that… I use a PinePhone…”
“Yes sir, we have all the iPhones you could want…”
“Not iPhone, PinePhone… P.I.N.E.P.H.O.N.E…”
“Yes sir, I will see if we have them in stock (30 seconds silence while she googles it) ...yes sir, we have them in stock…”
“You have PinePhones in stock???”
“Yes sir… PinePhone by Pine64… we have those…”
“Really???”
“Yes sir… if you’d like to confirm your payment details we will have it delivered to you by tomorrow afternoon…”
Needless to say, this went on for a few more minutes of her insisting she could get me a PinePhone, even after I told her I was looking on her company website and the PinePhone was no where to be found. Outright lies, told in a bid to get me to sign up to a deal… any deal… so long as she got a sale.
I didn’t see the point in calling her out or complaining, as I bet she is only following company procedures... and I did end up having lots of fun confusing her about how Linux works and wasting her time in the process.

| Xmonad on PineTab |
|

The pinetab seems to be a bit low powered(I only have a pinebook pro with Manjaro XFCE on it, which runs okay-ish). I recently installed xmonad on an old laptop with an Intel Celeron N2840 and 2gb of ram and it doesn't do much but it runs well.
I also own a 2-in-1 tablet/laptop thingy, which I pretty much just use for Emacs and hand-wirtten notes(Xournal++).
Has anybody tried installing Xmonad or something similarly light-weight on the pinetab with just the most barebones launcher for a few apps.

| Switching between two PineTime in Wasp-os |

Here you can see Line 3 BLE address of 2nd PineTime was introduce next to Raspberry Pi After removing line 7 BLE address PineTime https://pastebin.pl/view/9c6227a6So the first time (line7 was connected but now removed) still shows in the buffer of BLE
addrresses
But when I run wasptool it breaks and I am unable to use to to connect when I swap with another Pinetime. What is the correct procedure to perform a swap such that the wasptool will recognize the 2nd PineTime BLE address and connect to it rather than connecting to the one that is in the buffer of Raspberry Pi
