I have started building out a management system for test results and have recruited a fellow linux engineer to begin testing with another pinephone ce device. We should begin seeing a rampup of testing speeds and a little better comparison between different operating systems.

Conclusion: This os isn't ready for the pinephone to be a daily driver.

Note: Still no audio since dev-114 persists across reboots using OTA updates. Phone still doesn't keep time.


For a list of the test cases and basic steps: https://github.com/plainenough/pinehphone_testing/blob/master/datasets.yaml Expect very much rough draft for this moment, but I will try to keep a list of simple steps and test cases for your viewing pleasure/questions that might come up about my methods.

As of build 117, data is more stable, though i havent tested from too many locations. Where i have tested however, it works. Following other advice in this forum i've gotten just about everything i need working on the phone except the camera.

Im not a big camera person, so this isnt critical for me, but its certainly nice to have. The only issue i currently have are that in-call volume is constant, and the volume buttons dont change it. NBD since i can still hear and its not blasting loud either. The next issue is that screen is way too bright, even on lowest setting. Screen brightness does adjust which is good but i feel the dimmest setting is already very bright, and the brightest is just overkill. Fixing this might be a good battery saver too! Last issue is that having to initialize gos from terminal each time is a pain. Since we know the script, lets run it from the toggle or boot!

All in all, I'd say on build 117 the PinePhone modestly passes my QA and could well be a daily driver for many. It well surpases the capability of the 2012/2013 era smartphones if you don't care for photos. All other convenience or gimmick luxuries we forfeited coming into this. We're here for functioning phones, not spyware filled eyeball flashers. For where we are with what we've got, im thus-far pleased. Alas i would very much like to see continued progress, improvements, and involvement in this community from UBportsto ensure all is being addressed.

It is a bit of dedicated effort on the posters part.
  We can start more threads to explore more specific areas if we care to.

Thank you for sharing with us @plainenough         I  for one,  do appreciate it.
