Hello.
I got my pinephone a few weeks ago, played around with different operating systems and environments. But it was only yesterday, that I first tried to use it with a SIM card, because I want to start using it as a daily driver. I'm using the Manjaro 3gb CE.
Calls and SMS work good on postmarketOS, but mobile Internet doesn't. So I'm wondering, if this is just a software problem (I tried various operating systems including the preinstalled and updated Manjaro, postmarketOS, ubports and by using the multiboot image I also tried PureOS, KDE Neon and some other) or if my network provider just isn't supported (using O2 Germany). If the second is the case, I'm willing to change the provider, but I must be sure, if this is really the problem. APN was selected automatically in postmarketOS and seems to be correct according to research I did (pinternet.interkom.de). The status bar shows '4G' and mobile data should work in this area.
There is also a second problem, that the signal gets lost from time to time to an unknown state and gets reconnected after a few minutes, maybe this is related to the non-functional mobile data. I read some older threads describing this problem as well.
Finally, I would like to use the change to thank Pine64 and the community for making all this possible. Thank you!
Greetings
