Getting started

[Mwo87]

I just received my PinePhone, but can't make calls and texts don't work.

I know I need to enable VoLTE because my provider is T-Mobile in the US, but following the instructions I found here has not worked.

Specifically, when first booting, the phone recognizes my SIM and finds an access point, but after performing the commands listed, those settings go blank.

How can I proceed from here?  


Additionally, the phone goes to sleep and locks the screen after far too short a period of time. How can I change or disable this? There is nothing under settings.

I updated it the day before yesterday using the built-in app: Discover.

Is there anything else I should do?

You could try a different OS, I haven't tried Manjaro.

I realize there are different OS available, but it came with this and it seems premature to just throw it away and try something else.

No need to throw away the pre-loaded OS to try something else, just use a bootable sd card. You could even try the multi-boot image to easily get an idea of what's available.

Manjaro Plasma is finicky. T-mobile works great out of the box on Mobian and Manjaro phosh.

Try it on an SD. Leave plasma on the emmc. Plasma is still pretty raw at the moment

I tried Mobian on an SD card, and it works great. Phone calls, camera, wifi, everything seems to be working.

Not a big fan of the interface: Gnome based, yuck.  How do you exit running applications in it? I couldn't see a way to do it.
