An update to me earlier post.
Occasionally I like to give the HDMI docking a try to see if anything has changed. Today it paid off, everything is working. I have to assume that my issues mentioned earlier were software issues. I'm now using debian bookworm, which is guaranteed to change many things.
I just plugged my pinephone into my Samsung tv today and it worked. I found that the 'single display' setting with the tv as the 'primary display' to be the best settings. I did find that the pinephone was not able to handle youtube video playback on a 1980x1080 screen very well. Still, it's quite amazing to have my phone apps available on a large screen.
My usb mouse worked well from the docking bar, and the onscreen keyboard (enabled under Accessibility) worked fine.
A big thank you goes out to all the devs that were able to make this work so well.
