Possibly dysfunctional as a cell phone

I am running tests calling PPP with android phone.  It looks like about 45 minutes from a full charge before it goes dead and stops answering after being off charger.  Still at 70% or so battery.  I will continue to test.  Manjaro-phosh system.

Are others seeing the same thing or is this just my phone?   How long can you have the PPP off charger and still receive a call?  What if you go out with 70% battery, 50% battery?

PPP is still early. Distros are still working out suspend, drivers, and battery optimization with the new chipset.

What you are experiencing is a partial suspend in deep sleep that is failing to keep the modem active when the rest of the phone is in low power mode. This was the same thing that needed work for the original Pinephone and was working correctly after a couple of months. Give the Pinephone Pro some time. This isn't a daily driver yet and has to go through some of the stages the original Pinephone did in terms of optimization.

If you don't want it to suspend you can turn that off in the settings. Or set suspend never. Won't be good for battery life, but atleast you can take calls until it's fixed
