To me this makes the PPP dysfunctional as to be a usable cell phone if you can't reliably get a call after 45 minutes off the tether.
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?
thanks, tom kosvic
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
If this was found in the PP, why wasn't the fix included in development plan for the new chip for the PPP. Is suspend a distro setting or a desktop setting, or a system software (kernel) setting? In development, you're supposed to incorporate found fixes in the next version and not release the new version until important fixes are made.
I will find the suspend setting and test with it enabled and disabled.

I think you are misunderstanding. The Pinephone Pro software is still under development. It is stated as so on the purchase page of Pine64 website. There will be bugs It's being worked on.
Disable suspend from settings for now if you want it to reliability wake and not have to cold boot it every 15 minutes.
