Thanks again "bcnaz" !
Do you know how I can add the phone numbers of people who call me to my contacts ?  I can't find a way
I have seen comments that people are using evolution, but it would be so much better to use the simple contacts app. How is it that when you receive a call you can't create a contact out of it. I know that you can copy the number, but despite doing so, I can't find a way to paste it because when you go to create a user simply tapping on the empty number does nothing.   What is particularly galling is the fact that under the recent calls there is a box marked contacts, but that screen does not allow the creation of a contact, it just allows the search of a contact.

Mobian is definitely more stable for me. Manjaro phosh (I think it was) was unreadable -  the light grey on white being a problem for me and even worse when I tried pairing the phone with my car using BT, although the device connected, I could not manage to use it

Im having problems with ssh on mobian -  I keep getting "no hostkey alg" which I think is due to the lack of keys- which i created according to https://askubuntu.com/questions/268272/s...ostkey-alg with no luck.

I could not set up my email on Geary as there is no option to use SSL/TLS afai can tell

Finally,  because puretalk requires the correct apn settings -  which are not consistent for example

Your suggestions welcome

I think they have changed the base in the chat and contacts app's,  it seems like "you could" add the new contacts at some
point in the past.
But for now I just delete the new call or message then manually enter it into my contacts.
  For the time being, it does work that way.
I do keep a paper copy of all my contacts,   -- as we are sort of in "Un-charted waters"  at the moment.
and Geary works pretty well for me using the manual entry method.
