Just to update, in case there's still old diehard Mobian Bullseye users around: The reason to my deteriorating virtual keyboard does not seem to be new-update related, nor was it any better in Bookworm. I am facing the music: Dropped phone have a right to protest, and mine is saying its final good-bye to me. On the bright side: My order of another pinephone is coming in 5 days. This is defintely putting the 2+year of wait for a Pro 1X to shame.
On the other hand , from trying out once again the Bookworm (on a mini sd card, updated and dist-upgraded as of last night) I have to report that the problems that kept me back with Bullseye still persists, and I suppose will not be improved:
1) Under Bookworm the phone cannot charge fast enough for how rapidly it consumes battery. I cannot use my PD charger, only usb charger at 0.5 A current limit , as opposed to 1.5A.
2) I still cannot use USB-Tethering to get my laptop online by simply plugging my pinephone into the laptop. I DID find under Settings-Sharing-Media sharing that there was a network T-mobile sharing option, but the toggle button for that page does NOT work. Sigh, so close yet so far!
I realize that both of the above problem could be due to the physical unit of Pine Phone that I have so I will definitely try it again when my new pine phone arrive next week.
