In reality, it is extremely difficult to reconcile certain things.
But is it really? Take the Linux distros for example: Everyone needed a stable C compiler,
a stable kernel, basic I/O, or otherwise Linux would not have gotten off the ground
and would have lost to OpenBSD etc. People want freedom, but that freedom
requires a supportive platform to enable it. Being able to make calls, send SMSes
and charge properly are analogous to Linux having keyboard and video drivers.
They have to be there or no one can embrace their freedoms.
Well that part was more just an example that sometimes it is really hard to connect certain things.
Example:
Callaudio is unexpectedly often broken for quite strange reasons. As far as I know this has happened to all distros (and it is kind of happening right now).
You can get stable callaudio but you have to stick in older and more stable packages also for many other programs which are not even directly related to the callaudio.
But because people want newer and shinier features like Phosh 0.20 as fast as possible they want to take a change
So many things are working as they should but you have to choose OS which takes these things into account.
What I am seeing here that things are developing fast but it takes quite lot of time that everything works like orchestra - it is radically different from laptop or PC because of the phone functions.
I would also like to see more contribution from Pine64 but I think I get what I paid and what was advertised.
Ps. What is that charging problem? Pinephone charges as it should there are no problems that I have heard? (I have many and never had a problem )
I know the one with keyboard case but I think that is being worked and it is different story.
Edit. I have to say also that I have working calls, sms, mms, camera, charging, internet etc. All basic functions work just like they should.
I am using PMOS Phosh stable. Almost everything works out of the box (I think mms was only one that need some tweaking).
What needed some tinkering was the user experience but the base - what you mentioned - is rock solid for me.
