First as you know I backed everything up and then did update. All is working well and I wont touch anything update until a situation arises where I need something updated.
At present I am working on my other phone with Arch Plasma. Still plenty of work required there and I update that all the time. That phone is not critical but my Arch Phosh phone does have critical info on it so I must protect that.
Good luck Zeb with getting the calls back audio.
I have Arch on the SD card that I'm using. It basically works so I'm not going to update it. The only issues I noticed is that as with Mobian, bluetooth audio doesn't work and if I use a wired headset, that has to be plugged in after dialing the call. (The microphone does not work if you plug the headset in first.)
I think having a "known to work" SD card as a backup, as well as an image backup of the eMMC, is a must if using the Pinephone as a daily driver as I've been doing for about a year and a half now. It's only recent Mobian updates that I've found to be really problematical. Hopefully I'll get lucky with the call audio problem with upcoming updates but if not I have a working image backup at the ready.
The basic reason I think the audio doesn't work right is because the o.s. takes priority and not the call app.
This is why I suggested to Pine64 to separate the call app from ANY o.s. so the phone works separately.
This way the phone could always work regardless of o.s. installed. Until this is done I suspect that phone calls
will always be hit and miss.
