Since about 2-3 weeks my main phone crashes (sometimes) OR completely freezes (very often) OR the touch screen "gets stuck" (less often) multiple times a day (at least twice, sometimes more) and needs a hard reboot. It happens while phone is in use at least twice a day - but happens also nearly every night while it's on the charger, in the morning the phone is "on" but you don't get to see more as the screen backlight. Perhaps it's this "flipping frames bug" I've read about here on the forum, but then I don't understand WHY it happens now multiple times a day and last year only once a few weeks or even months (I don't use my phone more or different now!). Therefore I think it has more to do with an Mobian update OR (more likely) the hardware is just dying...
2. I wanted to switch to my back-up-PinePhone as my new daily driver to check if it is more stable (nearly unused, newer revision) and updated it, but it still has this problem https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=15076 which I was never able to solve. And you HAVE to reboot your PinePhone sometimes, and it should take 1-2 minutes maximum then and not 10 minutes if you need your phone right now...
i forgot this one. i have started to suspect that allwinner SoC is second-level quality. some work and others don't. in this "flipping frames bug", powersaving issue happens all pinephones but frequency change bug only in some pinephones. do we play lottery in these chips to get good or bad one!?
i noticed that fedora kernel does not crash on frequency change on any pinephone. this could be used as a hint, kernel and mesa developers change something and linux.os start to do weird things. maybe those total jams could indicate new bugs, and may behave slightly differently on different pinephones.
i used weird hack to install uboot on mobian, because i needed bootable mobian on sdcard. i don't have lot of experience about tow-boot, but is it stable enough?
