Are you using the Pinephone as your daily driver?

I think the frequent CPU/GPU crashes are a regression from recent software updates, not a hardware issue. I have seen several reports of this, and as I said I am seeing it myself too.

That's interesting! I was absolutely sure that it is an hardware issue because AFAIK there were no other (actual) reports about an MASSIVE increase in crashes/freezes here on the forum (which I would have expected if an update caused them)!
If it IS really an software issue caused by an update, that would explain why my nearly unused backup phone is also affected. Still not sure though...
Where did you see those reports? Reddit? Other social media platforms?

i have managed to avoid total jams, at least mostly (linux kernel is not responding, like ssh). i hope that there is no device differences, i mean other devices have it and others don't. such would raise questions about hardware, even it might be avoidable by software or drivers.
