are you still using pinephone as a daily driver?
#13
I've tried daily driving a few times over the last few years, but there's one thing that always forces me to go back to my old phone - unreliability of texts/sms.Specifically, this is automated texts/sms - the kind that my bank send me when I try and log in and the kind that the company I work for sends me when I try and log in. I don't know whether all 'normal' texts/sms come through, but they certainly seem to be more reliable than the automated type. But the weird thing is, nobody else seems to have this problem.

No disrespect to the brilliant work people have to done on ModemManager (e.g. Chris/kop), but I believe (perhaps incorrectly) that ModemManager is the problem. Back when Plamsa Mobile used to use ofono, I'd be running Mobian from my emmc and would be missing messages, then I'd reboot into Plasma Mobile on the sd card and they would appear. More recently, the same thing happened with a reboot into Sailfish (also ofono based). It wasn't the reboot that caused the missing messages to come through, as the problem even persisted throughout a reinstall of Mobian. I know I should try and capture some logs, but have never got round to it.

I might try daily driving with Sailfish, but it's not really what I want, as I'd like to be able to use Linux desktop software. I am looking forward to trying Maemo Leste (also ofono based), as it's sounds like it's close to becoming usable.
