are you still using pinephone as a daily driver?
#24
yes i'm using my pp as a daily (with mobian), and for calling/texting it works pretty well after a couple of tweaks (power mode, not fading the screen when in a call, etc)

biggest issues i've encounted are:
-the alarms not triggering
-calendar reminders not triggering.
-incoming message alarms do not always trigger
-the camera, the photo's are pretty bad and i havn't found out of if megapixels can record videos but it doesn't look like it
-firefox's addon windows are busted and are unusable (wrong scaling flickering or just not showing or slow showing) which kind of makes firefox unusable if you like ublock settings on max. I've worked around it by importing my desktop ublock settings which configure my usual sites

the alarm/calendar is something i really need. so i carry my old windows phone for those. the camera i can work around but thats kind of annoying as well


Development experience so far:

developing for the pp is nice, both in native c/c++ or with java.
Also .net7 is supported. mono also works but the keyboard doesn't play nice with it so i have to port my applications to java because of that. Also multitouch is not supported in java, javafx or mono so that leaves on screen controls for game dev as a no go and you'll have to use c/c++ with gtk opengl etc

squeekboard customizing is great and pretty easy.
