PinePhone Pro battery life at the beginning of 2023?

[Kevin Kofler]

you probably meant lte! rather than gsm.

Not necessarily. Voice often still goes through GSM or UMTS rather than VoLTE, which unfortunately was designed as an afterthought rather than as an integral part of the protocol as in earlier technology generations.

E.g., on my PinePhone:

Code:

[kevin@plasma-mobile ~]$ sudo mmcli -m any --command='AT+QCFG="ims"'
response: '+QCFG: "ims",1,0'

This means ims_conf=1 (enabled), but volte_cap=0 (disabled), so VoLTE is not enabled out of the box on this operator.

NOTE: AT+QCFG is not documented in the data sheets on the PinePhone wiki page in the PINE64 wiki, but the document can be downloaded from this Quectel forum thread.
