My new Pinephone 64 arrived today. I finally was able to do the Setup routine; it's not at all intuitive. I was able to make a call, so it connects with the network (Koodo in Alberta, Canada) OK. But I cannot get it to "see" the right time and date. Got the region set to America/Canada/Edmonton, so the time zone ought to be MOuntain Daylight time. Phone thinks it's something 3:15 A.M. on May 22, 2022. I know that ain't right. I have time/date set to automatic, so should it be pulling that off the cell tower? Changing time/date to "manual" didn't work, because I cannot make the wheels on that slot-machine display move in any sort of rational fashion by using the touch screen. I plugged in a keyboard via the hub, and was able to type letters and numbers into some fields, but the rolling number boxes for time/date are impervious to that. And my couple of hours of fruitless groping ran the battery down from 98% to 38%, so I have it on charge again.
It's running on the software that was on it when it came out of the box. No update as yet.
