As a caveat, I noticed that the screen-flickering issue, we sporadically observed in the past, occurs quite often when returning from the screensaver (aka after restarting the drivers). The flickering disappears after a while. However, maybe this way of reproducing the issue gives us the chance to eventually solve it.
10 seconds to blank screen and screen-flickering are there as you mentioned, but getting the screen to reappear by pressing the power button is very buggy.
I could not consistently turn the screen back on the same way. Sometimes it took pressing the power button once, twice, thrice, etc. and waiting 5 seconds. Other times the same thing was done using the volume buttons (up and down) to get the screen to return not pressing the power button at all. I use Arch that relies on hitting the power button once to reenable the screen and that was working fine before switching out the OS via SD card.
Other issues I've mentioned before are still there which may already be in the works for the official August Launch version:
1. Can't access Voicemail typing pin code because the carrier service doesn't respond to buttons pressed during a live call (in addition to the # not being enabled yet per previous comments).
2. Keyup still doesn't seem to work. You can see for yourself by visiting this site with Sculpt's browser where the background color doesn't turn pink on Keyup like it should: https://www.w3schools.com/jquery/tryit.a...down_keyup
3. Still lose the Sculpt OS on reboot after clicking Storage "USE" off requiring reburning the image, reloading the OS, and redownloading the Presets. I did this without looking at previous notes which may have the correct procedure listed, but this is still way to much work to cleanly power down/restart the OS on the PinePhone.
If the reboot can't be simplified where whatever Storage connection is automatically deactivated on power down/restart, at least add a nag screen that prevents the user from hitting reboot/power down until the list of shut down procedures are manually completed.
4. Review my previous posts in this thread for the rest of the list.
#1 is the only real deal breaker to switching to Sculpt since I use the PP mostly for phone, voicemail retrieval, and text (#3 can be tolerated once I memorize the reboot/power down steps). I can get by without full browser functionality and the other bells and whistles.
Let me know if I missed something/followed wrong procedure, etc.
