Multiple issues with the Pinephone
#1
Hello there,

I've just recieved my very first Pinephone 64 but it's barely working so I can't use it for anything. I haven't found how to fix these problems anywhere else so I'm asking you for help. I'm having these problems:

HDMI only works for a second, right after this the phone display starts jittering and I can't do anything with it from then on. I also sometime ssee a black box covering half of the srceen when I try to navigate the menu. The menu never open and the display jitters everytime I touch it.

Display sometimes flickers a lot, meaning the brightness goes form whatever I set it on to 0 every time I stop touching the display. It's very annoying possibly even health hazardous as contunous use of the phoen in this state is very disorienting at the very least. The only fix for this is restart.

Battery status is random to say the least. One second I have 50% th eother I have 8%, then I have 14%, then 80%, then 50% again. I have no idea how much battery I actually have and whether or not the phone needs charging.

Updates don't work anymore. I installed the first 2 updates (2-3 GB), but the new one (23 MB) can't be downloaded because something is missing (error message).

Can someone please help me with these issues? By the way I'm using the vanilla Pinephone 64 beta convergence edition with the OS it's shipped with.
