It was also able to start a call (dialing out), but it would fail every time before the receiving phone rang even once.
I checked the APN setting and set the cellular mode to 2G/3G/4G. I could not turn on 4G VoLTE (it wouldn't let me--permanently greyed out--but this is no surprise).
I gave up and tried two different PostmarketOS images, the one with sxmo and another with Plasma. Both were able to register the SIM and make calls, AND the audio was acceptable (unlike Mobian bookworm, which did have call audio but awful quality, and unlike Mobian trixie, which had zero call audio at all).
I am going to stick with PostmarketOS for a bit. I really liked the sxmo version but it is a bit hard to operate with the text being so small.
So, unless someone posts here that they got Ubuntu Touch working and how to do it, I'll give up on Ubuntu Touch for now. Too bad--I really like the interface!
can you give a comparison of battery % burn per 10 min on each OS/distro you mentioned?
I find mobian trixie burns about 10-15% per 10 min on the pinephone pro when in active use.
I use my PPp as a daily phone but unless I have it in suspend mode I need to be plugged in, even listening to an audiobook burns most of a full battery in an hour even with the screen blank/dark.
Thinking about this further, there is probably a LINUX utility that we can find and modify that graphs the battery life of our PinePhone Pros over time, possibly even recording a history of what processes or even which hardware components are using the most battery at each minute.
This would give us a clear, objective way to compare distros and also begin to optimize battery life in any specific distro.
