Hi All,
Each update in the last few weeks has been better than the last. Thanks everyone!
The latest update (04/27) seems more responsive to me. The installation is much smoother now that the auto-brightness seems to be less aggressive. I haven't needed to shut it off yet. The default scaling factor is working for me too so far. I hope that it will make some of the apps easier to work with when they bring up menus. Evolution browser seems to be working a bit better, maybe because wifi is more reliable.
Tapping on the top bar brings up the sliders for volume and brightness as well as status of wifi/cellular/battery. I see that it now brings up a power button that allows you to pick the kind of shutdown/logout/reboot that you want. But, it shows up right where the battery icon was (top-right), which makes it more likely that I'll tap on it by accident or because the phone interprets a single tap and two taps. I'll try to practice tapping the top-middle, but I think that others might instinctively tap the battery icon to see battery status, or wifi for wifi status, etc.
I'm not sure if this is a Firefox issue or something specific to the pinephone, but when I play inline videos I'm hearing the audio get super distorted with frequencies being down-shifted, especially obvious with human voices that begin to sound demonic. Any idea where I should report and/or diagnose this problem?
I hope that these reports are helpful. I'm also curious how best to contribute to this project. Is there a place where I can donate some money like the UBTouch folks?
Thanks!
Chris
