However I did not find a solution for the following problems:
Any help to solve these problems are highly appreciated.
- When booting, the min. 8 characters of the password for unlocking Luks must be entered. Very often the correctly entered password is only accepted after up to 6 trials. Since I typed it very carefully, there must be a bug in the software.
- When the screensaver got activated, there is another password required to activate the system, and there too often several attempts are necessary.
- The phone allows calling and rings when calls arrive. However the sound is not usable. There seems to be kind of automatic gain control which results in a loud noise, more intensive than arriving voice.
- I was not able to use the SMS&Chat app. When started it prompts "Chose a contact". When pressing the "+" key in the top left corner, the stored contacts are shown. However, when I select an entry with a mobile number, the program drops back to the previous screen asking again "Choose a contact".
- When switching off Bluetooth it gets activated upon next booting. This kind of settings should be permanent.
- Sometimes the screen of an application (like chat) gets locked and wiping up the bottom "^" sign does not put it in background. The only way out is switching off the phone and rebooting.
- I did not find sufficiently detailed instructions to install an email client and a file browser supporting cifs.
