Pin64.org looks to have been much too optimistic

[ThrillGates]

Before ordering PinePhone PMos edition, I studied this forum and the details of the ordering page. There Pine64.org wrote:

" ... while core functionality of the PinePhone – such as telephone calls, SMS messages, LTE, GPS, GPU acceleration, etc. – is operational ..."

I am well aware that this is not a final product ready for everyday consumers and am also prepared to do some tinkering.

However, as several recent posts in this forum show, the basic function of telephone calls, SMS messages, GPS and input of passwords are not correctly working and need quite some fumbling.


I expect tillim (Founder) and Luke (Community manager) to give some explications and to show how we can easily get a corrected and easily installable firmware fulfilling the promise given when selling.

All of these things worked for me out of the box on PMOS, UBports, and Mobian. Some config required, but no fumbling around here. Pine was very clear about the state of these devices and I for one was pleasantly surprised by how functional and polished some of these distros are.

The tone of your post is rude and reeks of entitlement. Don't expect much help with this kind of attitude.
