Greetings All
After receiving my PMOS edition(2gb,16gb) model and playing around with it for a few days i started to do some distro hopping and found what i was looking for in Mobian. It seems to be a lot more stable and the UI more smooth to use then other distros.
Below is the bugs i have found after about a month of use, further down is my "Wishlist" of features i would love to see added in the future.
And since i don't know programming, i'm hoping this reaches the Mobian Team
Sometimes the menus and apps scaling is off i.e, it gets
cut off on the right side of the screen.
It seems completly random when it happens.
Weird clicking noise from speaker at random times
When entering sound settings, a high pitch whine and white noise plays.
Sometimes it stops after a few seconds and sometimes it keeps going for a long
time, it can sometimes be stopped by turning off the screen, and sometimes it keeps going.
Heat:
The phone gets very warm no matter what but when charging or transferring
files it gets almost unbearable.
Kings cross app:
Scrolling seems broken, if you run a command like dmesg and scroll
back, the screen snaps back to the start, and after trying that a few times
scrolling stops working and the cursor stops blinking, the app still works.
File transfer:
I tried to transfer some music files but for whatever reason i don't have acess to them.
When i use the "Files" app i have to enter a password when trying to enter the folders i
transferred. And no matter how many i try it does not accept the password of the phone.
This happens wether i transfer to the emmc or sd card, and after transfer some files
to SD card and plug iy back in my PC, i get an acess denied error.
Tried different cables, same result.
Transfering files to SD on pc and inserting it into the phone works.
Wishlist:
LED notifications:
Right now it blinks blue wether i received a call or a text, it would
be nice if color could be chosen based on the notification.
LED charging:
Having the LED on while charging and with color based on charge level
Screen rotation:
There only seems to be 2 options, portraite or landscape.
Could there be an option for automatic?
Being able to change theme in settings(dark mode)
Full disk encryption during first time setup
Controlling flashlight from lockscreen
Volume buttons:
It would be nice to have some feedback while pressing the buttons, both visual
and audio. And also having the popout having individual volume sliders for
alarms, phone and messaging.
Sounds:
Being able to change ring, messaging & alarm tones under settings.
Notifications dropdown:
When pressing the mobile, wifi or bt buttons it opens the settings menu.
Can there be an option that when pressing the buttons simply turn the respective
features on and off?
When pressing the beel icon, silent mode can be turned on and off.
Lollypop:
Back button in the top left corner is greyed out in many menues.
Being able to:
Browse files directy
Create a playlist from folder
Add file to playlist
Alarm:
The LED blinks blue and an alarm sounds.
I wish it would turn on the screen and be able to turn off the alarm from the lock screen.
Power:
When plugging the phone in to a pc/charger, when it's off, the phone boots up.
It would be nice to either have to option, have the phone boot up, or just have the led
come on or maybe even have a battery logo on the screen that indicates charge level.
Maps(Location services):
Even if location services is turned off, when in maps i press the current location button,
it shows my location.
This is being discussed here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=11529
Would it be possible to make it so that the location services menu can turn on and off
the different sources independently?
