Frustration with development pace

[bcnaz]

My Pine phones are working !

I do not have missed calls, or undelivered texts,    I do carry a dumb message phone as a secondary back-up because of that possibility.

The while,  I do use the Pine phones as my main phones, they are still in development.  I do use different carriers for each Pine phone to try and see if
  one carrier works better than the other at the same time and conditions.

I do have to sometimes,  restart the phones,  but my previous iphone and Google phones had to be restarted sometimes also... SO ?....


I DO Contribute $ to the Developers also.

Since I am a basic GUI user I cannot contribute code, But, I do help where I can.

 
So, calls in /out, text in/out are no problem for you?

This is not the message we get from many users, or from @AmazingNutria

I tried to use at least to surf the web with Firefox. It is not practical

I will donate to megi too

Yes, calls and text work...  Sometimes the audio is less than perfect, but still usable, a little 'scratchy'.
   but sometimes very clear.
   Sometimes during writing a text it flashes back to the log-in screen, not often, but annoying.

Often with a fresh OS, the first 2 - 4 calls will have no ring tone and/or no audio, but after a few
attempts and checking the sound settings, it works after that.

For data you need separate APN's for 3g and 4g,  a bit annoying.

 Currently I am contributing to the Mobian fund.

My opinion :  I think many people are using their Pine phones successfully, or you would see hundreds 
of complaints here. Thousands of Pine phones have been sold already.

YES, they have a way to go yet, 

But as I stated before :      "I am just a GUI Linux user"

   SO,   IF I can use a Pine phone,  it is not that hard to do.

(Not every release works, and some releases work better than others)
