Quote:This is so so so depressing and upsetting. The simple fact Pine64 can't get their act together, is sad to me. I wanted a linux phone so bad. I wrote and raved and was ok with it not being a fully working phone and a project in progress, but this is unforgivable to me.Be careful with such harsh words!!!
You might get shaken to death by a gang of unlimited addicts of this phone or patronized by a mod...
The only thing I know to do now, if I can't get Pine64 to exchange the phone is to attempt to flash the firmware of the modem other than that, I gave Pine64 $200.00 for nothing and if that's the case I rather have given it to one of the dev's for their hard work.

Not because of a displeasure with Pine64, but because of their demeanor within the community. You're more than welcome to express any displeasure with the phone.I've read about flashing the modems firmware. I installed the PMOS factory test. Testing the modem through that, shows both the Verizon and T-Mobile SIM Card. But if I run the test on the modem a 2nd time that's when doesn't show the T-Mobile SIM Card again, it just gets stuck and says "Waiting On Modem . . . . ". So, if I can find a dummy proof way to flash the modems firmware maybe just maybe that will fix it.
There are users invested in the hardware that may provide counter points, but through respectful discourse, this can bring attention to new issues and potential solutions.
Good luck with your sale, I'm sure it won't take too long for someone to purchase it from you.
