Frustration with development pace

[bcnaz]

@daniel

So by your reasoning the spare tire in the back of my truck is my  "MAIN TIRE"  ?  DUH..

Even before I had a Pine phone, I usually have had a spare phone in the glove compartment of my vehicle,  would that be my main phone ???

The objective 'here' is to help fellow forum members with using their Pine phones, and share what we learn.

We can contribute to the developers in different ways, some help write the software, while some contribute to the developers with cash.

Many of these developers are working for little or no pay,  So I find it very unjust and distasteful that so many just pile out their complaints.

That helps Nobody !

        ...  even as such a small operation.

Hi @bcnaz,



I am very surprised by your tone. I do not think I was complaining. I am supporting developers as much as I can. I am a fan of PP...



And because I like PP and want this project to survive, I allow myself to raise my voice to critique all the weaknesses. 



I apologize if you felt attacked or offended.



However, I wish we could disagree on any point, and still talk about that.



I just wanted to raise a point: People call 'daily driver' to different things. For me, a daily driver is my iPhone. I carry my PP with me? yes. I call from my PP? yes. Would I take it with me without the iPhone? No. However, I take my iPhone without my PP.

You are ( o were) in a similar situation; however, you call the PP your daily driver.

That's all.



I do not like the example of the spare tire. If you get a flat tire you use another tire of the same quality. You can get a flat tire and still there is nothing wrong with the tire. Maybe a nail on the road.



However, you carry another phone because you know PP is not fully working, you know you cannot trust it as a daily driver. That is what I wanted to say. PP is not ready as a daily driver yet, but I celebrate that you and I are using it every time we can

The main reason for me to carry multiple phones, is not because one is a "Pine" phone.
   I was carrying 2 phones before I got my first Pine phone.
One smart phone and one message phone.  Out in rural areas,  I often find only one has a signal, plus the option of differing battery life per phone.
  NOTE :
   My Pine phone(s) have been more reliable than the iphone 5 I bought new a few years back, it would freeze and I could only reset it by running it dead.
