Hello all,
on the same day when my Pinephone arrived, I straightly installed Ubuntu touch. My impression/experience is ..hard to explain since I didn't know what to expect.
I've installed most recent build available on 17/02/2020 CET evening using the Sandisk Extreme A1 Class 10 UHS-1. I didn't use SIM yet, I rather wanted to test basic things. Apart from everything which is known / reported not to work I have taken note of:
- using supplied usb cable, the battery didn't seem to charge or it was so slow that it wasn't noticeable (connected to laptop Lenovo T540p usb port) - even though battery indicator reported charging
- while having it connected to laptop via provided usb cable, screen sometimes activated on random basis (I didn't touch the phone) for few seconds
- while having it connected to laptop via provided usb cable, charging indicator changed on random basis, sometimes it showed it's charging sometimes not (I ensured I didn't touch cable nor phone at that time) this seems to be related to the point above
- I can hear strange "knocking" sound when the phone is booting, seems to be from the speaker
- when I left the phone powered on during the night, I couldn't "wake" it up by pushing / holding the button on the next morning. I had to remove the battery and put it in again. It worked and booted afterwards
- wifi signal strength (as reported by indicator) is 25-50% lower than on e.g Iphone SE at the same place
I guess I'll fire up issues on git as soon as I have some energy left for it.
What are your observations when it comes to the basic device functionality with ubuntu touch ?
