Another question whose answer is very important to me. Do any of the distros support disabling 4G on the PinePhone? I'm asking because I really want to use CDMA2000(Sprint 3G).
Sprint is in a state of flux now. Since T-Mobile took over, they have activated B2 1900 on T-mobiles network for Sprint customers. So you should be seeing greater 4G coverage and VoLTE on that band. However, they are taking away B41 2500 completely and dedicating it to 5G NR. Despite complaints, they are currently not planning on keeping LTE on that band, effectively bricking access to that band for all but the Samsung Galaxy S20.
As far as CDMA/EVDO Sprint was sunsetting that network before the T-Mobile acquisition, and T-Mobile is not changing that plan. https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/comments...ctivation/
Ubuntu Touch has no way to set 3G/4G/LTE preference. I saw a commit on git to add the capability to select network preference type in ofono but it's not available yet. Some of the other builds don't use ofono, so someone using them will have to tell you if they can.
