Announcing the Mobian project

Automatic partition resize did not work on an install I just did of 20201001 BTW.

Automatic partition resize did not work on an install I just did of 20201001 BTW.

1001 also no luck with phone call audio.  I tried manually setting input/output to "phone" profile, still nothing.
SMS works fine, so no problem w. network registration.

1001 as updated to today, seems to be a problem w. MVNO data.  I used nmcli to delete the connection I added using the GUI, then added a connection and up'ed it.  Then cell data became a route (with poorer metric than Wifi, so that's OK).  So... possibly problem with NetworkManager connections as added through GUI, and then a problem that the data connection was not up'ed, thus not used.

Will MMS compatibility be added to Mobian at some point ?

I can survive just fine without that function, 
   ... but I do have some unknown sender(s) that send those to my phone, and I must clear those or they eventually clog my modem.

Perhaps just a method to block or reject the MMS messages ?

Thanks

Mobile data is OK when I start up, but after resuming from CPU shutdown (CRUST etc.) no mobile data comes back:

mobian$ route

mobian$ .do nmcli connection up RedPocket

mobian$


So data part of modem appears to not be brought back?

See https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues/-/issues/69 and the upstream modemmanager bug it links to for some details on problems with the modem on resume. Also Megous' work on modem power management etc. and biktorgj's modem firmware work.

October 19 Nightly Release :
    Calls "work" if you toggle the 'Default/phone' setting (in sound settings) back and forth before each call...    Yeah, not very practical.

>  I Did the semi-auto software update after the  'notification'  popped up,  then no call functions worked, for me.
Testing on PMOS Convergent phone, with weak T-Mobile cell service.

(My Brave Heart phone using AT&T cell service, operates with only 'minor issues',  still using Oct 05 nightly.)

Oct 22 nightly release :

  Phone :  PMOS Convergence Edition, Mobian on micro sd card

  Still need to toggle the  'default and phone'  setting for phone calls,  but they sound ok when you do get the calls to work.

SMS text works,  no extra fiddling

Data works,  surfing is better using my laptop via hot spot than using the onboard browser.

  I am using my laptop to write this via my PMOS phone.

Nice to have the laptop 15.4" screen instead of the little phone screen.

I ordered the newest revision of the mainboard for my old Brave Heart phone,
>  Looks like that will arrive just in time for the latest "Reference" release of Mobian.

I have installed Mobian on the SD card, and it's really good. I was a debian guy, and my dream was a debian based-phone. Not really anymore, but this Mobian really rocks! I think I'm going to put it on the EMMC
