4th upgrade was successful after adding the repository. It is the best of the releases, it is the worst of releases.
Unfortunately I have no outgoing sound on any phone calls, incoming or outgoing so I had to stop using Arch as my daily driver. I reverted to an older Mobian on SD card. I'm kind of scared I may lose voice on Mobian too if I upgrade
The best: 2 days totally uninterrupted service, no problems, battery still had 37%.
The worst: at times the phone will not wake once it goes to sleep. Hard boot and repeat. The above success occurred after I spent 3 hours trying various power/display/sleep settings. I had given up and was quite surprised the next morning when it responded. At times I also had sound issues, of the notification sounds, bark would work properly but the other three occasionally produced an identical whine/buzz
The phone goes flaky whenever a USB cable is connected or removed. However, power management is vastly improved once the phone is charged. I now ensure it is 87% charged (mine won't charge higher?) before doing any work with it.
Communication between the modem and the OS still goes sideways after suspend/sleep. The icon will show no connection but the phone responds to incoming calls and texts but data does not work. A reboot is required for data.
Megapixels works very well other than it will not flip more than once. Looking forward to the resolution enhancements.
I am using the dock on a regular basis now. phosh will use the HDMI screen as a secondary, I must drag running applications
from the phone screen to the big one. Currently messing with the display manager to allow xfce when on the big screen and phosh
when standalone. An external power source is essential.
In attempting to port Kalliope I ran into an upstream Arch issue to do with the math libraries (blas/atlas/lapack) as well as Fortran versions... sigh.....
Since Kalliope runs easily on Debian I am going to move that project over to the Mobian SD card.
Thanks to all who contributed.
YMMV
