My Daily Manual QA

[natasha]

Your QA is a useful tool but your results differ from mine where i have posted separately. Build 14 was pretty good for me except data. As of build 117, data is more stable, though i havent tested from too many locations. Where i have tested however, it works. Following other advice in this forum i've gotten just about everything i need working on the phone except the camera.

Im not a big camera person, so this isnt critical for me, but its certainly nice to have. The only issue i currently have are that in-call volume is constant, and the volume buttons dont change it. NBD since i can still hear and its not blasting loud either. The next issue is that screen is way too bright, even on lowest setting. Screen brightness does adjust which is good but i feel the dimmest setting is already very bright, and the brightest is just overkill. Fixing this might be a good battery saver too! Last issue is that having to initialize gos from terminal each time is a pain. Since we know the script, lets run it from the toggle or boot!

All in all, I'd say on build 117 the PinePhone modestly passes my QA and could well be a daily driver for many. It well surpases the capability of the 2012/2013 era smartphones if you don't care for photos. All other convenience or gimmick luxuries we forfeited coming into this. We're here for functioning phones, not spyware filled eyeball flashers. For where we are with what we've got, im thus-far pleased. Alas i would very much like to see continued progress, improvements, and involvement in this community from UBportsto ensure all is being addressed.

Can you clarify:

Where is posted?

Are we talking about plan coverage? why locations should be important to test the phone?

You do not need to use it. However, since the hone comes with camera, we cannot say is fully functional if the camera doesn't work.

Yees! I hope too!!
