My Daily Manual QA

[Cree]

Notes: New tester working through this OS.  With some new tests. Will be adding a few more tests very soon.

Results: mobian/2020-08-17

Conclusion:  This OS is not ready for the pinephone to be a daily driver. There are some sound quality issues on calls.


Also, Soon I will be creating new threads for testing results to engage a little bit better based on feedback on a few threads I have been monitoring.

Hello,
  I did a "software" update after flashing the above listed 'nightly release' (August 17)
Then the camera does function, - usable but not great yet.
** However, then the sms/text app does not function properly...
The sms/text app will only open after it receives an incoming text.

What would be a way to evaluate the battery? It makes me crazy. It discharges overnight, it gets too hot during charging, it last few hours... The battery is an important point, not easy to evaluate I guess.

I heard CRust was supposed to help this but (unless its been included in one of the OTAs) Ive held off as i saw comments suggesting it interfered with other stuff. I noticed whther wifi is on or not has a lot to do with battery life. I also tjink screen brightness will prove to be a major factor. It drives me nuts how bright the pinephone screen is and that ive seen nothing to suggest they are working on making it dimmer. I feel i need sunglasses even on the dimmest setting.
