Good morning all.
I received a Pinephone 3GB Manjaro ARM 64-bit GNOME 3.38.1 Wayland 3 weeks ago.
I don't know how to access the version of Manjaro
I have the following difficulties:
The phone offered me an update which I accepted, believing it would improve operation. The operation has not changed, however, I cannot find a trace of this update …
Manjaro gives me the feeling of being a distribution intended for the desktop, on which the developers added "quickly" a phone app and an SMS app, and that the development of the latter two is not complete …
What can I do now, knowing that I only started learning linux last night?
Update Manjaro if there is a version for which these bugs have been fixed?
Install another distribution, proven and with which this phone would be compatible? Does it exist?
Thanks for your attention.

I have the following difficulties:
- The autonomy is ridiculous: 24 hours in full standby. By exclusively using the "power" application, it displays an instantaneous power demand of more than 3W for a voltage of 3.9V, which would empty a battery of 3000mAh in about 4 hours ... The battery does not seem to be involved but rather the consumption of the device.
- When I try to make a call and it does not succeed (off-network), when I recover a network, I have to reboot the phone to be able to make a call.
- During a call, my correspondents can hear me weakly.
- When I receive a call (the phone wakes up), the ringtone does not ring for 5-10 seconds.
- When I get a text message, the notification is displayed but I cannot open it to read it. I have to wait for one or two more text messages to be received before I can open it …
- The calendar app is unusable: the buttons are so small I would need a stylus to reach them. I wrote down an appointment, it displays with a character size of 1mm, unreadable without a magnifying glass and cannot be enlarged.
- Some applications, such as "File History & Trah" have a display that overlaps the screen and is not crollable, therefore unreadable.
