Been awhile, time for an update on the state of play.
Things have been crashy around suspend, it doesn't always wake up. Outbound calls have become spotty, try a time or two and you can usually call out. Think inbound is still ok. Texting works and the word over in the devel channels is mms is probably going to land real soon now, on target to be the first distribution to have it working, so that will be great. Be on the lookout for earpiece volume to find itself at zero, if it looks like it is dialing or taking a call and you can't hear anything, push the vol up button! The phone app now allows dialing from contacts, so improvements keep rolling in.
Camera is still megapixels only and it still comes up blue on the first run. But the current release works and is getting better. But no flash, no video and no using the camera with other applications like Gnome Authenticator. If you take the raw files and post process with UFRaw you can get decent pictures now.
The headphone issue is now known to be a problem with PMOS not detecting headphones. It will detect headsets though and do the right thing. Mobian works so the hardware can tell the difference, meaning it will eventually get fixed. Lollypop can prevent suspend, firefox can't. See code that is intended to keep it awake if sound is active, apparently doesn't work yet.
Besides the crashing, something else is up with power management, battery life has dropped visibly in the last week or two.
