Another month or so and more bugs.
Calls are getting more reliable as texting becomes useless. It is now common to lose texts entirely, or have one come in with a week delay. Rebooting sometimes causes a text to appear, if you know you are missing one... usually after they call asking why you didn't reply to their text. Grrr. Still can't configure calling features so can't disable a second call coming in while in a call, and you still lose hard if that happens. Haven't done much touchtone use in the last month so can't report if it is improved or not.
Anbox at least launches... some days. But while the keyboard was almost useless before, it is entirely useless now, as in no keystrokes register, except that pressing backspace gets an "=" and numbers or "." work normally. Using a BT keyboard gets different but equally unusable results. Today the splash screen will hang, apparently forever, unless you tap it. Did get FreeOTP to launch. Once. Restarting anbox-container-manager isn't enough to sort it out when it stops launching things, only rebooting works.
The bug with phosh has now survived multiple updates to almost everything related and it persists. Xsettings enabled, sad face, disabled everything runs. Pretty sure there are consequences to not having Xsettings running but.... no choice.
Other distributions solved detecting both headphones and headsets months ago, PMOS still can't see a pair of headphones. So I have a script to manually frobnicate ALSA so my noise canceling headphones work. No way I'm diving into the event system, ALSA and the kernel to find the nexus between all that mess.
