No ability to cancel out of Applications in Both KDE Plasma AND Mobian

[Basic]

One pic is Manjaro KDE Plasma Mobile, the OTHER is...Mobian. The phone came with Manjaro just this month... I put Mobian on it and it has the same issues!

Swiping to exit applications does not work on Mobian for me, I just tried it every way I could, but to no effect...in any case thank you for the suggestion.  Mobian says I am Up to date....

Wifi works great on Mobian BTW, both Mobian and Manjaro read my SIM card. I wonder if it's bad /"unlucky" RAM, or some other hardware issue.

May want to give Arch a try. Arch is similar to Manjaro but more stable. I have not tried Mobian much so I can not speak to that. As for sms that should be working on both Arch, Mobian and Manjaro but obviously that can also be dependant on your carrier. I am on T-Mobile and it works great. As for swiping up on apps to close them, I know that works fine in Arch and Manjaro on Phosh by clicking the app menu arrow "^" then swiping up on whatever app you want to close at the top. Another issue I just thought of with sms is that I believe if the modem gets filled with mms messages that did not go through due to it not being implemented yet, that could block sms's from coming through. There is a way to clear them out if that happens, but I am not sure how. Maybe someone else can chime in on that part.



* Found the code to check/clear mms (See below: This was posted on Matrix and I have not tried it myself so be careful)


Shows the messages jamed up by number:

Code:

sudo mmcli -m 0 --messaging-list-sms

Then delete them one by one with this:

Code:

sudo nmcli --modem 0 --messaging-delete-sms=##

Thank you for the recommendation of ARCH...I am looking in to it now.

I am sure Mobian works on Pinephone, but either not mine, or it's the way it was flashed.  Again, it came from the factory un-usable in KDE Plasma. 

I am also re-reading all the documentation I can...

"Detailed usage instructions

1. Download the Jumpdrive image
   
   
2. Flash the Jumpdrive image to a micro SD card
   
   
3. Boot the PinePhone from the Jumpdrive micro SD card
   
   
4. Connect the PinePhone to your computer using USB-A -> USB-C cable
   
   
5. Flash the exposed PinePhone drive (e.g. /dev/mm..., check for the right device in dmesg, GNOME disks, or similar, and make sure it's unmounted) with your chosen OS image
   
   
6. Once the flashing process is complete, disconnect the PinePhone from your PC, power it down and remove the Jumpdrive SD card
   
   
7. The process is now finished, and you can boot from eMMC"
   
   
   Now I have been using Trisquel 7 Gnome Archive manager to flash on to "16GB eMMC" I doubt that is the issue...another possibility is the phone is on step 6 it says to power down the device, and the power down button on jump drive does not work for me....
