Yeah. I have been using it only for the past 3 months. Works pretty well with VoLTE, SMS/MMS, Visual Voicemail, Calls, internet. I second just reaching out to their support, they have been pretty good at helping to fix things, even obs

> I'd much rather see them put time into the core product. ....what's wrong with the core product? I've used it since at least 2013, and the core product has been flawless.

I'm confused. `apt-get upgrade` doesn't remove packages. `apt-get dist-upgrade` tells you what packages it will remove and has you confirm that you want those packages removed before you proceed. https://www.debian.org&

Heh, anecdotally, on two of my previous phones, the USB-C port failed on me in the exact manner to describe. Since I couldn't take the phone apart without destroying it, the phone was then effectively useless. I never had that issue wi

Good enough for me. Without any metrics, I have no idea what to compare to.

I personally tell you that the full time Purism devs were instrumental in helping me port MMS/VVM to Phosh/Chatty (without their help, MMS/VVM would not exist for Mobile Linux) and they have gone well beyond what I would expe

> it does not invalidate the parent's statement. I mean...without any metrics (from you or the parent) the statement is pretty hollow and doesn't mean anything.

> considering the new competition with the Pinephone Pro that's coming out Heh, with how the developers cooperate, you would never know there was competition. But seriously, if you do want to fund Mobile Linux, buy a Librem 5. Puris

When I used a Pixel 3a with LineageOS, I recall never having to think about battery life unless I didn't plug it in overnight, and even then, it would survive just fine for a second day, it would just be at like 20-30%?
161.
by kop316 5y ago
No, that is likely not a mistake. The battery life on my Librem 5 is ~8 hours for me on standby with the Modem/Wifi on, I can probably get a bit longer without wifi on. With moderate usage, I would say it drops to ~5-6 hours? But I hav

The Pinephone Pro's software support is will a WIP. It mostly works, but there are still quite a few quirks before I would feel comfortable using at as a daily driver. (For comparision, I have no qualms using a Pinephone or Librem 5 as

I'm glad to hear MMS works so well for you! Usually other than my own usage, I don't hear too often about folks for whom it works for, usually only issues or help supporting it. Chatty used to use a libpurple plugin, but the dev r

by kop316 5y ago
You could probably ask their support, they are very good at responding. That being said, they use coreboot and hardware with open/well known drivers. I actually bought a Librem 14 and installed Windows on it for my spouse, and surprisi

If possible, could the title be modified to spell out what "PoS" means? PoS aliases to "Piece of S***" and "Point of Sale", both of which give the headline a bit of a different impression on what to expect. Tho

From what I can tell, Turing.com scrapes emails from open source contributions. Turing.com has been sending automated emails to the address I use for contributing to Open Source, but uses the name of the maintainer of the repo I contributed

Heh, I was just thinking the same thing. A car with all of that "functionality" off? That sounds pretty good to me!
170.
by kop316 5y ago
Yeah that is my understanding too. You REALLY don't want a hold time violation, as you have to go in and edit the chip circuitry to fix that.
171.
by kop316 5y ago
I mean...in my mind, that raises more questions. All of the "Additional Cool stuff" to be implies that it was fabbed out on mpw-1 and they have tested it. Why take a random image then if you have die shots or a picture of the GDS?

by kop316 5y ago
According to this website: MPW-1 had a hold time violation in it's clock tree, so the RISC-V is unusable. https://www.zerotoasiccourse.com/post/mpw1-bringup/

I get that, but the link literally says: "The Open Source FPGA ASIC". With that in the title, I would expect to be able to find the source of the FPGA.

I don't think they are the same: Look at the picture in it versus in the link: https://groupgets-files.s3.amazonaws.com/Efabless/open-sourc... They are different. Also, if you go to https://vlsicad.ucsd

Yep, I wrote most of the support in for Chatty myself as well. Chatty works pretty well with MMS, and I have been using a Pinephone/Librem 5 full time for almost 2 months now.

I mean...that's why I said "more or less". There are of course differences, but a lot of app development can be done on a linux system and a cross compiler.

I would ask, what is it you want to do? Linux phone development is more or less the same as linux development, just with a computer that has a smaller screen and a modem.
