Hello All,
I have had my PinePhone running the first Sculpt image for a couple of weeks now. I don't have anything interesting to report beyond what others have said - the system boots in about 5 seconds, the Leitzentrale UI is intuitive and smooth, the battery indicator isn't very accurate, etc.
Unfortunately, I also have a problem that seems to be common for various reasons - I don't have data connectivity. In my case, it's because I have a talk/text-only plan, but I can't test the phone functions either because my SIM card (T-Mobile USA) is not recognized.
I am itching to try the various presets, and was wondering if any of the following ideas would be feasible:
- Providing an on-disk depot for the presets. (Excluding the web browser, which would be useless without connectivity anyway, seems like it would keep the size down.)
- Letting us know when the WiFi or wired LAN drivers are ready for testing, even if it's before the next release. (I have the USB network dongle, so either one would work for me.)
I am currently having trouble building the PinePhone Sculpt image from source (which I will address in a separate message), but I will be happy to do custom builds if necessary (including for SIM debugging). It just looks like too much fun to wait! ;^)
Thanks!
