1 for email? Geary is so cool on mobile, this is the last place I would complain about the state of things for mobile Linux.
Agreed on other points - phone calls are an absolutely crucial feature, but it’s one of the last things to be made work well on each model; due to number of technical difficulties related to modem support, modem software stack, and support for making four things work well at the same time: phone calls during suspend, good battery life, wakeup on calls and audio routing.
We’re getting there, but instead of coordinated efforts between different models, each phone requires a per-model/per-SoC solution for these issues - we’re not going to make it work well in the long run, I’m not sure we will ever be able to, given that the issues are directly related to driver support, it will always take some time.
A part of Drew’s issues could be fixed by using something like Mobian stable instead of pmOS. pmOS by design, at this point of time, isn’t able to avoid regressions, if “code freeze + testing” period takes only one month and pmOS gets shipped with known issues and regressions. What in my opinion should be done, is releasing new pmOS as a Release Candidate only, and fixing all regressions per each device, before it’s greenlit and recommended as an update to those using old stable release.
