That's not a complete address.
There's multiple issues I've found with my ppp so far. I don't know whether they're to do with the Kali install, the underlying kernel, or
I'm using Debian/Unstable which seems reasonably good.
OK, I'll look into it. Maybe I can update some packages without doing a complete re-install, as kali pinephone is built on debian. There's dependencies, but we'll see.
That might work.
Another is that the microphone does not seem to work at the start of a voice call. You can fix this by cycling the speakerphone setting, but I don't know why this fixes the issue.
Sounds like a big worth reporting to the distribution. But is using such a device as an actual phone something that the Kali people really care about?
OK, fair point. I'm puzzling over what package would be responsible for this. Can you see this problem?
I'll try it when I get my spare SIM back.
Sounds like you are doing some good work on this. It might be better for you to use Debian/Unstable, file bugs against Debian, and get write access to the Debian wiki to document things.
I'll look into it, but too many times in the past I've "jumped ship" only to find the original problems were still there. I'd be more confident if I could see how things are different in the change logs, and suggestive of a fix.
Kali is based on Debian/Testing so Debian will work in a very similar way to Kali. The reason for changing is not to get bugs fixed but to be able to report bugs to someone who cares about it.
It's been reported that Wifi 2.4GHz and Bluetooth conflict. Which is particularly annoying given the battery life issues and the fact that 5GHz Wifi apparently uses more power.
I've not seen such a conflict, just that the drivers don't work without making "manual" pulseaudio routes.
It's not a conflict when loading drivers, it's a conflict in use. The symptom I noticed was that sound from Bluetooth speakers was dropping out when Wifi was in use.
I preer KDE Mobile but Phosh seems preferred by Purism and Pine64 employees. The apps responsible are calls and chatty, which are called by phosh IIUC. Does KDE use different apps for phonecalls and text?
I think it's the same apps for that. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
