UT on PinePhone: a great video today

@phoenixlandpirat My point basically was: every reviewer and (edit: nearly every) first time user is going to get stuck on the sync issues as that is almost the first thing people do on a new device.
For the more obscure issues you are talking about people might be more patient and look for workarounds, but first impressions are usually deal breakers.Fairphone 5 (waiting for port)

I am a first time user and I have no interest in synchronising anything, Please don't assume your desires are the same as those of other people.

Idk if you meant this, or worded it weirdly, but I don't think calling people and using headphones with a phone, is more obscure than using a syncing feature.
Did you mean that the solutions to the problems where obscure and thus aren't viable for first opinions?

Not all people.
I was a brand new user a year ago. I imported my contacts as a comma separated file, that went fine, and that's as far as that went. No other syncing required. -

What I meant is that calling and using headphones works on most UT supported devices, but easy syncing works on none.
Otherwise: not sure why people here insist on sharing their weirdness of not using syncing features on their smartphone
But just because "you" don't use it doesn't mean it isn't a very commonly used function supported as an expected core feature by every other larger mobile OS. -
Syncing isn't too big for me too
Importing is kind of enough. But I agree that syncing is an important feature. -
Hello, I am currently using my Nexus 5 as a daily driver. But I'm really impressed from the Pinephone (kernel channel).
Why I don't use it yet are the following reasons:
Bluetooth does not work. With the app Rockwork and a Pebble smartwatch I could often leave my smartphone in my pocket. That's a really big benefit for me. Unfortunately, not yet on the Pinephone. The 2nd is the instability of the modem. If SMS can not be received, that is, for me, really bad.
The synchronize with the Nextcloud I feel as nice to have, but I could still tolerate.
This will all certainly still come, but it unfortunately takes time.
So my Pinephone is currently running in hot standby

It's you! My fellow Pebble user! High five, sibling!

Don't worry, I will remain loyal to UT. I have tried a lot of distros thanks to the Pinephone, but at the moment they don't come close to UT. Sailfish also looks good, but really unstable. Manjaro, Postmarket OS, Mobian are really missing mobile friendly apps.
Simple things like a fuel app for gas prices or just a navi that is user friendly.
Of course, some other things work better, but the overall package looks better at UT.So it's really just a to wait for a stable modem.
-
@ohnez the other thing is that when I was on the none kernel uodated versions, bluetooth worked, but only for some devices, it worked for my earphones and headphones, but it had problems with my bluetooth keyboard and mouse, I think it connected tk the devices fine but couldnt figure out what the devices actually where, all those devices work fine on my OP3 minus my pebble and the pebble works fine on the OPO, so even when bluetooth works on the pinephone, I think there might still be some bluetooth enablement stuff to work on.
-
Yes that's right and there lies the problem :-).
If I want to have Bluetooth I have to be on the Dev channel.
If I want a more "stable" modem I have to be on the kernel channel.So either the Pebble Time is running or I can call someone
but I guess that soon BT will be available on the kernel channel
