        @Giiba while theres no search function yet in teleports (but we know its missing...), theres an okayish search function in the web client, which should do the job actually...

          @hummlbach well it is a moot point now... in my trying to figure it out I now cannot log in for what looks like 54000+ mins.

          I'm going to ask in the Matrix group this evening as a month old answer seems out of date anyways.

            Ok, I have clarification of the update question.

            We should be reflashing a rootfs regularily because apt is not upgrading the kernel, only ubports components.

                @Bolly no, not unless there is something more to be added. Thanks for pointing this in the right direction, I forget about the chat channels at times.

                  Does flashing the rootfs loose the data?

                    @Fla yes, it is basically a factory reset. I assume this will be fixed when the Pinephone is transitioned to image based updates.

                      @Giiba so I have a hard time figuring out how the link above "running ubports as a daily driver" can work...

                        @Fla when the phone first started shipping those steps were necessary to make certain hardware function, and I think the information is relevant even if they have subsequently been fixed by updates. The low level command line stuff there might prove useful in troubleshooting.

                        I have been neck deep in school work so I really don't know if modem and sound are fixed in the latest builds.

                          @Giiba Sound is working now right after flashing.
                          About the modem, I didn't try with my SIM (Covid19 made my phone a work tool)

                            I’m going to use the Pine phone with a hub like this one.
                            Will HDMI audio work when the Pine phone is connected to the hub via USB-C and the hub is connected to the TV via HDMI ?

                                @Giiba I'm not talking about bugs. Bugs are fine, they'll be squashed and will disappear with a future update. But... that's my point. If you can't update the phone without loosing your data (sms, contacts...), then you can't update it and see the bugs vanish. So you can't use it as a daily driver. Or am I missing something here?

                                  When UT will be ready, OTA will be available for the PinePhone.
                                  Meanwhile you have to burn SD cards to do so.

                                  And you can save your data before updating... and restore them using SSH if you want.

                                    Not only SSH, they are multiple ways to do so, more or less user friendly, :grimacing_face:

                                      I'm running it as a daily driver for one year, but on the FP2 which has OTA updates. I'm talking about the PinePhone here πŸ˜‰

                                        @Flohack Apologies for posting this here. I have tried to register on the gitlab site but so far it is refusing my registration. On there, issue # 78 shows a picture of vertical lines running down the phone. I had that for a bit, but now, with download 280, or thereabouts, they are visible (though faint), but only on the login screen. The screen flickers a lot too. Just posting as Dalton said on the ticket that no-one else had reported a similar issue with their Braveheart. Sorry, image not the best.

                                        No longer the case since about #290

                                          Hello,

                                          I had Ubunto touch running with a February 8th image, I just tried flashing the latest one (April 18th ) and it does not boot. Are there known issue with latest build ? Is there one from a particular date I should try. I flashed the old image from Feb 8th and it did boot fine.

                                          Thank you,

                                          Alexandre
