      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 😉

          @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

                  The wifi drivers has many issues.
                  Have a look at gitlab there is a ticket and a workaround this issue.

                    I tried the usuall things then decided to flash #310 to emmc , but it would not recognise mmcblk0 and ssh would not connect.
                    So I tried Jumpdrive, on an sdcard and #310 .img from my PC , very simple ,what was all the fuss about .
                    Worth testing ,if you have not tried it.
                    (From #306 )

                            ( not my daily driver) But : build #7 (BH-Pinephone )
                            i have not been able to use the phone "network " i have reset APN`s , on reboot they are gone, or i cannot get the check mark to stay there.

                            anyone else or ----

                                Hi
                                I installed build #8 and #9 to an sdcard, it's really hard to boot to the OS I had to try tens of time to pass the "get started"...
                                Did you have the same issue ?
                                And out of curiosity how did you put the OS to the eMMC ? Using dd or other ?

                                  I just flashed #9 to the emmc this morning and I must say the OS is looking much better.I haven't touched the phone for a month but progress has clearly been made.

                                  Nice work devs!

                                    @AppLee the first time /emmc/ #7 on my pc ,extracted, and jumpdrive on sdcard , connected to pc then started pinephone, and used Balena-etcher to install ,takes 18 minutes ,because of the size.
                                    2nd time #8 onto sdcard using Balena-etcher , because i couldnt get the sim / apn to work and didnt want to mess with the emmc

                                    used OTA function to upgrade #7 on emmc to #9 ( worked a treat ),
                                    whilst changing sources ,it started downloading ,i could not see the download indicator immediately, once i did , i left it alone.

                                    if you use jumpdrive for another OS, may be better to adjust the size, before you start

                                          I have not due to the poor battery life. I need a phone so my OPO has the sim card.

                                          This switch to OTA updates makes me more willing to try as I didn't want to reset my settings every update.

                                            i just got phone and messaging working, the screen that asks if you want 2g/3g .or 2g/3g/4g/ i left that alone ,did not set anything - checked the reseller/reseller- apn without changes and entered apn for internet/mms . and checked that. now it works" sometimes the signal strength meter is empty with a cross / or is completely full, but still works.
                                            i usually get about a third strength reading
                                            but it works now
                                            i have not tried pics yet.

                                            BH and # 13 on sdcard
