Feature request - it would be nice to have this to reduce the strain on my eyes at night

@Andrisk Sounds like it got stuck on the update. Try this https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10130

For Nexus 5 PolarCell.

I've put a lot of work into it, and other than doing the Nexus 5X battery mod, no battery works better.

Would it be possible to incorporate a Swype style keyboard action or hand writing recognition into Ubuntu Touch?

@nebulom Replace it with the PolarCell LG Nexus 5 D820/D821 battery. Best aftermarket battery i've found

@GizmoChicken Pine64 forum says LTE with GPS optional if using EG25 module that is in the Pinephone - using the expansion board they have made.

I do hope they recommend the best place in the case to place the antennas.

@doniks Thanks for adding 64 bit support!

Maybe some of these ideas will help?

Apparently there is a group already working on a solution to access the camera from the android HAL and present it to Linux:

"provides a set of interfaces to libcamera for existing applications; they will include a V4L compatibility layer, an Android HAL interface, and a GStreamer interface. The intent is to make libcamera suitable for all Linux-based devices." https://lwn.net/Articles/794555/

@jjconstr The Nexus 5 is a great phone, soon to be better with a halium upgrade. The main complaint about it is finding a good replacement battery. I've tried a couple and found the best battery is from a German company - PolarCell Battery for LG Google Nexus 5 D821 D820 BL-T9 EAC62078701 2450mAh. It is available on eBay if you are not in the EU.

It's a good quality after market - which means new, not old stock sitting on a shelf for half a decade, nor is it a cheap knock off rebranded. I've had it for a year now and still holds a full charge just like it used to when I bought the phone from Google.

@totalsonic You know, I'm curious. Since your Volla has dual sim on UT - Since Verizon is in the process of shutting off CDMA, and all new SIMs are LTE/VoLTE by default, I wonder if that gives you an option to use Verizon for data on your Volla? You'd have to try it with an IMEI agnostic MVNO such as Red Pocket or US Mobile if you're curious to try it.

@tigerpro Verizon has switched completely to VoLTE. And is refarming their CDMA bands to VoLTE. I have several GSM only devices on Verizon (via US Mobile) now as a result, even though they do not have band 13, nor CDMA capability.

Sprint is mixed CDMA, VoLTE, and GSM. And has filed complaints against T-mobile because they are turning off Sprint's CDMA now.

@sringgen Verizon is not yet supported. Ofono needs modifications to support VoLTE to make that happen. It's being worked on, but is a difficult problem.

I read on reddit or xda that the problem could be with which android 9 ROM you used. Apparently, somewhere closer to android 10, a couple of the builds broke sms/mms on android for the 3A, which would break it here.

So, maybe try flashing an earlier or later version of the android 9 factory build. Could explain why some have working sms and some do not.

@nutmeg also try turning wifi off, and reboot with it offf as per this https://forums.ubports.com/post/53329

@nutmeg see pm from Pinephone site, and welcome aboard here!

@flohack Then mark yes for GPU acceleration. Runs 1080p video smooth, without getting hot and good cpu load.

@matteo The first is a known halium 9 problem on multiple devices.

The second is because no one has come up with a splash image yet to replace it, as the device is relatively new to the installer.

@nitro Still need confirmation that BT and hotspot work as they do not on @Flohack device but they do on mine. (So that can be checked off on the what works list). Mine lasts a day, and i've run it for a week, but he still needs someone to confirm it works for them as well.

The only thing I know that does not work is MMS, which seems to be a halium 9 issue, not a P2XL issue.

And then there's hardware acceleration and NFC that I haven't tested. @Flohack how does one test to see if hardware acceleration is working?

Did you remember to enable usb debuging under developer options in android? - Being sure to click yes on the always allow this computer trust prompt? Then wipe data in TWRP after?

You should still have fastboot access to re-install android and try again
