@slowcyclist Interesting find, thanks for the effort. @slowcyclist said: never use their gps for extended periods Yes that's the case for me, although these last days I just tried that, and I got effectively 2 occurences of GPS not updating any more (launched Puremaps and Gps app together to make it more interesting). For me the reason is that the FP5 is gulping energy at such a rate that I try to stop services when not actually in use. The only difference is that the GPS service (lomiri-location-service) never stopped for me (according to systemctl status) so no crash with unaligned errors, although I got the second time (did not think to check for that first time) segfaults and several restarts of sensorfwd service, maybe caused by this problem.

@gpatel-fr @FlavioMala, indeed the newer Bluetooth stack had the side effect of breaking usb_tethering. I could fix it by applying a small patch and recompiling the kernel. The patch is attached to the issue.

I still don't know how to make the sdcard appear directly on my desktop computer when I connect my phone, but I have a workaround : symlink the sdcard mount point in the /home/phablet directory ( = "internal storage" on the desktop computer). This is easily done using the terminal (or adb shell). Find the exact mount point of the sdcard using the command mount; it is something like /media/phablet/XXXX-YYYY. Then enter ln -s /media/phablet/XXXX-YYYY ~/sdcard
