Namely,
my phone no longer received SMS text messages. I switched to &lt;a href=&quot;https://postmarketos.org/&quot;&gt;PostMarketOS&lt;/a&gt;, and
my issues seemed to have gone away, at least if I keep using the phone as a dumb
phone.  I have disabled wifi on the phone, because I really don’t use it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It would be nice if I could get the PinePhone to work well with &lt;a href=&quot;https://jmp.chat&quot;&gt;JMP.chat&lt;/a&gt;, but
currently the texts from my desktop machine do NOT sync well with the phone.  So
if I use two devices, I end up in a weird situation with out of sync text
messages, which is really confusing.  Plus using the internet on the phone
drains the battery.  So I have just disabled the internet on the phone via the
hardware kill switches.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Texting works flawlessly, but I cannot get SMS images.  Also the phone volume
for calls is pretty poor.  And sometimes when I make phone calls, I cannot hear
what the other person is saying.  So that is a little odd.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I highly recommend installing the reversed engineered and nearly &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/the-modem-distro/pinephone_modem_sdk&quot;&gt;libre custom
firmware&lt;/a&gt; for the PinePhone’s modem. It was actually &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aokclNgnIbE&quot;&gt;super easy to do&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It might also not be a bad idea to edit the official PinePhone wiki and mention
that &lt;a href=&quot;https://tello.com/&quot;&gt;Tello&lt;/a&gt; is a fairly cheap provider. I pay them $8 per month and I have no
data and unlimited calling and texting texts.  That’s pretty good.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That’s the main update for today!&lt;/p&gt;</content></entry></feed>
