I've received a refurbished #pixel3a ...
I have installed #postmarketos / #sxmo on it and it "mostly works" even with no device profile
I now need to figure out how to tweak callaudio to make calls ... it works on gnome mobile, but on sxmo, it fails to switch to "call mode" ... on pavucontrol I only see a "Voice calls" profile (same on gnome mobile but works there)
I should have some time next week to try and figure out, but by then, if someone has an idea, they are welcome ;)
Small update on #sxmo on #pixel3a
* Calls work very well with the forecoming ucm profiles
* sensors working through iio proxy, sxmo scripts to use them for proximity works
* wifi and 4g data ok
* front camera works in megapixel preview, won't take photo but this should evolve quickly
* gps enabled but not sending data/status (as with op6 from wrong android rom)
If I compare #pixel3a with #oneplus6 on #sxmo
#op6 has gps, status led, tristate button, better cpu and an headphone jack
#p3a has better sound in calls, cameras starting to work, no notch, smaller size
Two very good phones to use on #linuxmobile
I won't have much time to play this weekend, but I've kept my sim in the #pixel3a for now ;)
@fdlamotte Oh oh, thanks for the comparison, now I'm tempted to get one too..
@flamingradian no, I don't have this disapearing audio issue ...
What I experienced with op6 is low volume or saturated sound with pulse and various issues with pipewire ...
I managed to live with it but had to isolate me sometimes while making calls
@fdlamotte Interesting, users don't always have a SIM card in a phone running mainline so experiences with calling are a bit uncommon.
