Day four of daily driving my PinePhone Pro – 21/07/2026 Today was pretty relaxing with minimal need to pull out my phone. I only encountered one modem issue where it decided not to show up when I turned on my phone. I decided to restart ModemManager and the modem itself and it came back. Other than that the modem did not crash and I received all of my texts during the day reliably. I checked my Mastodon account using Tuba a couple of times during the day. I have noticed that it runs pretty poorly due to all of the constant post loading it has to do (that’s what I’m assuming). An update on the proximity and light sensors disappearing problem I was having yesterday. I have noticed that it seems to happen randomly. Sometimes they won’t even be initialized at boot. I’m going to take a look at this problem tomorrow in the hope I can find the root of the problem. I know most people don’t care about these sensors but it’s genuinely bugging me. Like why are they randomly dipping? WHY!? RAGHHHH!!! Anyway, sorry for the short one today, not much happened on my phone! (which is probably a good thing) Overall my experience is positive thus far, minus the blaring modem and sensor issues. Battery is currently manageable when I’m not using my phone intensely so I can warm my hands during winter. I’m also using a 20K powerbank to top up on the go when required. One last thing that is peeving me is how the time difference for getting things done between my Android and Linux phone is making me use my laptop a bit more for web browsing tasks. Don’t get me wrong, the performance is fine, but the difference is large enough to annoy me. ALRIGHT! I am going to go to bed at a slightly more reasonable hour this time. I will see you peeeeeeeeps in the next log! *backflips* #pine64 #pinephone #pinephonepro #mobilelinux #linuxmobile

Day five of daily driving my PinePhone Pro - 22/07/2026 Another day, another log (metaphorically and literally). Today was a work day so not much usage, but I did notice some things. My modem crashed today as I turned on the device when I started my first break. I checked my phone and the modem was gone. It quickly came back after around 10-15 seconds, but that was a bit strange. The other thing I noticed was that my phone did not suspend when I turned the screen off all day (at least until I rebooted it). The device on around 8% charge when I went on the previously mentioned break, I panicked and plugged it into my power bank. That was a bit of a scare. I hope that doesn't happen again. Again, not too much to talk about today as I was at work most of the day. But it seems like I am spending more time trying to fix issues when I'm not busy than actually using the phone itself, which is a little annoying. This is fine though, it's keeping me off my phone I guess. P.S: This just in at the very end of my log today. I restarted Mobian and the Wi-Fi driver decided to die and not load at all (brcmfmac failed to load for some reason I don’t understand yet, I didn’t prod into it further because I was about to go to sleep). That is great /s. Alright, good night guys. I'm going to restart Mobian and go to bed. PP.S: Yes I am very serious when I said I'd do this for a month. I will do it, watch me. WATCH ME!!! PPP.S (PinePhonePro script): The modem, it's right behind me isn't it PPPP.S (PinePhonePro post script): Haha modem go brrrrrrr #pine64 #pinephone #pinephonepro #mobilelinux #linuxmobile #insanelunatic
