- VoLTE seems to be hit and miss. It seems that I can talk and the other person can hear me, but I cannot hear them. I also have to call several times for it to work. Overall, I think if I can solve the MMS and Call issues, this is a strong contender for a daily driver. This at least solves almost all of the issues I was worried about if my Librem5 went belly up for some reason. Also, to the folks who have been working on making this work, thank you very much for that work! 3/3

Ok, so I tracked down the MMS issue, it is related to suspend. It seems that when the modem comes out of suspend, it will report that it has internet connectivity, but it really doesn't. The workaround is to toggle the cell function on and off. If I disable suspend, MMS works fine. I am curious as to how suspend affects battery life, as if I can get away with not suspending and having a decent battery life, it isn't a problem.

So unfortunately, device audio on both the OnePlus 6 and 6T is very unreliable with the speaker, earpiece, and mic on Phosh. Hopefuly I can look into it within the next few days/weeks, as the phone works wonderfully otherwise. I have also noticed the camera is finicky as to whether it wants to show up too.

@kop316 Thanks for your report! My Librem 5 is aging (connection to GPS broken, back cover does not fit properly anymore after I had to replace the display). So I kind of looking for a successor in the mid-term. I assume modem connection is significant more stable then with the L5? Does calling without VoLTE, so 2G or 3G, work properly? The overall performance is much better then the L5 or? As the Snapdragon 845 seems to be much faster then the i.MX 8M Quad according to PassMark benchmarks?
