Librem 5 - is it the software or the hardware?

• tapping the screen and nothing happen…
• trying to connect with the software store and nothing happens
• problems with updating software
• trying to close a program and it doesn’t want to close
• phone getting super hot while on call
• Wi-Fi not always reliable working with internet quite slow
• file manager behaving on idiosyncratic manner

This is mostly software. For improved WiFi, you should try upgrading the RS91116 firmware.

I don’t think that there is much that Purism can do about the heat of the BM818 cellular modem. Maybe BroadMobi will release new firmware in the future that reduces that, but M.2 modems are known to run hot, which is why they have big heat spreaders.
