Dialog boxes size perfectly:
Except this one for Keyboard Shortcuts, which has to be scaled down to 1.5x:
I haven’t tried importing a VPN configuration yet.

Only in amber-phone; it works in byzantium (a recent flatpak should work on amber-phone as well).

But when will Byzantium finally be there?
About now - https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/librem5-flash-image already defaults to flashing byzantium, and the new phones are being flashed with byzantium images now.
There’s no official upgrade path from amber-phone to byzantium yet though, so you should either do a backup-reflash-restore cycle, wait for upgrade instructions to arrive or try it on your own and take responsibility for any breakage

Messaging on Telegram works fine but I cannot see what I’m typing. The posh keyboard hides the text box inside telegram so you need to minimise the keyboard to check for any spelling mistakes.
Thank You. I will consider what I will do.
I had the same problem, there’s a setting that fixes it. I’m not sure what was it, maybe is Setting -> Advanced -> Use system window frame
if you installed the desktop telegram application from the PureOS repositories then you should be able to use the terminal command:
scale-to-fit telegramdesktop on
To make it fit the screen.

Huh?? How does this work? Does it work with all applications?
not necessarily there is a phoc (window composer) script called scale-to-fit it can make an application fit on the display:
scale-to-fit APPLICATION-ID on
With telegram it works ok, because it is only a small difference, basically scaling it down to 90%. With other applications there might be a bigger difference. And some non adaptive applications can look really small with this.

Very nice! I found it on my Mobian Pinephone, so I tried it with Evolution. It seems to work with the main form… a little hard to read, but more usable than before. I’m not sure that works with the child forms, however, as they still overflow the screen. Still, I’m eager to try it on other apps.

No, I installed it from the flathub repo. It’s ok I was only experimenting with it. the phone is nowhere near being usable as replacement for Android or iPhone so I’m not too fust about it.
What do you mean? I’m using it as a replacement to my old android phone
You know just minor details like not being able to read contacts from SIM, abysmal battery life, It doesn’t show up as external storage when plugged into a PC. Bluetooth is broken (at least on Amber), navigation apps cannot talk to GPS module. No easy way to flash phone to Byzantium.
I’ve never needed to read contacts from the sim, so I don’t know if that’s fixed, and I usually copy file via nextcloud or syncthing. Bluetooth (on byzantium) kind of work. GPS + pure maps kind of work, too (with gnss_share). I upgraded to byzantium “manually” (by changing repos, so I’ve not tried yet to upgrade the standard way, but I’ll have to in order to have FDE
edit: also, battery life is quite short (approx 6 hours with ~40 min of screen on, modem on and wifi off). But as a workaround I found a 30euros 10Ah power bank with USB-C and PowerDelivery which charges the phone well and should give a couple of charges, bringing the time up to 18hrs in theory. I’ve never measured it but when going out I always bring it with me and never had battery problems. It’s a Varta product if anybody is interested in a power bank that works ok with the phone)
I’m pretty sure I flashed mine pretty straightforward with the flash tool. I think it used to default to amber so I used a flag to flash byzantium.
It most certainly can do that. However the exact behaviour is complex.
If you just plug into a PC then it will show a nominal 1MB disk and you can use that to exchange files if you wish, and know what you are doing (and I have increased the size of this ‘disk’ substantially to make it more useful). I believe one of the developers said that this functionality may go away (by default) in the future.
If you boot Jumpdrive on the Librem 5 (plugged into a PC) then it does more or less what you want. Its two disks (the internal eMMC drive and the uSD card if you have one inserted) are exported as USB drives (USB mass storage device class) and you can mount those on the PC and read/write files as you see fit. A certain amount of caution is advised, since writing files includes wiping out some or all of your phone’s contents, including rendering it unbootable - but also of course the opposite - flashing it to make it bootable; and since if the phone also accesses one of its two disks then this is not synchronised between the phone and the host (but the phone has not booted from disk and has no need to access a disk).
What you can’t do at the moment is plug into a PC and have the Librem 5 fire up a PTP or MTP server, which is what a mainstream phone would do. This would allow more controlled reading and writing of files e.g. properly synchronised with the running phone and can be subject to file access controls (security).
