Observations (and I’m still learning the OS layout/actions:
Switching between pages/settings/apps is a little laggy, but not too bad. When switching between apps, you’ll first see the last app you were in before it switches to the newly selected app
Entering location name for weather, time, etc., takes a few seconds to populate with known place names.
Touch responsiveness is better if you let fingertip linger on the screen for a fraction of a second.
Phone calls/SMS work. Will report on MMS later.
Internet works.
I’m disappointed to see no dark mode. (Maybe coming later?)
Phone boots up fast.
Doesn’t appear to remember Screen Lock OFF setting. Requires entering unlock code. (And you can set your own code.)
I don’t see a way to display the contents of the drive, unless you can do it through the terminal.
Bluetooth file transfer with another device works, but I don’t know where the file downloaded to on the Librem 5 (because of above).
Can’t figure out how to get phone to default to my time zone. EDIT: Figured it out: Don’t select Automatic Time Zone. Then you get a world map to choose your time zone.
I don’t see a VoLTE setting in the mobile options. (I’m using an AT&T MVNO.)
