There's instructions regarding VoLTE setup on the wiki: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/OnePlus_6_(oneplus-enchilada)#VoLTE

That said, the one close-to-mainline phone Qualcomm SoC that's reliable for calls according to multiple accounts is the Google Pixel 3a.

Even then, it's hard to make blanket statements whenever it comes to VoLTE: It may work with the device for some one else, but as carriers are involved, it also depends on whether your specific carrier allows the specific device to use their VoLTE services.

(Given the fact that VoLTE is just VoIP, this feels really sad and unnecessary, but ... phone companies have always sucked, haven't they?)

many, many broken workflows

Sounds like many, many opportunities to contribute constructive feedback 😉️

I am once again happily asking for logo submissions to replace that current abomination - contributions welcome, contact details at the bottom of every page on https://linmob.net/.

i was dissapointet that there are soo few apps (speach linux phone app ecosystem)

If that's your take-away from my talk, then I really messed up. Things are developing well, IMHO. Yes, Android, even "FOSS Android"/AOSP or just F-Droid do have more apps, but F-Droid has been going since 2010 (and it's just so much easier to buy a device that runs an F-Droid compatible OS, it's not even funny).

It's also available on Flathub and packaged in some relevant distros - it's one of the far too few apps that are available on Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish OS, postmarketOS, Mobian, Droidian - a true #LinuxMobile marvel.

Here's the wiki page: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Nothing_CMF_Phone_1_(nothing-tetris)

The FLX1 did not have DP alt mode either, unless I am totally mistaken. All external display concepts for the FLX1 were/are to require sth like DisplayLink. So all that's lost are file transfer speeds over USB.

From what I could gather, they wanted to make more of the original FLX1, but could not get the a manufacturer to do that. I am actually not too unhappy with this one, the orginal FLX1 was too big and heavy for my liking.

Glad that works for you! With my bank (comdirect.de) I can use a mobile website, and if I were to use something AOSP- or Halium-based, I could also use their PhotoTAN app, which, as the name implies, needs a working camera in Waydroid (on my OP6 with pmOS, the cameras work via libcamera, but not in Waydroid), so I have a small gadget for all these TANs.

My main worry with the "let's just use Play Store/Aurora store and the run that apk"-approach is that it does not really send a visible signal to banks that they need to keep considering customers that don't use Android proper.

It also always means that the next update (e.g., after some consultancy or some audit happened) may not work any more, meaning, access may be revoked at any time. Complaining to customer service or in Play Store reviews may have an effect, but it will still hurt. I think I would feel a tad safer if a banking app lived on FDroid... but sill.

I hope this gets my point across.

As someone who spent some time on the topic (result), it's not that every new app is adaptive. Even if someone uses the nice new widgets of libadwaita (or previously libhandy (GTK3)), that app is not necessary running well on mobile if width-reqests demand a higher minimal width or content is just too wide.

The same is true for QtQuick Components or Kirigami, which are the equivalent for adaptive Qt apps.

That said, yes, many new apps developed with these technologies work fine OOTB without the developer even knowing; and if they are too wide or tall, fixing that is usually rather simple and not a full rewrite/redesign.

Not directly, here's what we have:

https://linuxphoneapps.org/categories/maps-and-navigation/

Of these, at least PureMaps does turn-by-turn - as a no-car-person that last drove in meaningful way when paper maps where a thing, I am the wrong person to ask about car navigation stuff.

Additionally, there's the OrganicMaps desktop flatpak (not a great experience, only good for seeing where you are) and zooming around. Fortunately, a work on a mobile-friendly Kirigami app for OrganicMaps has been funded by nlnet.

Also, runnning some web Maps in a browser (e.g., via https://linuxphoneapps.org/apps/dev.heppen.webapps/) is always an option (e.g., for browsing Google Maps for an open restaurant nearby).

Just 2ct's on the banking thing (sorry if it sounds rude, but I just can't hear it anymore):

Just forget banking apps of you don't want to stay on iOS or proper Google Android forever and ever and ever, even AOSP-based OSes struggle with that (a lot).

Go to a bank that still has a proper website and allows some kind of hardware device for TAN (and tell them that this is why you are leaving/joining) - we need to show market demand for alternative solutions or else these will disappear completely over time.

We also need to make regulators/politicians understand, that taking part in life must be possible without owning a device blessed by Google or Apple. We really need laws here.
