yes, daily driving for 2 years now.

* it's good. works well, apps reflow nicely, can run a lot of stuff simultaneously without memory issues. There is a nasty kernel bug relating to suspend and the wwan modem, but that's not pureos specific.

* depending on the app, ranging from snappy to so-so. Especially flatpaks tend to stutter...

* I don't use those services but it should be possible via gnome-accounts. I do sync a caldav and carddav and that works flawlessly.

Thanks!

I may run a test this summer to see how it goes.

Battery life?

[michelledepeil]

Not great. With suspend enabled and if I don't use it much, about 8 hours to 0%. If I leave it on (i.e. disable suspend), about 3 hours.

I'm honestly almost always near a charger, which I also realize is just a cope.

This is not normal for this phone. I think you should ask for help on the forums or by email. Examples:

You're probably right, and battery life varies a bit day-to-day. I haven't done a formal test to double check my statements above, more just a feeling.

I've had the phone for a while and the battery has gone through many cycles. It has definitely lost some capacity.

When you say suspend, what does that look like in terms of receiving a phone call or SMS?

[seba_dos1]

The modem asserts a wake pin when you receive an SMS or phone call, causing the SoC to wake up. Services that rely on data (IM, e-mail etc.) don't wake the phone up (they will rely on periodic wakeups in the future, but there's no infrastructure for it yet).

An update that makes communication with the modem after resuming from system suspend reliable has been deployed today (previously it would often fully reenumerate and cause various troubles in the process, now it's instant).

[michelledepeil]

OMG I got this update and modem resume has been flawless since!!!

Thanks for your hard work to get this fixed!

It's still experimental. It works for some users [0], but not for others [1,2].

[seba_dos1]

Those forum posts are from more than a year ago, a lot has improved since.

[fsflover]

About 12 hours without suspend. Its still experimental, but very close: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Freque....

When did the battery life suddenly get 3-4 times better?

[seba_dos1]

It didn't jump up suddenly; there were many software improvements in regard to battery life deployed through the years which together sum up to a pretty significant change.

[fsflover]

It's explained in my above link.

[mattl]

It’s not obvious what terms like Evergreen mean?

[fsflover]

Evergreen is the latest hardware revision: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Freque...

[seba_dos1]

I get about 3-4 hours of active usage (like Web browsing), about 8-12 hours of idle time and about 20-22 hours of suspended time. More with modem off, but then it's not exactly a phone:)
