Today I upgraded my pmOS on pinephone after many months of not doing so. Everything is fine except my modem no longer works. Seems fine in dmesg, but nmcli d shows the network device as “unavailable” and mmcli -L shows either no modem or shows modem of unknown manufacturer, so not detecting the modem correctly.
If I boot into the postmarketOS on my emmc (the one that came with the device, it is postmarketOS CE and I always boot sdcard) then the modem works, so not a hardware issue.
Any ideas what I should try? Some package I should reinstall or reconfigure or similar?
Sorry to hear that.
Maybe that’s the problem? From pinephone faq:
In order to use the modem and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, you need to ensure the battery is inside the device and has a sufficient charge. Even when supplying the phone with enough power, the modem and Wi-Fi chip will not work without a connected battery. Further, double check that you have not put the SD card into the sim card slot, or vice versa.
If that’s not the problem, please create an issue here and fill out all information of the template: https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/issues
FWIW, I run pmOS edge on the pinephone with latest updates and calls work for me.
Unrelated to your issue (@[email protected] gave a good answer there), I would recommend using the postmarketOS on your eMMC actually (after updating it of course).
The internal eMMC performs way better than the SDcard and will give you a significant performance boost.
I honestly put it on the sdcard when I got the device just to play around and always sort of intended to flash emmc and just have never got around to it. Maybe I should though. I guess now that sxmo is just part of pmOS (and has been for ages) I don’t probably have to flash anything, just install sxmo and copy my homedir.
