Just got my Pinephone a few week ago and spent time this weekend attempting to make it work, as in making a voice phone call. I have used atinout to set VoLTE settings and checked with provider for proper APN. When making a call the dialer immediately says “call ended”. The strength indicator/bars cycles between saying connected to network and not connected to network, intermittently.
Currently using latest stable Manjaro, but have also tried postmarketOS with same results.
Error messages intermittently say things like “Unable to request output GPIO 0” and “Modem is not ready to process any unsent/unreceived VVM messages.” and many others.
I’d like to find some simple way to test this phone before attempting to complete an RMA just to make sure I have done all I can before claiming it is defective.
Here’s an example of some of the errors in the log/journal associated with an attempt to make a call:
May 23 01:10:07 manjaro-arm vvmd[4009]: Enabling Visual Voicemail was not configured! Setting to FALSE.
May 23 01:10:07 manjaro-arm vvmd[4009]: No Default Modem Number was configured! Setting to NULL.
May 23 01:10:08 manjaro-arm vvmd[4009]: Unknown type of VVM service.

May 23 01:10:17 manjaro-arm systemd-coredump[4250]: [🡕] Process 4231 (callaudiod) of user 1000 dumped core.
Basically, I would hope someone can help just confirm, as a sanity check, that the modem is defective, or point out some obvious mistake I have made.
