I have a PP Pro too, but had to switch to the OG because I was having too many issues with the Pro.

          I tried real hard to make pinephone work. After buying a pp1, pp pro, trying over and over with all settings nobody could fucking understand me speak. And it never rang. Now I could live with that but everyone who depends on me was enraged. I couldn’t type other languages. I gave up, bought a pixil 6a and put grapheneOS on it. Google maps only intermittently works on GrapheneOS. My banking apps sometimes stop working But the web browser and most other things are ok. Battery life kinda sucks. I want a headphone jack and a removable battery but this is about as good as it gets not having google see everything you do.
