I haven’t uninstall network manager. Try and reinstall Network Manager, if I remember correctly codi needs Network Manager installed.
Great to see that power saving is improved.

Thanks @Mibry that was excatly the issue. when I added network manager back codi begin to work.
sudo apt-get install network-manager

Also, I am unable to answer calls via the open cosmo screen by pressing accept.
So I fixed this by uninstalling then reinstalling the dialer-app
sudo apt remove dialer-app
sudo reboot
sudo apt install dialer-app
Once this was done I was able to press accept and answer calls while the cosmo is open.

Two things to check (assuming your machine is called my-machine, you can change this as appropriate):
That the /etc/hostname file contains just the name of the machine.
That /etc/hosts has an entry for localhost. It should have something like:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.1.1 my-machine

So, I appear to be having a few issue with the custom kernel (cosmo-linux-kernel4.4). The Codi display stays stuck at the planet logo once mobile data is enabled / Network Manager is removed. Also, I am unable to answer calls via the open cosmo screen by pressing accept. Any one else dealing with this?
Outside of that the power usage seems to be ok. I started using the device today around 9am with moderate usage and I am at about 32% usage now at about 17:29PM.

Hi @mibry how did you install the cosmo communicator linux kernel 4.4 from gemian. I seem to be runing into issues.
I downloaded the kernal zip
unziped it via unzip
cd into the directory cosmo-linux-kernel-4.4
made sure all the dependencies were installed on the comso
https://github.com/gemian/cosmo-linux-kernel-4.4/blob/master/Documentation/Changes
sudo apt-get install gcc make binutils util-linux module-init-tools e2fsprogs jfsutils reiserfsprogs xfsprogs squashfs-tools btrfs-progs pcmciautils quota-tools pppd isdn4k-utils nfs-utils procps oprofile udev grub mcelog iptables oppenssl bc
then ran
make oldconfig
make
then this is were I started to have issues. the make command would run but would error out.

I got mine working via these instructions.
https://github.com/gemian/gemian/wiki/UBPorts
Issues I see so far are Sound related. When I play music through the any music player it doesn't output any sound.

So I did do one other thing on my cosmo linux install. I installed tlp and tlp-rdw and left it running in default mode.
One thing I noticed it does is shutoff wifi when I close the cosmo, On mobile data alone I get about 8 to 10 hours use, mostly in standby.
sudo apt-get install tlp tlp-rdw
This isn't perfect and has some issues, but think it may be a starting point.

How did you get mms working. I got Data, Voice and Text working but when I attempt to activate the mms context it says it is not supported.

Cosmo Communicator - Hardware / Why does Planet use Mediatek CPU?
« on: January 16, 2021, 05:08:43 am »
This is a nonpoint for the Cosmo Communicator or the Astro Slide, but why was a Mediatek based processor chosen versus a Qualcomm? I ask because I would like to install lineage os, ubuntu touch or another alternative os on these devices. But, the CPU choice seems to be the impending factor. It has not been a simple task porting alternate os to planet devices, from what I can tell. Will all planet devices be based on MediaTek processors moving forward?

« on: January 16, 2021, 05:04:42 am »
Hello,
Is the battery life for the Linux OS on the cosmo terrible? I tried to use my Communicator with Linux the other day but the devices only lasted between 6 to 7 hours in standby mode/Closed. Are there any suggestions or tips on how to make the device conserve/use less power ? Would tlp or any other linux packages be applicable?
