 * **Standby mode:** Currently no standby / suspend mode available. Screen just gets dark.
 * **Battery fuel meter** [needs adjustments](https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/linux-next/-/merge_requests/198) and for the time being is not precise. E.g. when fully loaded, the red charging led turns off and battery fuel meter indicates 70%. Recent improvements have synced the battery level indicator in the notifications area to the level in the Power settings panel.
 * **GPS** seems to work internally but user interfaces in PureOS are still missing (except switching GPS on and off in `Settings` > `Privacy` > `Location Services`). See https://forums.puri.sm/t/app-for-gps-settings-on-librem-5/12136

 * **Firewall:** To enable [ufw](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncomplicated_Firewall) (uncomplicated firewall), open terminal and enter `sudo ufw status` and if it's not yet enabled, enter `sudo ufw enable`. The default is usually all you need, but you have the options of adding additional rules. Use `sudo ufw disable` to disable the firewall. To call up a graphical interface inside the terminal, first install gufw and install x11-xserver-utils. Next type the following command: `DISPLAY=:0 xhost +` and hit enter, resulting in: `access control disabled, clients can connect from any host`. Now type: `DISPLAY=:0 GDK_BACKEND=x11 sudo gufw` and the graphical version will appear right in the terminal. Note that after you close the terminal, the app icon in the phone's app list will not be operational unless you repeat the above process, at least unless someone adapts it later.
 * **IMEI:** To find the IMEI of your Librem 5, go to `Settings` > `Mobile` > `Modem Details`.
 * **Notifications:** Accessed by touching the battery icon at the top right corner of the screen.
 * **Root account:** Locked by default. So there is no root password available. More technical details [here](https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/image-builder/-/merge_requests/123).
