* **WiFi Connection Problems:** If the Librem 5 won't connect to your network, verify that the phone's date, time, and time zone (in `Settings` > `Details` > `Date & Time` are set correctly. At present, it's necessary to turn off the automatic date/time settings and set these manually. After successful connection, you can return the settings to automatic. If you're using MAC filtering on your router, don't forget to allow your Librem 5 in the router settings first. Using hidden SSID on your router may cause intermittent disconnection.

* **PureOS updates fail after first setup:** This is caused by an improper timezone or date/time setting required to configure the WiFi connection initially. Solution: [Re-enable the "Automatic Date & Time" setting](https://forums.puri.sm/t/myl5-unable-to-download-updates-for-librem-5-not-valid-yet-invalid-for-another-2h/12119) in `Settings` > `Details` > `Date & Time`

* **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

* **Dark mode:** Not available out-of-the-box. Can be tweaked by using GNOME Tweaks app and set any theme you want there.

Alternatively, use [gsettings](http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/gsettings.1.html): `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Adwaita-dark"`

* **Favorite Apps:** To add an app from your app list to the Favorites section (i.e. pin to the top of the list), long-press on the app, then select `Add to Favorites`. The Favorites section expands to accommodate the new favorite app. To remove an app from Favorites, long-press the app, then select `Remove from Favorites`.

* **File manager:** Install `nautilus` (not yet adaptive). Download [this ](https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phoc/-/blob/master/helpers/scale-to-fit) and scale it to fit the screen. From the directory where the script is run `scale-to-fit org.gnome.nautilus on`.

File manager [nemo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemo_%28file_manager%29) scales well without additional tweaks, especially in landscape. It can be installed with the command: `sudo apt install nemo`, or search and install within PureOS store.

* **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.
