  Right hand mouse click on touchscreen
Posted by: oiyounutter - Yesterday, 05:02 PM - Forum: PineTab Software - No Replies

How to create a right hand mouse click when only using the touchscreen?

App has a context menu that is launched by right mouse button click so location is position specific.

Long press would seem like the prefect option.

  Reboot ending with INFINI TIME w/ 2 triangles
Posted by: plainsman - 03-26-2024, 07:24 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - No Replies

Attempting to set up sealed watch - able to set it up as a watch and was able to get it to pair with my android phone via gadgetbridge.  But attempts to install 1.14 INFINI time failed with "element can not be installed".  Held button and it goes through the White/GREEN pinecone (V 1.0.0) then goes to INFINI Time logo.  Then nothing.  However, when texts come in, the watch vibrates.


  PinePhone only turns on sometimes
Posted by: zvavybir - 03-25-2024, 06:44 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Hardware - Replies (1)

Since a long time my PinePhone only turned on by trying twice (i.e. pressing the Power On button, taking out the battery, putting it back in, pressing the Power On button again).  At the first turning on, the LED was shortly on and shortly thereafter the phone rumbled.  This was annoying, but not annoying enough to try to fix it.

But then I didn't use it for the last two weeks (as I didn't need a phone during that time) and now even trying it twice doesn't work reliable (I did get it on twice still, so I'm pretty confident that it's still possible, but I don't know how and I sadly turned it off yesterday).  The failing starts still looks like back when trying twice worked (i.e. LED+rumble).

I'm pretty confident that it's not a battery issue because the same thing happens with only the battery in, with only a (good) charging cable and with battery and charging cable at the same time.

Googling didn't help this time (the first of the two times I got it to work was after trying to push the Reset Button as I read on the internet, but this seems to just have been an accident – or at least it doesn't work now), so any help is appreciated, thanks!

  quick question about mic
Posted by: Ferriah - 03-23-2024, 09:20 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (3)

hey all,

for a long time I thought my mic problems were software related, as it would sometimes work. most of the time I was barely audible on calls with static, and now there is dead silence

after trying many different distros with no improvement I've come to the conclusion that something is physically wrong with the mic. in the past I did drop the phone a few times, and eventually replaced the screen (had a crack across the top.) other than that the phone hasn't had any other damages, and everything else works fine

I wanted to ask where exactly is the mic in the phone? I assumed that it would be on the usb board, but don't really see much there. everything looks to be connected properly. Since the mic works sometimes, I think there might be a way to fix it before resorting to buying a replacement part


  systemic issue pinephone
Posted by: penguins_rule - 03-21-2024, 03:36 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hi all-

I bought a regular pinephone (beta).

It seems to want to install booting emmc first.
Being a newbie, I flashed spi on it.
It boots and hands it off to k splash for plasma manjaro.

Then it peters out with a kernel os error.

Pinephone support says reinstall OS which I am attempting to do.

Two things:
1) the pinephone doesnt synch with my pc at this time windows 11.
2) I cant get into the boot order in  the firmware or reset in any way shape or form.

I have another thread posted today where i am debugging this issue but am waiting for further feedback.

It seems strange the choice to go with emmc first because 'stranger things HAVE happened' lol.

Please HELP.... thanks,
jim

Hi all-

I work with the ai.

I ran this line:

I get this error:

so the issue was per ai to check and see if the file is corrupted so i with the ai help came up with this:

Quote:python.exe test.py
  File "/c/Users/myuser/Downloads/is02/test.py", line 5
    p = subprocess.Popen(["PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/c/msys64/usr/bin", 'python", "/usr/bin/binwalk", "-e", "shared.disk-image.img"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

# Execute the Binwalk command
p = subprocess.Popen([ "python", "/usr/bin/binwalk", "-e", "shared.disk-image.img"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

# Communicate with the Binwalk command and get the output and error messages
output, error = p.communicate()

# Check the exit code of the Binwalk command
exit_code = p.returncode

# Print the exit code
print("Exit code:", exit_code)
so the issue then becomes 0 error code no error.


the output is a file named:
0.Firmware (Tow-Boot)

what other outputs would i expect after unpacking the tow-boot with 7zip?

thanks for any input.

jim


  PinePhone Pro silver lining, it’s fast, real damn fast
Posted by: ashoka232 - 03-20-2024, 01:45 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - No Replies

There’s been a lot of grumbling the last few days among my friends about PPP and various power issues. Frankly, it makes a person a bit paranoid to enjoy their new device. As soon as I got it I mentally made note:

  1. don’t even attempt to upgrade packages
  2. take out the battery the instant you are done
  3. find some way to prevent deep sleep
  4. keep plugged in at all times
All that worry aside, a small little part of my brain is smiling about how fast it is. I knew as soon as I got it I would have a gut check about whether it’s speed would be tolerable or not. I can safely say yes.
Web browser loaded up Reddit just fine and scrolling felt good.
I’m eager to get to work with some gesture control phone experiments I want to do. This phone is going to be a winner.


  pinephone can provide more than 500mA to a usb-c displayport device?
Posted by: unrznbl - 03-19-2024, 01:02 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (2)

I am wanting to use Xreal air glasses with my pinephone. I have the manjaro edition so don't think there are usb-c issues with the hardware.

I see in log messages in dmesg that the anx7688 driver sets a 500mA limit when the glasses are plugged in.

I confirmed with the manufacturer that 1A is needed.

I see good info from xrandr and such but the glasses won't turn on due to lack of current I suppose due to this 500mA limit.

I couldn't find any information on wiki pages or anx7688 product brief to tell me if I could increase the limit to a different value, say 2100 mA or 3000 mA as I might expect from a USB 3.1 device.
