Newbi what todo - Ctrl_Amiga_1070 - 09-10-2022
SO,
I have a pinePhone Pro Explorer and the keyboard phone holder.
Firstly. Is there an easy or "recommended" method of removing the Phone from the the keyboard holder??? I was forced to use tweezers and twist them and try and wriggle them behind the phone and in front of the screen bit just to get the phone out. It wasn't easy, and the phone now has scratches on it.
Real Newbie question.
What do I do now??
I REALLY wanted this pine phone so I could seamlessly integrate the phone with my desktop. Abilities to sync emails, copy of phone calls, Voice recordings of VoIP calls, copy of sms & mms, and files.
I don't use social media full stop, and have no intention of ever using it. ScoialMedia just sucks the life out of privacy!
How do I go about Testing things? I am half a point higher than a noob with linux to begin with, but I can search and figure things out. I do like a good problem to solve, as long as I know it's a problem.
SO FYI. Ask me to work out how to change something setting on the phone. My Autistic brain will thank you for it.
Ok. Now I've plugged the phone into the keyboard, and put it on charge.
Now it wont wake up
I am able to turn the volume up and down, but pressing or holding for 5secs either power buttons wont wake up, of make noises, or anything.
Help Please

The case has a slot for a knife edge on one of the corners.

Only charge the keyboard.

Is that Normal?

I would also suggest -
Try to connect it - wifi/data/bluetooth - which ever you use
Try setting this device up to get to as close to usable that you need - ie visit websites/access emails/calendar
Then
Find an SD card to try some other distros on
Learn how to reset/reinstall/add programmes/remove programmes etc
Test the sound/download some radio apps etc
Start enjoying it and report problems and successes
