| Is the USB 3.0 port still an issue for Q64 model A? |

Does anyone know if the comment in the development wiki is still accurate?
From https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Quartz64_Development :
Confirmed Broken- USB 3.0 (applies to Model A only) — only works with very short cables and depends on the device. This is due to a hardware design issue relating to the coupling capacitors needed for SATA, which shares the same lines as USB 3.0.
- Hardware design changes have been suggested to engineers, it's in their hands now.
I got a Quartz64 model A about a month ago and am now wondering if some issues I've been seeing with my board may be related to the USB 3.0 port.
Thanks

My PinePhone64 stopped connecting to my router wi-fi. After several tests I determined that the problem was the phone. I contacted customer service and they asked me to download and run a test program (app). Not easily done with no Internet connection. But I managed. It took several attempts but finally I got a test that reported RTL8723CS had failed. Nevertheless they asked me to repeat the test several times as I had not tested for all the devices. Not really a problem, but it took some extra time. Then they asked me to remove the motherboard and its many tiny screws to ship it to them for replacement. I was concerned I would damage the board. I objected, telling them that I had bought a complete phone not a motherboard and that I would ship them the whole phone (minus battery). They agreed. Shipping from Sweden to Slovakia was expensive. They received it on 27th. July.
It arrived today 15th. August and it works normally. I would call that good customer support. But downloading your test version from “Historic factory builds” on https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=...Download_9 and running it will speed up the process.

| Proximity lock on Plasma Mobile |

Hello,
I've been testing Plasma Mobile a few times, and there are quite a few things I do like better than on Phosh, but I always end up considering it unsuitable for serious use as a phone because of one major issue: the screen doesn't turn off or even lock when putting the phone on the ear during a phone call! The screens stays on and your ear can randomly open menus and change settings by touching the screen. I'm really surprised that this still doesn't work, as it's a rather basic and vital feature of any phone UI.
On Phosh, the screen stays on but gets locked and blanked when the proximity sensor is covered. That's not ideal, but usable.
On sxmo and Gnome Mobile, it gets properly turned off.
Is there something I didn't figure out to enable the feature, or is the proximity sensor really not supported by Plasma Mobile?

Hello,
Currently giving sxmo a try, I'm annoyed by the SMS log breaking words in order to fit full lines.
Instead of randomly brok
en words I'd like to hav
e line breaks occuring b
efore or after entire wo
rds...
I redact my messages in the "micro" editor and there I can enable the options "softwrap" and "wordwrap" to get lines to break on spaces only, but I don't know how to configure a similar behaviour for the log. Any idea?

For quite awhile now I’ve been looking for a suitable battery to run this SBC. I’ve seen several posts which helped determine that it can’t be powered by usb-c, or the onboard lithium battery port. I don’t know much about electricity, but there has to be a solution to run the unit without plugging into the wall. My MacBook Air runs & charges off usb-c, and it seems it would need much more power than an SBC. It also seems very inefficient to run an expensive battery bank to go from DC - AC - DC. I’m also not going to carry a 12V car battery around in my backpack.
Has anyone found a solution to battery power the RP64? I will run headless, so no additional accessories are needed (except for onboard or usb Wi-Fi adapter).
Power Input: 12V 3A or 5A type M 5.5mm OD/2.1mm ID barrel type DC Jack Power Supply.

I really waaant a pine64 (flip) dumb phone with a very light OS like the one in the pinetime, perhaps with a bit of a better hardware to be able to listen to music but that's it !!
There was another discussion about this but it went full political about something else, so I opening this here
I don't know if you've already thought about it, kaios phones are really not satisfying enough from an open source point of view since most manufacturers don't release sources
dumbphone are really becoming a thing again, lots of us rely on bad dumbphone we can't really hack into

Hello,
I have archlinux running on pine64+, everything is fine except mic input. Output to 3.5mm jack works nice, but I can't get recording anything. Can you please share asound.state file with mic enabled.
So far I went through sound codec code and tried to enabled the path from Mic2 -> DAC Mixer -> AIF1 -> Capture, but only thing I'm having is white noise.
Here is some debug info from capture:
Code: $ cat './1c22e00.codec/dapm/AIF1 Capture'
AIF1 Capture: On in 4 out 1
stream AIF1 Capture active
out "static" "Capture"
in "static" "AIF1 AD0L"
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/asoc/sun50i-a64-audio/1c22e00.codec/dapm/AIF1 AD0L
AIF1 AD0L: Off in 4 out 0 - R68(0x44) mask 0x8000
stream AIF1 Capture inactive
out "static" "AIF1 Capture"
in "static" "AIF1 AD0L Stereo Mux"
in "static" "RST AIF1"
$ cat './1c22e00.codec/dapm/AIF1 AD0L'
AIF1 AD0L: On in 4 out 1 - R68(0x44) mask 0x8000
stream AIF1 Capture inactive
out "static" "AIF1 Capture"
in "static" "AIF1 AD0L Stereo Mux"
in "static" "RST AIF1"
$ cat './1c22e00.codec/dapm/AIF1 AD0L Stereo Mux'
AIF1 AD0L Stereo Mux: On in 4 out 1
out "static" "AIF1 AD0L"
in "Sum Mono" "AIF1 AD0R Mixer"
in "Sum Mono" "AIF1 AD0L Mixer"
$ cat './1f015c0.codec-analog/dapm/Mic2 Amplifier'
Mic2 Amplifier: On in 1 out 2 - R8(0x8) mask 0x8
out "Mic2 Capture Switch" "Right ADC Mixer"
out "Mic2 Capture Switch" "Left ADC Mixer"
in "static" "MIC2"

| Virtual keyboard for decrypting the disk |
|

I installed a Lenovo tablet (an x86 model) with a vanilla Debian, and one of the problems is that at boot, when prompted for the password that decrypts the disk, there is no virtual keyboard that spawns, which means that the tablet is not usable if one hasn't a USB keyboard nearby during boot.
It's quite logical that the minimum software loaded to decrypt LUKS doesn't have a virtual keyboard in it, but that made me think : how does Pinephone manage it ? I have an encrypted Pinephone, and (luckily for me) the virtual keyboard spawns when I boot, so that I can decrypt the partition which has the OS.
Not that I'd be able to port this solution to a Debian tablet, but still it made me curious...
