I downloaded the android image for microsd card today, but when I tried to write the image to my microsd card, etcher said that the image was missing a GPT table (or something like that) and probably wouldn't boot. I have tried both the 32gb and the 16gb versions, and I have also tried to DD the image to the microsd card (DD said it succeeded, but the PBP wouldn't boot at all with the flashed microsd card in). Is this a known issue with the builds?

I just got a Pinebook Pro and am trying to use it. It came with absolutely no instructions, so I had to search this forum to find that user/password of root/root enabled me to login.

I now want to create a new user account (don't want to run as root when not necessary), and can not find how to do it.

So, how can I create a new user account? I am using the default OS (Debian, I guess).

Thanks

I fired up my new PBP this morning for the first time. The sound worked at first, but now I have no sound at all. I can't figure out what changed. All of the sound preferences appear to be set correctly.

**Can we please get Screen Protectors  ?

Or at least let us know what phones have the same screens as the Pine Phone.

I would like to have a screen protector already in my procession before my brand new Brave Heart arrives.

Every smart phone I have ever owned has wound up with a broken, cracked, or shattered screen...

Replacing the screen on every one of those would cost more than the purchase price of the phone.

There are Lots of accessories that I 'may' consider,  BUT

a screen protector is Not an accessory, it is a NECESSITY  !

Thank You

Hi guys,

I am searching a good VPN gateway board since some time. Currently I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 but am not really happy with the OpenVPN throughput (approx. 60 MBit/s, but 100 MBits/s connection). I guess this is related to the fact that the Raspberry does not have supported hardware acceleration for openssl/openvpn. I also tried some other boards (like an Odroid) but none of them provided a sufficient performance until now. I read about the ROCK64 and people are claiming that the crypto hardware is used by openssl, is this the case? What performance can I expect if using the board with OpenVPN? Maybe somebody already tested it and can provide some numbers?

Thanks in advance!

I am having a problem getting bluetooth headphones and speakers to connect using the default OS.  They pair without a problem, but always fail when connecting to audio sink.  The error I receive is "Device added successfully, but failed to connect."  I've tried two sets of headphones and two speakers and get the same error with each one.  Is there a workaround or fix available?

I just installed the 128G module which comes with android 7.1.2 installed on it (not sure why). Anyway, I've been reading through the threads about how the new factory image is available which is great. Here's what happened.

1. booted to the SD but the power light just flashed. Nothing from there. 
2. flipped the onboard switch to disable the eMMC.
3. booted from SD. 
4. flipped the onboard switch to enable the eMMC.
5. looked to see if the eMMC was available but no dice. 
6. rebooted and ended up back at step 1. 
7. Reaching out for help 

While I'm writing this, I'm flashing the latest build to a USB to see if I can go that route. If this proves to be successful, what are the steps I need to take to dd the image to the eMMC? I am a noob but not afraid of the command line.

Thanks in advance.

DHL texts me an says my Pinebook Pro will be here today, Friday the 29th.  The website says it has an "exception". I call them,and they tell me it will be delivered today.  Every time I must deal with the incompetence of DHL my heart sinks and I despair.  Of course it did not come today.  Why would it, I took off work to be able to sign for the package and of course it is not here.  If there was a way to hire an attorney and recoup the losses from DHL, I would do so.  How do theyeven remain in business with the level of incompetence they exhibit???????

Worthless. 

If there was another way to ship pine products, even if much more expensive I would gladly do so.  DHL sucks beyod imagining.
