Have dragged the PinePhone out of the cupboard to give it another try.
Have tried to install the Latest version of PostMarket OS to both EMMC and the SSD card.
The install was very easy but upon boot I get
can't create directory '/home/user/local/' :read only file system
then a string similar errors around cannot create files due to read only file system.
Would seem Postmarket Os has installed with a Read only filesystem.
Just signed up for T-Mobile home internet in US. It is basically a permanent hotspot on their network. Setup other devices (MacBook, iPhone, Motorola) without issues just connecting to new Wifi network with credentials. Tried to do it on my Pinebook Pro running default, udpated, Manjaro OS but it can't get a connection. Switched back to old network and connected right away. Just curious if anyone has had a similar issue, haven't had a chance to go through all the troubleshooting steps yet.
Pinephone screen stopped working. The system starts but the screen is black. When starting the jumpdrive, the screen is bright gray, but after an hour of charging, nothing has changed. The battery voltage is 3.76 volts. I have tried different operating systems and chargers. The last time it worked, I turned it off by holding the power button and put it on the table.
I have installed the stable version of Mobian on my new PinePhone Pro. (mobian-pinephonepro-phosh-12.0.img.gz)
Now I noticed that the Camera app is very slow. In the Softwares About I found "0.1.0-net.flyingpimonster.Camera". Is it possible that the camera app is not up to date? The project Camera stoped in 219 and called now Snapshot, right?
Have you an Idea to solve the problem? Do you use maybe another app for shooting images?
Hi all,
after a month using my pinetab2 the screen started flickering one day then i got a screen with colored vertical thin lines (image attached), and now it does not start at all.
I did not do any software upgrade during the weeks previous to this happening and i'm running the installation that came with the device.
I tried to plug the UART to the lower usb-c and followed the instructions here: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab2#Co...RT_adapter
To see if i could see something but it looks like the device does not even start, i also tried to reset it (using the press 7 seconds, 3 second wait, 3-4 seconds press) several times but nothing happens, also left it charging overnight without any result.
From the outside i do not see any light or anything else, just the green light on the UART when it's plugged via USB to the computer.
Anyone can give me advice on what to do next? i'm a bit lost now.
The pinetab2 hardware is not very good. I know the price is relatively low (without taxes/custom duty), but it's not even worth that money. This is not hardware for year 2023, I has a weak CPU and the touch of the display is the worst I have seen on a tablet. A basic benchmark puts this table way behind a Xiaomi M2, an entry level phone launched in 2018.
And it's not only in the benchmarks were you feel the slowness, I am sincerely disappointed.
Hello everyone! I am planning to create a NAS server with RAID5 on my RockPro64. I will probably use Seagate IronWolf for my hdds. But I could not decide on my card yet. I am brand new in this area so I am a little bit confused.
These are the card I am considering but right now: this this this
Any recommendations? I just want to make sure it works before I buy it. I am open the alternatives.
Have a nice day.
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.
