Hi,

My pinephone's ability to receive texts seems to go in an out on a timescale of months. This is actually the third post I've made about this issue. I got a lot of help in the first two threads, linked below, but we weren't actually able to solve the problem. In both cases the texting ability mysteriously returned. I'm fairly sure that I didn't do anything to help the matter, in either case:

I should also note that this is not an issue with the carrier, since I have two sim cards with different carriers, and the problem seems to affect them both. One idea that came up was a "clogged" modem, which an be purged. In the more recent thread, was ideas were suggested to purge the messages from the modem. However, the modem seemed to be empty

how do I downgrade to either 2G or 3G?

Is there a config file somewhere? or a button in the settings app?
KDE Plasma Mobile BTW

I installed Phosh on my new¹ pinephone but now I can't remember the pin/password.
And I thought that I installed it on the SD card but it appears that I actually installed it on the EMMC.
I tried to reinstall with sxmo but the phone won't boot on the SD card, it keeps booting on the EMMC.
Everybody tells me that it should boot on the SD card by default, but it doesn't (even when I press the volume button down at start).

Am I doing something wrong ?
How to check what's the problem ?



¹ Well, new since many months now, but I haven't used it yet

I have installed the custom modem firmware
from github.com/the-modem-distro/pinephone_modem_sdk/
tried the reflashing the stock firmware even and still cannot send sms messages, it just will not work.

Finally had some time to complete the design of this other version of the PinePhone flex breakout board with a Grove 4 pin I2C female header. 
This aims to enable the PinePhone full range of Grove sensors.  

Note this is just the design and is yet to be prototyped and tested.

Is anyone working on getting the internal WiFi and bluetooth supported? I'm not much of a developer but I can probably test something.

It's been a really long time and no updates. Do I need to synch against some other source than the one that the PineTab 2 shipped with? Am I missing something?

Thanks.

I missed out on the Pinetab before (which might've been the preferred device). I'm aware it's ARM, and that it's possible to load Linux on Windows laptops via USB etc. I've seen the "What Are The Current Strengths & Weaknesses of Pinebook Pros?" thread. I understand there are other alternatives if we're just talking specs.
But it would be nice to have a device made for Linux, and something that just does Linux when you switch it on (...I assume). I'm interested in ease of use. There doesn't seem to be anything in the way of "entry-level" Linux. I hope the PbP is the answer to this.

Yesterday after the first automatic system upgrade from Release 202304200351 (https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/pla...2304200351) the system can not load with error message:
debugfs: File 'Bluetooth Playback' in directory 'dapm' already present!
debugfs: File 'Bluetooth Capture' in directory 'dapm' already present!
How do you test the updates/ upgrades?

Hey! I saw that back on October 2020 it was announced a back cover for the PinePhone that would have NFC.

I didn't find anything about it since (granted it's hard to search in the forums for just "NFC") and there are no NFC back cases in the pine store.

Are there still plans to make it?
