|   Increasing battery life |

				Hi, my PinePhone on average gets about 1 hour battery life with the keyboard add-on - before I had the keyboard it was about 20 minutes of battery life on average. This is pretty low, but I thought it was expected due to common reports of users talking about low battery life. However I recently read on social media some people saying they're getting closer to 1 day out of the base hardware!  
 
What tips are there to increase battery life? Is there software I can install which will help? 
 
If it makes a difference I use sxmo on arch.

				I assume that all banking apps run under Android. Linux offers Android emulators. Has anyone installed such an emulator on their phone? Which OS? Does it connect to their bank? I am running openSUSE.

				Hello everyone, 
 
Since two days, I search to solve my problem. 
I test Plebian, DietPi, but with both distrib (on mSDCard and EMMC) the usb is not recognized (no keybord, mouse, etc) 
from ssh session, I don't have logs, or specifique message with dmesg, no device attached with lsub command... 
 
It's not the cm4-to-pi3 (https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/CM4-to-Pi3-Adapter), my Raspberry CM4 work without problem in this adpater. 
 
I need help    
 
 
thx

				Hello, 
 
Im  new to all of this. 
 
I have visited pine.org in the aim to 
purchase a pinephone (and maybe) 
a pine laptop. I wrote twice to sales 
to get some information, never got an 
answer. i consulted pine.org reviews  
which confirmed that i was right about 
to try and contact them beforehand. 
All i found was complains. 
 
Can some explain what's the problem 
here ?

				So I'm not sure if this is exactly what this forum was intended for. But it says "Software" so here's something interesting I found: 
 
KOReader (github) is a FOSS document reader intended for E-Ink devices, but also supporting color documents on color devices. It seems pretty snappy on the #Pinetab2. Reading is the main thing I use devices of this size for, and I've been frustrated with the UI (especially for touch!) of evince/okular. KOReader seems to hold some real promise! 
 
I installed with `flatpak install rocks.koreader.KOReader`.  
 
(I had to run it twice because my ancient wifi dongle seems a little flaky.) 
 
Happy reading!
