The staff from Pine partially managed to help me with troubleshooting but I went to a busy period and postponed fixing this problem. Here's how the problem evolved:
1. I just received my pine book pro and it just doesn't start up. I've searched YouTube for some troubleshooting and I think it's some switch I have to change at the RAM slot. I opened up the whole thing and made some photos if this could help you. How to solve this problem?
2. I readjusted my EMMC and switch in on position and now it starts so it's powered because the green light is on but unfortunately the screen remains black. What should I do?
Based on the answers I got from the Pinebook team I guess my eMMC is empty. Can I use some kind of app to install Manjaro directly on the flash memory or do I have to use a stick to boot from it. I'm a newbie so please tell me exactly what I have to do.

since last update or so, the screen is not so bright, but the brightness slider is locked to maximum. Gone are the days when screen would get dark after a restart. Now it is always maximum but this maximum is quite dim so I dnont like it much. Bug or feature?

Me and my wife bought Pine Time watches (the water proof ones) about half a year ago. We are both running InfiniTime 1.10. Her watch has more than a week of battery life while mine runs out after 4 hours. Disabling Bluetooth adds another hour.
What could be wrong with my watch? What can I do about it? Is it possible to send the watch back and get a replacement?

Upon arrival my pine tab 2 didn't boot. So I flashed a SD card and tried booting via the UART adapter. I get the following message when using screen:
mmc1: error -110 whilst initializing mmc card
I've used probably 4 different SD cards.
The screen comes on but nothing displays. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

| Plasma Mobile configuration |

Plasma Mobile configuration
The examples in this text are for the factory danctnix distro of Archlinux for the Pinetab 2.
In the guide to install plasma mobile on the Pinetab 2 here we have the issue that the package plasma-mobile-settings cannot be installed doe to some file conflicts.
Plasma Mobile also works ok without that package, but what is it that is configured there and what is useful for the Pinetab 2?
The plasma-mobile-settings package
There are different variations of this package.
Here is the content of the folder that failed to install previously.
Code: Filename Description
90-plasma-flashlight.rules pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: various improvements
91_plasma-mobile.gschema.override pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: new pkgbuild
PKGBUILD pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: remove window decorations
applications-blacklistrc pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: blacklist vlc from home screen
kde-tweaks.sh pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: various improvements
kdeglobals pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: update settings
kdewallet.kwl pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: add blank kwallet
kdewallet.salt pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: add blank kwallet
kscreenlockerrc pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: start session locked
kwinrc pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: remove window decorations
plasma-mobile-settings.install pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: disable ofonoctl
plasmamobile.json pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: new pkgbuild
powerdevil.hook pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: alarm wakeup and flashlight
settings.ini pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: new pkgbuild
startkderc pkg: plasma: plasma-mobile-settings: switch to mm & enable sysdboot
90-plasma-flashlight.rules
Folder: /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/
The Pinetab2 doesn't have a flashlight. I skip this file.
Code: SUBSYSTEM=="leds", ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="white:flash", \
RUN+="/bin/chmod 666 /sys/class/leds/%k/brightness"
91_plasma-mobile.gschema.override
Folder: /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
I guess this impacts GDK.
Code: [org.maliit.keyboard.maliit]
device='plasmamobile'
theme='Breeze'
PKGBUILD
This is the script that installs the package. Very useful to see how and in which folder which file gets installed.
Example:
Code: ...
package() {
xdg=$pkgdir/etc/xdg
install -Dm644 applications-blacklistrc $xdg/applications-blacklistrc
install -Dm644 kdeglobals $xdg/kdeglobals
install -Dm644 kwinrc $xdg/kwinrc
install -Dm644 kscreenlockerrc $xdg/kscreenlockerrc
install -Dm644 startkderc $xdg/startkderc
install -Dm644 "${srcdir}/91_plasma-mobile.gschema.override" -t "${pkgdir}/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas"
install -Dm644 "${srcdir}/plasmamobile.json" -t "${pkgdir}/usr/share/maliit/keyboard2/devices/"
install -Dm644 "${srcdir}/settings.ini" -t "${pkgdir}/etc/skel/.config/gtk-3.0/"
...
application-blacklist
Folder: /etc/xdg
Lists applications that are not shown in the Application view. e.g.:
Code: blacklist=cuttlefish,org.kde.plasma.themeexplorer,org.k ...
kde-tweaks.sh
Folder: /etc/profile.d/
Code: # This makes Kirigami apps go smoother such as Angelfish.
export KIRIGAMI_LOWPOWER_HARDWARE=1
# Most pure GTK3/Qt apps use wayland by default, but some,
# like Firefox, need the backend to be explicitely selected.
export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
kdeglobals
Folder: /etc/xdg/
Code: [General]
BrowserApplication[$e]=!angelfish
[KDE]
LookAndFeelPackage=org.kde.plasma.phone
kdewallet.kwl and kdewallet.alt
No idea what these package do. For now I skip these. Kwallet seems to work anyway.
kscreenlockerrc
Folder: /etc/xdg/ I have not installed this yet.
Code: [Daemon]
LockOnStart=true
kwinrc
Folder: /etc/xdg/
Here is a mix of the KDE Plasma Mobile and Danctnix settings:
Code: [Plugins]
# Blur is far too slow for many mobile devices, don't have it enabled by default
blurEnabled=false
[Wayland]
InputMethod[$e]=/usr/share/applications/com.github.maliit.keyboard.desktop
VirtualKeyboardEnabled=true
# This is here for legacy purposes since look-and-feel packages don't have an upgrade path
# If the device came installed with Plasma 5.26 or newer, then this is not needed
# Edit: Commented out as not needed for the PineTab2 (starts with Plasma 5.27)
#[org.kde.kdecoration2]
#NoPlugin=true
plasma-mobile-settings.install
Not quite sure what this does. Activate the settings after the install ?
plasmamobile.json
In /usr/share/maliit/keyboard2/devices/
With this file you can change the look of the Maliit virtual keyboard that is used as standard in Plasma-mobile.
There can be several, quite similar files here. plasmamobile.json is the one that is used. I am not sure where it is configured to use plasmamobile.json.
These parameters set the height of the virtual keyboard for portrait and landscape mode. For me these values work:
Code: "keyboardHeightPortrait": 0.22,
"keyboardHeightLandscape": 0.35,
powerdevil.hook
Folder: /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/
Code: [Trigger]
Type = Path
Operation = Install
Operation = Upgrade
Target = usr/lib/org_kde_powerdevil
[Action]
Description = Enhance Powerdevil privileges for mobile usage ...
When = PostTransaction
NeedsTargets
Exec = /bin/sh -c 'setcap cap_wake_alarm+ep /usr/lib/org_kde_powerdevil'
settings.ini
Folder: ]/etc/skel/.config/gtk-3.0/
Some GTK settings
Code: [Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=false
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-cursor-theme-name=breeze_cursors
gtk-fallback-icon-theme=Adwaita
gtk-font-name=Noto Sans Regular 10

If you find more config files or setting, please let me know.

| Using Nativefier on PP64 with Mobian |

I have been using Nativefier to create Apps for my laptop Linux system and am very satisfied with the results.
Has anybody used Nativefier to create Apps for the Pine Phone 64 with Mobian or has anyone any experience with generating apps from websites on the PP64 with Mobian?
Would be very interested to hear if and how it worked.
Kind regards,
Paul

I was following an online video tutorial when I got my phone in; I didn't understand how slow my phone was, for when I tried to take a look at it when it was downloading updates it didn't screen on so I thought it turned off and thus I held the power button to turn it on; I must have actually turned it off when it was still updating.
Now I got some corrupted files that I can't fix in the system (believe me I've talked to my linux friends). So is there any base phone software anywhere around here where I can img on a flash and try again from scratch? Or should I just get a new phone?

Can not flash SPI on PineTab2 |

Hello, I don't know the best place to ask this type of question, so if this isn't it, sorry. I can not for the life of me, figure out how to flash the SPI on my PineTab2. I followed the instructions one the Debian site, but no go. When I go to flash the SPI it can not find the partition, and the instructions for flashing the SD and then booting don't work. I could get the SPI SD image to boot, but it has no partition on it for me to place the image to write to the SPI, and no other images boot from SD. If anyone knows why I am encountering these issues, I am eager to hear about it so I can get my tablet working. Thanks
