3.10.101-4-pine64-longsleep and Ubuntu Mate 16.04
2GB Ram, Firefox 48

What is your experience with Firefox on Pine64? Using the "top" utility I find that it can quickly absorb a ton of cpu. If I limit myself to 2 or 3 tabs it works ok without using most of the cpu resources. The chrome browser failed to install on this system so stuck with Firefox atm.

Hey all.

I did a little searching, and don't immediately see anyone else who's run into this problem, but I need a little advice.  I can't really use the DD images due to a capacity mismatch with the SD cards I have, so I burned the cards with PhoenixCard.  Had no issues burning, everything checked out, however I just get a black screen when trying to boot.  My old card from the April-whatever build boots fine.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I've installed my Pine64+ 2 GB model with Android 5.1.1 for LCD into my just arrived playbox enclosure along with the LCD screen.  Everything is working well including the touchscreen in the LCD.

There is a setting within Android (Settings/Display/when Device is Rotated, rotate the Contents of Screen).  This doesn't work for me.

This is slightly problematic for me as the power USB connection is on the bottom of the enclosure when the default screen orientation is active.  If I could rotate the screen 180 degrees, then that plug would be on the top of the enclosure and out of the way while the enclosure is in my lap.  I'm not using any USB devices, so, for me, having the USB ports on the bottom of the enclosure when the screen is rotated 180 degrees works better for me.

I know this is very minor, but I thought I'd ask if anyone has successfully rotated the screen in Android 5.1.1 for LCD.  I'm using the latest build (20160603 LCD Panel Output).  Or maybe I just need to wait for the next Android LCD build?  Thanks.

Last night I wrote the Android 5.1 DD image from the Pine 64 site to an 8GB PNY SD card using Win32 Disk Imager. I was then able to boot up Android on my Pine64 board without any issues. However, when I put the card back into my computer, I can no longer read anything on it. I get an error saying the inserted disk is not readable, both on my Windows and Mac machines. 

How am I supposed to troubleshoot or make changes if I can't access the files on the disk? What should I do here?

My Pine64 arrived in May. It was DOA and I emailed support on 16 June, 27 July, 10 August and 16 August. No reply to any of my emails (and we're now in September). I was about to bin the thing when the ABS enclosure and z-wave module arrived. Plugged it all together and the z-wave module doesn't even fit in the case. I've now binned the lot. Worst Kickstarter I've ever backed.

Hey guys.

After hours of reformatting the card with different versions and trying different things I finally got my LCD screen to display Andriod. All it took was for me to remove the WIFI module and start it up and poof the LCD started right up. But this things a paper weight if I can't get it on a network so I turned it off and put the WIFI module back on making sure that 13,14,15, 16 all lines up correctly, I even saw on another post a how to on installing the wifi module so I know that it's on there correctly. The LCD screen wont come on while the WIFI module is attached, the red light on the pine will blink but nothing on the LCD, as soon as I turn the pine off and remove the module, boom works perfect again. I am using the power supply that came with the pine in the kickstarter 5v 2a. Anyone have any suggestions or help, or is this just a bad wifi module? 

PS, I accidently had the WIFI module flipped around and the numbers not aligned and the LCD turned on, i got really excited but Andriod didnt recognize the module, i'm guessing because it was like it wasn't even installed. 


Thanks in advance.

Sorry if this question has been answered already, I searched but couldn't find a thread of faq.

I have got everything running on the LCD 7 inch screen, pine64 working perfectly. Three things:

- settings or apps are not saved: each time I need to set my Play store account, wifi etc etc. Is there a fix for this?
- my screen is not filling the LCD screen entirely. What causes this?
- I have no sound, or is that normal with the LCD version?

Thanks for you ideas!

Did anybody bringing both network interfaces, one in access point mode ? How does it work for you ?  
I am concerned that both interfaces have same MAC address 34:c3:d2:7a:ba:77, and adding hwaddress in /etc/network/interfaces
does not change that. so my wlan0 connects to my home wifi router, that part works, but if i do that the access point on wlan0 does not work, clients can't connect to it

Ok, Newb user, can anyone guide me on how to properly mount/connect the touch screen in the White ABS "Playbox" case? I admit my noobness, but the ribbon cables don't appear to be lining up, there are spares, but the cables on the touchpanel do not appear removable.... IS there any sort of visual guide on what I SHOULD be doing? Still missing my battery (rolls eyes) but trying to get everything together so I can at least get it up and running. Can anyone point me in the direction of some guidance on the proper way to assemble the ABS case and get the touch panel connected to the board correctly?? some of it I get, some is obvious, but I'm not sure I'm lining it all up correctly. I feel like I'm missing something..Help!?
