  Automatic screen rotation
Posted by: frtodd - 06-06-2023, 07:05 PM - Forum: PineTab Software - Replies (29)

The #pinetab2 as shipped is a very nice KDE laptop. I'm interested in using it as a tablet. Tonight's discovery:

Automatic screen rotation!

In your terminal, type:

Code:
sudo pacman -S iio-sensor-proxy

(I assume you are working from an "administrator" with sudo access.) 

Log out & back in. Then your screen will rotate to match the orientation in which you are holding it! 

(Some of us are easily amused...)

  PineTab2 first use
Posted by: kbm - 06-06-2023, 06:47 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (3)

Just wanted to add a posting in here along with the others. Just got my PineTab2 today. Pulled it out of the box, let it charge up and then turned it on. Hadn't read the forums until now and didn't realize the wifi wouldn't work. Happened to have a USB-C ethernet adapter so I plugged that in and it's online. But no updates seem to be available.

Been using it for maybe an hour off and on and the battery is at 77%. I'm hoping that with some tweaks in the future that'll get a bit better.Did some web searches using the Angel browser and it's not too bad. Not exactly speedy but not too slow.

What I really like so far is the keyboard. It feels very natural, the key response is great and I'm able to type at nearly my normal speed. I'd be able to reply to emails and even have conversations on slack it seems like. The keyboard gets an A+. When it's in the holder and I'm typing on the keyboard and using the touch pad it feels almost like a laptop. Which is one of the features I really like. Convergence and all.

The tablet itself feels a little lighter and a little more svelte than the original PineTab. Just carrying it feels like a more 'modern' tablet. But since there's no wifi I'm literally tethered at the moment. I'll be watching the fourms and hoping for a wifi fix in the near future. I'm not sure who to reach out to but I'd be happy to volunteer and test any wifi device drivers that come out.

What's also nice is the way it sort of 'snaps' into the keyboard case. And I was even able to type while having it on my lap.

Looking forward to have a well functioning tablet in the future!


  Pinetab completely bricked
Posted by: Saksmito - 06-06-2023, 04:02 PM - Forum: PineTab Hardware - Replies (8)

Good evening.

I just received my pinetab2.

The wifi didn´t work under the OS installed (plasma + Archlinux).
I created a bootable SD with Etcher with Archlinux + phosh, but the system kept booting from the eMMC instead of the microSD.
I then copied the image to the pinetab and installed through dd.
The process finished, I only had the terminal screen and the rest of the GUI was gone.
I resetted and since then it simply doesn´t respond. Tried to use jumpdrive, new installations on the microSD... nothing works. It doesn´t respond t the power button.

I would appreciate any ideas.

Thanks for your time and effort.


  Internet phone tethering help
Posted by: Corconegre - 06-06-2023, 03:30 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (5)

Hi,
i'm trying to tether the connection from my iPhone, following the wiki: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineTab2#Pe..._an_iPhone
(it's in the right usb-C next to the volume)

The phone shows the icon as if something is connected, in the pinetab2 i see the icon of wired network and in the settings i can see an "Io" connection with status "connected".
I can also see the folder and camera in the tray and access the phone.

However i can't connect to internet, anyone can give me a hand or point me to documentation on how to fix this? not sure if i'm doing something wrong or what can i do...

Thanks!

Hi,

  I just received my PINE64 running Arch Linux and it hangs continually.  I boot it and it then open a terminal wait and it hangs.  I run the Settings GUI tried to change my timezone and it hangs.   Do I need to run another operating system or is this bad hardware


  login not possible
Posted by: User 26942 - 06-06-2023, 08:51 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (1)

so I got my PineTab2 and started to tinker around including creating a second admin account with a strong password and also changed the password for the default admin incl the kdewallet. All went well until I tried to login with the new admin account. it does not matter what I enter I am getting for both accounts "Login failed". so how can I reset that?

Thanks.

  Sound : notifications
Posted by: freelectro - 06-06-2023, 06:34 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (6)

Hi all,

To keep 4G active to receive notification from nheko and dino software, i use the following script.

https://gitea.privatedns.org/Xavi92/pinephone-scripts

Now, i receive notifications but i have no sound when receive.

I don't think it's due too this script.

How can i resolved this sound problem ?

Thanks a lot
