I didn't know which group to post this in. I figured since you plugin a SD Card this would be the closest.

I bought a 64GB SD Card directly from pine. I was able to flash the 64GB android image for touch screen onto the card.

I then bought a name brand Sandisk SD Card from Newegg. I was not able to flash the 64GB android hdmi image on that card because it said it was too small.

I then found out that Newegg sells things from outside vendors, so I thought maybe I was a victim of a scam card. It says it has 58GB of space on it.

I then went to Costco and purchased a 32GB SD card from Sandisk thinking that Costco items should be legit, right?

I downloaded the 32GB android image for hdmi and when I tried to flash that image was told again that there wasn't enough room on the card.

I am using a Mac with El Capitan.

I am using the Etcher app recommended on the Pine64 wiki. That app worked fine on the Pine64 card I bought direct. It just doesn't work on any other SD Card or image that I have tried.

Can someone tell me what is going on?

Hi all.

I have a problem using Android OS on VM-ware that is related on internet connection in Android x-86 version 5.1 (Lollipop) and version 4.4 (Kitkat). 
I use android-x86-4.4-r5.iso for Kitkat and android-x86-5.1-rc.iso for Lollipop. 
I use VM-ware version 12.5.
I have internet connectivity and I can use web browser for both android emulators, but I cannot download the APK files. 
The status of the APK files at Download Folder always show Queued status and I waited for so long but there was no any APK file at that folder (Download folder), or there was no any response. 
How should I have to do to have capability downloading android applications on Android x-86?

Besides, when I changed to the guest account, I cannot access the internet, it happens for both Android x-86 OS and Remix OS. 
How should I do in order to connect between a guest account and features that just have by administrator account?

Furthermore, I would like to change my cover photo (background) on Android x-86 version 5.1 (Lollipop) and version 4.4 (Kitkat). 
What should I have to be able to change my cover photo to be a new one?

In addition, in Remix OS I cannot impose the code into the Remix OS. Let says I wanna impose code into /etc/init.sh. 
When I checked my account by typing "whoami", and it resulted that i was a root.
How should I do to get permission to make some codes in Remix OS?

Please help me out. I would appreciate for your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Pine64 with 2G memory and the wifi/bluetooth pcb on, DC-in through the euler-bus.

Recently I was only using android 5.1.1 for its stable wifi connection and decided to try again the linux images for the added apps... Surprisingly ethernet is not working anymore on the linux images I tested: Longsleep's old xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20160507-1, newest xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20160716-1, xubuntu-xenial-mate-20160528-longsleep-pine64-8GB, Armbian_5.20_Pine64_Ubuntu_xenial_3.10.102...
For some reason linux builds do not recognize/work with the ethernet connection anymore...

Regarding Longsleep's console-only images, I have to wait few minutes for the login thing to appear. For the 'desktop' images, I login then it says that I'm not connected... It happens even if the cable is connected directly to the main router (no switch). I'm 200% sure that it was working before, I installed Mate from Longsleep's console image...

What is going on?!?!

I know that Allwinner released mali driver for X, but wayland is more interesting than X, and many linux distribution is switching to wayland.
I can download mali driver for fbdev & wayland for HiKey board from ARM's website. It seen that it's possible for Allwinner to developing a similar mali driver. But will they? Are there any news about this?

Hey! I just received a battery, I just installed it in the playbox.  Works good with or without the microusb.  I can unplug while it's on and I can boot on battery but it won't charge.  Or at least the charge icon works but the % indicator is'nt or something like that.  Any known issues regarding the battery monitor?

Since the pine64's HDMI port doesn't support my monitor's screen resolution, once MackPi figured out how to enable the LCD screen in Linux, I went ahead and ordered 3 of the touchscreens. Sure, they're a bit small, but you can't beat the price.

For my mini-desktop machine, I needed something to hold the screen up at the correct viewing angle. I started with a little plastic ipod holder which worked a little, but kept getting knocked down. Next I worked at making something out of cardboard. That would have worked, had I been able to locate some zip ties to attach the screen. But while looking through my garage for the zip ties, I found a box of craft sticks (popsicle sticks) and my mind started working.

I ended up making a mini-monitor stand out of the popsicle sticks, some hot glue, and rubber bands. It actually works really well! Here are some pictures of it:

   

   

   

That project ended up being pretty fun and easy, so now I'm thinking of making an entire case out of the sticks. I'm imagining making something that folds into a box when not being used, but opens up into something like a mini-netbook. If I can make it work, I'll be looking for a small wooden keyboard and mouse to go with it.

After a long struggle learning to use Ubuntu and the Pine's quirks, I finally got Ember server running fairly decent on my Pine64, 2 gig board.  Took me a long time to figure out how to mount folders from my Synology NAS using NFS to my Ubuntu.  Still have not figured out how to mount folders from my WDMyCloud NAS, but still banging my head against the wall.  Most of the help I get here, is way over my head, hahaha, especially when I get talked down to.

Here is my video showing how Emby server is running on my Pine board and using my new Xiaomi Mi Box as my client.

Hello, both Netflix and Twitter have stopped working on my Android 5.1.1 Pine64.  Twitter opens up
and then just quits.  Netflix opens but when I try to start a show it says "Video can not be started, please restart your
device." But doing that changes nothing, the problem just continues... Any help would be appreciated.

My Google-Fu must be weak today. With a lot of help from the forum I have at least temporarily got the Play Store running, and down loaded & installed UKTV Play. All good EXCEPT that UKTV Play does not think I am in the UK and I should change device settings accordingly. But I can't find any settings that DON'T think I am in the UK. Am I missing something obvious ? I am set for the UK time zone & Google knows where I am  :-)

I would like to use like a desktop.

Internet, watch some videos, play some music, maybe do a little coding

We have, Linux, Android, Remix OS, Chrome OS

Which one I should try?



Thank you very much.
