Thumbs Up Pine 64+ 2Gb Review after 4 months 24/7
Posted by: By-Jokese - 09-23-2016, 12:31 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (2)

4 months ago I did an unboxing of the pine 64. As promised, I have tested it out and made my personal opinion after 1000h of load, and non stop use (24/7). Its ON since the day arrived home.


You have find the complete review here.

Just to put something here:


Quote:{....}
Conclusion

For being the first model of the company, I would say from my personal experience that, the Pine 64 is solid. Great price, for great performance. It has given me all I asked and never failed to do a task. It’s community is still growing and expanding, so don’t expect to find information as easy as you would do for a raspberry pi.
Is more than I expected, I totally recommend it, if you are looking for a small computer with great performance.

(09-22-2016, 11:07 PM)UnixOutlaw Wrote: Longsleep Debian XFCE build

Please stop using this term since there is no such thing! Longsleep did an amazing job getting the BSP stuff (u-boot and kernel) to work with Linux. Every OS image available that provides display output relies on his work: longsleep's original Ubuntu, Pine64's crippled Ubuntu, Armbian's legacy images, DietPi and even pine64.pro's Debian XFCE build.

The only connection between any Debian XFCE stuff and longsleep is that the former relies on the latter's work. That's all. But calling this a 'Longsleep Debian XFCE build' is almost an insult.

  Missing items and unresponsive support (shipping department)
Posted by: yeohwk - 09-22-2016, 12:51 PM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (7)

Received incomplete items from my orders. Emailed shipping department, and (Lucy) took forever to reply.

Attached is the email I sent:

Lucy,

You do not read my email carefully from the start. You have resent (the tracking number you provided) to me the items I have ordered, but the item quantities are NOT CORECT.

Quote:I ordered additional items but the quantities sent to me are wrong:

(a) 2 x PINE A64+ 2GB - PA642GBWIFI, but I received two sets of PINE A64+ 2GB boards and WITHOUT WIFI Modules
(b) 2 x PINE64 12C Multipart POT, but I received only ONE set of the item
© 4 x PINE64 Wifi Remote Module, but I received only ONE set of the item
(d) 2 x USB Serial Programmer for PINE64, but I received only ONE set of the item
(e) 2 x RTC Backup Battery - CR, but I received only ONE set of the item
(f) 2 x 5MP Camera Module, but I received only ONE set of the item

You told me in your previous email that you have resent them based on the tracking number you provided. The quantity of items I received simply do not reflect the quantities I ordered. You promised to look into this matter but after such a long time, you just tried to close the case by simply telling me that you have resent them by providing me a tracking number, and hoping that I will accept it.

Basically you have NOT fulfilled the quantities I ordered.

  Setting up SD card and installing rooted Android using an ubuntu machine
Posted by: edszr.co - 09-22-2016, 09:40 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (4)

Hi There,

I've looked for an answer to this and didn't see one.  Sorry if I missed it.  I would like to install rooted android on my pine 64, but the only info I've seen about doing this shows how to do it from a windows machine.  I'm currently using ubuntu 16.04.  Is there a way to install rooted android onto the pine64 without using windows?

thanks,
Ed

2. Is there any list of PI hats that will work o the pine if not any tutorials and what would be needed?

3. When will the be (as promised) European distributer(must say the shipping is improving things are taking a little over a week)?
