I received couple of days ago PINE64 package but inside there wasn't any ABS or Acrylic case ( i ordered ABS, but TL Lim asked me if i want acrylic one instead of ABS, and I confirmed).
On a envelope it says ABSCASE, bla, bla... but inside nothing.
I think these last shipments supposed to be with cases or I have to wait for additional package with ABS case ?
Helo,
at 21 June 2016, i got email that say, my order has been shipped with tracking number RI902619153CN, and after that at 23 June 2016 i got email again say same with different tracking number RI902862229CN
and after wait a one week (27 june 2016) finally i got my order but after i check that only 1 PINE in my packet (1 PINE+ with 1GB ram), so i hope that other shipment its my other pine(PINE+ 2GB RAM). So, i want to ask, it's anyone here have same issue with me?
I had 2 orders placed on the same day, May 7, one for a case and wifi module and a second for the motherboard. Somehow, the order for the motherboard had an incomplete street address tied to it where the case and module was correctly addressed. End result, i got my case and module, no motherboard. I checked the tracking number on USPS and they have it listed as returned to sender on June 23. Order number 8161344. The address in my user profile on the site is correct but for whatever reason the ship to address was just the house number, no street name. Anyway i can get some help please?
I sent an email to sales@pine64.com earlier that had the tracking number and a description of the issue earlier. If i should send that to another address let me know.
Does anybody know how to zoom-in while using Remix? I've tried the setting under the Experimental tab within Settings, but no dice. I've enabled large font, but it does not change the font size within Chrome, specifically within the comment section on TPB.
I received today a developer board (sponsored by TL Lim, thanks a lot!) with 1 GB RAM.
The first what I did was nothing like installing an OS to my microSD cards...
No, it was a much more important thing! Building a case! And not just a simple case...
I build a case with Lego!
Here is my result:
And yes, I've installed a little fan in the house
I don't know, if it's really needed, but I installed it, because I don't need it for other things.
I had to drill 4 little holes for the screws and that was it.
The fan has to be installed on GPIO 4 & GPIO 6 (5 Volt fan).
Ok, enough pictures from my Lego case.
I have installed... Oh, wait!
The installation of operating systems with PhoenixCard is really, REALLY strange.
This little programm seems to be buggy as hell.
I needed several tries to install the operating systems to my microSD cards.
Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Like old confused grandparents.
I was able to install Android and RemixOS yet.
- Android 5.1.1 on my Hama 8 GB class 10 microSD card.
- RemixOS on my Samsung Evo+ 64 GB class 10 microSD card.
Both systems needed a reboot after their first boot up. The systems were much faster after the reboot!
RemixOS needed ~15 minutes for the first boot on my Samsung Evo+ 64 GB class 10 microSD card.
You'll see the following pictures during the 15 minutes:
If you see nothing (like "no signal) you or PhoenixCard did something wrong.
Android is running pretty smooth with 1 GB RAM.
RemixOS not, but that is absolutely ok, because Pine64 has announced, that you need 2 GB RAM model for RemixOS!
So, RemixOS is running fine with 1 GB. Not pretty/incredible fast, but fine.
I didn't test Android as much as RemixOS. So, I can't tell you much about the Android image.
But RemixOS is a really great system!
I have to learn something new about this Android fork.
There exist a few design bugs (like full screen permissions view in play store and the permissions are just listed on the top left), but the system runs perfectly after the first reboot.
I installed Telegram and Keepass2Android.
- Telegram works good, but has a black background in each conversation and the tablet view seems to be doesn't work (you see just your conversations or the conversation directly).
- Keepass2Android works also on it. It's a little buggy with a hardware keyboard and the software keyboard. Maybe I found solutions for different bugs with Keepass2Android.
The Rii i8 keyboard (Amazon link, no affiliate!) works also great with Android and RemixOS!
You have just to setup the correct input language (qwerty / qwertz) and you can start typing without problems!
Btw: I used the official Raspberry Pi power supply with 5V / 2A.
I'm waiting actually for my 2 other Pine64 boards (each with 2 GB RAM and some accessoires), because it hangs in the duty/post office and they needed some information.
I hope I'll get my order within the next 1-2 weeks.
Not sure if it was the email I sent to Logitech but they have have added the Pine A64 as a controllable device to their Harmony database using the key mapping of the basic IR remote. Tested it this morning and most of it seems to be working in Android. However I could not get the globe / browser button to work. I am not even sure 100% on what function it holds. I will have time to look into this further tomorrow.
I have my ps2 controller configured and can browse the UI all day. But once I launch into a game, my gamepad ceases to work and I have to exit to home and force close Retroarch. I figure I must be missing a setting somewhere. Ideas?

I was thinking about cutting +5V wire on USB cable connecting my self powered USB HUB and Pine64+ board.
Will I still be able to communicate with devices connected to USB hub or no ?
Because hub is self powered and has no back power protection I was thinking this way to make somehow protection from over voltage coming from hub.
Is it OK or just a SF thought ?
Regards,
I disperately need your help in order to complete the first boot.
I receive this message, could it be due to the WIFI keyboard inserted in the USB port?
