Just curious if anyone has had any luck contacting the shipping@pine64 email lately.  The last time I emailed, I got an auto reply that it would take 7-9 days before they answered me.  That was May 25th.  And then nothing since then.  I finally reached out to TL on the forums here, and he responded pretty quickly to get my stuff sorted.  Unfortunately, once I received my shipment, I was still missing a few items.  I've tried to reach out to TL again, but I imagine he's very busy trying to sort out everyone asking him to follow up on their orders.  I have also sent an email to shipping, but I don't know if that will go anywhere.

What I want to know is, has anyone tried to email shipping (or support or anything) @Pine recently and actually gotten a response?  If you got a response, what kind of timing was it?  Days?  Weeks?  Was the response any help at all?  Or have you all gotten nowhere, and just post to the forum asking TL to check for you instead?  I'm just curious if the @Pine emails even serve a purpose anymore, or if everyone has turned to TL instead.  With the amount that TL has been handling, I'd like to think their "back log" of emails will be quickly dwindling, but I still never heard anything from my email a month ago.

Hi is there a way to add any others resolutions than 1080p or 720p ? Like 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1680x1050 etc...
Is it a problem with actual kernel or is it hardware related problems with AllWinner Chips ?

Thanks in advance

How do you hook up and operate the 7" LCD Touch Screen Panel?

Ordered the Pine64 2GB about mid April and after waiting patiently I received it this week here in the Netherlands. I bought it without giving it much thought, just thinking to use it as a replacement for an old laptop that acted as a Linux server before. Sounded great to run Android on it as well.

I started reading some forum entries and other first experiences after I ordered and read quite some negative experiences, even about just getting it booted. So while waiting for it to arrive I spent a bit of time reading here and there and prepare the images. 

I used 32GB cards to write the 32GB rooted Android image and a 8GB Ubuntu image (resized the partition to use the rest of the storage) of which I read had most chance to work.

So when the Pine64 arrived on Wednesday, I tried both Android and Ubuntu images and they both booted up just fine. 

So my first impression is that it is looking good and it works. Can’t say much about performance things yet though.
 
So it seems to work fine and looking forward to spend some more time working with it on both Android and Linux!

Please share your experiences, for example if you also just started booting your Pine64, I am also curious about your experiences after booting

Hi! I'm in trouble with startup my new PINE64+ 2BG. 
What I'm doing?

I downloaded RemixOS from here and I have tried to burn it using PhoenixCard but Script not found error occured. So I used HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool I everything seems to be ok. The SD card Adata 32GB Class 10. When I have plugged in the monitor and then the charger, the red LED indicator is on and...nothing happens. I tried many times with 2 different monitors. First of them say Out of range 67.5KHz/60Hz and the second - No signal. What can be a problem?

Using the pre-installed Android 5.1.1 OS.  The Pine64 was working fine for the first few boots, but after I installed and opened an app from the Google Play store the screen rotated from landscape to portrait and has been stuck that way. 

I Tried to power off + on, and tried uninstalling the app that seemingly caused the problem... Any other ideas?

(FYI - this was using the HDMI output to a tv screen)

My little project for tonight (I forget how shaky my hands are until I start soldering..)




I'm using a USB-A 2.0 connector on the one end (for my Anker power brick) and a .1" pitch 3 pin receptacle on the other end, with 20 gauge wire in between. 

I threw some braided cabling and heat shrink on to cover up my sins

If there is any interest in a more detailed write-up and part numbers etc. just post here and I should be able to get it up sometime this weekend~

So i've been thinking about getting one of these Pine64 2gb version .. Looking at Pine64.com they say "PINE64: WORLD’S FIRST $15" - "Supercomputer" , "Gaming machine" etc.. 
Everything looked great since I'm just looking for a SBC to run a mediacenter (basicly just run Kodi), specs tells us Pine64 is more than capable, so i started researching user experiences with Pine64, and there is where everything goes to crap , so to speak .. 
Seems to me like the problem is all software related, like no drivers for the GPU so it's pretty useless as a mediacenter, specially if you want to go 4k.. 
Another problem seems to be with shipping, there seems there are ALOT of customers unhappy with shipping.. 

So from what i can gather is that by ordering a Pine64, i will get a great useless hardware that will be delivered way too late ;

So should their claims be considered False Advertising, cause it's basicly useless as a gaming machine, it's surtenly not a supercomputer, neither is it a mediaplayer ? (YET)

I add the "yet" part, cause with propper dev attention this board could be awesome.. 

Personally after a bit of research, i dont have much faith in the project right now ( and i really really really hate late shipping ) so I think i will go with a Pi 3, and revisit the Pine64 idea late fall or something to see if it's still just a useless hardware, or if they will have solved some of the current issues and sorted out their shipping department..

I am not angry, I am not here to rant. I am here to humbly request any update to my order.

I am backer #6,794. 
My card was charged in 03/07/2016 for a total of $45.97.

There is only 1 tracking number listed on backerkit, it's for the items i already received and it's no longer working.
I noticed that other backers have received their LCD screens and/or Acrylic cases.
Any form of communication with pine64 has been fruitless. I am at my wits end. This forum is my last resort.

Any information is helpful. Thanks in advance.

I recently received my pine 64 and while most things seem to be in order I am missing my wifi module i paid extra for. I received the board and the power supply but am missing my case and wifi/Bluetooth module. I know the cases are on delay however not shipping or giving me an update on a piece as important as this add on is confusing and concerning. All attempt to contact someone for help have been left unanswered. Reaching out to the forums to know if anyone else has had this happen and if anyone else knows another route to go to try and get a hold of someone. Thank you for any assistance you can offer.
