| DOA Board? "UNSUPPORTED VIDEO" |
|

I have tried MULTIPLE OS (Android, ReMix, Ubuntu) on the SD card, and multiple HDMI cables...AND MULTIPLE HDMI MONITORS/TVs, and I get the same thing every time.
Red Light comes on, and the monitor seems to attempt to recognize the signal coming in, then immediately gives it whatever each monitors version of "Unsupported Mode" might be...
Since it's not saying "No Signal", it seems like the board is trying to do something, but I think you'll all agree that the Pine64 is not particularly useful without video output.
Any thoughts? I guess I'm getting worried because it seems like there's very little of this project that wasn't subject to large quality issues (whether product-related or service)

| LCD powers up but nothing is displayed? |

So I have the LCD touchscreen that came with my pine64. I have the TP cable connected and the DSI cable connected with all pins facing down. I also have the lcd image file downloaded from the forums that a member had linked. I used the win32 dsk imager to burn the image to my class 10 32 gig micro sd card.
I power it up and only the lcd display is connected but when I also plug in the hdmi cable after its powered up, everything shows up on my tv and when I touch the touchscreen I can see it respond on my tv but nothing displays on my LCD screen. What could I be doing wrong here? Is this one defective?
Thank you

| TV Screen Edge woes: 2 Fixes |

. The edges of the Pine64's screen aren't showing on your TV. It's as if you are zoomed in. 
Let's fix that, shall we?
Method 1: Settings of your TV
You can adjust the settings of your TV. You may have already tried that. Can it be done on
your TV, you wonder? In most cases, yes, it can.
Which menu and sub-menu?
There's no standard method of organizing the settings of TVs. Many TV settings menus
appear to have been designed by confused rabbits running late. Poke around, and definitely
try these menus and sub-menus: - Picture
- Video
- Advanced Video
- Screen
- Screen Adjustment
- Picture Size
- or who knows, just try exploring...
What is the item called?
Look for any of these.- Overscan
- Scan
- Screen Fit
- Screen Fill
- Format
- Title Safe / Safe Title
- Action Safe / Safe Action
- TV safe
- Aspect Ratio*
- Resolution*
- Size*
- Wide / Width*
- High / Height*
*Some RPi users report using these items to correct this issue on their TVs. It may be
necessary with your TV, but I'd avoid it if I could.
What is the correct setting?
The correct option could be:- Just scan
- Dot by Dot
- Fit
- Off / uncheck (for Overscan)
- 1x1 pixel ratio
- Full
- Auto / Auto Config
- On / check
- 4:3 (or even 16:9) *
- 1080p / 1080i *
- or other options (experiment)
Put in a little time and effort. Check all the sub-menus. Even if you can't find it right
away, it's probably there, somewhere. Look again.
Succeed with method 1, and the issue is fixed for that TV, even if you later use a different
OS image. Plus, it fixes this for Android, RemixOS and Linux. But will it affect your other
uses of the TV, like, say watching? It might.
Method 2: Settings of Android -- Screen Scrap Edge
Here's another option that works only for Android using HDMI. Both DD images and rooted
DD images can use this method. RemixOS cannot.
Go to Settings / Display / Screen scrap edge. Set width and height to ~96%.
With Screen Scrap Edge, you must apply this fix every time you change the Android image.
That is, if you upgrade to a new Android image, then you have to do this over again. But it
wasn't that hard, was it?
Don't use both methods, unless you want a black frame of unused space.
I hope this helps. Don't forget to give this a thumbs up, if it helps you, and definitely
add your own TV settings experience below.

Got an email today from store.
"Dear PINE64 customer, there was a payment gateway error where our ecommerce provider Shopify (http://shop.pine64.com) was authorizing orders but not charging some orders between May 1, 2016 to May 20, 2016. This resulted in a credit card authorization but not an actual charge. The authorization will drop off after 2 weeks. If you are receiving this email, you are part of an effected batch (about 150 orders). Some of your orders have actually been fulfilled but we did not actually charge you for it. If your order started with a number of #776, your orders have been fulfilled (but we did not charge you), If your order starts with #816, and you are receiving this email, your order has been cancelled and you have not been charged. "
Of course my order was 816# so I have to reorder stuff.
Got a board that is very pretty but wonder when it will work.

| Adding an accelerometer to Android |

I have a accelerometer for Arduino (MPU-6050) It has connections for VCC, GND, SCL SDA, XDA, XCL, AD0, and INT. How difficult would it be to use this with Android for the screen rotation and other compass/Gyro android features? Could it possibly be plug and play?

My P64 2G board arrived the other day, today was the first chance I had to try it out. I bought the pledge kit that comes with the playbox and touchscreen. Of course the playbox is delayed, but I can still try everything out. Hooked everything up, wouldn't boot, or rather, touchscreen remained black, not powered up, whatever. Spent a few hours looking on the boards, and came to the conclusion that maybe the supplied android card may not have the right img, so disconnected the touchscreen and used hdmi cable to my 46" tv. Booted right up to android screen, looks like a 46" smart phone, lol. Well that's good, at least I know the board works, LOL
So, I am guessing I need to burn a different android img to use touchscreen?
Is there a way to use touch screen and HDMI simultaneously so I can use this to stream hulu/Netflix?
Can I use a wireless keyboard with a builtin touchpad?
Can I use an external hard drive to store media to watch from?
Thanks in advance for any helpful answers!!
