  Puremaps and Location
Posted by: freelectro - 03-14-2023, 04:07 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - No Replies

Hi all,

I'm using Puremaps software with GPS.

I see a problem about location, it's not really good and not move on the map.

What can be a way to solve it ?

A user puremaps on IRC adviced me to install and launch Sattelite from flathub before launch Puremaps.

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot for your advices.

Have a nice day


Exclamation Stuck at Infinitime Logo with 18% battery on full charge?
Posted by: PiningFjord - 03-13-2023, 03:25 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (1)

Hi! Long time PineTime user since 2020, and I've run into a problem that I haven't seen before.

I left my watch to charge in its cradle last night, and I put it on this morning with a full charge. Then I put the watch in my pocket to wash a few things. When I took it back out I noticed it was now on the Infinitime screen with the two triangles, I thought maybe it got bumped somehow and tried holding it down to reset it, still boots to the Infinitime screen. I also tried booting into blue and red modes, and it's still stuck on the same screen. I've tried flashing the firmware using NRFConnect and Gadgetbridge, but even though the device is connected to the phone over bluetooth it will disconnect when trying to update or downgrade the firmware. What's really strange is the PineTime is showing a battery percentage of 18% consistently, when I know it was at 100% before taking it off. Huh The battery should be ok, I've used it for a week before having to recharge it.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Other than this issue the watch has been very reliable. I'm currently running 1.11 "Red Nectarine".


  Rockpro64 Dead on arrival?
Posted by: quixoticgeek - 03-12-2023, 01:07 PM - Forum: Linux on RockPro64 - Replies (1)

I have a new rockpro64 board, I've installed it in the NAS case with a heatsink, and case fan. Connecting network, hdmi, keyboard, and power, I get a green LED next to the power connector. Then nothing else. Pressing the power button does nothing. Pressing and holding the power button does nothing. I Have a green light on the Ethernet port, and the orange light of the Ethernet port flashes. But no white or red led by the power button. HDMI remains blank. Keyboard does not respond to input (no capslock light). 

I've tried both Debian, and Armbian on the micro sd card. With the same result. 

Am I doing something wrong, or is my board faulty? 

Thanks

J


  Modem gets disabled on every suspend
Posted by: jojuma - 03-12-2023, 12:57 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (5)

Hello,

I am running KDE (Manjaro + Plasma Mobile) on my Pinephone and I tried everything now to make the modem run properly.
Based on the information of Biktorgj (the-modem-distro) I updated to the newest firmware, I flashed the custom firmware and made the recommended settings. I flashed the recovery. No matter, which firmware is running, on boot and on every suspend (screen goes off after few minutes), the modem gets disabled as the status in 'mmcli -m any' shows. I have to enable it ('mmcli -m any -e') every time I take the pinephone in my hand.
Currently I have the custom firmware installed again and made the settings. The behaviour stays as described.

Is there any advice on this, anything I can try?


Question How to connect a pine64-LTS to a serial console?
Posted by: zuvmajujo - 03-12-2023, 02:03 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (1)

I'm trying to get two separate pine64 LTS boards to boot for the first time. Previous troubleshooting attempts here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=17961.

I was hoping to monitor the serial port of each board to find some some helpful errors. I couldn't find a post specifically for the pine64 LTS but I did for the rock64: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=5029. I connected to pin 6 (GND <-> GND), pin8 (TX -> RX), and pin10 (RX -> TX). As a sanity check I switched RX and TX to make sure I hadn't mis-connected something. I've tested the serial console on another dev board so I know it's working. I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 and I'm using the following command to read messages: 

Code:
sudo  minicom  -s  -D  /dev/ttyUSB0  -b  1500000  --color=on
I checked that the serial console is connected to /dev/ttyUSB0 by using the command:
Code:
ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
Absolutely nothing comes through minicom from both boards. I thought perhaps the steps for the rock64 are different for the pine64. Please enlighten me if so.


  PINETAB2 cpu?
Posted by: mindwave - 03-11-2023, 10:01 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (2)

Team,

Somehow Ive been buried in life and missed the info on the pinetab2 until today.

So Ive searched everywhere I can and cant find out what SOC they are planning to use?

I have a pinebook , pinetab and pinebook pro (unsing that now)

Unfortunately my pinetab stopped working a few months back abd havent had a chance to troubleshoot it.

SO Iam very excited abouyt the pinetab 2! Like to be first in line if I could.  But asIm still in a job transition I have to make a smart decision not just an enthusiastuuc one.

Does anhyone know what the SOC or CPU will be?

That would really help me  determine my purchase decision, like to get a pinecil as well, but thats a different conversations eh?

Thanks for everything

  wifi missing some networks
Posted by: filip - 03-11-2023, 03:21 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

Hi,

just got my Pinebook pro a few weeks ago. I'm having some wifi troubles.

The wifi seems to be working well except it does not show my wifi network. It shows several other networks and I can connect to a hotspot on my phone without problem.
Anyone experiencing similar issues? Any idea what might be causing the adapter to miss a single network?

Some more info:
The router is emitting on both wifi 5 & wifi 4, i.e. there are two wireless networks with different SSID but pinebook pro can't fine either of them.
I'm running Manjaro-ARM 23.02


Lightbulb Suggestion: NFC-F / FeliCa Support for next gen PinePhone or board add-on
Posted by: iamauser - 03-11-2023, 10:21 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

Mods, if this is more appropriate to move to either Hardware or Accessories, please do so. I figured since the solution can be either base phone or accessory, best to put it under general.

iPhone since 8th gen has had NFC-F / FeliCa support and Android phones typically ship support if there's heavy usage in the region: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/FeliCa

This is must have feature in Japan, and in other metro areas in SE Asia and US that have adopted it for transit. Being able to use your phone as a transit card and easily recharge it anywhere w/o having to use a special machine and cash is a killer feature.

It would be great if the hardware side support was there either within the phone hardware itself, or as add-on accessory if Pine64 wants to keep the base PinePhone as cheap as possible. Then either someone could maybe develop software Linux side or at least use Waydroid to use the card operator's app to recharge the 'card'


  PineTime Dead out of box?
Posted by: henkery - 03-11-2023, 07:57 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (1)

Just recieved my pinetime sealed fresh in the box.

However it seems to not do much
I've tried to boot it straight out of the box and nothing happened, so I left it to charge for a few hours in the cradle but still no response

is there something I can do here?
it also doesn't seem to be recognizable by any bluetooth
