I was really hoping that it wouldn't come to this, but Pine, I want my money back.
• I made payment on 10th March.
• Since that time your communication has been minimal. I have received your general updates that you've sent to Kickstarter backers, but nothing specific to me or my order.
• On 4th May I emailed you directly asking for more information on when I could expect my order. After receiving no response after a couple of days I asked if it was possible to cancel my order. I finally received a response on the 9th of May saying that there had been a "slight delay in orders shipping out" and my order "will be in a batch that will begin shipping out in about 3-4 weeks", and a follow-up to this on the 10th of May stating simply "at this stage we cannot cancel your order and issue a refund", and apologising for the inconvenience.
• I responded to this refusal to cancel my order immediately, outlining my position and requesting further information. At the time of writing this forum post, 12 days later, I have yet to receive a response or this fabled shipping notification.
• 74 days after I issued payment, I have not received any concrete delivery information, and my emails to your support representatives are apparently being ignored.
Let me make this clear. You have not provided me with adequate information or justification for why I have not received something I paid for two-and-a-half months ago, but you have refused to cancel my order and provide me with a refund. I do not regard this as acceptable. If I do not hear from you by Wednesday I will instruct my bank to recover my money from you.
I found a weird problem that occurs when starting my Pine.
When I plug in the power i don't get any input on my TV.
To get the image showing I need to disconnect the HDMI cable and reinsert it (hotswap).
I have red in another thread here that hot swapping is NOT recommended with the Pine.
I have tried choosing another input on the TV and than back to the Pine, but this doesn't help.
Anyone else having this issue?
My setup is Pine A64+ 2Gb running Android 5.1.1 (Rooted) build 20160505
If anyone have a fix for this that would be nice. Or maybe I'll just have to wait for the next build to see if its fixed then.
I am trying to change the screen resolution at "System->Preferences->Monitor" but the Resolution tap only have a single option of 1280x720. May I know how can I change it?
Running the Ubuntu Xenial Image on the Pine64, 2 Gb.
I tried to play a video file that I normally use for USB stick on a smart tv, full hd.
With the current configuration and used codex it's too slow to process, the video and audio plays is tiny fractions.
Player: VLC.
So the question: can I get the right settings in Handbrake to convert videos so they can be played on Pine64/Ubuntu, in full hd ?
I currently use:
Video Encoder: H.264(x264)
Framerate: 23.976
Constant Framerate, Constant Quality, RF: 20
Storage Geometry: 1280 x 1080
Could please provide the steps to compile an Android image for PINE64. I would like to start working in the latest Android image, specially targeting the AndroidTV build for the PINE64.
This thread could be used to aggregate the steps-by-steps later.
Provisioning to add possible steps here later, so no one needs to hunt multiple pages of messages.

Hi everyone !
I've got an issue. I created a puredata patch on my old Raspberry pi with pd-extended but i can't figure out how to make it work on Pine64 /Debian.
Even if i download all the available puredata libraries in Synaptic, there s still objects that are missing. This happens because i cannot install pd-extended on debian (maybe a matter linked to the cpu architecture).
Have you ever did it ? Is there any way to get my patch back ?
I've spent a while searching but haven't found anything yet. I'd like to use a usb flash drive to run the board from and not an sd card.
I had a quick look at the boot partition, but nothing jumped out as to how to achieve this.
I installed to Ubuntu image provided here on the forum.
Works out of the box.
Default:
User ubuntu
Password ubuntu
I leave this for the moment to make life easy.
Installed lxde.
The login screen refuses my password for user ubuntu (there is only one user)
When going back to command line, I can login with ubuntu.
How do I solve this ?
OK, problem is solved.
I had to options to login: Openbox and LXDE
Openbox worked.
After logout, LXDE worked also.
It's a mystery to me how this is possible,
I think I tried first with LXDE about 20 times with the ubuntu password,
it seems it needed a "kick" from Openbox to work ?
I do not know why but I have tried every version of Android listed in the wiki, and none of them will work on my Pine. I have the 64+ 1GB board. I can get Android to boot. I can connect the wifi and get to the internet. And that is it.
The Play Store crashes every time I attempt to use it. Normally I can click 3 to 5 times and as soon as I attempt to download an app, it stops responding then just closes. If I try it after the first crash, it will just shut down immediately with the first thing I click.
So I have downloaded the APK file for a couple different apps. I can attach a USB stick, ES File opens it up. But when I attempt to install any of the APK files, the installation fails.
Does anyone know where I can find an Android image that actually allows me to install apps?
