  Google Play Store (or services)
Posted by: mrjohnnycake - 04-29-2016, 11:40 AM - Forum: Remix OS - Replies (4)

I have Remix up and running and it looks like the play store came pre-installed.  But no matter what I try to download it either gives me an error or just keeps thinking.  Wi-fi is working fine so it's not an internet connection issue.

Do I need to side-load something to make it work properly?

Thanks.


  March shipping timeline?
Posted by: rwhiteside90 - 04-29-2016, 09:34 AM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (1)

Hello,

I'm waiting on my March 2016 shipment to still come. It's now almost end of April. I'm moving in 2 weeks time. I either need a full refund or to be able to update my shipping information. 

Thanks!


  pine64 512MB network unusable
Posted by: Manilow - 04-29-2016, 08:05 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (16)

Hello all,

I received my pine64 (512MB) and my pine64+ (1GB) and realize, that the pine64 is unusable!

While the 64+ has only a slow network (there are other threads about that), the pain64 network is not usable.  I  installed the debian image (longsleep 20160421), as that seems to be the only viable option for the 512MB version.
Network connectivity is somewhat close to not existent.  Downloading files from internet is below 25 kB/sec, while the same file loads from other PCs with 30MB/sec.
Local ssh connections are hanging after pressing enter several times, while entering commands you have to wait sometimes for the single letters to appear on the console.
Ssh sessions are disconnecting after some minutes.
Watching the connection with wireshark , I see many duplicates and out-of-order packets coming from the pain64.
I tried almost every meaningful interface setting with ethtool, setting it to 10MB 100MB full and half duplex, but that does not help.

I thought, that the the pines could be a very good alternative to raspberry pi, because the network interface has direct connectivity to the SoC, but that seems to be wrong.

Any Ideas?


  some issues
Posted by: bnayal - 04-29-2016, 04:45 AM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (15)

Hi,

I got my pine64 2gb model.
After checking all the images, I find that the ubuntu is the most stable (debian also worked good but Remix and android were aweful, crashed all the time).
1. I am trying to run a video from youtube and it lags so much.
Any idea how to solve it?

2. Network files are also not working at all. I think the wifi module is very slow. I tried connecting usb dongle 9tpl link wn723n, chipset is RTL8188EUS) but ubuntu didn't recognize it.

Thanks :-)


  Anyone seeing occasional display stuttering?
Posted by: rakib-hasan - 04-29-2016, 03:33 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (2)

I am seeing the display to stutter occasionally on my Pine64 2GB. Anyone else seeing this?

The issue doesn't seem to be any app specific. It happened to me while I was using ES Explorer, Google Play Store or even when I was on the home screen without any app running in the background.

I installed Android-03032016 and Remix-04152016 on two different SD cards. Ran into the same issue with both OSes. Tried two different HDMI cables, still same.

Can anyone suggest what might be wrong? Is this a driver issue?

If others are seeing this issue, we can report a bug.


  anyone has any success in creating a media center with this yet?
Posted by: xrez - 04-28-2016, 09:56 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (20)

Hi guys. I was just wondering if anyone has any success in creating a media center with this, especially in:

1. Playing/streaming HD files from a network
2. Running 1080p content with proper surround


I have successfully tested remixos and android and i must say remixos seems to work a lot better especially if you got the airmouse with the pine64. I have had issues whereby my videos only output stereo via the hdmi cable, and trying to get passthrough audio (which i could only get done by kodi for android) was very stuttery. So if anyone has tips on how to succesfully turn this board to a full hd surround sound media player please post your tips here


  adb access? or root to writable system?
Posted by: chrwei - 04-28-2016, 07:45 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (10)

I have a kl file I'd like to install for a joystick, but the typical install instructions say to use USB and ADB, but that won't work since the USB port is power only.

I also don't see any options for ADB in the settings, or any developer or debug settings.  what can I do to get this installed?

  Strange Issue backing up disk images
Posted by: FangZor - 04-28-2016, 07:04 PM - Forum: POT modules - Replies (2)

Hello all! 

  I got my Pine64+ 2GB model this morning, and set it up with Debian Linux with MATE GUI (From the Pine64 Wiki), did the usual update/upgrade, then installed and configured SSH, Samba and CUPS. I felt I made a good setup and wanted to make a disk image of my work so I could start from that point if I made any mistakes and/or wanted to revert to an updating working image. I plug the microSD card back into the computer I used to put the image on in the first place, and Windows (10 Pro) asked if I wanted to format it and at that only wanted to format it at 50MB capacity. The card in question is a 32GB Samsung EVO microSDHC card. I got worried and thought the card was a dud, but plugging it back into the PINE64 shows that it still works fine (as far as I know). 
  So my questions are, is there a way I can still backup the image on windows (10)? Do I need to back it up under a Linux distro? Something else?
