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!

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?

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 :-)

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.

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

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?

I am using a 2gb board.

Most of the issues seems to be already found

1. Internet speed issue
2.  Cannot install any apps from play store,just keeps saying downloading,
3. Screen size issue.



Overall responsiveness is ok to me

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?

I have a 2gb pine64 board. I have managed to load up remixos and android on it without issues. However i found that the NIC does not connect well when using long cables. I have cat6 cables going throughout the house and when i connect the pine64 directly to my router with a 2-3m network cable it works and connects fine. However when i move it to my living room where i would like the device to be, it doesn't connect. On remixos i can see that it gets an ip address, but does not connect to the internet or even the router page. Is there a design flaw for the NIC or would it be android related?

Hey guys

I have tried to use a couple of players to try to get 5.1 surround from the pine64. I tested it with kodi, mx player and the native players both in remix and pure android. It just outputs stereo sound via hdmi although its DTS audio. On Kodi for android i tried using the audio passthrough to an amp i have (which can decode dts, as done by my old boxee box) but the audio cuts off every 3-4 seconds. Has anyone have any luck in running this as a true media center? Or has anyone managed to get 5.1 output out of a dts/dolby audio? 1080p video plays fine though.
