  Problems Connecting to Google Services?
Posted by: GunnerKB - 05-01-2016, 10:56 AM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - No Replies

Pine64 2gb with the wifi module and power supply. Everything Boots up perfectly fine and seems to work great with both Remix OS and Android 5.1; however, when I try to add my google account I get a message that says it cant connect to google services. I've tried on wifi and on ethernet with the same results. Additionally, when I open chrome, many websites will not load.  So far I have only been able to connect to facebook, pine64's homepage, and youtube (which will only let me play videos if I request the desktop page).  Exact same issues with android 5.1 and Remix OS. I've tried formatting and rewriting the image file multiple time. Any help is appreciated.


  Damaged in shipping
Posted by: fdnyubergeek - 05-01-2016, 09:46 AM - Forum: Shipment Related Discussion - Replies (12)

I hope this is the place for it...

I got my 2GB Pine64 a couple of weeks ago and one of the components, the Wifi/Bluetooth connector was damaged in shipping.

Pine runs fine. Love playing around with the sbc.

 Also I have emailed support@pine64.com and through the web contact form and haven't gotten anything back from anyone yet. 

Attached is picture of the damaged module. http://imgur.com/a2cdbeM

  Camera not Delivered,is this normal?
Posted by: reesh95 - 05-01-2016, 09:15 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (3)

I ordered a camera and the wifi+Bt addon at backerkit , but was surprised by the absence of camera in the package. I tried contacting backerkit and support@pine64 but have gotten no response whatsoever . Is there anything else i can try to resolve this ?


  Success story - Debian + ZWave
Posted by: eljatul - 05-01-2016, 03:26 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (4)

Last week I received my Pine64 with 2GB RAM. My journey has been very smooth with this product. I installed Debian following the instructions on the site. Installation was surprisingly easy with zero problems. I then ported my application that I built for Raspberry Pi and again I had no trouble finding all dependencies and compiling my application (C++). Another nice experience. 
I then connected my Z-Wave USB Z-Stick, tested my iOS app, my sensors, etc. and again everything worked fine in the first shot.

A couple of hours after I opened the package, I have everything running on the new Pine64. My home-grown home automation solution is now powered by Pine64.  Smile

Good job and thanks so much to everyone involved in the hardware and software development of this product. The acrylic case looks as good as the one on the site. Yay!


  Poor Laggy YouTube Performance
Posted by: Beryllium - 05-01-2016, 03:06 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (12)

I've tried Android, Debian, and RemixOS and Youtube videos are unwatchable even at 720p. 

I checked the temps they were at 80c+, I thought maybe it's throttling it due to high temps so I installed 2 heat sinks and a fan. That lowered it to 50-60c but lag is still there.

Anyone is able to run Youtube videos smoothly?

  no sound over HDMI
Posted by: mbjpine64 - 05-01-2016, 01:20 AM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (2)

Very happy to receive my 2GB Pine 64 (in India!). Loaded UBUNTU and got started flawlessly on the first go.
connected HDMI to HD TV , USB kbd n mouse, wired ethernet LAN, powered thro cellphone 10000maH power bank.
However when running You tube videos on Midori , no sound from TV. 
Sound settings (vol control / output devices) indicate sound going to Port: headphones,
 How to get the sound to HDMI so that TV speakers get active?
Thanks in advance
software update done, ran
sudo apt-get install kodi
to install kodi,, probably this solved the problem,


  Partitioning MicroSD card for boot/storage
Posted by: KillrKowalski - 04-30-2016, 11:26 PM - Forum: Getting Started - Replies (6)

Let me start by saying thank you for the people who have been super helpful already on the forums! 

I'm on a Mac, OSx, and I have a 32gb micro sd card that I've been using for a boot card since it's the smallest I currently have available. When burning any of the images using terminal, is there a way to partition the drive, and burn the image to the smaller partition, so I don't end up wasting the rest of the space on the card? 

Sorry for the newbish question, but I figure someone had to have run into this issue already and was hoping they could shed some light on it for me.

I'm trying to use it for a media center, and I'm leaning more towards Remix OS, is this the best choice for what I want to do? Thoughts? Better ideas? Cat Pictures? Let me know!


  Visible or viewable screen/image scale
Posted by: NondescriptMember - 04-30-2016, 09:57 PM - Forum: Android on Pine A64(+) - Replies (14)

I apologize.  I am sure this has been dealt with already, but I don't know what search terms to use.
Please see the attachment for an visual explanation of my question/issue.
In my own terms, I am unable to view the entire Android image on either of my 1080P TV screens.  The image runs over into unviewable space.  I have been through the Android settings, but I haven't found anything to work toward solving this issue.

Any ideas?

  Remote Desktop Support?
Posted by: Rochambeaux - 04-30-2016, 09:49 PM - Forum: Linux on Pine A64(+) - Replies (20)

Is there any build that supports a remote desktop app, like VNC?

I need to connect to the Pine from Windows 10 machines.
