I’ve searched the forums but haven’t found any answers to my problem I received my PBP yesterday before work I decided to setup the laptop and update it everything was going smooth and I was generally happy with my purchase I started the update command it said something about outdated keys I updated those continued with the update and rebooted the device (all through the terminal) after that it hung on the restart screen for a moment then restarted it flashed the boot up screen for Manjaro with the loading symbol and then went blank after about 5 or so minutes I held the power button to force the device off and now I get a blank screen with everything EMMC/microsd/ and usb won’t even work my usb drive receives no power no matter the usb port I use (mine has a power indicator so I can tell if it’s in use or not) so I’m stuck I have no idea what to do the power light on PBP is solid green just no activity on the screen whatsoever do I need to disable my EMMC or mess with the SPI? Any help is appreciated thank you!

Hi!
Phone calls work on my PinePhone Pro with Manjaro ARM Phosh Beta 30, but the audio quality is problematic for others (too quiet and/or noisy).
I tried with the (nearly) free custom firmware for Pinephone’s modem and editing the file /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/PinePhonePro/VoiceCall.conf . Currently I changed the line:

I bought a Pinebook Pro recently, and I've been using it with Tow-Boot installed and dual-booting Ubuntu and Manjaro. I've been having problems with excessive battery drain, even when powered off. I just did a test, and in six hours, the battery dropped from 99% to 59% after shutting down Ubuntu 22.10.

Is this a known problem? Is there a workaround or fix? I'm quite able to compile a custom kernel, if that's what it takes, although a pointer to a suitable config file would be helpful.

Thanks!

Just got new in box Pine Phone Pro, i pulled tape off battery.  reinserted, used usbC cable supplied and different chargers.

However, no matter what I try, the phone just vibrates endlessly and has a solid red light when connecting cable.

Weeks ago we talked about porting Apache NuttX RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) to PinePhone, and how we might turn it into a Feature Phone.

But to make phone calls and send text messages, we need to control the LTE Modem over USB. Thus today we’ll build a USB Driver for NuttX on PinePhone…

1. What’s USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI)

2. Why it’s simpler than USB On-The-Go (OTG)

3. How we ported the USB EHCI Driver from NuttX to PinePhone

4. Handling USB Clocks and USB Resets on PinePhone (with tips from U-Boot Bootloader)

5. And the NuttX EHCI Driver boots OK on PinePhone!

NuttX RTOS for PinePhone: Simpler USB with EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface)

I previously posted about having broken suspend/resume by installing tow-boot to the SPI flash.  My workaround was to just not use tow-boot and erase the SPI flash.  However recently I got an NVMe drive and installed Slackware on it.  I'd like to be able to boot from the NVMe drive directly, which I gather requires a boot loader on the SPI flash (I'd like to keep Manjaro on the eMMC if possible).

My questions are, what boot loader does the PBP/Manjaro use by default when it comes from the factory?  What is it doing that allows suspend/resume to work while other boot loaders break it?  What setups do people use to boot from an NVMe drive and have working suspend/resume?

Hi!
My PinePhone Pro does not read the micro SD card at all.
I tried booting from SD card as indicated here: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_Pro#Boot_from_microSD_card_temporarily.
I also tried holding the RE button.
Nothing works and the operating system does not detect any SD card.
The microSD card is inserted all the way...

Hi there,

has someone else experienced such weird behaviour?

I couldn't use my PinePhone Pro for months now because the reported battery level immediately crashes to 0% at some point between 50% and 70%, leading to a forced shutdown. Support says it has to be a software problem but I actually doubt that. The battery itself is working flawlessly in another phone and the issue persists even if I boot up the factory test build.

Any help leading to fix this issue (besides buying a new mainboard) is appreciated.

Thanks

With PP Beta/Manjaro Beta 30/kb, I use Alt-Tab to cycle programs. So the Swipe Up arrow just takes up screen real estate.

Through gsettings or elsewhere, can the Swipe Up arrow be hidden or disabled?

I'm trying (and in vien) to find a case that supports the rock64 but has space to include the POE hat inside the case.

Has someone come across a case that supports this?
