Dear all,
could anyone please advise about the best way to receive information about the PineTab 2?
I visit their page every now and then, but I never see any news.
I was hoping I could buy one after the Chinese new year, but it seems it's too early
Which is the best way to be informed? This forum, the discord chat, or the matrix group?
Thank you in advance if you can help me

for a preview, this shell looks very ok. Nextcloud syncing (for Calendar and Contacts) is a breeze, where in KDE it never worked properly. Nextcloud desktop is not that easy, it does not seem to work. Gnome mobile crashes on install. But it looks like a well designed and actively evolving system. Diealer, Contacts, Calendar are more touch friendly as KDE's and also the to-do list connects to NextCloud. However I'd wish a screen resolution between 100% and 200%, first is too small and 2nd too big for me. Also the search field takes much space and does not go away when not needed.

According to the pine64 instruction, pine phone should only be connected to its special keyboard, customers should not use generic USB keyboards to connect to the pinephone because it would cause the USB keyboard to charge the phone, that does not make sense, I have a DELL laptop that can only be charged by a USB power supply, I can connect to the USB keyboard or any USB peripherals to the same laptop USB socket whout charging the laptop battery

I would like to see pine phone is more flexible in regard to USB peripheral connections, I thought it should not be hard in hardware design to only allow the USB power supply unit to charge the battery and to filter out other peripherals for battery charge, are there any reason why the pine phone could not do it?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Hello,




I am considering to buy a pine64 phone, will I be able to run ssh from my laptop to connect the pine64 when both connect to my home WiFi?



Thank you.

Running current PostmarketOS, I can't find a file manager that can get into my home ftp server. I've tried Thunar, PCManFM, Nemo, Dolphin, and Nautilus.

Any other suggestions?

Does pinephone support composite output?

We're about to turn PinePhone on Apache NuttX Real-Time Operating System into a Feature Phone... But to talk to PinePhone's LTE Modem, we need a NuttX Driver for Allwinner A64 USB Controller.

In this article we’ll dive into PinePhone’s USB Controller…

1. Why PinePhone needs USB for Voice Calls and SMS

2. What’s inside PinePhone’s Allwinner A64 USB Controller

3. Which is actually a Mentor Graphics Inventra USB Controller

4. We’ll study the FreeBSD Driver for the USB Controller

5. And how we might port the USB Driver to NuttX RTOS

6. By comparing with the STM32 USB Driver for NuttX


NuttX RTOS for PinePhone: Exploring USB

I've been distro-hopping on the PP and find that most current versions--Manjaro, PostMarketOS flavors--don't recognize the kb OOTB.

Is there a current OS that does play nice with the kb, and if not, could somebody point me to an earlier version of an OS that does work with the kb, and I'll just pass on the updates until further notice?

Many thanks.

I have a pinephone pro explorer edition which just simply refuses to boot into recovery mode. I am trying to put arch-arm onto it, I've flashed the microSD, put it in the phone, but I cannot get the phone to boot from it or boot into recovery mode. I have tried every method I could find. Every time it either boots into the current os, or the led flashes red a bunch of times and the phone vibrates a lot before just turning off again. I have tried multiple SD cards and multiple flashes. No clue where to go from here it's been driving me nuts all week.

I have a 14" PBP that I had been using normally in North America. Since I moved to Europe I have not been able to boot it. When I connect the barrel charger the light stays orange/red. Sometimes I get the manjaro logo for a few seconds and then the screen goes black. I am wondering if there could be a voltage issue or if I should try to switch off the eMMC (as suggested here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10093).

Thanks!
