I got a pinephone in 2021, modem disappeared very frequently since the beginning, but I was thinking it was a software issue; no longer used up to this month. Now the modem doesn't appear at all when I try to phone or messaging.
The situation is similar to this post: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...#pid115981
Can someone please help me?

To reopen an old issue,

I want to use my purchased 7" LCD Touch Screen Panel https://pine64.com/product/7-lcd-touch-screen-panel/
with Linux (I like Fedora 37 but anything will do) on my purchased RockPro64.

For me, touchscreen functionality is optional.

Has anyone figured out in the last three years how to use this screen, with the provided ribbon cable, to display?

I am working on getting tow-boot to work on my PPP. I can get it installed, but when I boot it up afterwards it will turn the red LED on, and do the vibes thing, then turn yellow and four vibes, it waits a bit before flashing and vibrating like 10 times, then it seems to turn off. Holding down the up volume it acts similarly but turns the light blue first, before turning red and blinking.vibing a few times, pausing, then doing the ten vibe blink thing and turning off. If its on a charger, it just keeps looping that. If it's attached to a computer it never gets recognized, just loops like on a charger. I have gone through the tow-boot several times, watched videos, paid very close attention to detail and it does it every time. I erased the SPI before installing, and same thing. 

I just got the phone this weekend if that helps any. It was running ok with the default manjaro plasma, I did run manjaro phosh off an SD and attempted to install it to emmc, it took forever and I thought it failed/stalled but eventually it said it completed it. It would not boot off it though. In the meantime I was researching stuff and came across tow-boot as the thing to do to make swapping OSes easier so I went for it and here we are. 

Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Apologies in advance if a tread is already covering my issue, I couldn't find my specific problem.

During calls (send or receive), the other end can't hear me. If I speak loudly into the microphone I can be heard, but very low.

-Pinephone Pro Explorer Edition
-This wasn't a problem during the first week I had the phone.
-I am in Canada
-I tried 4 carriers (Shaw, Koodo, Virgin and settled on Freedom when I found it was officially tested)
-Tried Manjaro, Postmaker, Kali, Mobian, Artch and same issue on all of them
-During the first week, I was pulling out the battery while the phone was running (did I damage it?)
-In the Sound options, configuring both input and output to "Make Phone Call" reverts it to original settings (Default, Play HiFi quality Music)
-When I bring up the volume during a call, "Internal Earpiece" is briefly displayed at the top with the volume
-I got this to work a few days ago on Mobian with a thread I found on installing Pipewire

I am on Manjaro Phosh beta28

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

When I first plugged in my Rock Pro 64 it was quite happily using the HDMI port to a 4k monitor. I then switched to using eMMC rather than an SD card boot of Armbian, and at the same time I installed RDP so I could remote desktop from windows. But now when I use teh HDMI port I get a really bad fuzzy picture, and the monintor losses sync and goes black for a second then copmes back etc. What could this by ? Is the HDMI port broken ? I tried a different monitor, and cable but still the same.

hey all,

when I go to install any of the newer images (tried as far back as august) I get no volume on my microphone during calls. I recently came across this, https://github.com/the-modem-distro/pine...ETTINGS.md and found that the setting for the microphone volume was not in the alsa ucm config file at all. I wrote it in there, and it did fix the volume until the next reboot. as the phone was booting up there was an error on the screen saying that the audio file was corrupted or wrong, something like that. while the line I wrote didn't change the phone went back to no volume on the mic. 

is there anyway to get the volume settings to stick? 

if there's no way to fix this currently, does anyone know of an image that doesn't have this issue? I'm supposed to set up two phones this month, and need at least calls and texts to work

any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit: updated the phone today, and now the microphone works. it updated some things with pipewire.

Hi there,

just a short question to the PinePhone Pro owners:

How is the battery life today?

I've often read it is very bad (worse than normal PinePhone) BUT this statements were all from 2021, and I guess things have changed a bit (like they did for the normal PinePhone earlier) - So how it is today?
Is the battery life at least as 'good' as on the normal/classic PinePhone (non-Pro)?
My normal PinePhone today just manages to get me through a work day (which is not great but OK... but shorter battery life would be a problem), would be the Pro be comparable today?
(And please add your operation system in the answer, perhaps it makes a difference.)

Thanks for any reply!! 

Best Regards,

Hello all,

I'am trying to use a soquartz module on a cm4-io board, with a emmc chip on it (mmcblk1). I'am able to install, manjaro, armbian, pleb. I'am able to boot on the emmc, but the usb port won't work except when I have a sdcard inserted in my cm4io board.

Is there a way to get usb working without sd card?

Here's some informations:

14" PineBook Pro, purchased in late 2022

I stood up the desktop and had it just starting working
I wanted to upgrade to the latest Manjaro ARM kde Plasma for PBP v22.12 
as I followed the directions, my system only gets to green power LED, no screen, no sound  - I'm stuck.
I do not recall interrupting the process, although at this point I am not ruling it out.
I would like to get the PBP laptop stood up to a desktop environment for Plasma/Manjaro

Hi folks

I think I messed up pretty bad after trying install the latest version of Manjaro to my laptop, I downloaded the latest generic image from the website, I flashed it onto my SD card I did the setup and then flashed the image to emmc with the following command:
