Hi everyone,

I've been reading sites and trying fixes for a while and I've been able to get Disney+ and Netflix running in chromium-docker on Manjaro. So far, I haven't figured out how to get Amazon Prime or Paramount+ working. Has anyone had any success with these? 

Thanks,
Tessa

I have a sealed PineTime, and today the screen stopped working properly, see the pictures below (quality isnt the best but it basically looks the same IRL).

Touch etc. still seems to work though, so i can go through the menus just fine. I run InfiniTime 1.11 and didn't bunk into something exceptionally hard with it nor do i swim/shower with it (except for the occasional hand washing where it might get splashed a bit). I already tried rebooting it which didn't help. Is there a way to fix this or should i just get a new PineTime?

The menu when swiping left:


The flashlight, activated:

I got a pinephone from someone turned it on and it has a pass code trying to flash it with a os but can't help please

I saw the Roshambo case on the Pine64 store. Trying to understand components and assembly.

I see that a power supply and board are required - RockPro64 is recommended. It says that the ssd "cartridge" is optional. I see that the board comes with 2 or 4GB RAM, but doesn't seem to have storage.
From the site - "There is also an optional eMMC module (up to 128GB) and microSD slot for booting." If the ssd is optional and the eMMC is optional, how is the R-Cade system installed/stored?

Other than the case, board, power supply, and a couple of controllers, is there anything else I would need?

Thanks

I was playing with picroft on my old RPI3 + AIY Voicehat and it was just too slow for some functions, so considering the difficulty obtaining an RPI4 w/o selling limbs, I wanted to try getting it up and running on the RockPro.

One of the reasons I grabbed the RockPro was the "PI-2" gpio connector that is, more or less, compatible with the Rpi 40 pin.  I was hoping to reuse the Voicehat (which provides a nice mic array and amplified speaker output).

Installing the Mycroft software was easy enough but I soon discovered that the driver that was written for the "googlevoicehat-soundcard" was, for some inane reason, held in the sound/soc/bcm area of the kernel and it's dts claimed it needed the RPI BCM processor (it's a dac/adc/amp combo it shouldn't be tied to a specific processor.

The driver is in Raspi but I don't think it was ever in mainline kernel, or if it was, it was dropped before Linux 5.

So, not being a kernel hacker, I've walked away from that idea.

I have ordered an inexpensive USB Speakerphone and will see how that works and update here.

I've been mostly-happily using the PinePhone with Mobian for a long while (years), with MMS working pretty smoothly for a long time. Recently (last 5 days or so), MMS sending has completely stopped working.

  - It didn't happen after making any big software change (apt upgrade, settings change, things like that).
  - Group message sending and 1-on-1 media sending no longer works
  - Group and media receiving still works totally fine
  - Back when MMS sending was working, I noticed that after hitting "send" on an MMS message, the screen brightness would always change for a moment (something to do with power draw to the antenna?). Now when I try to send MMS that doesn't happen.

Any idea what the problem could be?

I have two PinePower 120W desktop power supplies, both have lost the USB-C ports.  No matter what is plugged in, the display reads 0 volts.  I have check the end devices and the cables with other chargers, the cables and end devices work fine.  I had previously charged the same devices with these PonePower supplies.

Judging from other messages, I am starting to get the impression something is defective with the USB-C port, does anyone have a fix?

Thanks

Mike

I am using noscript extension and it blocks the mobian website, is it really necessary? As it's a foss OS I think in my personal opinion that would be nice to have no javascript or use free js.

Hi all, any idea how I can buy pinephone pro in Hong Kong? I lived here but I cannot fine "Hong Kong" in the list of shipping area! 
It's odd, I know Mainland China was not in the list, but Macau is! 

I know the products are produced here, but there's no local store that sells pine products too! 
I have emailed the pine team, got an email asked me to direct my question to the sales team, and I did. It's been a week, no reply yet. I'm very interested in this product and now frustrated that I cannot buy it anywhere.

Today my phone went to a black screen after booting, it was just a filesystem issue easy to fix by running fsck maually.



I "blogged" about it in case it can help someone someday:

But I though, why asking a user to fsck manually on a phone? Is there an option Mobian could enable to just do the fsck if needed? It's not that simple as it'll still ask the user to fix or not to fix, like:
