Hello,

I'm running postmarketOS on my Pinetab. Today I ran updates in "Software" (I know, I should have done this in the terminal).
The PineTab froze while the updates where running. After plenty of time I decided to do a hard reset.
I was happy when it booted normally after that. But then I realized, I had no wifi due to no wifi adapter had been found.

Is there a way to "get it back" or do I have to reflash the whole OS?

Thanks!

UPDATE:
I reflashed postmarketOS. That seemed much easier than messing around with that. I probably can delete this thread then...

i would like to know if it is possible to install a pinephone pro mainboard in a pinephone for an upgrade of the cpu, ram and storage

Apache NuttX RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) now boots on Pine64 PinePhone and runs Touchscreen Apps! All we need is a microSD Card for booting NuttX on PinePhone. NuttX won’t touch the eMMC Storage in PinePhone.

In this article we shall…

1. Make a Bootable microSD with NuttX inside

2. Configure NuttX to boot an LVGL App

3. Make LVGL Apps more Touch-Friendly on PinePhone

4. Take a peek at the LVGL Demo Apps available for PinePhone

And explore how we might create our own Touchscreen App for PinePhone.

NuttX RTOS for PinePhone: Boot to LVGL

Hello,

I bought my phone 2 or 3 years ago, but back then it didn't really work out for me.
I want to try again since the software has been updated.

Problem is I really don't remember my password.

So it's impossible to sudo or root.

Which I why I would like to format the phone and do a factory reset.

Any idea how this can be done ?
I could not find it in the documentation.

Thanks in advance.

Hi!

I brought an "open box" pinephone (convergence; default OS - Manjaro KDE Plasma Mobile) last week. 
It turned out the seller fiddled around with it and entered a PIN #s.  He does not remember the PIN
#s, thus I can not unlock the phone.  Is there a way to get in and unlock the phone other than
reinstalling Manjaro KDE Plasma Mobile?  Is there a way to factory reset - will that work?  If
I use another bootable iso and change some #s, will that work? 

Bottom line: what is the most easy way to "login".  All I did so far is charge the phone, power it
on, and find I cannot unlock the phone.  There is nothing in the phone - no SIM or micro cards, no
nothing.

Thank in advanced for your help.

Hi Pinephone users,

Has anyone found a way to manually import a .csv file into contacts? I don't want to have to install a cloud-based server for my phone numbers.

Wellwishes,

I am trying to operating a pbp with a system booted from an encrypted NVMe drive, but I stuck at the same step and would appreciate any help:

•  I use an unencrypted partition on the eMMC acting as boot partition that holds the kernel and an initramfs. The latter was build taking among others the hooks `plymouth`, `plymouth-encrypt` and `lvm2` into account.
  
• I am trying to boot a Manjaro (22.12) system which is located on a btrfs filesystem within the encrypted container on the NVMe.
  
• As bootloader I use Two-Boot (on 1st partition of eMMC), which works and allows me to interrupt the foreseen boot process in order to boot from SD. If I do not interrupt it and try to boot via eMMC from the NVMe, the image file is provided (which is the only thing I get since a dialogue is shown just very shortly). Then it stucks with a black screen and a green power led.
  

I recently reflashed the latest stable image of Manjaro/Plasma Mobile on my pinephone, and now pretty regularly when it goes to sleep there's a pretty solid chance it wont wake up until I hold the power button and reboot.

I did some looking online and saw this: https://xnux.eu/log/#077


it's saying that some linux distros are improperly using the latest version of megi's Pinephone Linux Kernel, resulting in the CPU IDLE functionality is broken. Is anyone else having this issue?

My Quartz64 model B just arrived today.

Sorry for the dumb question, but I really struggle to find the SD card slot. M.2 is there, eMMC is there but no SD.

Are there models without a SD slot? Some older pictures of model B look pretty different from mine.

TIA

Hey there,
since I bought my PPP I've never managed to get the internal earpiece to work. Whenever I set pipewire to use the earpiece, no sound can be heard, even at maximum volume. Same thing in the phone-call configuration (What is that even for)? The connections exist, so I have no idea what else it could be.

I'm currently running a reasonable up-to-date Archlinux ARM (DanctNIX) installation using megi's kernel.

Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Is this a known problem? I have not heard of anyone else with this problem

Thanks!
