On my (and your) Pine Phone the MicroSD card slot is directly above the SIM card slot on the back of the device.  Next to the slot there is a pictogram that shows what card goes where.  The bottom slot is described with "SIM", the top slot is described by "TF".  What is "TF"?  Anyideas?

Hello there,

quick question: Have any of the german Pinephone users received an emergency cell broadcast message?

My phone was silent around eleven o'clock...

Cheers!

I have an early production model PineBook Pro. I have always had problems installing software (mostly won't boot stuff).
I finally got Armbian to work well and used it for awhile. However, one time I did an upgrade it failed to boot (I get Armbian logo and a spinning circle.
I gave up on it and put it on the shelf a year or so ago. Just brought it out again to see if I could revive it or trash it.
I haven't been able to get it to boot from the SD card (this has been a constant problem from the start... I believe it's a problem with early production). I've tried all manner of things but I can't boot anything. Looks like there is a new bootloader Tow but people seem to be having problems with that also.
I was wondering of it would be useful to try to replace the motherboard with a newer version (and hopefully a functional bootloader)?

Hello PINEfriends,

I'm considering designing a stereo audio board for the Quartz64 Model B, and wanted to gauge whether there's any interest in this.

The board would most likely be based around TI's PCM3060 audio codec, as it has good performance and mainline drivers. Additionally, an SPDIF output from the Quartz64 Model B's GPIO header would also be exposed as TOSlink. I also envision there being an external mute control based on the TI TS5A22362 to eliminate any power up/power down popping noises.

So here are a few questions for people to answer:

• If you are a current or prospective owner of a Quartz64 Model B, would you be interested in such a board?
  
• At which price point?
  
• How would you prefer your analog audio output, balanced with a hybrid XLR/6.35mm connector? Or single-ended/unbalanced with 3.5mm or RCA style connector?
  
• Do you want SPDIF as TOSlink or RCA?
  
• Do you need single-ended/unbalanced stereo analog audio input?
  
• What kind of heatsink do you use on your Model B?
  

You can reuse the same MicroSD card multiple times and with multiple different images, right? I should be able to flash different images to the same MicroSD card many times before it stops working, right?

Seems obvious, but I thought I'd get some verification. Anyone have problems reusing a MicroSD card with the same or different image files?

Hello I have received PPP few days back HK distribution Manjaro
I noticed poor  battery life 
I changed OS to postmarket OS 22.06.3
Still battery drain continued :
1/ I have checked  battery capacity while charging  - it was fine 
2/ I have charged 100% battery , 
closed active applications  
disconnected WiFi Bt , data transfer
Screen off 

put aside phone : in 2hrs 50% battery drained 
Approx in 4hrs phone drains majority of battery capacity 

checked CPU usage with top :  0-3% CPU utilization

3/ back case was hot under camera area 
4/ metal square under camera - GPU / CPU ? was hot  with almost 0 CPU utilization.
5/ checked  temperature from system thermal_zone
CPU thermal 48,7 C
GPU thermal 49.3 C
battery 18.8 C

wonder if this is  software or hardware issue ,any advice ?

I'm trying to create a new rigid-flex board to replace the heart rate sensor with a different one.  Is there a way to get access to the Gerber's files for the small flex board that carries the HR sensor?  I would make it easier to get all dimensions right.  Thanks.

I noticed today that when using a wired headset, after making the first call with it all audio stops working on calls both incoming and outgoing. When this happens there are no audio devices listed in the sound section of settings, everything is just greyed out. Rebooting the phone fixes it until you use the headset again. (This is Arch+Phosh running from an SD card, updated as of yesterday.)

How come i keep getting this error

Hey there,

anyone managed that ?
My Pine64 was taking dust in a box with an old debian distro on it.
Then I decided I could maybe use it if I could put an OpenBSD on it, to replace another machine I have.

Unfortunately it keeps hanging at different points in the install process and is left in such a way that I have to reflash everything again.

To reach that point I overcame the hurdle of using screen appropriately on my mac (found the best info here and here). In short identifying correctly the serial device to use )

Then I was able to check that that page (explaining how to do with an LTS version) applied easily enough to the Pine64+ if taking appropriate files (not those of the LTS )

And now, I'm kinda stuck and it's bugging me.

Note : I tried to follow the instructions from OpenBSD.org for the PIne64+ but did not quite understand, or they don't work
That paragraph of the arm64 install page :
