I'm trying to install using pmbootstrap and I'm getting this error:

Hi,

sorry for this shameless self-plug:

Help with expanding and maintaining the list is welcome, and so is feedback :-)

Hello Pine phoners,

I've not been able to get cell data or MMS working with my AT+T prepaid sim. Voice and SMS are fine. WiFi is fine. I've tried Manjaro-Phosh and Manjaro-Plasma and Ubuntu Touch with no success. Couldn't get SuSe working at all.

One one of them  (can't remember, Phosh I think) it would say that I needed to log in and send me to an AT+T site where I put-in the phone number and the password (not the PIN) and that would allow me to into that web site but nothing else. Utuntu lets me fill-in the MMS entries but doesn't hook up at all. 

The APN settings don't make sense to me on Phosh or Plasma as they're pretty sparse (nothing about MMS stuff). The phone appears to detect the presence of the 4G but won't hook-up to the internet. I tried putting-in the phone number into the APN 'username' and *both* the AT+T password and (alternately) the AT+T PIN but nothing seems to work.

I called AT+T and confirmed that I got the IMEI correct.

I don't think it's hardware as I'm able to get the AT+T web site that shows me how to pay my bill to load (of course). Is it AT+T? Is it the pinephone software? What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance,

Scott Sands

Hi all,

I came back after a year or so of inactivity in the Pinephone world; I've always dreamed about a free (as in freedom) Linux phone, and when the Pinephone came out, it was incredible for me (I had a Librem 5 order that I cancelled for a Braveheart, which I sold and eventually bought the Mobian edition). The beginning of the community program was terrific; excellent stuff came out, and a lot of enthusiasm. Unfortunately, after a couple of years, my impression is that the development and popularity of this fantastic piece of hardware have plummeted, or at least it's what I feel following from the outside. The development of the platform has become relatively slow-paced.

In the meantime, Pine64 announced the Pinephone Pro, another dream that came true, with a better camera (I USE my phone camera), improved CPU (another sad part of the Pinephone) and, on paper, the numbers to do very well. I ordered one of the first Explorer Edition, but after receiving it, I didn't have any time to play with it (personal matters of various natures), so I put it aside. Recently, I started learning Python, and I was attracted by the idea of using my PPP with the keyboard as a small portable learning device. I've started looking around, and I've read and heard so many bad things about both of the devices (PPP AND keyboard), particularly the latter with serious hardware issues that make it, as far as I've understood, pretty much unusable.
There are plenty of issues with drivers, battery and stability in general. I would've expected that the Pro would get a better start after the experience with the Pinephone, but it doesn't seem so yet. This is terrible news; I was hoping that the PPP would rock.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a good idea to launch a similar program as for the original Pinephone with the Pro version to boost the development of, for example, battery management, modem and camera drivers, to start with the most annoying issues that this device suffers.

Hello!

While we are waiting multiplexing APN support I have tried to find out some workaround so that I don't lose MMS messages.
This is not perfect and many solutions might be wrong but hey at least it is working automated
I am using this same script to improve battery life so all "gsettings" parts are not necessary but they make the phone suspend much much faster if screen is locked.

If you wan't to find out more about this original issue see here:
https://gitlab.com/kop316/mmsd/-/issues/5
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkMa...issues/958

So first we need two bash scripts and lets call this first one start.sh

Those sound really interesting as the 64bit core also has quite a good clock, dunno if I can beg, borrow or buy one as I am interested.

I haven't an absolute clue of what its capable of but looking its has possible use as a usb/wireless mic array and maybe with the npu a mic array usb/wireless KWS.

I have been looking for an alternative to the Esspressif Esp32-S3 because of thier tendency to provide hardware blobs than open source which is near all there audio and KWS models.

Doesn't matter if I can not grab one but interested how the devs are getting on and what its capable of.

https://github.com/sipeed/TinyMaix seems to support the NPU whilst audio there is some choice

It does seem to have mic in but when I see a ADC labelled as general purpose it tends me to think from experience that it may be noisy and I2s (which it is also very capable) might be the way to go.

I did a simple realtime delay/sum beamformer on the pi which is my normal code molestation/hack https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/Proje...ee/main/ds

Also done a lot of work with a lot of KWS models and would be interested how and what the Devs are finding with the bl808

have two keyboards for sale, both new in box but taken out to test, one works fine, the other outputs wrong characters when typed for whatever reason.
asking $60 total for both that includes usps priority shipping (united states only please) send me an pm if interested and ill have them dispatched asap. thanks

I’ve been working on some things regarding the keyboard case that could be useful to others:

PinePhone Keyboard Review
PinePhone Keyboard Documentation
ppkbbat-tools – A couple of tools to read and control the battery of the PinePhone Keyboard Case, including automatic power management
ppkb-layouts – Various keyboard layouts for the PinePhone Keyboard Case to use it as intended or to go beyond into the realm of custom layouts (includes mirrored modifier layouts for better thumb-only typing and German versions)

I love my PPKB and I’d like to thank everyone who contributed to this device becoming a reality!

Last week I updated Mobian and found that the up/down volume buttons no longer worked either when using the phone's internal earphone or an external wired headset. This evening I updated to the latest, including dist-upgrade which pulled in mobian-base, mobian-phone-base, and gnome-calendar.

After this update not only are the volume controls not working but when I went to test phone operation I received a popup from the contact list saying something like "Cannot find primary phone book". However after using the cancel option in the popup the expected contents were listed and the error message has not been repeated even after rebooting.

Anyone else seeing these issues? The lack of volume control doesn't make the phone unusable and is just an annoyance, but if it comes down to it I have a full image backup made just before the most recent updates. However I'll probably wait and see if the next round of updates fixes this.
