Hi

I recently drowned my Samsung Galaxy Xcover Pro SM-G715FN/DS, the display not works...

Since I've Arch Linux KDE on PC (my config https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?...5#p2221235), I'm interested to the PinePhone Pro with Manjaro (based on Arch Linux) Plasma Mobile.

Is there a FM receiver? https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10863

But the display is 1440x720, I'd like at least 1920x1080.
Also I'd like eSIM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESIM instead of SIM card & its slot.

Will there be a future new PinePhone?

Thanks.

Hello,

I just try to install Mobian on my Pinephone using the dd’s method but when I put the SD card inside the phone and try to boot on it, I get the “Enter disk decryption passphrase” of Clamares. I read that “1234” is the default password, but it doesn’t work. Clamares tell me it’s a wrong password. 

I flashed my sd card many times, trying some tweeks, but the message still the same.


So, what can I do to bypass this situation?
Thank you.

I just recently got a Pinecil v2 and I want to make sure that my setup doesn't have issues. The two screws which hold the tip get hot enough to burn me if I brush them while rotating the pinecil during soldering. Do your screws get hot?

Cable: anker 100W silicone usb-c cable https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B093GGNRZM
Charging block: Apple 140W laptop charger https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/product/MW2M3AM/A/140w-usb-c-power-adapter
The device says it's getting a consistent 20V and has never posted a warning.
Firmware: v2.23-rc4
Tip: initially noticed with a ST-KU tip I got off Amazon but the original tip it shipped with also has this issue
Temps: 350-380C used while I was testing using lead free solder

Is this just something I need to be aware of and avoid touching? If so that's fine. If the entire tip is supposed to get hot it would make sense that the screws touching it also get hot.
Some searching suggests that it could be an issue with either my setup or some of the circuitry in the device and I don’t want to damage it. 

This is on Arch ARM* or Manjaro installed on RP64. If compiling on amd64 machine, set CROSS_COMPILE variables accordingly.

Hi,

I'm relatively new to the community here, as I received my first and, so far, only Pine64 product roughly a year ago, even though I've been reading the blog for much longer.

It's the PBP, and I've been using it as my only laptop.

It's really good for what it is: being small, light, having a long battery life (for light tasks), it is entirely silent, it looks and feels like a premium product.
The RAM capacity and CPU performance are limited, but it's good enough. All demanding tasks I want to do can wait for the moment when I get to my desk and boot up my desktop PC.
My laptop's role is mainly displaying PDFs, static websites, running a text editor, running GIMP, compiling small programs, letting me SSH into other machines.
As for the future: the machine serves its role well, and this isn't going to change, so even though I would like my next laptop to also be a small, light, fanless Pine64 product, I wouldn't want to buy it until 2030. Also, given that performance is not very important, I think that the increase between RK3399 and RK3588 is relatively insignificant, and Pine64 either way should wait for new, more promising hardware to become available before beginning work on a new iteration of the Pinebook.

Hello,

just a Reminder:

LINUX Mobile is DEAD (and it's never coming back)

I've noticed that the mobian dialer has an option to add a SIP account.

I did so and was able to place a call over wifi with no SIM card in the PinePhone. But after a reboot, the option to place a SIP call is gone even though the file /home/mobian/.config/calls/sip-account.cfg is still present and unchanged. And I had to re-enter all SIP account details in order to make another call.

Is the dialer supposed to notice the presence of /home/mobian/.config/calls/sip-account.cfg after a reboot?

Does this work for anyone?

When looking at the schematic for the Pinecil I don’t think I see any open gpio pins, but I was bored and was curious to see what you guys thought about trying to incorporate a multimeter into the Pinecil. Has anyone attempted adding anything like this?
