  Jack connector problem
Posted by: pinebug - 11-10-2022, 01:46 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64(+) - Replies (1)

Hi,

I am unable to output any sound from jack. I tried different headphones, including Samsung smartphone earpiece (told to be compatible, according to a pine64 forum).
Tried dozens of tips and tricks found here (with alsa, amixer, alsamixer, pulseaudio), but no success.

Finally, i traced dmesg during headphone plug-in and plug-out, and what I found was intriging :

This is what I get when plugging IN :

[ 3517.655643] jack: irq plug-out
[ 3517.663413] jack: irq plug-in
[ 3517.696086] jack: irq plug-out
[ 3517.762223] jack: plug-out reported

=> so the headphone is reported being plugged out, when I plug it in.

This is what I get when plugging OUT :

[ 3532.479203] jack: irq plug-in
[ 3532.487846] jack: irq plug-out
[ 3532.496029] jack: irq plug-in

=> the headphone is reported being plugged in when I plug it out.

Strange... Can this be the source of my problem ?

  Online Accounts (Phosh)
Posted by: Barugon - 11-09-2022, 05:31 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (1)

I was trying setup the online account for Google so that I could access my address book, email and calendar but the keyboard doesn't work for typing in the user information. I tried copy and paste but then the Google login tells me "This browser or app may not be secure". This works on my desktop and was working before on the PinePhone Pro. I'm using Manjaro BTW.

Anyone have a workaround?


  Open Source or not.
Posted by: Icarus - 11-09-2022, 04:12 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (3)

I've purchased a PinePhone Pro Explorer recently. 
Several places scattered across the web are discussing if the phone is really open source.
What I'm looking for is some clarity as to the claim of "Open Source" to my device.


  Lora driver
Posted by: moxx - 11-09-2022, 07:30 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (4)

Just tried out the LoRa backplane with this driver: https://codeberg.org/JF002/pinedio-lora-driver

To get it working, I had to change /dev/i2c-2 to /dev/i2c-3 in apps/pinephone-communicator/main.cpp

The pinephone-communicator connected to the LoRa module successfully and I could send messages. Unfortunately, I couldn't test receiving, as I don't have a second device.


  Magnetometer missing
Posted by: moxx - 11-09-2022, 05:44 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

Playing around with the sensors I found out that the magnetometer is missing in /sys/bus/iio/devices, while accelerometer, proximity/light sensor and charger are there.

dmesg tells this:

Code:
[   18.550161] iio iio:device0: DRDY on pin INT2 specified, but sensor does not support interrupts
[   18.550453] axp20x-battery-power-supply axp20x-battery-power-supply: DMA mask not set

[   18.625630] iio iio:device0: failed to request trigger IRQ.
[   18.640124] st-magn-i2c: probe of 1-001e failed with error -5
[   18.820645] SPI driver st-magn-spi has no spi_device_id for st,lis3mdl-magn

[   18.834929] SPI driver st-magn-spi has no spi_device_id for st,lsm9ds1-magn

Seems like the driver could not start. Does anyone have a similar issue?

//edit: Very interesting: If I boot the Pinephone with the Lora Backplane, the magnetometer shows up successfully. Maybe this thread should be moved to the Hardware-Topic

  Otterbox case for PinePhone
Posted by: car46999 - 11-08-2022, 08:35 PM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (5)

FYI for those looking for an Otterbox case that fits the PinePhone, here is the one I found that fits very well.

OtterBox uniVERSE Case for Samsung Galaxy XCover Pro 

I will need to trim out for the camera, and it needs a small trim for the small button the side.

Other than those modifications needed, it fits like a glove (when I pulled it out the back cover started coming off). And it has good screen protection.

  What OS have you recently flashed onto PBP eMMC?
Posted by: jcun4128 - 11-08-2022, 06:58 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (6)

I hate to post this generic question.

I just got mine yesterday and it was running Manjaro KDE Plasma out of the box. I temporarily bricked my PBP trying to flash the generic Manjaro ARM Team image from here, using this process.

I think this borked my eMMC as I had troubles booting anything afterwards.

I was able to get something working using Kali/Armbian and now PostmarketOS. Kali didn't have WiFi, Armbian couldn't get past the initramfs/busy box (because laptop keyboard wouldn't work).

I'm using PostmarketOS now which I was able to write to the eMMC using their installer image/balena etcher and boot.

Issue is I don't really want to stick with Alpine just because of the package manager/issues... eg. I want VS Code.

I would like to get Manjaro back but I keep having problems trying to run it. I tried this one:
https://github.com/manjaro-arm/pbpro-images/releases

And while it boots, it goes into kernel panic (yellow/green power led flashing).

I also tried manjaro-arm-installer, I used my Pinephone Pro to write it onto SD card.
I went through the interactive guide, but in the end it also would not boot from SD card.

I wish Armbian worked with regard to wanting to use apt.


  PinePhone carrier support in Hungary
Posted by: notramo - 11-08-2022, 10:35 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (7)

I could not get the PinePhone working with Yettel LTE network in Hungary.

The wiki says it is supported. (The entry was added by @dachalife.)

The modem connects to the cell towers (LTE), with good signal strength, and recognizes that it is on Yettel HU network. It also displays some information about the network.

The APN credentials in the Pine64 wiki are correct.
APN name: Yettel
APN address: online
The same information can be found at yettel.hu website. I also asked it personally, and online from the customer support, they said the same. The online customer support also said that the APN setting have to be IPv4 only. It wasn't mentioned by the other sources, so I don't know if it's up to date.

I tried the above settings, both with IPv4v6 and IPv4 bearer settings.
It always fails to connect, and it says “Error: unknown APN name”.

SMS sending works. I couldn't test calls as I have a data-only subscription.


  need help with downgradin network-manager
Posted by: Ferriah - 11-07-2022, 04:51 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

hey all,

I've got an issue, and thought I'd post here and see if anyone has any ideas on what to do

When I first got the pinephone (back in February of 2021) the network-manager was workin very well. I have a buildin that I'm in a lot, and the network-manager of that time got service in there (I'm guessing it was 1.29.90-2). after we went to 1.32 I haven't gotten service in that buildin sisnce. 

I've been wantin to downgrade to network-manager 1.29.90-2, and decided to finally try it. so I downloaded it along with libmn0, and aptitude tells me that wpasupplicant will break if I downgrade. I won't have internet at all while switchin to the old network-manager, so I can't get apt to download something to fix wpasupplicant.

what should I do with this? do I need to download wpasupplicant beforehand? if so, which version worked with that older version of network-manager?

at first I tried to go to an older image and excluded network-manager from the updates (along with libmn0) but the phone has always seemed to struggle with huge updates like that (gets glitchy)

would appreciate any ideas!
