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.

Any sync file method (like dropbox) in manjaro?

Thanks.

The speaker and vibration motor broke for me after the 2nd time after just about a year. I can't see any obvious damage to the data line (edit: i saw later, see below), but it seems to be a common problem: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...#pid102753

So is this design ever going to be changed? I've never had this happen on any previous phone I owned, ever, and some of them I dropped pretty hard, not the few bumps my PinePhones had. If I somehow get this repaired, not that I'd know where since I imagine the average repair shop has no idea about PinePhones, or got a new pinephone replacement, what'll keep this from happening next year?

And a phone without amy sort of indicator for a call when it's in your pocket is somewhat unusable for many people. So it's not like this is a minor issue.

Would be a nice opportunity to step up the robustness and weed out this failure point if you're planning to sell it with a markup and with warranty now.

Edit: chat requested an image, here it is. As far as I can tell, nothing is obviously disconnected, the black cable at the speaker makes an oddly tight turn but I don't think it's disconnected either:

Hello, I have contantly having phone call issues with no sound on both parts. When I make the call it usually does not work, but an icoming call i happens all the time. What could it be?

Hello,

The latest seems to be 20.04 is there any newer version?

Thanks.

Instructions to get pinephone working on USA carrier.

My pinephone cusrrently works on a USA carrier as of this posting.
Below are instructions.

Model: pinephone (should work with pro version because it has the same modem)
File system: full encryption
OS: Mobian (fully updated) (supports VoLTE) (mobian-project.org)
Carrier: H2Owireless (h2owireless.com)
APN: att.mvno (H2Owireless runs on the AT&T network)

Get a sim card from H2Owireless.
(You can give your pinephone IMEI number and they should tell you that it is compatible with their network.)

Voicemail:
Call your own phone number to access the voicemail system.
(For example, if your phone number is 1234567890 then dial 1234567890.)
(I just create a contact labeled "voicemail" with my phone number.)
(You can setup a voicemail password if it is your first time accessing the voicemail system.)
When someone leaves you a voicemail, you will get a text message from phone number 1000000000.
This text message will be full of code.
Just pay atention to the value of "m".
"m" represents how many unread voicemail messages you have.

MMS:
You do not get any notification when you get an MMS.
If you get too many MMS messages, it will prevent you from getting SMS messages.
To check if you have any MMS messages, use the command "mmcli".
You can also use this command to delete the MMS messages.
(Please do not ask me how to use "mmcli".)
If you need MMS support, I suggest the following link.

I did the following, the pinebook pro would boot to into debian installer, and the install completed successfully but after install, the pinebook pro would no longer boot.

wget https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm6...399.img.gz
wget https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm6...ion.img.gz
zcat firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz partition.img.gz > final.img

I used "dd" to copy final.img to my eMMC adapter with eMMC module attached.
I reinserted the eMMC module into the pinebook pro and the pinebook pro was able to boot from it.
I was able to complete the install but the pinebook pro would not boot after the installer completed.
I did an expert install and selected "Guided - use entire disk and setup encrypted LVM".
What more has to be done to make the pine book boot?
I am loking for specific instructions to do this myself.
Do I need to select manual partitioning?

I do not want to use Daniel Thompson's pinebook-pro-debian-installer because it is over two years old and no longer maintained.
