Hello,
I was not able to find any information on this so I am trying it here. What is the rated endurance in terms of data written of the eMMC modules that can be attached to the Quartz64?

Goodmorning to everybody,

I' ve 4 Rockpro Pine64, 3 of them work correctly, while one has the red led flashing, I tried to change the micro SD card, I also tried to start it without any micro SD card but the red led keeps flashing.


How can I solve?

Thanks,
Daniele

I see that an old bug has resurfaced? I have always edited the phoc.ini in the phosh directory to 150% but I see now that after reboot it has returned to 200% default. It appears as though the phoc.ini no longer controls the scaling?
Has anyone else run into this issue very recently?
If so were you able to fix it or edit another file?

Hello world :-)

I have just pre-ordered StarFive VisionFive2 board [1] with StarFive JH7110 with RISC-V U74 CPU.

Someone pointed me to a similar but more robust STAR64 project from the PINE64.. but I can only find a WIKI page [1].. no Forum section.. no Store section.

I would like to ask about the PINE64 STAR64 project status:
* When it will be available to order?
* What would be the price?
* Do you plan FreeBSD support?

Thanks :-)

My phone (OG PP) is no longer ringing reliable.
If the pone is already up (awake), then there is not issue perceived.
But if it is sleeping, then it it seldom ringing if called. The phone is waking up, hence I don't assume an issue w/ cell or modem.
I tried to tweak one parameter from eg25-manager, not sure if this is the right approach.
The line

Hi all,

I've just got around after months of inaction to doing the initial set up of my PinePhone Pro and installing the latest nightly (20220925) of Manjaro Phosh.

Install was fine, and flashing the emmc was fine. As to was installing updates from the UI - an improvement over the original PinePhone. One hardware oddity I thought I'd ask about here though...

I have the USB-C dongle from the original PinePhone. This worked fine for both a basic USB keyboard, HDMI to a monitor, and as a Network adapter on the old PinePhone.

On the PinePhone Pro though it appears that although the Pro is charging fine (at max 2 Amps too!), the USB keyboard is not receiving power and doesn't work, and the LAN connector although lighting up doesn't seem to be configured to be used by default on the PinePhone Pro. (No 'LAN' connection by default in the network settings, and no IP assigned).

Does anyone know the magic incantation to get the USB keyboard and the Network adapter working with the Pro please? I'd ideally like to be able to look cool on the train and edit code with a usb keyboard attached to the PinePhone Pro whilst placed on a stand I have! (random use case, I realise!). And Not to have to buy the keyboard case (although it does look cool to be fair).

This dongle is not mentioned on the PinePhone Pro wiki page alongside the other adapters specifically for the Pro, so I'm not sure if it's even meant to work.

I've not tested HDMI yet but plan to next weekend. (I'll probably need to do that to see all of the Advanced Network Configuration apps UI! LOL.)

All in all it's a little easier to get started with than the original PinePhone I think. The speed of the device feels infinitely better too - I'm really looking forward to trying it in anger. When I relocate my spare SIM I'll test it for calls and general use too and do a vlog episode on it for my channel. It'll be heavily caveated that this is not a mainstream device, don't worry!

Thanks for making the PinePhone Pro, and I'll report back with any further problems/solutions/suggestions as I find them!

Does anyone know where the Manjaro images (xfce) for pbpro using kernel 5.7.19 are available for download?
The images on Manjaro's GitHub page come with kernel 5.18 which breaks the usb-c to HDMI driver.

Hello everyone,

I am just checking in after a month or two of having my PBP, from the 6/22 batch. Please feel free to skip to the TL;DR.

Currently, I am running a Gentoo system, with TowBoot and then systemd-boot to boot. Initially, it was quite painful getting used to ARM64, as I have only installed Gentoo itself a couple of times, and that alone can be a bit tough. But, as all Gentoo users know: once you get settled into your installation, not much can go wrong. I really can't complain about this laptop (except for 2 things, which I'll get to later, but you can probably guess from the title of this thread), I love the battery life, and the build quality of the laptop as well. The laptop is also the right shape and size and weight to be travel worthy.

Besides the PinePhone, I haven't really got any experience with ARM, but my impression of it is very positive. I really like my PBP!

However, things are not perfect in my experience. I have to keep the sound off because of the issue with the speakers that is documented here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8242

And I also haven't been able to get hibernation completely working. I am not sure of the cause of that issue, though.

I was hoping maybe somebody here would be able to give some insight to those two problems, it seemed like at least the speaker whine was able to be fixed a little, but I am not very hardware-inclined, so I'd ask for any fix to be dumbed down for me.

TL;DR very happy with the PBP running Gentoo, but I would like some help with the speakers and hibernation situation

Hi, are there any apps that you are missing on pinephone? If so maybe I will write a web application using your idea Cheers

I have a new pinephone keyboard that I am using with Manjaro (5.19.8-1-MANJARO-ARM)

The keyboard works and the phone says that it is charging the internal battery, but often the battery meter on the phone slowly drops to zero.

I have a script on boot to update
