Back in the N900 days we had an app which used rendezvous auto discovery IM protocol to bridge the phone's SMS to LAN instant messenger.
While HeySMS could probably be ported or cloned with recent libs https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=84705 I think that there is probably a quick ready to get a basic SMS send.

Is there an easy way to send a command line trigger or AT command followed by the text to at least write a SMS and then send it over SSH.

According to Megi's 6/23 blogpost, the PinePhone Pro is missing camera calibration data.

Any chance PINE64 has the equipment to get professional camera calibration for the hardware they ship?

I am an everyday driver pinephone 3-32gb w/mobian user.
The reboots and modem cutouts during the day are survivable, but the battery life is difficult at best.
If I rent a car and the poser or USB port is dead it means only satellite navigation at the end of a trip.  No video or surfing on the train unless there is a USB port or mains jack.  Even listening to an audio book can easily knock me to below 50% after two-three hours and will continue to until the hardware audio acceleration and buffer is improved.  Even 10 minutes checking webmail can easily burn 15%.
Most often the answer is Megi's kernel, but as this is an everyday driver phone I want something at least as stable as I already have.
If Megi's kernel is better why is it not adopted by Mobian or other distros?
What is the downside aside form being outside the normal software upgrades?
Back in the Nokia/Maemo days the testing repos for Maemo5 had the power kernel with all of the extra community tweaks to turbocharge the distro and it included missing hardware optimizations, all just an apt-get install away from a reliable alternate to the Nokia kernel.

To those already running Megi's kernel and other tweaks what is your difference in battery life as well as system performance, what about system reliability?

Eu professor me presenteou com um pine64LTS, e sou noob com essas coisas.


É possível instalar algo semelhante ao "Retropie"? Instalei o Armbian e executei o . mas o que fazer com este pinho 64lts ?

SO,
I have a pinePhone Pro Explorer and the keyboard phone holder.
Firstly. Is there an easy or "recommended" method of removing the Phone from the the keyboard holder??? I was forced to use tweezers and twist them and try and wriggle them behind the phone and in front of the screen bit just to get the phone out. It wasn't easy, and the phone now has scratches on it.

Real Newbie question.
What do I do now??
I REALLY wanted this pine phone so I could seamlessly integrate the phone with my desktop. Abilities to sync emails, copy of phone calls, Voice recordings of VoIP calls, copy of sms & mms, and files.
I don't use social media full stop, and have no intention of ever using it. ScoialMedia just sucks the life out of privacy!


How do I go about Testing things? I am half a point higher than a noob with linux to begin with, but I can search and figure things out. I do like a good problem to solve, as long as I know it's a problem.

SO FYI. Ask me to work out how to change something setting on the phone. My Autistic brain will thank you for it.

Will I ever learn. I did a dist-upgrade this evening, immediately lost access to the internet via wifi. So I restarted the PPP and it came back up but still no internet via wifi. 

I tried shutting down and booting instead of just a restart. Now I cannot boot from the SD card with mobian on it at all. Or at least not in the same way I started it up til now. Double press and short hold on the power button normally did the trick but now nothing. 

I just checked to see if it was a coincidental hardware failure but the PPP boots OK from Manjaro/Plasma which came installed on the eMMC.

Anyone else experiencing anything similar?

I have been trying to get the any of the BSP images to boot on the SOEDGE. I made some discoveries along the way I thought I would share. I did not see these posted anywhere else so hopefully this will help someone else.

I could not use rkflashtool on linux. It would not detect the SOEDGE while in maskrom mode. I did not troubleshoot this very far, but I think it's because it USB PID is not what rkflashtool expects. Maybe there are some udev rules that could fix this.

I tried several combinations of drivers and software on Windows 10. I eventually got the BSP image to work with the usb A to A cable.

The Rockchip tools download links in the wiki no longer work at the time I tried them. I did find a version of AndroidTool (RKDevTool) elsewhere that works. The exact version was labeled AndroidTool_Release_v2.71.zip. I used the drivers from DriverAssistant v4.5. I used the links from the Firefly Core-1808-JD4 download page.

With this combination, Androidtool was able to detect the board and flash it with the BSP images in the wiki. If you flash the Factory Test Build by Gamiee and have the touchscreen attached to the baseboard, it will boot up with a splash screen and then load a simple touch interface.

Also, like other have stated, I was not able to get the serial console working. However, adb will work. If you keep AndroidTool open and leave the usb A to A cable plugged in. It will change the detected board status from maskrom to adb after the board boots up. I used the adb_tools.zip for Radxa. With a adb start-server and adb shell, I was greeted with a prompt that was clearly the SOEDGE running.

After reading about the SOEDGE on the forum, I consider this a win as I never thought I would see this thing run code.

Hello,

in the mobian section, there's a thread about overheating and how to edit thermal zone values.
I want to apply lower values to the thermal zones of postmarketos, too.

The current values are:

Hello,

while setting up postmarketos on pinephone I encountered some problems, I don't get along with.

Probably the easier one: I try to access the PP shell via SSH like described on https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/SSH.
The password should be the same like I use for sudo commands, right? But whatever I try, my password is not correct...
And which is the correct folder to put the public key?

Secondly I'm trying to set a default app as video player.
I tried using the xdg-mime command like described on https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Default_applications.
But it says

I use my headphone jack a lot, and I think the connection is getting pretty shaky. When I play VLC on my Mobian phone, it pauses when headphones are inserted or removed from the jack. Nowadays, when I'm walking around, VLC pauses constantly, whenever the jack is even nudged.

It also sometimes misinterprets a volume control command from the headphones when they're jostling around, and my audio will go up to full blast. I'd like to disable both of these features.
