Hello all!

Just recently I bought a new emmc module for my pine64pro (64GB in size) with the intention of installing debian onto it. I can download the debian bootloader and install debian onto the emmc ok - but cannot boot from emmc (only microsd).

I think the reason for this is because somehow u-boot on my system has become "locked". It refuses to work with any usb keyboard - I do see u-boot messages and the message about pressing a key to stop uboot but it ignores all keyboard input and continues to load (so I'm unable to change anything - including trying to boot off emmc via changing a setting in u-boot).

I've tried 3 usb keyboards now and u-boot ignores them all. USB keyboards do work but only after the debian installer has finished loading.

Also if I remove the micro sd card with the debian installer on it I'm completely unable to boot., no messages or anything. Is u-boot on the emmc, sd or ?

Is there a way to clear out u-boot's settings or rewrite it?

Hello

I lose the connection several times a day and I have to enter my PIN code each time to get it back. Please can someone tell me where it can be configured? It's very annoying, I become unreachable for hours when I don't notice the connection has been lost.

Moreover, I often have to turn off and on the mobile data to make them work anew after this prompt, I'd be glad to be able to get rid of this limitation too.

Firstly I am wondering if anyone knows where the audio mode scripting happens so that I can go exploring.

It has been a big problem that when I leave headphones plugged in I get no external ringtone and I miss calls.

There is also the issue of failed mode toggles when we remove headphones form the jack, or we connect a bluetooth speaker, headset, or car handsfree.  Sometimes the PP even fails to toggle between phonecall and normal mode after a call especially if speakerphone is used.

Lastly I am looking for the phosh GUI that is linked somewhere on the forums which lets us configure ringtones and possibly SMSs, I dont think we have personalized ringtones for different contacts yet.

Hi,

I did a recent update (within the past week) of my pinephone (community edition) running mobian, however, applications can no longer access the internet even though the PP has a connection to my home wifi network. For example, the web browser is unable to access any website and reports that it cannot connect to the server and questions whether the address is correct.

This behavior seems like a dns issue however, the dns setting in the gnome-settings/wifi is correct (i.e., defaults to gateway). The wifi connectivity information (essid, address, gateway, etc.) in gnome-settings/wifi are as it should be.

I suspect that the PP itself is blocking internet traffic; however, I don't know how to investigate this possibility.

Note that other devices on the home wifi network do have access to the internet.

I can still make and receive phone calls, as well as I can send/receive text messages. Rebooting does not fix.

Any assistance will be appreciated. For example, possible way to diagnose the root cause or attempt a possible fix (e.g., reconfigure wifi somehow)?

Not sure what to do to restore internet access

Cheers.

    I am well and trully inexperienced so much of the terminology on the posts means little or nothing to me. I have a lot to learn.

My initial problem with my Pinephone pro was with passwords. On first use all seemed O.K. Then when I shut it down and went in again it wouldn't recognise the pin I had put in and kept coming up with "Wrong Pin". And there is another password that it keeps asking for but again won't recognise what I put in. That one it seems is for changing things like time zone etc. I set the time zone when I first used the phone and the time has remained correct but every time I get into the phone it seems to want me to set the timezone again and keeps wanting the password, that is not what I thought I had put in. I had still been able to get into the phone without it recognising the pin or the password. And I set up and used  the phone and went on line but it still wants an ellusive password. Suddenly without any change on my part it started recognising the Pin it hadn't recognised before. Then things started to go wrong. 

Anyway I was told I needed to flash from an SD card. Have tried to understand this from the WIKI but it is not clear.

The WIKI speaks of burning an image to an SD card. I went to the options and downloaded the files from the Manjaro arm site but there were several image files plus text files, and as the wiki only talks of burning a single image file what is what with the others and what are the text files all about? They are not something I can read. So can someone explain what I need to do here?.

I run Ubuntu on my computer and my only experience with burning image files has been burning new versions of Ubuntu using "Start up disk creator" and that only accepts Ubuntu images. The Wiki talks of using the program "Disks" which is on Ubuntu but I have never used that for burning image files. So I need some step by step instructions'

What is pico wizard?

There are other problems and more I could say but this is where I start. I don't have a lot of time so can't get in here often and find when I do come in things have changed and I can't find things that were there last ime I was in,  but anyway I need to start somewhere.

I have a PBP from the recent batch. Today I restarted it with 1% battery charge and it didn't turn back on. After a forum search I tried loading it over USB-C, which worked. After a time, half of my screen was vertical grey lines. Then after restarting and logging in, the screen was all vertical grey lines. I tried switching from Wayland to X11, which worked, but switching back also worked. Then it stopped working entirely. With the barrel charger it wouldn't turn on, charging it over USB gives a blinking red light. Without the battery and the barrel power adapter, nothing happens, but with a USB adapter the Pinebook produces varyingly pitched noises. Any ideas?

TL;DR I'm experiencing this issue but with the Pinebook Pro and the solution outlined there isn't helping me: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=6819

So I've recently upgraded the eMMC in my Pinebook Pro to 128 GB, and I wanted to use an SD card as the home partition. I've partitioned it as the following:

I’m trying my luck here in getting help with the issues on my PP og:

I was updating manjaro phosh from v25 to 26, when autosuspend kicked in and the screen didn’t come back. I turned the phone off to early and now I get the following error and the os doesn’t boot:

Did anyone managed to make tow-boot working on pinephone beta edition ?
I tried releases for pinephone and pinephone pro, flashing to SD card, but none of them was working. There is no reaction on pressing power button - not even blinking led light. I wanted to test Mobian, but there is no way without working tow-boot.

We need a dark theme on this forum please.
