  VoIP incoming calls issue
Posted by: saddamus - 08-24-2022, 03:59 PM - Forum: General - No Replies

Hello,
I was looking for a VoIP app for pine and the only one that seems to be handy is the app that is installed out of the box - gnome calls.
My problem is that this app is fine for making calls, but does not work for incoming calls.
Capturing with tcpdump shows that the app keeps registration until phone is online, but when internet connection is broken for a while then comes back, the app does not register anymore. Even switching off and on the app UI (process keeps working in background) does not help. I have either to make a call or disable and re-enable voip account to make registration back, which will work until next internet outage. 
Does anybody use any voip app with pinephone and arch or postmarket OS that keeps SIP registration and is reliable for incoming voip calls ?

  Fix for Armbian not booting on PBP from eMMC
Posted by: agreenbhm - 08-24-2022, 02:57 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (7)

I just finally found a solution for this and wanted to share at a high-level. 

In short: there's something not right about the DTB file from Armbian.  I replaced the Armbian file "/boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb" with the file "/usr/lib/linux-image-5.<x>.<x>/rockchip/rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb" from Kali and it boots like a champ after that.

After getting it to boot my 2.4ghz wifi worked but 5ghz did not.  Download the 3 files here to your /usr/lib/firmware/brcm folder: https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/build-scrip...rmware/pbp


  Lot of issues after flashing mobian to emmc with tow-boot
Posted by: benedikt55 - 08-24-2022, 04:23 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (5)

Actually I'm really disappointed by my pinepkone and mobian........I'm not at all a kind of nerd, but since years I have debian on my PC and I love it and get by with almost everything I need to do with a PC( ......running a local radio station, radioshows, DJing).
For DJing the pinephone with its docking box was my favourite tool, I recommended the pinephone with mobian as OS to a lot of people.

Now after having flashed mobian to the emmc via Tow-boot a lot of things are working no more or behave strange:

low disk space
no access to some apps
most apps you ve to start and restart and restart........
no email client
can not install apps I would need like: unzip, disks etc...............................

The most strange thing is, even mobian should have being flashed to the emmc, mobian does not start up when the sd card is removed, the red light is blinking than red goes yellow and is endlessly blinking, nothing else is happening.

So what to do?

I' m missing a clear step by step guide to flash mobian with tow boot, reading other posts about those issues I've to notice there is some confusion about it?

What is the most stable mobian-img actually?

Thanx a lot for any help!


  replacement body shell for pinebookpro, or, sell mine for parts?
Posted by: speculatrix - 08-24-2022, 04:21 AM - Forum: General - No Replies

Mine was one of the first batches and suffered a crack in the LCD bezel, not so bad, but more recently the hinges broke.

I can't see how to buy the body shell for a PBP.

If someone had one that's in good shape but the motherboard has failed, I'd be interested in doing a deal to buy your shell.

Alternatively, I'd be willing to sell you my motherboard (it's got the larger EMMC on it, courtesy of being an early order) so you can repair yours. Also, I could sell the LCD and keyboard etc.

I'm based near Cambridge, UK. Willing to travel moderate distances for collection/delivery.


  spontaneous reboots in jumpdrive mode
Posted by: flynx - 08-23-2022, 03:48 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

I'm trying to make a backup image of my PP.  I press the power button and then hold 'volume up' until I get the blue light.  I connect the phone to my desktop and the volumes appear.  I start a dd command to copy the phone's internal volumes to an image file on my desktop.  It runs for a few minutes, and then the phone spontaneously reboots long before the dd is complete.  AFAIK, this would also happen if I was trying to write an image from the PC to the phone.  Am I doing something wrong?


  Fedora Workstation (36) on Pinebook Pro
Posted by: u974615 - 08-23-2022, 03:26 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (13)

What is the current status of Fedora on Pinebook Pro?

Using the PINE64 wiki ( https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinebook_Pr...ase#Fedora ) :

Links here: https://builds.armdevelopers.com/pineboo...eases/dev/ 
Which has a Fedora Workstation 32 image.
 
Or do I just grab the standard Fedora aarch64 raw image here?

  SOQuartz Getting a working build
Posted by: dl-m10 - 08-23-2022, 10:07 AM - Forum: Linux on Quartz64 - Replies (7)

Hello,
I recently started evaluating the SOQuartz to use as a replacement for the Pi CM4 but am struggling to get any working version of linux. I was able to run the debian installer from this but after completing set up I get this read out bellow:

Code:
U-Boot SPL board init
U-Boot SPL 2017.09-ga1f6fc00a0-210413 #ldq (Apr 13 2021 - 11:35:00)
unknown raw ID phN
unrecognized JEDEC id bytes: 00, 00, 00
Trying to boot from MMC2
No misc partition
spl: partition error
Trying to boot from MMC1
MMC error: The cmd index is 0, ret is -110
mmc_init: -110, time 5
spl: mmc init failed with error: -110
SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
# Reset the board to bootrom #


Has anyone gotten their SOQuartz to work?


  Mobian on PPP

  USB C side board out of stock
Posted by: gab - 08-22-2022, 05:12 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (3)

Hello,

I would like to report that it has been multiple weeks (more than 3) that the USB C side board is out of stock: https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-usb-c-side-board/

Any chance to have an estimate of when it will be available again ?

It is really painful to charge the phone or use USB storage when you have to apply pressure to the end of the cable.
I do own the battery charger and a second battery but that is much much less usable (I want to keep the phone plugged when I am at my desk), and also would destroy the back cover quickly.

Also regarding "For service purpose and only sell to Pinephone owner, limit quantity to 1." => I understand the point but I would really much like to have a spare to avoid this kind of situations, so allowing 2 instead of just 1 would be great Smile

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,

Gabriel
