i am trying to update archlinux dreemurrs 20220124 from distro demo image 2021-11-20 and i get error

 

Hi, 

I've been trying for 3 days to get an linux image to boot on my RockPro64 without any success. I followed the initial sticky forum message and ended up waiting a day for 0% downloaded from various servers. 

Then I found the latest daily images and used a boot installer by concatenating the FW and partition, and burning the img to an SD in linux with dd. I cant seem to get a new single partition SD card to boot, I only had success with an SD I had used with my Pi - that has 3 or 4 partitions on it.

Anyway the new May 2022 installer got to 100%, then I got a flashing cursor where I could type, rebooted and back to the installer again.  Also, has anyone actually got a RockPro64 to install Debian and boot to it in the last 3 months ? If so, was there anything you had to do apart from create the SD image, answers the installer questions and let it install ? 

For the serial UART output, I watch it with 115200 baud, and I can see the initial messages, then it starts outputting garbage. Any reason it switches like that ? Is the first part the rom/boot at 115200, and then does the baud rate change when its running the installer ?

I have three Pinephones one phone is on stock firmware, one phone is the opensource firmware, and the other phone I flashed the open source firmware but returned it back to stock firmware. The phone I know is on stock firmware I know which one it is but I need to know which is on the opensource firmware and to know if the stock firmware took in the second phone. Is there an AT command or some other command to tell me what firmware I am on?

Of all the OS images available which is the most advanced in terms of power efficiency?

I worked on cellphones at Qualcomm for ~tens years.  I'm very interested in this topic

Will there be spare parts available for the PineTime such as the LCD+Touch and battery?

Is there trick to creating the Linux image for the Quartz64?  I have no trouble burning and booting the Android 16MB emmc image but I have tried burning Armbian, Arch images and LibreElec to emmc and SD  and I don't get the the kernel logo (or any HDMI) from them.  I've tried burning with Windows and Ubuntu.

The SD image contend look find when they are mounted in Android.

Thanks,

Martin

Hello,

I have two questions:

1. If I order a Pine Phone Pro to ship in the EU, must tax paid by the recipient?
   
2. What is the meaning of the sentence "In general, custom tax and VAT not included except Pine Phone EU VAT batch."? Does it mean that the Pine Phone Pro is shipped inside of the EU and only shipping must be paid and no tax?
   

I've got MicroG and Aurora running on Waydroid here. Apps generally work, eg a food delivery app and Bolt, which is like Uber. I installed Bumble and set up my profile, but It won't let me see any potential matches, it's just says 'oops, check your network.' Network is fine, I suspect it is a location problem, although settings says that Bumble has not requested location, while other apps have. I have the Mozilla location backend for MicroG installed. Any tips or ideas? Thanks!

Hello,
I've watched a few reviews of the Pinephone and Pinephone Pro on Youtube.
There is a common theme about charging: That the phone has to be powered up while it is charging.
Has anything changed lately in that regard?
I have also noticed that the reviewers complain about battery life, because it seems the OS is unable to tell running apps that the phone is locked or the screen is off. I wonder why it doesn't just decrease the CPU cores' speeds in that case.
Thanks.

Just posting that there are still Pinephone Convergence sound issues occurring. Sometimes when making a call the call connects and I can hear the other person but they can not hear me. I have to hang up or they do and then I play with sound settings trying to figure it out. The calls system (Gnome) is erratic, unstable. At one point after this problem I noted that in sound settings there were no data in the fields. This indicates to me a complete crash of sound application. 

I would like to suggest that Calls and Chatty be their own operating system. A dedicated call/text system similar to that of Android type system. I now see that sharing the sound system with the operating system regardless of system is not a great idea. Is it possible to have a dual o.s. ? In my case Arch Linux but separate to Arch a dedicated side by side call / text system that Arch has nothing to do with?
