Hi! Regardless of a battery %, my PinePhone v1.2a won't start charging - unless I shutdown it before connecting a USB cable ; then, PP auto-starts when you connect it to a charger, and could be further booted & used fine while still successfully charging in this way. I tried the different chargers, and even installed a CameronSino CS-SMJ700SL (perhaps the best alternative battery) - but I can't get a PP charging if it's already booted to an OS.

My favorite charger (a dumb 5V 2.4A without "Quick Charge" features) - shows the charging current on its' LCD display, which helps to ensure that a device is really charging. If I connect it to the PP while it's already powered on, it will only eat ~0.3A - which could be enough to support the current power consumption, but not to charge! However, if I connect it to the PP while it's off, it will auto-start and eat ~1.3A - enough to both charge a battery and power a CPU/LCD/etc.

Regarding the software: I'm running the latest PostmarketOS. Although I upgraded the ANX7688 firmware ( see Pine64 Wiki ) , I think I've had this problem out-of-the-box with the default ANX7688 firmware and Mobian. These "charging quests" are really annoying, because I have a FDE enabled and each time I'd like to charge a PP - I need to turn it off, plug it into a charger and input two lengthy passwords while booting. Is there any way to fix this?

What’s the lowest achievable power consumption on a Quartz64 B with basically everything shut off (Wifi, BT, HDMI, CSI, ... all OFF), but the system still listening to/waiting for GPIO inputs?

Does it make a difference whether the system runs on Android or on Linux?

TIA!

Bonjour à tous,

en France et à Toulouse, l'association Toulibre organise un événement de deux jours, le Capitole du Libre, autour du logiciel libre et de la culture.
Il aura lieu cette année le 19 et 20 novembre prochain et comme à son habitude, dans les locaux de l'école d'ingénieurs INP-ENSEEIHT.
Conférences, ateliers et village associatif sont présents tout au long du week-end.
Pour le moment, nous n'avons pas de conférences ni d'ateliers dans la langue de Shakespeare.
Mais une présence de la communauté Pine64 francophone au moins dans le village associatif serait intéressante pour présenter les projets en cours et à venir.
Si une conférence en français est possible, ce serait formidable.

Merci de votre attention et nous pouvons démarrer les échanges via le forum.
A bientôt,

Does anyone know where to buy the pad that is underneath the emmc on PineBook Pro to have it level? I have the Rockpro64 sbc and the emmc is just hovering in the air on one side and need something to stabilizing it so it doesn't come off easily. Thank you.

Hi, I have local/danctnix-phosh-ui-meta 0.2.2 installed and local/phosh 0.17.0-1.

I have been unable to upgrade phosh to 0.20.0-1

Is this possible? When I run 'sudo pacman -Syu' it replies that there is nothing to do. Must I re-flash a whole new image? Or is there some way to upgrade my current installation?

What if we could drag-and-drop NuttX Sensors to create IoT Apps for PineCone BL602? This article explains how...

Is anyone else having issues updating the Pinebook Pro Manjaro ARM GNOME 22.06 image?

I attempted to update the system on SD card (and internal eMMC) via "Add/Remove Software" (pmac?).  It locks up at "Checking Integrity...".  Then after shutting down, the OS won't boot.

With all the concerns raised about charging difficulties,
I wonder if the PinePhone's hardware is still being improved,
or whether it was a "one and done" operation.
Is Pine working to fix hardware problems?

Hello, I got a pinebookpro two days ago and it was not booting, I would press the power button and nothing would happen, neither a red nor green light anywhere nothing was happening neither with a short or long press of the power button.

I read the troubleshooting guide about the emmc switch, but I didn't have the tools to open the computer. Today I got the screwdriver and as I was opening it (so not even touching any switch or anything) I heard some noise coming out of the speakers I checked the screen and the manjaro initial setup screen was there. I closed the computer back and went through the manjaro setup and I checked that everything was working (speakers, microphone, wifi).

I then prepared a SD card to install devuan on the pinebookpro (https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dist...rd-images/) and I was able to boot from the SD card and go to the installation process. I arrived to the part when it tells you installation is over please remove the SD card and reboot and I did, but it did not reboot.

At this point I am in a similar state that I has at the beginning I press the power button and nothing happens, no orange or green light, no reaction from the computer at all, it does not boot from the emmc cardm and it does not boot from the SD card (I even disconnected the emmc to try to make sure uboot is takn from the SD card)

Any ideas on what I could do?
Thanks!

Hi,

I've had a Rock64 from back in 2017 when they were first launched, I ordered it with an eMMC 32GB chip which has been working flawlessly, however....
I now regularly run out of storage space and I'm running bare minimum resources to keep storage low.
I have spare, 64GB and 256GB MicroSD Cards, I was wondering if it was possible for me to somehow clone the eMMC onto one of these MicroSD cards, plug it in and boom, I am back to where I was but with more storage?

I know this isn't going to be that simple however, any guides or tips would be most welcome.

Thanks.
