I am comfortably set up with a Pinephone running Mobian and a Bluetooth keyboard, but it would sure be nice to be able to see two apps at the same time like in Ubuntu Touch or even in Android.

How do I do that?

I'm getting ready to boot a RockPro64 on Armbian 22.05 and. as soon as it arrives, my new Pinebook Pro as well.  I've looked at the wiki pages, but nowhere can I find a maximum size limit for the boot microSD card.  Can anyone:

1.   Advise me if here is a size limit recognised by either system for MicroSD cards?

2.   Can a MicroSD card which is used to boot the system be partitioned, or must it be left as a single partitioned drive?

I've decided not to add an NVME card to the Pinebook Pro because, compared to the supplied drive or an SD card, they seem to be power hogs.  For its intended uses the laptop needs battery life and storage size far more than memory read-write speed., so I'm hoping to use a single, huge MicroSD as its primary disk drive.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.  Perhaps I'm being overly cautious, but I can still remember HP-1000 computers, which had odd maximum addressing problems on very large disk drives.

Thanks!

I have a Desktop power supply that stopped supplying power through the USB-C port. Wireless and all the other ports work fine.  

Has someone else encountered this issue? Is there any way to fix this? The wiki suggests the device is not designed to be opened.

Good morning,

I tried to install mobian on emmc but I hadn't changed the bootloader, from that moment the phone doesn't turn on anymore.

I tried with sd card inserted, without sd card and holding down the RE button.

I tried to connect the phone to the PC but not with the lsusb command it never appears.

Is there any way to fix the phone? spare parts?

The Pinephone Pro is a beautiful project that I would like to learn more about.

Thanks for your attention,
Giacomo

Hey everybody ...

   ... OBS Studio is available in both the Phosh and Plasma version of the PinePhone Pro repositories, but I can't get it to work, it complains about the GPU and/or the graphics drivers.

Has anybody had any luck with that, and/or could anyone point me in the right direction?

Hello,
     I've installed waydroid on postmarketos on the pinephone and what I've noticed is that waydroid takes minutes before it actually loads and also videos do not play in apps like NewPipe.  Is there some kind of optimization that needs to be configured after installing waydroid?

Many Thanks.

Hello fellow Pine Users/ Enthusiasts! I am new to this community & look forward to getting my Pinebook Pro in the next few days. I'm new to an ARM powered device, but I hope to potentially discover what these devices are all about. I have a little bit of experience with Linux [mainly Ubuntu & a tiny bit of Kali] & hope to see the difference on ARM with Linux vs. using these systems on Intel X64. As such, I hope I can contribute some useful info concerning testing various hardware with this device. I have quite a few different USB related devices I am looking forward to testing & hope someone out there can benefit from any info I share concerning.

Hi back,

These last month I was stuck with a Pinephone Pro not working (Manjaro would not update and could not connect to my phone company...)

Today I lokked at it again, installed Tow-boot and flashed Mobian instead - and made my first call.

So far, so good. The funny thing is I can't change Mobian's password (at least from GUI). Whatever i try, the password is not accepted. Should I do this from the command line? Sudo passwd <user>?

I have a Pine Phone ... somewhere in between.
It isn't a pine phone beta, nor is it a pine phone Pro.
It has 3GB of RAM and 32GB emmc.
I can flash any flavor of Arch linux on it, but if I try to flash Mobian to either the emmc or a microsd, the phone refuses to turn on/start. It never even makes it to the point where the power light blinks.
The minute I put arch on it, it works like a charm.

Any ideas on how to get mobian working?
