Hi,

I am from HK and would like to pre-order the Pinebook Pro. However, I cannot find "Hong Kong" in the Country list. Is it possible to ship to HK?

Thanks

Almost every time I connect via minicom to ttyUSB1 to get gps messages all ttyUSB ports disappear from /dev and usually but not always reappear after minutes. Dmesg says this:
usb usb2-port1: disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling...
usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 3
option1 ttyUSB0: GSM modem (1-port) converter now disconnected from ttyUSB0
option 2-1:1.0: device disconnected
option1 ttyUSB1: GSM modem (1-port) converter now disconnected from ttyUSB1
option 2-1:1.1: device disconnected
option1 ttyUSB2: GSM modem (1-port) converter now disconnected from ttyUSB2
option 2-1:1.2: device disconnected
option1 ttyUSB3: GSM modem (1-port) converter now disconnected from ttyUSB3
option 2-1:1.3: device disconnected
qmi_wwan 2-1:1.4 wwan0: unregister 'qmi_wwan' usb-1c1b000.usb-1, WWAN/QMI device


rarely connection works and I can see NMEA messages.
can anybody help? thanks

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!
