When I bought my PinePhone, it was with the intent of bouncing from OS to OS, filing bug reports and maybe contributing some code when something easy came up. This was my life until about fifteen minutes ago, when, during a roofing project, my daily driver decided it was long for this world, jumped out of my pocket, and smashed into concrete; face-down at just shy of terminal velocity. Funny enough, the podcast that I was listening to is still playing. Regardless, this is going to go away as soon as this episode ends and I will need to switch full-time to my PP (roofing project stole my money). I've found the Gnome Podcasts app, default on most of the Phosh installs, to be lacking in many ways, mostly with discovery and compared to AntennaPod. What would be the best PinePhone OS for daily-driving and a good podcast app for it? So far, I've only come across Gnome Podcasts and G-Podder (which is almost unusable due to scaling issues) and both are a bit disappointing.

I'm not expecting to have a full-blown Fountain or Antennapod experience here, by the way. I understand the early status of many of these apps; I'm just looking for the best of what's available right now.

Hi to all.

Just don't use the graphical program to  install or update the system, it does not work.

For exemple I tried to installl chromium but I got errors of dependensies.

With the command line I was able to install chromium with no problem.

The commands:

Update OS: sudo pacman -sYu

Install a program:

sudo pacman -S chromium   (and it works)

Now I love Manjaro.

Hey guys and girls,

My name is daniel, i'm from israel.

I'm not a technical user, but the idea of free and open source software is deep in my heart and i believe in it
I dream about having an foss phone and from time to time i check on the internet about the progress the different projects are doing in this field...

I'm checking out the pinephone pro and i'm very curios
First of all will it work in Israel? i couldn't find any information about the worldwide compatibility
Second of all, i'm a really minimal phone user
I can use my bank web app, i just need calling and sms and web browsing to work
And whatsapp with anbox
So what do you think, can the pinephone pro work for me?

I will be very happy to hear you opinion
Thanks in ahead!
Daniel/Dani

Hello,

I need help getting the screen brighter using Dietpi, running on debian bullseye.

Hi,
I noticed a problem with making calls when mobile service is 4G. When I tried to make a phone call it ended quickly. When I switched to 3G it worked. On my android phone when I was making calls it automatically switched to 3G every time (only during a call). Is is a carrier thing? Maybe It would be nice to add this automatic switching feature like in android devices.

Could it be possible to access the mobian website without javascript?

I today updated pmos/phosh edge and now I don't have audio. There used to be an "Internal Speaker" option in the audio output of settings|sound, but now the only choice is "Analog Output - sun9i-hdmi." So this means no audio in/out for phone/web/apps/etc.

I thought it was this again: https://postmarketos.org/edge/2021/04/15...ire-pulse/
but that's not the fix this time. Pipewire-pulse doesn't seem to be the culprit. And I can pop in an old SD card with un-updated OS and audio is fine(ish) so it's not hardware suddenly flaking out.

Ideas? (Thanks in advance . . .)

Hi, a few weeks ago I noticed that the chat app on my pinephone isn't getting texts anymore. I can still send them, but not recieve. I'm running mobian phosh on a pinephone beta. I haven't changed carrier or anything, and I haven't really changed anything on the phone. Does anyone know what might be going on?

Hi, I am using Rock64 computers for a product and a few of them are failing in the field.  The symptom is that the computers lock up with a kernel panic (kernel paging request fail) and then do nothing until a power reset is performed.  It seems that the problem is memory related as we have started running memory tests on them and some of them fail the memory tests in as little as 5 minutes or less.  We have tried it with the 1 GB Rock64’s and also with the 2GB Rock64’s and they all exhibit the same failure issues.

Has anyone come across these issues? And is there any workaround or fix for it??

My Pinephone with Convergence package arrived yesterday

I powered it on and the first couple of set up screens worked fine then the screen started flickering with a second fainter image appearing about 1cm above the main image on the screen. (eg the time is shown twice, with the fainter ghost image  above flickering up and down)

I managed to run the updates, and I charged the battery, and I have rebooted several times but it is still  the same

Has anyone met this problem or have any suggestions as to what is happening?

Thanks
