I have the casing of a older pine phone but the main board and microphone has been removed and I'm green . I would like to know if somebody would help me out with a part number to a set that I could at least use phone maybe text so I could get started. The main use would be to download music.

Hi,

I have problems getting started with this phone.
At first there were problems loading this phone altogether.

Now it actually loaded the operating system, but writes:
can't run /sbin/getty I/0 error

The OS is PostmarketOS

Hi,

I've got my PinePhone, but there seems to be a problem.
For the first time I did everything fine, but I suppose the problem was that I put an inactive SIM card, for the first time the phone didn't load and it write smth like "login' at the top of a black screen. Nothing else happened.
Then I perhaps did the wrong thing - I didn't know how to turn it off, so I took the battery out.
Since then the phone only loads to a factory test.

What should I do next?
Sorry, I'm a newbie here. I actually thought the phone would have the OS installed and I wouldn't have to do smth extra.

Best.

Here's how we build an IoT app with Zig and LoRaWAN ... And run it on PineDio Stack BL604

Has anybody gotten Waydroid working yet on the 5.18 kernel on the Pro? Currently running Arch Phos.
I have heard of success on the OG Pinephone

Sometime last year I purchased a 3GB PinePhone beta edition with the convergence package. Since then I haven't used it very much but I have been trying to use the phone with the dock recently on a fresh install of the latest stable image of Manjaro with Plasma Mobile. All my packages are up to date and the phone has not been giving me Mali driver crashes like it used to.

However when trying to use the PinePhone with the dock I am noticing a strange problem when attempting to use an external monitor using the HDMI port. Both USB ports work fine with the wireless keyboard and mouse that I have attached, and the ethernet cable and charging port work fine as well. When I plug the entire dock into the PinePhone it detects all of these devices attached to the dock and is able to interface with all of them properly except the external display. So I get power, my keyboard/mouse, and an ethernet connection.

The strange part about this is that the PinePhone is able to determine that it is connected to an external display - the display mode changes to desktop and you are able to see the output options on the touch screen (duplicate display, etc.) However the external display does not detect a signal coming from the PinePhone - most of the time. Occasionally I will see the desktop flicker on my external monitor. Even stranger is that if I hold the dock at a particular angle above the phone itself the image stays, but as soon as I let go and place the dock back down it loses the signal again.

I have tried the Convergence dock on two separate external displays, with two different HDMI cables, and even used a different external USB-C dock with the PinePhone, and the Convergence dock with a different computer to determine what exactly the issue here is. I've come to the conclusion that the issue is probably the PinePhone's USB-C port itself, since the Convergence dock works fine with HDMI output on other devices, the displays themselves are working fine, the common link between all of the problems is the actual PinePhone. The only source of doubt is that the other devices hooked up to the dock will still work even if the HDMI output does not.

I don't know how to fix this issue if my PinePhone has a faulty USB port. I am well outside the warranty period and have no experience with fixing hardware. If anybody has any idea where to start looking in order to fix this I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Hi,

wrote Lioh Möller about the possibility of updating the firmware of the modem Quectel EG25-G.
I followed the instructions. There were no error messages. It now has the latest firmware version.
However, the modem does not work under postmarketOS. Only in Manjaro Phosh Beta 24 does it work if I toggle the "Mobile Data" switch on and off and on again under "Network".
The modem also does not work with Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-dev-pinephone-20220613.
It's like an own goal.

Disconnects very fast. Bluetooth mouse a bit slower. Bluetooth keyboard and mouse are important for LibreOffice. We think it should be possible to edit files with the PinePhone keyboard, since LibreOffice can be controlled by keyboard shortcuts. But LibreOffice was designed to be used with a mouse and has dropdown menues. Therefore a stable connection to a Bluetooth mouse is very essential for LibreOffice on the PinePhone.

Unfortunately, we did not manage yet to get a working HDMI out with an usb-c to HDMI adapter on the PinePhone. Therefore, we promote  Miracast adapters:

«Miracast is a standard for wireless connections from sending devices to display receivers, introduced in 2012 by the Wi-Fi Alliance. It can roughly be described as "HDMI over Wi-Fi", replacing the cable from the device to the display. The Wi-Fi Alliance launched the Miracast certification program at the end of 2012».

Hello,

I bought a rockpro64 2.1 with a 32gb emmc module.

I read different wiki pages and ended up installing U-Boot on the spi.

But even if U-Boot works and I could finish the Debian install on emmc (which I did before installing U-Boot), everytime I boot it seems like it doesn't detect anymore emmc. It's says:

Card did not respond to voltage select! : -110

Ok then I thought it's a wrong version of U-Boot so I installed towboot.

But I get the same error.

Any idea what I am doing wrong there?

Thanks
