  How to check hardware revision?
Posted by: jojuma - 06-23-2022, 06:15 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (1)

Hi,

some time ago, somewhere in the internet, I found a way to check the pinephone's hardware revision using the terminal.
I searched and searched, but I'm not able to find this anymore.

Does somebody have a clue how that can be done? I have two pinephones and I know, that one is revision 1.2a and one is 1.2b. I reinstalled OSes, had covers removed and played around.
I'd like to know again, which is which.

Thanks for your help!


  Maemo-Leste is Working on Pinephone
Posted by: biketool - 06-23-2022, 02:51 AM - Forum: Maemo Leste on PinePhone - Replies (4)

Another community working mostly outside of the Pine64 forums is Maemo-Leste.  They take the very mature Maemo OS of the Nokia N900 and upgrade it with Deuvian(no systemd) to modern standards as well as adding apps from the rich Maemo mobile app repos.

I like the developed and alt flagship phone deployed UI much better than Phosh, has anyone else booted up an SD of Maemo-Leste for a test drive for function or for nostalgia?

  MMS workaround for users with separate APN
Posted by: alaraajavamma - 06-23-2022, 01:43 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hello!

I find out quite good workaround for MMS if you have separate APN for Data and MMS.

If you wan't to find out more about this original issue see here:
https://gitlab.com/kop316/mmsd/-/issues/5
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkMa...issues/958

So there is option in elogind that it will do something right before and/ord after suspending and this is what I am now using.

Firs you need to create bash script and for me this works:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
case $1/$2 in
pre/*)
nmcli c up mms
;;
post/*)
sleep 5 && nmcli c up internet
;;
esac

You can just open gedit and paste it there but notice that you have change "mms" and "internet" (right after nnmcli c up) to match your own apn names.
Then save file for example mms.sh and put it in your home folder

Now open terminal and type:
Code:
sudo cp mms.sh /usr/libexec/elogind/system-sleep/
Code:
sudo chmod +x /usr/libexec/elogind/system-sleep/mms.sh


And reboot.
Now right before your phone suspends it will switch to MMS APN so your arriving MMS messages does not get expired (only thing you have to remember is suspend atleast once a day Smile ). You will also receive notification because it is MMS.
When suspend stops (you open phone or receive call,sms or mms) it will wait 5 seconds and switch back to DATA APN.

Make sure you have correct apn settings in System settings AND in Chatty Smile

I am trying to learn more on this MMS thing but right now this is ok solution.

Ps. This should work also on Mobian, Arch and Manjaro but the file goes to different place and the command might be little bittle different.


  Malfunction: horizontal white streak on the screen
Posted by: regivanx - 06-23-2022, 12:59 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - No Replies

I wanted to report a malfunction of the screen after 3 years of use.

White horizontal trace, a few centimeters long and one millimeter thick. Can only be seen in dark images. Faint blue artifacts above and below the line, and to the left. Does not prevent colors from being displayed, but the screen cannot display dark colors in this area.

I guess there is not much to do.


Thumbs Down Phone is unresponsive
Posted by: theneedful - 06-22-2022, 03:18 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (14)

After an upgrade, I came back and the phone was dead. I've tried several of the troubleshooting techniques on the Wiki, but the device is completely unresponsive. Even plugged in and with a new SD Card. 
I tested the battery and there is a ~3.0V charge. Documentation says 3.3V is needed, but I'm not sure why the device is complete dead. 

Please help. Thank you.


  Receiving SMS stopped working
Posted by: treebeard - 06-22-2022, 02:48 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (11)

My Pinephone stopped receiving SMS while it has a Verizon SIM.  This worked fine for months but stopped abruptly a couple weeks ago.  The phone can still send SMS, and both send and receive MMS.  There are no messages in the logs when a SMS should be processed.  The text messaging history on my Verizon account shows the messages so it seems certain they were sent.

When my Ting/T-Mobile SIM is installed in the Pinephone it will send and receive SMS and MMS fine.  When the Verizon SIM is in my backup phone, it will send and receive SMS and MMS normally.

I've swapped SIMs several times and the pattern holds. The phone has been through several reboots & battery removals with no change in symptoms.  I've booted from several different SD cards and the problem persists across OS. 

Firmware is EG25GGBR07A08M2G_01.001.01.001.  Any ideas for diagnosing this?

  Broke my screen
Posted by: Barugon - 06-21-2022, 02:35 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (7)

My phone slipped from my fingers literally four inches from the top of the counter and the screen is now cracked in multiple places.   Angry 

So, my first question: when will replacement screens be available? My next question: is there a TPU case available that has edges high enough to protect the corners of the screen?


  Power supply vs battery
Posted by: albafrati - 06-20-2022, 05:36 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (11)

Hello  Smile
I'm I new owner of a Pinephone. After a few tests I decided to install Mobian Phosh.
To save battery life during the first tests I connected the phone to a power supply (0-30V, 0-5A).
I used a resistence to simulate the battery thermistor.
My power supply is regulated to 4.1V as measured from original battery.
The phone behaviour is very strange to me. Sometimes seem booting but is stuck with black screen, green led in the upper left corner lit and a current drain of 0,4A.
Sometimes it boots and seem to work correctly but if SIM is installed the phone turns off after a few minutes.
Anybody had related experiences or can give me any advice to make it work reliably as with battery?
Thanks and regards  Smile


  Manjaro ARM new version? And hibernate/ sleep mode
Posted by: regretfulpineuser - 06-20-2022, 02:48 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

I saw an announcement for new Manjaro ARM version but accidentially closed the window, where can I find this page again? Does this update fix the mousepad?

Also while doing some research I saw that one person was able to get hibernation to work using some sort of KDE function in Manjaro ARM KDE version, can anyone give me some pointers on this?
