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?


  pinephone pro boot: kernel image not aligned on 64k boundary
Posted by: kmerfeld - 06-20-2022, 01:08 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (2)

Hello, I was trying to install the custom modem firmware (https://github.com/Biktorgj/pinephone_modem_sdk) on my pinephone pro,
but I think I borked something. whenever I boot I get something like https://pastebin.com/q6ksLzih

This happens on both emmc and sd card, though I wiped emmc over tow-boot's USB Mass Storage mode at some point.

I've tried booting with postmarketos and manjaro, and get similar results. Any pointers on what I can do?


  How to make manjaro sleep or hibernate? KDE?
Posted by: regretfulpineuser - 06-20-2022, 12:56 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

I read somewhere that someone found a way to make pinebook pro hibernate using a function in KDE plasma? Can anyone help please? The inability to sleep or hibernate is what is keeping me from really enjoying this machine.
Using PBP version Manjaro "Rolling release" (how does this differ from stock really?)


  Manjaro PBP stable update 2022-06-19 bricked
Posted by: wpeckham - 06-19-2022, 09:12 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

I check for updates daily, and keep up with all updates.
Today there was a rather large install/update set of 300 packages total.  It took around an hour.
It included a new u-boot.

After the install I rebooted, and it appeared to work.  Aisleriot seemed to fail, but that is a minor thing.  I installed the u-boot update to the EEMC using the usual commands.  After that, on reboot it failed and locked at "script failed, continuing" at a => prompts and the status light yellow.  It did not continue.

Booting form an old SD card to Manjaro, I installed the OLDER u-boot to the EMMC in case I had a bad u-boot image, but that did not change the behavior.

Has anyone experienced this? 
I am looking for a way to recover so I do not have to migrate my home off to the SD card and update that.


  USB 2.0 OTG port slow performance
Posted by: disctanger - 06-19-2022, 09:11 PM - Forum: Development Discussion on PineCube - No Replies

I am working on https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PineCube#Pi...s_a_webcam section of PineCube wiki.
I am trying to get USB 2.0 port  to reach maximum bandwidth with OTG port (Hi-Speed - 480 MegaBits/second) on PineCube device. Currently it is performing as Full-Speed (12.5 MegaBytes/second) usb port.



I have measured the speed and performance using iperf + g_ether kernel mod + OTG port (details below)


Official datasheet of PineCube (https://files.pine64.org/doc/datasheet/p...180123.pdf) tells that the port can perform up to 60 MegaBytes/second or 480 MegaBits/second.



UVC gadget (g_webcam module) is also performing at Full-Speed mode.

My questions are:

  1. How can i reach high speed on USB 2.0 port. (probably too general)
  2. Could the issue be be related to USB drivers or Device Tree set up?
