Does the step counter log the number of steps in a period of time in InfiniTime or another OS. If so, does it also log time stamps for when the steps were taken? If not, would it be possible to stream the step counter data to one of the companion apps and log it using the app?

Thanks

I have been using Lollypop since I started using my pinephone on Alpine/postmarketOS and it is also part of Mobian Phosh.
Lollypop is probably great if you spend the time learning how all of the add-ons work, it seems like a cool player but I think it has too many nonstandard options enabled by default.
I don't care to worry about extra functions, i was happy in the early 2Ks with a used Diamond Rio 500, volume, skip forward and back, pause, play and shuffle/order play.
I didn't need more and still really don't, XMMS(Audacious) with winamp skin is still my favorite desktop player.
If you consume music like this maybe Amberol is for you vs Lollypop.
Amberol requires your music dir every time(it includes your SD card) it loads so I dont think it has a .conf file, then it takes a few 10s of seconds to scan and be ready to play.
I assume Amberol is in early dev as it doesn't work well from the lock screen, skipping works but pausing removes the media control form the lockscreen and requires unlocking to access and restart play.
I feel like Amberol(once the lockscreen pause issue is solved) would be great for playing a directory over car bluetooth where interaction beyond pause and skipping is a safety issue.

A side issue, l wish that with all entertainment multimedia apps incoming telephone/VOIP calls app or the OS would trigger a multimedia pause command when ringing the ringtone for incoming calls.

Hello,

If I setup a SSH connection simply using the password, with a numerical passwordof 8 digits it will be very easily crackable right? If I let port 22 open on the pine phone, and I connect to another wifi than my lan, or to 4g, will my device be vulnerable to brute force attacks?

Hi , all


I didn't originally purchase an RTC battery holder with my Rockpro64 , honestly not knowing the benefit of having one. Now I would like to get one , however to purchase the one fro the pine store incurs a courier charge of £30 in the UK.
I thought I would be able to find loads of alternative options for such a simple device on ebay or amazon ( although of course I would rather get one from the pine store ) , but it seems a replaceable RTC battery holder is a rare thing.

does anyone know of anywhere I can get an alternative, or possibly know the name of the connector so I can "DIY" a standard AAA holder and add the connector ?

thanks in advance

Hello

I would like to create a how-to file. If there is a usb-ethernet adapter available, then the steps could look like this:

source files
bullseye

• firmware-brcm80211 holds some wifi firmware -- is this required?
  
• raspi-firmware holds brcmfmac43456-sdio.bin
  
• firmware-misc-nonfree holds rockchip firmware
  

... is what I have to pay now (after receiving the parcel).
just wanted to mention it for documentation

I'm unable to play audio through an HDMI cable connected to an LG TV using a usb-c adapter from QGeeM. Video works fine.
I've tried both pulse audio and pipewire. I'm running Manjaro.

Does anyone else have this issue?

This has been an issue I've noticed for ~1 year: if entering a password to pair with a bluetooth device, the password entry dialog will crash almost as soon as it displays, and the selected device will be lost while the phone scans for available bluetooth devices again.

The fact that this apparent issue hasn't been fixed for so long tells me this may just be something specific to my installation. Is there a fix for this?

Hi all,

Received my first 2 sealed PineTimes today. One I was able to open, sync to, upgrade and is operating happily (it is SO COOL!)

The second however:
Powered on when I placed it into the cradle to charge (from PC USB port). I connected to it, began the upgrade process (Infinitime 1.6 -> Infinitime 1.9), and got called away. Returned hours later, grabbed the cradle+PineTime from the computer and began commute home. But: I cannot wake the screen. The device appears dead - screen is black/no backlighting, and unresponsive (I've tried holding the button for durations ranging from a single click to >60 seconds; no apparent change in state).

Did I somehow break it? Is there a timeout to successfully completing InfiniTime upgrades? Is it a DOA unit?
I tried searching online (although not yet in the Discord chats) but didn't find anything related to this sort of problem.

Any advice please is welcomed, thanks

I have an Airvoice SIM card* I've been trying to get to connect, but it's not working. NetworkManager seems to detect it properly and lists the correct SIM ID and even reports that the carrier is AT&T. I've tried using both "reseller" (no quotes) and "NXTGENPHONE" (no quotes) as the APN, but it never successfully connects. Here is some of my journalctl output matching /modem/i:  

Failure mode 1: roaming-in-location-area-not-allowed

1. Do I need to issue modem commands manually to troubleshoot/fix this? I don't know how to do this, having relied on NM/MM so far; if it is, what's the best way to do this?
   
2. Am I just not in the service area? I somewhat doubt this because I'm in a relatively densely populated area, but what I can understand from searching the reject causes suggests this might be the case. (I'm reluctant to switch to other providers mostly because I haven't found any prepaid plans less than 3x as expensive, but if it can't be avoided...)
