I have a new PinePhone 1.2b with the stock Manjaro + Plasma Mobile, and one of the first things I tried (after phone calls!) was text messaging in Spacebar. It worked fine for sending a text, but a simple plaintext reply never showed up on the PinePhone.
I see some old threads and mentions elsewhere about troubleshooting this with ModemManger and mmcli, but ModemManager is mysteriously not running for me. Have times changed and there's some other way I should be investigating this, or is it unexpected that ModemManger isn't running? I've flailed around and tried to get it going (see below) but maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.
Code: # mmcli -L

Waydroid on Pinephone Pro (solution for users) |

This is my first post on these forums, and hopefully on that's useful to people:
I'm a independent developer for the PinePhone Pro (I received a dev model when they where available to order, and have
been working on stuff since receiving it).
I have made a script I dubbed Manjaro Waydroid Manager.
This program will automate installation of Waydroid on Manjaro arm on the Pinephone pro, including video acceleration, gapps / non gapps support, and more.
I hope people find this helpful if they're struggling with Waydroid on their Pros

| PPP no longer boots |

I consider my PPP officially dead. Like in Star Trek .. Kirk: "Bones how is he?" Bones: "He's dead Jim".
I have had the device lock up before but this time regardless of methods it fails to boot whether from SD or eMMc.
This occurred when I was doing a major update on Manjaro Phosh and as we all know we must keep the device awake.
Oops .. forgot to touch the screen and that was it. It did reboot and I get the "Oops" screen and thats the end of it.
So I tried flashing Arch Linux to it and the flash went fine, shut down removed SD card and that was the end . It's possible it
has something to do with requirement for tow-boot which I have flashed to an SD card but device fails to start regardless.
Not exactly a "flagship" eh guys?

I was surprised to see the Linux OS this comes with doesn't have Firefox installed already. Did I just not notice it in the list of apps? Is it a problem that it doesn't work well on mobile Linux? Is there something else I should be using instead then?

Hi first time Linux user here. I'm aware Linux operating systems usually have something called a "repository" that provides a safe way to get a wide variety of popular software for your Linux device. So on Linux Mint for example, I think it's called "software manager."
Just booted up my PinePhone... I'm wondering if there is something similar here to get me started that I'm not seeing.

| Unable to install Debian Bullseye because of missing wifi firmware |
|

I am trying to install Debian Bullseye. I have Tow-Boot already installed to SPI.
From http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/b...rd-images/ I downloaded 'partition.img,gz' and 'firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz' and combined them as per the accompanying README:
Code: zcat ~/firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz ~/partition.img.gz > ~/complete_image.img
I then used Disk Image Writer to write the resulting image to SD.
The PBP/Tow-Boot boots the installer and I get to select Location, Language, Locale and Keyboard. The installer then probes the networking hardware and reports:
Quote:[!] Detect network hardware
Some of your hardware needs non-free firmware files to operate. The firmware can be loaded from removable media such as a USB stick or floppy. The missing firmware files are:
brcm/brcmfmac43456-sdio.pine64,pinebook-pro.bin
brcm/brcmfmac43456-sdio.bin
If you have such media available now, insert it, and continue.
Load missing firmware from removable media? [Yes/No]
I assumed this firmware would have been in the firmware image I used to create the installer.
I searched online but couldn't find these files.
On an SD card with Debian installed with Daniel Thompson's installer (unfortunately not longer working) I found 2 brcm directories with the following files:
BCM4345C5.hcd
brcmfmac43456-sdio.clm_blob
brcmfmac43456-sdio.txt
nvram_ap6256.txt
brcmfmac43456-sdio.bin
brcmfmac43456-sdio.pine64,pinebook-pro.txt
fw_bcm43456c5_ag.bin
Notably there is no 'brcmfmac43456-sdio.pine64,pinebook-pro.bin', but there is a .txt file with the same name.
I copied all these files to a USB thumb drive (EXT4). Running the installer again and answering 'Yes' to the 'Load missing firmware from removable media?' question only results in the installer repeating the question. Selecting 'No' gets me to a list of drivers to choose from but none of the Broadcom drivers selectable work.
What am I doing wrong?
