I am finding that if the PPP is off the charger (as in your pocket when you go out) it turns off after about 45 minutes and does not answer calls.  If you activate it with the start button, it still wakes up (not a reboot/restart from cold) and does answer calls.  To me this makes the PPP dysfunctional as to be a usable cell phone if you can't reliably get a call after 45 minutes off the tether.

I am running tests calling PPP with android phone.  It looks like about 45 minutes from a full charge before it goes dead and stops answering after being off charger.  Still at 70% or so battery.  I will continue to test. Manjaro-phosh system.

Are others seeing the same thing or is this just my phone?   How long can you have the PPP off charger and still receive a call?  What if you go out with 70% battery, 50% battery?

Hate doing this - but have had no response from shipping in 26 days on an order placed in October outside a message saying that this is Hong Kong's problem.

Anyone know how to get a response from these folks?

Hello People,

I have just noticed a missing feature on the pine phone: a hotspot. My pine phone has UB Ports on it and so does my BQ 4.5 original Ubuntu phone. My original phone does have a hotspot in the software but the pine phone doesn't. Can anybody tell me why?

I've a little problem with the values returned by _some_ keys from the top row, only when used with the 'Fn' key.

For example Fn-1 does not return the pipe character '|' but '\';  '~' returns 'back tick' and '+' returns '='.

A firmware problem or  kernel's driver one ?

Hi All

I am making progress with the reliability of the pp, and as of about a week ago I am able to leave Wifi On and even waydroid running.

Without waydroid running the battery lasts all day.
Once I start waydroid, the phone gets woken up at intervals and of course uses battery power whilst lighting up the screen.

I have asked this question on other forums, but did not get a response.

Is there a solution to the phone waking up repeatedly ?
I know it is waydroid, as stopping the container eliminates the problem.

Strangely after all I have gone through to get Qr code registration running through Waydroid, Australia is now dropping the requirement to log in.

Regards

PPKB seems like it may not withstand as many impacts as a phone may be subject to. Anyone find some sort of rubberized skin that might provide some additional protection? A case for a case, I know, but it seems like the keyboard case could use some extra protection.

I left phone on wall charger connection for maybe 24 hours.  Now it will not boot or even turn the lights on to try to boot.  I am running phosh-manjaro from sd card.  System has been updated several times using pacman. 

I removed battery several times.  I removed sd card and reinstalled sd.  I pushed RE button and then tried boot with no indication of anything happening.

Only life is small blue light near top of screen that can only be seen after aligning phone to view it.

Any tricks???   My earlier pinephone was more reliable than the PPP, I hate to say.

Hello,



I'm building a NAS setup with this:

• NAS case
  
• RockPro 64 with 4 Gb RAM
  
• Axagon PCES-SA2N PCIe => 2 internal SATA III adapter (I didn't took the one from pine store following wiki advice)
  
• 2 Western Digital 6TB "WD Blue" 3.5" hard drives, that I plan to mirror with RAID 1
  
• SATA and power cables from NAS case
  
• tall profile heatsink
  
• 80 mm fan
  
• a 12V/5A power (from pine store)
  
• WIFI/BT module
  
• trying Armbian bullseye, I'm mainly willing to run OpenMedia Vault, and if possible some graphical software (like Kodi)
  

Hey guys who is using sxmo on the ppp and from what district? Happy with the experience?

Does anyone know if this way of connecting a PinePhone, while in a keyboard case, to a USB-C docking bar (convergence package) is 100% safe?
