Looking for ideas on how to diagnose that I can make and receive phonecalls, use mobile data, but I can only send SMSs.
I could run the SMS in terminal and see if it is throwing an error when it receives a SMS, anyone know the name?

It has finally happened, soon we will be able to play a few hours of multimedia without using up our whole battery.

and now in a GTK app called CLapper, hope it makes it into the repos soon as well as either in a hardware abstraction layer for the OS or as a build target for the big video players like Totem, VLC, and Kodi.

I observe it is fascinating that there is a pinebook 64 to buy however am imagining that it would be great to have a better quality arm based Pine Mini based freely as something almost identical to a macintosh small scale or a Nuc PC as a task smaller than normal work area. The overall thought would be a usable smaller than expected arm PC of numerous uses suck as a Media box, enormous screen television web surfer, programming advancement gadget and different choices, for example, a media place. So not exactly a pc work area however way further developed than an arm media focus and usable as a PC for say Arch Linux for pine arm advancement with a very good quality arm framework with a fresher arm processor as they are cutting to the chase to be cutthroat with a X86 framework.

I am having issues with adding my Google account to Plasma mobile. I have tried different versions of Plasma (Manjaro, Arch, etc), and I keep getting the same problem.

When I add my account under the 'Online Accounts' tab under settings, I am able to successfully load up my Google account but it doesn't import my contacts so my contacts list for my calls and emails is blank. The only item it is showing up under account details that is being synced is YouTube.

Anyone know how I can resolve this issue? Is this specific only to the PPP or are other Plasma users experiencing this problem as well?

I've been using my PPP for a few weeks now and have not been able to get mobile data to work consistently. Actually, it's randomly worked at most four times for about 5min each time. I'm using Mobian, which I recently moved to the eMMC along with installing tow-boot to the SPI flash. I replace the sim card with a new sim card (both t-mobile). Mobile data worked fine using the old sim card in my beta PP and in a Samsung tablet, but did not work in my PPP. However, it was heavily scratched, so I got a new one to use in the PPP, hoping that it might help. So far the new sim has not made a difference.

Phone calls work well, as does text messaging. I read in a wiki that providing the carrier's APN was required in order to have mobile data working. For T-Mobile that is: Fast.t-mobile.com. I configured that using the Settings app under Mobile Network/Access Point Names. At this point I noted a difference between the PP and the PPP. When I edited an APN, the Settings app created a new "Broadband/mobilenet" APN. It does this every time I edit an APN. So now six APNs are listed, one of which is the T-Mobile APN (which is selected) and five of which are "Broadband/mobilenet" APNs . I would like to remove the other APN entries, but there is no provision for this in the UI. Does someone know of another way?

I also configured the SMS and MMS in Chatty.

I've spoken at length with t-mobile representatives. While they try to be helpful and understanding, they are not knowledgeable regarding non-supported phones and can only provide help via check lists that they are given. In addition, because the old sim works in my PP,  it's very unlikely that it is a carrier issue.

If anyone else has had this issue or heard of it happening with other PPPs I'd appreciate any information that you can pass along. The PPP is a major performance improvement over the PP, yet if I can't get the mobile data working the performance improvements become unimportant. Mobile date is a core feature for me.

I did some upgrades yesterday and I noticed some webkit packges being upgraded, however after that, epiphany opens but I can't open any website.

Hi all,

I'm facing two kind of problem trying to create a Xen guest domain on pine64.

I have successfully built uboot, xen (4.14.4) and dom0 linux kernel with xen tool stack, these two last starting from buildroot (with linux kernel version 5.15.33 and xen toolstack version 4.14.4)

These are the process of Xen:
177 root    /usr/sbin/xenwatchdogd 30 15
203 root    /usr/sbin/xenstored --pid-file /var/run/xen/xenstored.pid
208 root    /usr/sbin/xenconsoled --pid-file=/var/run/xen/xenconsoled.pid
214 root    /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386 -xen-domid 0 -xen-attach -name dom0 -nographic -M xenpv -daemonize -monitor /dev/null -serial/dev/nul -parallel/dev/null -pidfile/var/run/xen/qemu-dom0.pid


and the driver loaded as a module:
# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Tainted: G 
xen_netback            65536  0
xen_blkback            49152  0


Xen and dom0 Image boot up successfully, at the end:
================================================

# uname -a

================================================

when I try to create a domU domain I have problem with disk backend, I have made several attempts trying with different domU linux and I always get the following error :

================================================
Parsing config from ./alpine_xen_domu.config
libxl: error: libxl_aoutils.c:539:async_exec_timeout: killing execution of /etc/xen/scripts/block add because of timeout

The last try was with alpine domU linux with the following config:
================================================

ramdisk = "/home/xen/initramfs-virt"

thanks a lot in advance

Hello,

when I listen to music over the speaker, the phone gets hot and the battery drains rapidly. If I plug in my headset, it cools down and the battery stops draining that quickly.
So listening to music is hardly possible without head set now.

Lately, I hear some quiet buzzing sounds, while charging, but not always and they're not regularly. Since that started, the speaker also oversteers/overdrives a bit (not just while charging, always, like it's broken).

As I said, this only started lately. Everything was fine, a week or so ago.

Might that be hardware related or do you have any clue what I could do about this?

Phone Info:
Mobian CE Edition
Debian 11.3
GNOME 3.85.5

Thank you in advance

SIM cards are inherently bad in terms of security and privacy to use with PinePhone, take this as an example:
https://simjacker.com/
https://www.srlabs.de/bites/new-sim-attacks

But I still want (and NEED) to use a SIM card, so I would like to know if PinePhone disables binary SMS by default or if there is any option for the user to do this. I think the best solution would be to simply block binary messages completely.

Does opensuse tumbleweed run on the pro?
