  Lost my second display
Posted by: WEF - 06-01-2022, 12:35 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (5)

Hi,
Just updated (Shipped Manjaro, Firefox, etc.) and now my second display is not seen in display configuration and does not work anymore. It was working and had been for months. Set up is through the pbp docking station. Was working with HDMI (except no sound), now does not work through HDMI or serial cable. Anyone know how i can get this working again? Display configuration settings are totally greyed out as if there is only a laptop screen.

Like i said this was working literally 15 minutes ago before i did the update (that came out on 5/31/2022 i believe).
I have rebooted and plugged and unplugged and any simple things i could think of.

Thanks in advance for any ideas-


  New keyboard issue
Posted by: sandspur - 06-01-2022, 04:04 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (30)

After an update using the graphical application with Mobian my mechanical keyboard does not work. The on-screen keyboard does work, however.

One of the updated files had something to do with the keyboard.

If anyone has experienced the same problem and can offer a suggested fix please do so.

  3.5mm jack audio quality?
Posted by: orbital - 05-31-2022, 08:45 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Hi folks,
How is the audio quality that you get via the 3.5mm jack?
Thanks.


  Troubleshooting and Understanding MMS
Posted by: epiii2 - 05-31-2022, 07:44 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (74)

I'm trying to figure out what my options might be for handling incoming MMS messages, with the understanding that they're not really supported by most software at the moment but there are some workarounds in use (like jmms for example). When I try out some test messages I can see the encoded data arrive via SMS and I can extract it to a file, but I'm stuck trying to make use of it because it doesn't seem to be formatted like other examples I see online. Does anyone have any experience they can share?

For example, here's what I see for a few MMS messages I sent myself the other day:

Code:
$ mmcli --messaging-list-sms -m 4
    /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/2 (received)
    /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/1 (received)
$ mmcli --messaging-list-sms -m 4 -s 2
  ----------------------------
  General    |          path: /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/2
  ----------------------------
  Content    |        number: XXXXXXXXXX
            |          data: 000603BEAF848C82983046303633443133454142373030303032413630303030313031008D908A808E0278008805810306977F83687474703A2F2F36332E35352E312E38372F736572766C6574732F6D6D733F6D6573736167652D69643D00891680XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX2F545950453D504C4D4E00
  ----------------------------
  Properties |      pdu type: cdma-deliver
            |          state: received
            | teleservice id: wap

(Just with the sender and receiver number Xd out.) And I can also dump that data chunk to a file like so and get the binary for that hexadecimal glob:

Code:
mmcli -m 4 -s 2 --create-file-with-data message.sms

...but in any case the contents of the binary don't seem formatted the way tools like jmms expect. For example doing a hexdump on another test message:


Code:
00000000  00 06 03 be af 84 8c 82  98 30 35 30 36 33 44 35  |.........05063D5|
00000010  37 42 45 35 33 30 30 30  30 37 34 35 30 30 30 30  |7BE5300007450000|
00000020  31 30 31 00 8d 90 8a 80  8e 02 78 00 88 05 81 03  |101.......x.....|
00000030  06 97 7f 83 68 74 74 70  3a 2f 2f 36 39 2e 37 38  |....http://69.78|
00000040  2e 38 38 2e 31 30 32 2f  73 65 72 76 6c 65 74 73  |.88.102/servlets|
00000050  2f 6d 6d 73 3f 6d 65 73  73 61 67 65 2d 69 64 3d  |/mms?message-id=|
00000060  00 89 16 80 XX XX XX XX  XX XX XX XX XX XX 2f 54  |....XXXXXXXXXX/T|
00000070  59 50 45 3d 50 4c 4d 4e  00                       |YPE=PLMN.|
00000079

So... what is this weird format? The main thing I see is that URL pointing to a Verizon server where I can hypothetically get the contents of the MMS (I think?) but I don't know what these other mostly-binary chunks are, aside from the sender's phone number and /TYPE=PLMN. The Verizon server never seems to respond to me no matter what I send (via wwan0, too, as I've read about elsewhere) but maybe I don't know what I'm supposed to give for the message ID. Any tips?


  PPKB with phone; phone dies while charging
Posted by: SwordfishII - 05-31-2022, 06:47 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (1)

Hoping someone can help me out.

Running Arch, on my pinephone in the keyboard case. The keyboard case works fine, even got the top row symbols working.

 I did megi's echo 1500000 > /sys/class/power_supply/axp20x-usb/input_current_limit 

Problem is after using it, I plug it into a charger and the next morning the phone is dead. I have tried 5 different chargers including dumb 2.4a. This has occurred on every distro I have tried (all of them except manjaro).

Any ideas?

Edit: I should add that when not on ac power the keyboard charges the phone just fine, so it doesn't seems to be the pogo pins


Wink Instructions to change the IMEI
Posted by: kwdevel - 05-31-2022, 12:54 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - No Replies

The other thread was closed before I had a chance to respond, so I'm just going to leave this here instead.
This works on the PinePhone Pro (Explorer). I have not tested on other devices. This works on the Quectel EG25-G modem.

FYI, I'm using Mobian, so you have to stop the modem-manager first or it will cause a conflict with minicom (terminal suddenly stops responding).
This feature is NOT documented in the PDF from Quectel, but it still works.

In a console:

Code:
systemctl stop ModemManager.service

Now you can run minicom without it hanging.
Code:
minicom -b 115200 -D /dev/ttyUSB2

Inside minicom, to get your current IMEI:
Code:
AT+CGSN
860195057712345

To change your IMEI:
Code:
AT+EGMR=1,7,"860195057754321"
OK

You can confirm it changed by running:
Code:
AT+CGSN
860195057754321

That's it.


  My Pine doesn't allow me to install to eMMC on different OS's
Posted by: Kimberley van Buyten - 05-31-2022, 07:31 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Tried several different ways to install Sailfish. But no matter how I try, when writing to eMMC memory it seems that nothing happens and then I get all kinds of errors:

  • ls: cannot access 'mmcblk2': No such file or directory
  • Error: The location 256MB is outside of the device /home/adm1n/Downloads/mmcblk2.
  • Error: The location 256MB is outside of the device /home/adm1n/Downloads/mmcblk2.
  • Error: The location 6250MB is outside of the device /home/adm1n/Downloads/mmcblk2.
  • The file mmcblk2 does not exist and no size was specified.
  • mke2fs 1.46.2 (28-Feb-2021)
  • The file mmcblk2 does not exist and no size was specified.
  • mke2fs 1.46.2 (28-Feb-2021)
  • The file mmcblk2 does not exist and no size was specified.
  • mount: /home/adm1n/Downloads/root: special device mmcblk2 does not exist.
  • mount: /home/adm1n/Downloads/boot: special device mmcblk2 does not exist.

Is it that I don't have the correct permissions? Which I would find strange, because I have really tried all kinds of ways. I used external terminal, I used Jumpdrive and I used terminal from the phone himself. Whatever I do, at the question Which SD card do you want to flash? nothing seems to work anymore

Could it be that I have a Pine 1.0? Have no idea what the differences are between 1.0 and 1.1.

What also struck me is that when I install Manjaro, for example, I cannot install 1 app from the store. For example 'Signal':
First the easy way, install Manjaro, configure it and go to Discover and search for Signal. Once clicked on it, immediately the first error:
signal-desktop;5.43.0-1;aarch64;community: could not find or read package

I ignore that and I press the install button and after a few seconds I get the next error:
Package download failed

There must be something wrong with the writing or things like that. Or do I miss something? Could I hard reset my Pine?


  Update the PinePhone keyboard driver to support missing characters?
Posted by: Peter Gamma - 05-31-2022, 02:35 AM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (8)

The goal is to run LibreOffice in Posh on the PinePhone. It can be run by typing:

OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome-wayland libreoffice

into to terminal. The GUI cannot be started, the LibreOffice installation prevents the start.

I have the PinePhone keyboard connected to the PinePhone, which works also for the terminal. I tried to type:

OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=gnome-wayland libreoffice

Unfortunately, I cannot print a «_» with the PinePhone keyboard. The characters are on the PinePhone keyboard, but neither control, Fn, Alt, AltG nor the special Pine key works to get the characters to be printed in the terminal.

How can I modify the PinePhone keyboard driver to support the missing characters?

After installing the last Dev image on a SD and after entering the PIN this is the error I get. Does sny body know what does this file do? After closing the  window, the normal desktop appears on the screen and I can keep on going but cannot understand the error and it's conscuences

You cannot report this error, because baloo_file does not provide a bug reporting address
