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

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.

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?

baloo_file

Posted by: Emilio - 05-31-2022, 12:59 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - No Replies

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

We are sorry,baloo_file closed unexpectedly

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

Details:
Executable:baloo_file PID:3,810 Signal:Aborted(6)
Time:5/31/22 8:47 AM

Baloo is the file indexing and file search framework for KDE Plasma, with a focus on providing a very small memory footprint along with with extremely fast searching.

RockPro64 has no white led, nor will it boot past...

Posted by: AnjinMeili - 05-30-2022, 05:38 PM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (2)

I have tried endless OS images, on both SD cards and eMMC, and am simply frustrated.

When I fire up a Debian buster image, it boots to the installer, gets all the way to the end, and then... Dies when it attempt to boot into the os for the first time.

The Armbian and ayufan images get to 'Flattened Device Tree blob at 01f00000' and 'Booting using the fat blob at 0x1f00000' and hangs.

There is no white LED at all as well.

Seems so strange as it grinds though so much doing the installer for Debian Bullseye.

Hoping this is just my own stupidity, and I am missing something obvious.

Thanks for the advice and guidance.

Cheers
Anjin

Mute function on calls?

Posted by: scrwbigtek - 05-30-2022, 12:52 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

Hello All,

Will try again here.

Do any of the Pinephone releases have the mute mic function working?

If not any idea when?

So far I have tried Manjaro Posh. and KDE with no luck. I am off to Mobian next
Really did not have to run down the entire list of every release.

I see various release charts with features that work or do not work in various places.
Is there one official go to place for this with status listed?

I also saw "we have Pulse Audio to thank for this".
Are there any known verified workarounds?

thanks!
sbt

Update (well Mobian did not go well, not trying that again, almost bricked my phone).

Second USB3 port as OTG

Posted by: softsr - 05-30-2022, 07:29 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (1)

Hello everyone!

According Wiki the USB3 Port on RockPro64 could be used as an OTG port.

I'm using Type C port for OTG device pretty succesfully, however there is a demand on having two OTG Ports simultaneously.

Till now I've managed to switch USB3 port into OTG mode with editing device tree over dtedit command where following string was set from "host" to "otg":

Code:
dr_mode = "otg";

Code:
usb1 {

        compatible = "rockchip,rk3399-dwc3";

        clocks = <0x8 0x82 0x8 0x84 0x8 0xf7 0x8 0xf9>;

        clock-names = "ref_clk", "suspend_clk", "bus_clk", "grf_clk";

        power-domains = <0x15 0x18>;

        resets = <0x8 0x126>;

        reset-names = "usb3-otg";

        #address-cells = <0x2>;

        #size-cells = <0x2>;

        ranges;

        status = "okay";

        phandle = <0xf1>;

        dwc3@fe900000 {

            compatible = "snps,dwc3";

            reg = <0x0 0xfe900000 0x0 0x100000>;

            interrupts = <0x0 0x6e 0x4 0x0>;

            dr_mode = "otg";

            phys = <0x2b 0x2c>;

            phy-names = "usb2-phy", "usb3-phy";

            phy_type = "utmi_wide";

            snps,dis_enblslpm_quirk;

            snps,dis-u2-freeclk-exists-quirk;

            snps,dis_u2_susphy_quirk;

            snps,dis-del-phy-power-chg-quirk;

            snps,tx-ipgap-linecheck-dis-quirk;

            snps,xhci-slow-suspend-quirk;

            snps,xhci-trb-ent-quirk;

            snps,usb3-warm-reset-on-resume-quirk;

            status = "okay";

            phandle = <0xf2>;

        };

    };

After that I can see the second device under /sys/class/udc:

Code:
rock64@rockpro64:~$ ls /sys/class/udc

fe800000.dwc3  fe900000.dwc3

However the second USB3 device (fe900000.dwc) doesn't work same as Type C port, no device appears there at all (I'm setting it as a mass storage).

So my question is:
is it generally a good idea to use two USB3 ports as OTG devices simultaneously?
If so, what could lack in setting it up?

LibreOffice Fix for tiny menu text and missing title bar

Posted by: grump_fiddle_reinstall - 05-29-2022, 11:56 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

	I installed LibreOffice and found the the menu font was tiny and the title bar was missing. These issues combined made the menus well-nigh impossible to use. Installing libreoffice-gtk3 fixed both of these problems making the menus usable even with screen scaling set at 100%.
