  New user. Very excited as this is my first linux phone...have a few questions
Posted by: 98cwitr - 05-20-2022, 07:34 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (4)

New PinePhone Pro arrived today, popped my Verizon SIM in and viola...worked like a champ. Tested SMS and phone calls with the wife, and all that worked. MMS isn't working, but I think the docs I read prepared me to expect that (if there is a workaround, I'm all ears).

Sadly, I can't find any audio files preloaded for things like ringtones or wakeup alarms, so I'm trying to drop some music onto it. Using Ubuntu Desktop and not sure how to mount the phone (connected usb->usb-c). How can I mount the phone to transfer files?

Also, what's the camera app? I don't see a way to take pics. Thanks for all the community is doing! Looking forward to learning a lot and getting my feet wet.


  Cannot find "-" on the pinephone keyboard
Posted by: gilwood - 05-20-2022, 11:40 AM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (3)

I have tried all the left Shift + Fn + all the F1-F10 keys and cannot find a "-". The use of F5 or F6 produce the "~". The use of F7 or F9 produce the "_". The use of the F8 or F10 produce the "+". Finally, the use of F1 or F2 produce the "|". Everything else on the keyboard appears to work as well as the charging and disconnect of my pinephone from charging using the keyboard battery. Am I overlooking something and why is there redundancy in some of the symbols produced using the F keys? Any help is appreciated. Thanks


  PPP as daily device
Posted by: Chief - 05-20-2022, 06:22 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (5)

I have made the move to PPP as a daily device. It works well and the only issues at this time are battery consumption and the device microphone is crappy. Easily overcome by always having my small headset attached and sound is fine. Since camera's dont operate (software?) I shut the switches off and I also turn off Bluetooth to conserve power. Although I have tow-boot installed to spi there is still an issue with device sleeping and not waking up regardless of power settings.
Edit:
Calls still dont work properly because of sound issues.


Photo GNOME Display Orientation
Posted by: Unregistered Guest - 05-20-2022, 06:09 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - No Replies

I recently installed Arch with GNOME 42 on my PinePhone and it's been working quite well for me, the only issue I've had is that it can't rotate into landscape mode via the Settings application.

I'd like to switch to landscape so that I can use GNOME with the keyboard attachment; is there some way to do this manually?

Thanks!


  Jami-qt does not run
Posted by: AndyM - 05-20-2022, 03:51 AM - Forum: Arch Linux on PinePhone - No Replies

The error message is 

Code:
jami-qt: error while loading shared libraries: libQt6WebEngineCore.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libQt6WebEngineCore.so.6 should be included in qt6-webengine which is already installed so clearly I am missing something.

Can someone point me in the right direction please?

  Ubuntu Touch vs Standard Pinephone OS
Posted by: MarsColonist - 05-19-2022, 02:05 PM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (8)

Which is better to have on there right now? Which is most polished etc?

Tried to open the app recently on my Pinephone to get apps... called discover or something iirc, and it crashed the program every time I tried to start.  I don't think I've updated the phone yet though (at least not manually), so maybe that's why.  But I don't know how either (new user here).


  Phone Dead Already?
Posted by: MarsColonist - 05-19-2022, 01:55 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (4)

I had the phone charged to a large degree, then got occupied with some other things in life.  Came back several days later to use it... and it wouldn't turn on. 

While this seemed odd since I thought I had a decent charge on it... I plugged it into the charger with the red charging cable it came with. 

With my Apple phone, seems like I would get some kind of indicator on-screen within a few minutes that the phone had started charging, and I would soon be able to power it on.  However, with the PinePhone Pro Explorer edition... I can't seem to get any such indication it is charging, and it certainly does not power on even though it's been charging there for... idk 10 or 20 minutes I would guess?

What could be the problem here?

Just got the phone like within the last few weeks and haven't used it that much.

EDIT: Is the Pinephone Pro hardware so low quality my phone died after like... a week of usage? Unbelievable.


  PPPro Stock?
Posted by: spicymeatball - 05-19-2022, 01:04 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (5)

Hello, sorry if this has already been discussed but I could not find anything on here or the official sub reddit regarding stock. I was just curious if there is any public info on the stock or restocking pace of the Pro. I have been watching the store for about a week and am just curious if there is any info on when the pro will be back in stock.

Thanks!
