  White Listed ?
Posted by: bcnaz - 04-07-2022, 04:58 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (4)

What can we do to get the Pine phones recognized as a "White Listed Device"  ?

* Pure Talk recently stopped their data services on my test lines,   <Customer service implied it was "AT&T requirement". >
>>  their data had been working pretty good.

* AT&T PrePaid is my long term main number, their talk/text works perfect, but their data has been crap,
 >> Since 2 smart phones Before my first Pine phone.

     Huh

Can Pine64 apply for a listing ?


Question [question] how to restore PineTime to a factory state after flashing non-OTA/directly
Posted by: ITCactus - 04-07-2022, 04:58 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (2)

what is the proper way to restore the PineTime state after flashing it using SWD flasher?  Huh

i noticed, that while flashing a pinetime-app (e.g. "pinetime-app-1.9.0.hex" or "bin" one) leads to the state where the InfiniTime works, 
but the PineTime can't reboots or be updated with OTA package with companion app: the OTA-update is transferring OK, InfiniTime dsplays "Image OK", but no reboot and installation happens.



from my understanding, flashing "pinetime-app" also erases the whole memory, and also the bootloader: on InfiniTime "About" screen it looks like "Bootloader 0.0.0".

however, flashing the InfiniTime 1.0.0 bootloader "reloader-mcuboot.zip" from this wiki page does nothing to make the PineTime work at all - just a black screen.
probably that one is supposed to be used only as an OTA update...

the only way to restore the device i found, looks really overcomplicated, and not sure if it's intended way.
so, steps that worked for me:

1) using SWD flasher, flash the "bootloader.hex"
from https://github.com/InfiniTimeOrg/pinetim...es/tag/RC1

2) wait for an old InfiniTime "triangular" boot loader

3) using Singlo on linux flash "pinetime-mcuboot-recovery-loader-dfu-0.14.1.zip" from this wiki page
for me neither Gadgetbridge nor nRF Connect were able to transfer the OTA image till the end.  

4) wait for several reboots...

5) using Singlo flash "pinetime-mcuboot-app-dfu-0.14.1.zip"

6) using Singlo or another app flash the latest "pinetime-mcuboot-app-dfu"

7) flash the latest bootloader "reloader-mcuboot.zip" from this wiki page
also, there is the page with bootloaders releases.

8) wait for several reboots...

9) check the "About" for "Bootloader 1.0.0" info




so, what's the proper/easy way to do that? 
how it's done on factory? by flashing with a single file?


Question Running AnBox on Manjaro ARM w/ Phosh?
Posted by: danimations - 04-06-2022, 11:38 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (2)

I'm currently trying to install Snaps, with the objective of installing AnBox so that I can run a couple of Android apps on my Pinephone. I'm running Manjaro ARM w/ Phosh.

I'm keen to read about other users' experiences installing snaps and AnBox and any issues arising with apps used thereafter. I've hit an impasse installing Snaps, as I've just posted in another thread.

Thanks in advance.  Big Grin


Question Help installing Snaps on Pinephone running Manjaro ARM w/ Phosh
Posted by: danimations - 04-06-2022, 11:32 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (2)

I'm trying to install Snaps on my Pinephone running Manjaro ARM w/ Phosh, following the official installation directions for Arch Linux, here: https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snap-on-arch-linux

I've hit an impasse, with the message "Pacman is currently in use, please wait." repeating on the terminal screen.

The last command I entered was...

Code:
makepkg -si


Is there a way I can see if Pacman is running in the background and close it?

Thanks in advance.


  PineTime Touch Screen Stopped Working
Posted by: BlunderingBushcraft - 04-06-2022, 05:41 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (3)

Hello All,
I am running InfiniTime
FW 1.8.0
HW 1.0.0
all had been going well with the watch since I got it until today when the touch screen stopped working. I have been running 1.8.0 since Feb 21. I have tried rebooting by holding the power button, I tried installing the 1.9.0 version on InfiniTime hoping that would reset things but the touch screen still is not working. The power button still works and I can still connect it to Gadgetbridge.  It is a sealed watch so I have no access to the internals.  My current plan is to let the battery die and see if that will reset anything.  Please let me know if you have any recommendations and I will post again if anything changes.


  Powerbank capacity required for a Ubports PinePhone as a daily driver?
Posted by: Peter Gamma - 04-06-2022, 02:33 PM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (1)

Used 24 *7, mainly for writing, no phonecalls, 3g, wifi. Or is it better to switch to #phosh for this purpose?


  Lost password on second hand Ubports PinePhone?
Posted by: Peter Gamma - 04-06-2022, 11:03 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (6)

I bought a second hand Ubports PinePhone. When I boot the phone, it asks me for the password. The seller told me, I had to reinstall Ubports to solve this problem. Is there no other option to solve this problem?


  Extremely Dim Screen on PPP
Posted by: jimbobopin - 04-06-2022, 10:13 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (1)

I let my PPP battery die completely, and then after I charged it from dead with the RE button the screen was extremely dim. I couldn't even unlock the phone because I couldn't see the on-screen keyboard clearly. I powered it off and put in a micro sd with Mobian on it in and booted it up again and I am pretty sure it turns on, but now the screen is completely black, even when I boot from the emmc. What should I do?


  802.11ac?
Posted by: auxym - 04-06-2022, 08:45 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE H64 - Replies (1)

The product page for the H64 mentions "802.11ac" wifi. However, the datasheet for RTL8723BS found in the wiki only mentions b/g/n and 2.4 ghz only.

So, which is right? Does the H64 support 5 Ghz and 802.11ac?


  Could an arm based pine 64 smaller than normal to go with the pinebook
Posted by: zanewiller - 04-06-2022, 01:30 AM - Forum: General - Replies (1)

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