  Danger icon on mobile network
Posted by: avodá - 05-01-2022, 11:54 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (6)

Hi there everyone,



I'm running Phosh Manjaro ARM and I have a persistent orange danger sign in my mobile network. The icon has 4 vertical bars of increasing height. The tallest one is grey and the others are white. Then there is an orange square on the foreground with a black exclamation mark inside.





What does this mean and how should I fix this?






Thanks a lot to this beautiful community!

  Screen keyboard Japanese input issue
Posted by: Yst - 04-30-2022, 08:07 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (1)

Plasma Mobile

I cannot input some Hiragana. (お こ そ ...etc.)
The Japanese keyboard requires the fingers to move downward, that hides the keyboard.

Can I disable it?

日本語入力では下方向へのフリック動作が必要ですが、キーボードが隠れる動作と同じになっています。下方向への移動でキーボードを閉じないようにできますか?


  PinePhone Keyboard shipping costs appropriate?
Posted by: Peter Gamma - 04-30-2022, 06:26 AM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (3)

Shipping time of the PinePhone keyboard: 3 days from order confirmation to arrival in Switzerland. I think that is what one expect for a luxury shipping with shipping costs of 30 USD for a 50 USD keybard.

But I could wait one month for a shipping method of the PinePhone keyboard with a balanced ratio of product costs to shipping costs without any problems.


  Pinephone refusing to charge while suspended
Posted by: tiol - 04-29-2022, 01:47 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (1)

Hi,today I found out my Pinephone is not charging while in suspension.

Now I am looking into the schematic and I find this intentional: U601 boost converter's enable pin is driven by the V17 pin on the A64 SoC, through R611 resistance.

Is there any specific reason for this? I mean, is battery charging something that needs to be monitored by the software? In my mind, battery charging can be done just with HW, that I do not see the point of this limitation...

Thank you


  Updating sensors notification
Posted by: kbm - 04-29-2022, 10:57 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (2)

After ignoring my PineWatch for many months finally got it updated and running. Took me awhile to figure out how to keep it always connected via BLE, but now everything is working well.

At the moment it's nice just having the time and notifications. But I keep getting this extra notification that is turning out to be a bit annoying

'Updating sensors' comes up and scrolls across the top of the watch. But what is mostly annoying is the small vibration which makes me think there is a valid notification on the phone (and this keeps happening at night while sleeping)

Is there any way to turn that off, but keep getting all the other notifications from the phone?


  "Emergency" terminal on pinephone (with default setup)
Posted by: altulke - 04-29-2022, 10:32 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (5)

Hello.

I don't have a pinephone for now, but plan to buy one. I have a question about the default setup (or about what can be configured easily).

On desktop linux, if the system works badly, there is an option to get an "emergency" terminal, which does not depend on the graphical X system, by pressing ctrl-alt-f1 or something similar. (Well, if the things go too badly, the computer will not respond to ctrl-alt-f1 either, but often this works.)

Is there such an option on pinephone with the default OS? Do I need an external keyboard for that?


  Unable to boot Armbian on new RockPro64
Posted by: mooseball - 04-29-2022, 04:50 AM - Forum: General Discussion on ROCKPRO64 - Replies (5)

I'm new to Pine64 things.

I have new a RockPro64 4GB.

I flashed the appropriate Armbian using dd to my SD Card, I place it in the RockPro64, add HDMI monitor and power (using a non-official 5volts, 3A output supply), and the device doesn't boot.

U-Boot starts running, but we never make it to the actual booting process.

It hangs at:

"## Flattened Device Tree blob at 01f00000
Booting using the fdt blob at 0x1f00000".

I searched that message online and the only thing I found was a long since squashed bug.

At the very beginning of the boot process it says: "Warning - bad CRC, using default environment".

I tried to use the pine64-installer from github, but it won run for me, and there are multiple issues in the repo saying the same for other users.

The SD Card is not new, I used it for a year or so in an RPi with no problems.

Any pointers appreciated.

PS: i can't work out how to search on this forum, so I haven't searched for my issue here. Apols if it has already come up. I did look through the first boot threads though.


  What PD charger/dock combo results in PP battery not draining while using convergence
Posted by: james8880 - 04-28-2022, 12:45 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - No Replies

Hello,

I could not find an already existing thread and so I am writing this one.

My set-up results in the battery slowly draining until no charge and I am forced to end my session with convergence because the phone shuts down when all of the power in the battery is gone (of course ) Smile.

I am using:

  • HDMI cable to monitor
  • 5.17.2-1-danctrix - April 10 build

Seems to me that the Anker is not passing enough power through to the PP in order for it to charge up the battery.  Perhaps there exists a dock that is more efficient and does pass enough power to the Pinephone.  The PinePower connected directly to the PP does charge the PP battery up very well, as expected.

Is there a combination of PD and dock that will result in the PP battery charging up while it is docked with HDMI output?
I am aware that there may be software issues involved as well.  I think that the software performs negotiation with the PD to set the phones level of power draw from the PD.
Perhaps that software does not "know" how to negotiate power levels from the Ankler dock but it does know how to do that with the PinePower. idk

Thank you for your time and knowledge,

James
