  NAS case HDD power cable failure (buck failure)
Posted by: ashleymills - 03-31-2022, 11:42 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (1)

This is a heads up really.

I noticed my drives were spinning up for no reason over the past week, on investigating the problem I found that one of the drives wasn't responding to commands and was marked as damaged in the ZFS pool. I thought it was the drive. After getting a replacement, the replacement drive didn't show up. Odd. After some messing about I tried the power cable from HDD0 and HDD1 then span up.

So the culprit in this case was the twin SATA power adapter that comes from the board, on each path it has something like an MP1584EN encased in heatshrink which converts the 12V to 5V for one of the SATA pins. Upon inspection this was outputting 3V.

I've ordered a replacement buck, hopefully one that has a bit more longevity.

So if you think a drive has failed on your NAS case, might want to check that first.

Question Does anyone know what's coming in Infinitime 1.9.0?
Posted by: danimations - 03-31-2022, 01:05 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (3)

I'm really impressed with the improvements made between Infinitime 1.6 and 1.8. The latter was published in early January 2022. I figure we're about due for another update. Does anyone know what new features or enhancements we can expect? I thought about asking via Github/Infinitime, but "enthusiasm" isn't really an "Issue".  Tongue 

I've made a few feature/enhancement requests myself, so I'm hoping to see some implemented down the track. The storing of files/data to the 4mb external storage will enable many exciting new possibilities, and I see that progress is being made on that front.


  Severe screen flicker + occasional ghosting | Pinephone Beta edition
Posted by: legowave440 - 03-30-2022, 08:49 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (5)

Hello all,

I wanted to reach out and see if there is a known solution to my issue.  I have the Pinephone Beta edition, purchased during the summer of 2020.  Since near the beginning, at random intervals, the screen would severely flicker whenever the backlight is >30% or so.  This happens at random intervals regardless of battery or charging status.  I have also noticed occasional ghosting on the display that persists after reboot.  I've reseated the display connector to no avail.

My distro is stock Postmarket, although I suspect this to be a hardware problem (perhaps with the display controller?)

Has anyone else experienced or resolved this issue?


  Can't find pinephone pro camera in terminal
Posted by: TheRealThor - 03-30-2022, 08:07 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Hardware - Replies (15)

Hello everyone,
I recently got my pinephone pro and have had fun trying the different os's available and I've setteled with latest modian posh, I found that in every os that everything is working but the camera isn't working. I checked the dip switches and even turned it on and off, then I started to look in terminal using the sudo lshw command and I can see everything else but the camera or their title OV5640. Am I doing something wrong or do I have hardware issue, I have been looking through the forum but can't find anyone with the same issue.
Any suggestion would be greate


  User login change
Posted by: usagi - 03-30-2022, 03:24 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (11)

Hey, Is it possible to logout out as mobian and login as a different user? For example on boot?
I like create a user that has controll of ex. keepassxc but one other user can access it. Similiar to what
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Simple_sandbox does.


  PinePhone Pro support for AT&T 4G
Posted by: realrichardsharpe@gmail.com - 03-30-2022, 12:21 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (1)

Having just disposed of a couple of phones that only really supported 3G as far as AT&T were concerned (did not support B17, it seems) my question is:

Does the PinePhone Pro really support AT&T?

This seems to be the list of bands it supports for G4:

  • LTE-FDD: B1/ B2/ B3/ B4/ B5/ B7/ B8/ B12/ B13/ B18/ B19/ B20/ B25/ B26/ B28


That does not include B17 which AT&T seems to be sensitive about.

Has anyone tried to connect a PinePhone Pro to AT&T?


  Pine Wifi Module
Posted by: williamdieter - 03-30-2022, 10:16 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

Has anyone gotten the Wifi module working?

https://pine64.com/product/rockpro64-1x1...-0-module/

"Based on Azurewave AW-CM256SM Combo Module and made specifically for the ROCKPro64 SBC"

I'm not a linux expert, and have never made packages to install drivers before so any kind of tutorial would be great. 


  Any way to get Pinephone Pro Dev edition still?
Posted by: Viengi28 - 03-30-2022, 09:09 AM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (1)

Hello everyone,

I'm a software dev currently specializing in blockchain technology. I wanted to ask if there's still a way to get the Pinephone pro developer edition. I see according to the website sales for the enhanced edition will become available only by the end of the year. Any offers for the dev edition?

  Convergence Working on PPP?
Posted by: joshndroid - 03-29-2022, 10:11 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (3)

Hey All,
I have seen a couple youtube vids of people with convergence working.
I have a nexdock, which works perfectly fine with an S21+ via USB C.
The dock also works with my pi4 with a type-c cable and hdmi.
I was trying to get same working with the PPP on Manjaro phosh or Plasma with no result (type-c cable only, much like the s21+).
Is it working in default manjaro or is there a distro where it is working out of the box as of yet?
Is it only working with a type-c to hdmi dongle?
