I recently did a kernel update and ever since I can't find a way to use the keys next to f1-f10, like +,=,-,_, etc.

I need to get something off my chest and I hope, I will find help here.
 
I am not a Linux Pro, but I am using Linux on my Laptops and PCs for many years now.
When Ubuntu Touch came up, I immediatly ordered a BQ E5 Ubuntu Edition. 
I've been using Ubuntu Touch for years now and I was happy, when the Pinephone came up. Finally open Hardware!

I own more than one Pinephone and I know people who own one. And I am absolutely happy using them and tinkering around.
But let's take 5 Pinephones. At least 3 of them have hardware issues (not just some dead pixels, which would be happily accept). Summed up, these phones have been in use for not more than a months's time and have never left the building. They're absolutely in mint condition. So too heavy "use" can't be a reason.

• We have one with a display defect (parts are darker/brighter than others)
  
• We have one, gotten hot and startet to damage the display
  
• We have one, which gets hot as soon as the speaker is active
  

Hello

I have copied the image (booting form SD, using dd) to the eMMC. The image file is exactly the same as was used to flash the SD card.
After this has been done, the PBP does not boot anymore (neither eMMC, nor SD). The power LED stays amber, nothing happening.
Any hints?

Dear Pine64 Community,

I really really love PBP. But, it's dead, unable to boot up.
I'm not sure what I did that caused PBP dead.

I have done all Wiki and steps to reset, bypass the power and reset again. None of this worked.
Please kindly advise. Thanks.

I don't know who thought it was a "great idea" to move Firefox's address bar to the bottom of the screen but I find it really annoying and confusing. How can I move it back to the top where it belongs?

So far the only thing I've found is this suggestion from Mozilla support  from nearly 2 years ago saying to go to Settings, then Customize:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1296961

However I don't see "Customize" in the settings and searching doesn't find it either.

Like the title says. This worked fine for quite a while.

Today I flashed tow-boot to emmc and reinstalled mobian.
Now, Portfolio doesn't extract zip files any more ("Could not open <filename>.zip").

Unzipping in the terminal works.

I wanted to uninstall and reinstall but unfortunately, uninstalling Portfolio isn't possible  in "Software" ("Unable to remove Portfolio: no packages to remove"). I also can't find a target for apt remove.

Does someone have an idea how I could fix the zip function or how I could uninstall Portfolio? Maybe the flathub version works better...?

Portfolio was quite usable on the Pinephone and fulfilled all my needs. I just want it to work like it did before the reinstallation.

Thanks in advance

Has anyone been able to activate a Tracfone or US Mobile SIM on the Pinephone and be able to make calls?  I have activated cards from both on my Pinephone and it seemed to go well but I can not make usable connections (calls usually do not connect at all) and the phone will not stay registered.

Do I have to get another SIM and activate it on a different phone?  That seems to be what most do.

I couldn't find out, what this big white 6 pin socket on the board is used for. Someone has a clue?
The other question is: there is this jellow jumper which selects the clock signal. In the schematics drawing one can see, that pin 1 selects the board's clock. Now I wonder which pin is pin 1.
regards,
Hans-Peter

I received my Pinephone Pro about a month ago, played with it a little bit and haven't used it until yesterday. I booted it once and powered it off again as I wanted to try another os.

After that I was unable to boot it. The battery and charging seems to work fine (checked it with a voltmeter). I was also unable to boot to sd following all instructions in the wiki.
