Hiya, 

Yeah we just had a  new Pinephone release but I couldn't help but feel there was something missing, is there any chance the next Pinephone may have a 120hz display? I really want to get into Linux phones but that's the one spec holding me off :/ 
On that note as well what other features are people wanting on the next device?

I somehow snapped a few of those back pins on my sim slot, could this be why my phone is saying "no sim detected", if so how can I fix it?    

So, I got a sim converter, and put my sim into my phone, then restarted it. The phone does not read that there is a sim in the tray, I do not know what to do. The sim card is an xfinity mobile one, and I am running manjaro phosh.

Hello,
I am getting an error with TestFlight and InfiniLink. I am being told that '"InifinLink" Beta Has Expired' and TestFlight is saying "No Apps Available to Test". TestFlight asks for a redeem code. I have had a watch as well as a dev kit (in total, two sealed watches, one open/dev watch) since September/October 2021. I have used InfiniLink and TestFlight up until a few days ago without issue. I have been working on a few development items in my spare time and have never had an issue using the apps or uploading my own code to the watch (via InfiniLink). 

Did something happen? Am I supposed to renew something? How do I obtain a new redeem code for TestFlight and if InfiniLink beta has expired, is there a RC or RELEASE version available? 
Thanks.

I cannot flash 1.9.0. it stops at 13%  I tried 1.8.0 and got the same results.  Is this due to recent updates to RF Connect?

Pine Phone Pro Explorer with Phosh 

   
PinePhone with Phosh is vibrating for every icon, keyboard, etc. press.
I Used; cmd: gsettings set org.sigxcpu.feedbackd profile silent. 
It does indeed turn off the vibration but also all other notifications, calls message and alarms.
Is it possible to turn off vibration without loosing all notification sounds ?

Here's how we run Apache NuttX RTOS on PineDio Stack BL604 RISC-V board ... With ST7789 Display, LVGL Graphics and LoRaWAN

PineDio Stack BL604 runs Apache NuttX RTOS

I recently bought a few things from the Pine store, including a fingerprint scanner back for my Community Edition Pinephone.

Does anyone know if the fingerprint scanner has been implemented as a device/screen lock with Manjaro?

If not, is there any progress being made on this?

Alternatively, is the fingerprint scanner implemented on other mobile OS compatible with Pinephone?

Keen to take mine for a test flight.

Hello All,

First, feel free to slap me if there is an "open issues" sticky, or protocol to posting I was in too much rush to read.

Hopefully not the only new Pinephone 64 recipient in the US around the March/April 2022 time, and a new user, we all should have the same hardware/software. THus al have same/similar issue.

Seeking the non-tech folks like me clear-cut known solutions. The web is full of endless miles of "have you tried this" and "go edit this file" not helping much for non-tech folks and not sure of the date of those solutions. Hope someone can help the new non-tech folks like me. (lets move past the "if your non-tech why did you by a Pinephone, see my username LOL!)

Here is my current list of issues:


Issues -

Password Setup (SOLVED) - There is a hidden pin confirmation box off screen you cannot see, need to tab to it with an external keyboard and enter to move on (keyboard adapter need if you do not have one).

SIM Card (SOLVED) - After no luck with the NET10/Trackphone SIM, found that at least in the US Northeast the Simple Mobile SIM kit from Walmart ($10 USD) worked pretty much turn key (well almost).

Mobile Data - Mobile Data not working sometimes. Simple Mobile's text to " Send APN to 611611 to set up you mobile data" of course does not work (or did it??). KDE Plasma's menu has no seen option to turn it on in settings. It does show under settings and access points, Internet and APN as "wap.tracfone" (this is correct from what I read for Simple Mobile), but this for when wi-fi (previously set up wi-fi on phone start up). Somehow the phone or the text APN to 611611 did this itself while connected to wifi??? But no visible mobile data APN settings. Just no turning wi-fi off I have mobile data, I always show all bars, its a mystery why. Sometimes I get no mobile modem messages. Not sure what is going on here, seems for the first day a bit "unstable??"

Screen Brightness going to Dim when off charge Cable - When unplugging the cable the screen immediately goes to max dim unless you press the screen. All settings tried will not fix it. (get the .5 in the root folder thing again not a proper solution for the average person and this solution is all over the map!).  Being this is an issue that would impact many, when will this be fixed in an update????

Battery not Charging to 100% - After a night long charge of the new phone battery only hits about 83%.  Also noticed batter charge state bounced around at times. What is the non-techy solution here and when will it be fixed in a software update?

Updates Not Updating? - In Discover going to Update it shows updates available (604 of them). And if I click it there is a LONG! list.  Yet is shows 0 B.  I've been in this endless loop of telling it to do the updates, it telling me to reboot my phone, yet still the same update waiting.

Email - Well for some reason Protonmail cannot get a Linux App. And I do not want to pay and do POP3 etc etc.  So I found Tutanota in Discover, cool!  Install it and its out of date, cannot update, and the screen keyboard is not working.  Would like a nice app for email that can notify me when I have email.  Went to Tutanota website, they have  a Linux app you download, have no idea how to install this nor control it.  Would like to use Discover to "control apps" to know what is installed, to be able to easily (noob here) unistall, and control things.  Having to manage an endless mile of files from terminal not what Im after and IMO we are at the point we should not have to. Question - how can we get Tutanota or who can get Tutanota to update the app in Discover?? Not sure how that works or who manages Discover.

Thanks, forgive my ignorance folks. But 1. we all want this stuff to be successful. 2. To do that, everyday folks need easy solid answers. 3. I am sure I represent more than just me here.  I hate to think there are folks that bought a Pinephone, tried, looked for answers, could not find them because there were not quick and easy to locate, and were lost in too much data and just gave up.  I tossed MS and APL out the window (pun) because I was sick of them!  That M1 was a HUGE disapointment and not with a Dell Micro PC and Ubuntu I am super happy!! Wanting to offload this IOs POS phone ASAP!

thanks!

For a short time after installing Biktorgj's firmware I was able to sometimes make and receive calls though audio was poor and they often terminated.
However after some upgrades (one of which included modemmanager) that ended.  The modemmanager log now produces

  <info>  [modem1] simple connect state (8/8): all done
  <info>  [modem1] 3GPP registration state changed (home -> searching)
  <warn>  [modem1] couldn't load operator code: Current operator MCC/MNC is still unknown 
  <warn>  [modem1] couldn't load operator name: Current operator id is still unknown
  <info>  [modem1] state changed (connected -> disconnecting)
  <info>  [modem1] state changed (disconnecting -> searching)

and then loops forever with

  <info>  [modem1] 3GPP registration state changed (searching -> idle)
  <info>  [modem1] state changed (searching -> enabled)
  <info>  [modem1] simple connect started...
  <info>  [modem1] simple connect state (4/8): wait to get fully enabled
  <info>  [modem1] simple connect state (5/8): register
  <info>  [modem1] 3GPP registration state changed (idle -> searching)
  <info>  [modem1] state changed (enabled -> searching)

With frequent interjections of

  <warn>  [modem1] couldn't load operator code: Current operator MCC/MNC is still unknown
  <warn>  [modem1] couldn't load operator name: Current operator id is still unknown

Evidently this problem is unique to my Pinephone.  I guess it's going to have to become a PDA.
Perhaps someday an upgrade will happen to fix it.
