  How to apply thermal zones values
Posted by: jojuma - 04-13-2022, 05:55 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (3)

Lately I find my Mobian CE PP becoming pretty warm. Earlier, I had several Apps running at once and the phone didn't get hot at all. Now, I only got the terminal running and even if I turn off the screen, the phone starts getting hot... What's happening?

I found this thread on that issue.

I think there should be a dummy manual for each OS on how to apply save thermal values in order to protect screens. I'm sorry if there is one and I simply didn't find it.

I tried to apply those values by following these steps:

1. Installing sysfsutils: sudo apt install sysfsutils
2. Checking status: systemctl status sysfsutils -> active
3. Checking if enabled at startup: systemctl is-enabled sysfsutils -> enabled
4. Setting values:

Code:
echo -e "w /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_0_temp - - - - 45000\nw /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_1_temp - - - - 65000\nw /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_2_temp - - - - 90000" | sudo tee /usr/lib/sysctl.d/throttling.conf
5. Applying values: reboot

throttling.conf is there with expected content:
Code:
w /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_0_temp - - - - 45000
w /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_1_temp - - - - 65000
w /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_2_temp - - - - 90000

But the settings do not get loaded.

Code:
grep . /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_*_temp
always returns the standard values.

So how do I get the lower values applied and loaded?

Thank you very much!


EDIT:

If I change the values by hand like

Code:
echo 45000  > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_0_temp
echo 65000  > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_1_temp
echo 90000  > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_2_temp
it results in "no permission". I can't even do that as sudo, I need to be su.

Is that maybe the reason, the changes don't apply? How can I get around that?


  Not recognizing soundcard
Posted by: tallfrye - 04-12-2022, 09:43 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

I flashed ArchARM on my PinebookPro and everything has been working great except for no sound. The PBP's previous owner says he had sound working on it, so seems to be a software issue. I tried:

Code:
# dmesg | grep sound
[    1.879278]   No soundcards found.
[    6.737158] input: rockchip,es8316-codec Headphones as /devices/platform/es8316-sound/sound/card0/input9

I realize ArchARM is unsupported for the PBP and sound will likely work if I just flash to a different OS, but is there any low hanging fruit to have the system to check for the soundcard before I give up on Arch?


  Dual booting
Posted by: usagi - 04-12-2022, 03:59 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (7)

Hey,
Got multi user on mobian os. Now looking I way to dual or multi boot. Looked at what could find. Megis seems the
best option but not sure what it means "My modem power management driver is used for safe and reliable handling of modem power, except on distributions that use the new eg25-manager program.". The other one was pineloader but not sure how the os images are loaded. One
option would be to write a simple boot my self but not sure where to begin. Wouldnt need to be anything complex just the option
to choose between to os on boot.

So those are great news! I have just one question that was not there, can I flash tow-boot to my pine phone that has mobian installed? Or do I need to install mobian again on top of tow-boot?


Question The next Pinephone
Posted by: Dogman - 04-11-2022, 08:32 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

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?


  Can this stop my sim from working?
Posted by: For_lack_of_a_better_name - 04-11-2022, 07:22 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (1)

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?    


Sad Sim card issues
Posted by: For_lack_of_a_better_name - 04-11-2022, 02:53 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - No Replies

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.


  TestFlight+InfiniLink Expired?
Posted by: winstontj - 04-11-2022, 09:36 AM - Forum: Development Discussion on PineTime - Replies (3)

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.


  Flashing with RF Connect
Posted by: ronaldheld - 04-11-2022, 03:53 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (12)

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?


  Vibration
Posted by: CasPol - 04-10-2022, 10:08 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - No Replies

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 ?
