Order a pine phone pro Feb 9th.
It shipped quickly, but got stuck in Los Angeles.

From DHL:
Shipment is on hold
February, 26 2022 10:07 Local time | LOS ANGELES GATEWAY, CA - USA

I've emailed sales. No response.


I submitted at ticket at:
https://desk.zoho.com/portal/pine64/en/home


I've contacted DHL. They initiated an investigation. Their finding is that the shipment has been lost.
I will try to file a claim.

Has anyone gotten DHL to pay a claim on a pine64 shipment?

Hi all!

I've recieved a new Pinephone Pro explorer edition and am about to fire it up. I've been following pinephone development closely over the past couple of years and excited to try it out.

I have a fair amount of linux experience with multiple different distros over the years. That being said, I'm not a hard core programmer but more of a tinkerer.

I had two main questions before getting started.

#1
Tow-boot vs u-boot?

Seems like the big show-stopper bug for now with the PPP is power managment. It seems like many people have installed Tow-boot to help deal with this, but there are others that seem to be making progress using the u-boot that came by default. Should I just switch over to Tow Boot right off the bat? Are there disadvantages to doing this?

#2 
Best distro to get started with at the moment

I know that people are asking this all the time, but this seems pretty fluid and changes frequently. I know that any of them will have problems and need work in development. I just was trying to get started on a reasonably good footing.

I have read that Manjaro Plasma unstable branch has made some real progress with power managment. However, it seems like people have had some significant trouble trying to update the pre-installed image of manjaro plasma on the explorer edition. Should I just flash a new image to an SD and try out that? Or has anybody sucessfully updated from the Manjaro Plasma using the unstable branch from the preflashed image.

Thanks so much for the help! Looking forward to trying this out and contributing back what I can.

Welp; I might've bricked things. I'd followed instruction at https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PinePh...microSD_OS, thinking it was talking about the PinePhone Pro (maybe I got to it from a thread regarding the PPP; I don't remember, at this point), and missed the message in red at https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_P...o_the_eMMC.

Now, it won't boot at all (as far as I can tell) with a full battery or plugged into a PC. I thought I was following instructions to the letter but this one's clearly my fault. Hoping I didn't just brick my just-bought phone but thought I'd, at least, ask if there was any kind of hope for recovery, at this point.

I'm unsure if this is only affecting the PPP but I'm unable to do anything but connect to the network. Searching for anything just crashes the tab.

I know there are a few threads about carriers already, but I thought I'd open one up specifically for the UK:

I have two SIM cards, both use the EE network, but only one of them works on Ubuntu Touch:

- The PAYG card from 1p mobile works as expected.

- An old pay monthly SIM from T-Mobile, later taken over by EE, causes problems: bad voice reception and no mobile data - a shame, because this SIM has unlimited data. It is also my main number that I had for over 20 years.

This is the only reason I have not ditched my old Android phone altogether!

Hey all,

I tried both the Arch Phosh and Plasma and one item that got me stumped is what is the sudo password on a stock version? I tried 123456 and root but nothing.

TIA!

Hello

I can set recipient and subject, but it's not possible to write any text (it's not possible to bring the focus/corsor to the mail body).
If I click cancel, click the "undo" button, then I'm able to write the mail as expected.
If I click cancel, click the "undo" button, click in the recipient of subject field, then I'm not able to jump to the text field.

This issue happens with and without a signature. This issue happens with "plain text" and "rich text".

Version: 40.0-2mobian1
The only log entry I can find is: "org.gnome.Geary[...]: *[wrn] ... Gdk:Event with type 4 not holding a GdkSeat. It is most likely synthesized outside Gdk/GTK+"

Hello, on my last install I tried the f2fs system file, I read something somewhere online some articles that f1fs is a bit faster, what are the best and cons between those 2 system files on mobian pp?

Hello folks,
      I got a Pine Phone 3GB RAM 32 GB eMMC, and I would like to run some OS with FreePBX and configure it to use the built-in Modem to act as an FXO device for SIP phones.  @Mach10 has an old thread where he posted a link to a FreePBX OS, but the link is expired. If that OS image is still available I would surely appreciate a link to download it.

Any other thoughts on a project like this?

Thanks,

I'll go first.

Here is my phonputer, it runs Arch Linux ARM and use Sway (not sxmo) as the environment. It is designed to require a keyboard for function.
