Hi, I updated my Pinephone using these instructions https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_U...structions

$ sudo pacman -Syu

after his command it tried to do an update abut after a few minutes of downloading different packages it crashed and now when I start up the phone there's a screen that says 'something went wrong' with only a logout button. If I press logout, the Manjaro UI shows for a split second before the phone loops back to the lock screen again. Any thoughts on how to fix this issue and get it back to a working state? Thanks

I got a micro sim, from the store, put it in, and restart the phone. The phone still says sim locked, and when I go into settings, it says no sim card installed. What should I do? UPDATE: It now says modem not available

I noticed that after a few weeks after an fresh install the storage of phone keeps growing without adding new files, until the point I keep receiving full storage alerts, I have around 26GB of music and always around 6-8 GB of free space. The only thing I am constantly downloading are podcasts episodes, but after some time the old episodes get deleted automatically.
Someone has any tip for that problem?

I am assuming it takes some about:config toggles I was not able to find in the tin mobile UI to get a clickable link in the Mobian Firefox mobile UI for saved bookmarks.
I will post the answer to the wiki as this is core function especially mobile https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=firefox-esr
any other tweaks would be appreciated which made your experience better including useful low CPU plugins.

I have noticed that most apps have a real difficulty using the SD card mounted in /media; as in they do not always have the ability to even browse but expect all media it will be playing and organizing to be stored in a default music or video directory in /home.
I think most users will be storing most multimedia on a SD card yet the only way to get for example Lolypop(music player) is to launch it from the command line with the SD directory holding my music.  Similar problems with Totem made worse by the absolutely minimal video codec support.
On desktop Linux I have options to choose apps like Audacious and VLC which are happy to let me manage my media rather than taking over organization with no other options when I just want playback.

Hello everybody,

I want to get a case for my pine phone and I'm not sure where to get it. I want to get something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hianjoo-Compati...C80&sr=1-9

My pine phone has the replacement wireless charging mode on the back which makes for a deeper phone. What should I go for? Can anybody help, please? I'm in the UK.

Hello,
I have a very strange bug.
On mobian and manjaro updated, SMS/MMS/call in and data works very well.
But SMS/MMS and call out work only in the 5seconde after I hung up an incoming phone.

When I look to the modem log, I saw that the last commande is "Executed soft sleep sequence". It's like it didn't wake up.

When I try to send an sms with nmcli, I have a WmsMessageDeliveryFailure error (don't know how to copy/past the terminal).

Is it the right place to ask ?

Hello community,

currently I'm using Armbian (Debian/ Bullseye) on my PinebookPro and I've been pretty ok with it. Yes, it is slow, and yes, internal speakers are terrible, and true, suspend does not work (in a usable fashion that's not quickly draining the battery), and well, occasionally the screen just stays blank when trying to boot... but the device is light and quiet.

But since I read on this forum that "my" Armbian was not supported anymore, and also hoping I'd get a U-Boot version with graphical output, I tried to install a different Linux this weekend. In conclusion I gave up for the time being, deciding my system was good enough for now, and I'd probably better soon switch to a 2013 ThinkPad 440s with twice the RAM, which I happened to get some time after having bought the PinebookPro.

I tried the Manjaro image writer script, and I tried downloading and booting the Manjaro image. First I tried SD cards with my Armbian still on the emmc, which would not boot. I kind of remembered (from my experience one, two years back) that this was probably the u-boot from the SD card trying to boot the system from the emmc (?).

Well, no problem, I thought, since I purchased the emmc to usb adapter some time last year: I'll just write the image straight to the emmc. This did work to some extend: I had u-boot output, the screen would switch to the Manjaro boot logo... and get stuck there. I could press escape and get system messages, though:

I want to add https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=apps to the wiki's website sidebar under the apps subheading, it is important for daily-driver and it needs to be easily found rather than requiring searching forums.
It might require admin/SU to edit this as I don't find a way to do so.

My Step-Father recently got a new PinePhone Pro, and it won't turn it on. No, he isn't some dumb boomer who didn't think to charge the phone, it hasn't turned on for a few days. All of the switches are set to the "ON" position, and he has charged it enough for it to be at 100%. What is he doing wrong, and what can him or I do to fix this issue?
