I know people are busy taking care the people who can and have received PinePhone Pro. I have tried ordering the explorer edition every 15 days since last November and only the PinePhone Pro. Nothing else with it and not been able to do it. The site gives no details except that I get "Some of the devices cannot be shipped to your country due to logistical reasons." error.

I have asked about this since November on Telegram, Twitter and have been ignored every time.

Will this ever change before you raise the price to 600 USD or India will be ignored for the foreseeable future?

From my own adventures trying to get Icecat running on the PinePhone, I followed advice given in the stackexchange posts to install GUIX over the OS I’m running on the PinePhone (Mobian), then run “guix install icecat” - this after having already tried the savannah build script route, which also failed - but after a few hours the phone has run out of battery and shutdown, even though it’s charging from the keyboard case. Even after configuring 1.5Gb of ZRAM, it still wouldn’t work - and I monitored the Usage app (scrolled down so that displaying the CPU usage graphs wouldn’t add to the load), which showed both the 2.9Gb RAM and the 1.5Gb ZRAM maxing our after a while and freezing up the system. So this experience at least anecdotally validates the requirements described in the stackexchange posts. That being said, I haven’t tried the compilation varying the ZRAM config between a min. of 10% and a max. of 250% but I figured a more appropriate route might be to see if there was an Icecat package precompiled for aarch64 / arm64.

Varying my DuckDuckGo search terms led me to discover that The Fedora Project has Icecat packages precompiled for aarch64 as RPMs. I installed Alien to enable me to convert from .rpm to .deb, then downloaded the main Icecat package from TFP’s repository, as well as the -X11- and -Wayland- packages (just in case they were also needed). Once converted, I tried installing them and that appeared to work so far as generating the Icecat logo in my apps list (actually three - one for each of the packages). However, tapping on any of the Icecat logos wouldn’t load anything so I tried launching Icecat from the command line, from within the Icecat directory (found at /usr/lib64/icecat), with “./icecat” and “./run-icecat” when that failed.
Both of these attempts failed for ostensibly the same reasons:

libstdc++.so.6 versions GLIBCXX_3.4.29 and GLIBCXX_3.4.30 were not found but are required

libc.so.6 versions GLIBC_2.33 and GLIBC_2.34 were not found but are required

Following advice in more stackexchange posts, I tried to locate these libraries on the system with “dpkg -L libstdc++.so.6”, for example, but received the message “package is not installed” - which is strange because when I then double checked by flicking through different directories in the GUI Portfolio app, I found entries for it under /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ and under /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ . Indeed, when I tried running “sudo apt-get install libstdc++6” and “sudo apt-get install libc6”, both gave me that they were already installed as newest versions (libstdc++6 10.2.1-6 and libc6 2.31-33+deb11u2).
So, further searches seem to indicate that people are resolving similar library issues with symlinks but there was also a suggestion in the Ubuntu forum that this is not the correct way to go about such an issue as it may break some backwards compatibility measures.

Does anyone have any further suggestions? This feels tantalisingly close to working so would really appreciate getting this over the line!

N.B. I’m running a few weeks’ old build of Mobian from a 512Gb microSD card, rather than from the eMMC, don’t know if that’s important to mention.

I have a PP Braveheart on Arch Phosh that had worked fine for almost 2 years on Verizon's CDMA network. Calls, SMS, and now even MMS worked. Occasionally the inbound SMS would get hung up, but clearing the modem cache by connecting to the modem and running 

Hi,
I'm looking a way to capture picture from rear camera with ffmpeg, I have tried multiple ways to configure camera with media-ctl with no luck

below output from media-ctl -d /dev/media1 --print-topology

Can someone be so kind to let me know what image should I use in order to install OMV 6.0 on top?

Has anyone tried to use the keyboard case as a virtual mouse?
I think it would be great for dealing with non mobile friendly applications if that was possible.

So I just received my PPP about two days ago and at some point while it was in my pocket it switched into Mask ROM Mode (assuming it was a corrupt emmc) I tried following the thread in the general discussion by removing the battery holding the RE button and booting from sd card (I tried this with two separate microSD cards) to no avail. I have left it charging for a few hours at this point figuring it could be a dead battery although that doesn't seem probable as there has been no change despite attempting a reboot several times I get no LED or screen turning on and any time I check the connection from my pc with lsusb it simply returns that it's in Mask ROM Mode every single time.
Any help would be much appreciated, I'm willing to try anything at this point I was very excited to give this device a go and am very disappointed it's been nothing but a paperweight since I received it..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE: I installed tow-boot onto my sd card and attempted to boot from it, I am now finally getting a red light although on their forums it says it's supposed to turn yellow after a short moment buuuuut it doesn't seem to be doing that unfortunately.. So I feel like I'm getting closer but not having too much luck sadly. If anyone has any more tips it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much everybody!

I"ve got issues with Manjaro KDE on the Pinebook Pro.

Sometimes when wanting to open a terminal from the task bar, it freezes and KDE Plasma freezes afterward,
and finally everything freezes.

So far, I've not tested any other OS except ArchLinux ARM (only for recovery).

I've got no clue why.
But I have to note that I have overclocked my Pinebook Pro quite a bit, but this issue even persists without an overclock.

Here's the full journal of that boot:

For current Mobian, what is the easiest way to change the system profile to a dark mode?  I am finally using my Pinephone as a daily driver, but after over 10 years running Maemo Linux on a N900 which ships with a dark mode system palette I am still shocked every time I open my phone at night and get blasted with light.
I would track this down but I assume such a popular problem has already been solved by many users.

Hey all I've been having an issue that makes using my new PPP pretty much impossible :'( every time the screen locks, automatically or manually, it can not be unlocked. I press the power button or tap the screen and nothing happens and I must manually reboot the phone only to be faced with the same problem again. And the phone is still on, as I can hear the up and down volume sounds the I press the volume buttons. Same results with u-boot, tow-boot, manjaro phosh, manjaro plasma and running the os from emmc or SD...
