The battery in my Pro seems to go just fine in my Pinephone but it doesn't work the other way around. It is very tight when I have tried getting my Pinephone battery into the Pro. Tight to the point that I feel like if I pushed really hard I could get it in there but almost certainly couldn't get it out without using some kind of tool to leverage it. Is this everyone's experience?

With the Pine64 Store not showing any signs of ever restocking the Pinephone battery pack anytime soon, I was wondering if anyone had found a true drop-in replacement for it? 

TIA!

I've been running the latest Beta on my Pro ever since I got it, and was quite happy when they solved the mobile data issue with the release of Beta 11, however, as of yesterdays' update (3/22/22), it goes to sleep and never wakes up.  The only solution is to do a hard reset (hold the power button for a long time).

Is anyone else seeing this, and / or does anyone know a way to fix it?

When is a Release?
When is a Factory?
When is a Beta?
In Manjaro

I installed and was happily running OpenBSD on my RockPro64 v2.1 for many months. At some point I needed to wipe and reinstall everything. When I attached the serial console as usual, I realized that I was only ever able to get serial output FROM the board, but was no longer ever able to send any serial TO the board.

I have performed all of the expected troubleshooting steps many, many times to figure out what the heck I'm doing wrong:

• rechecked TX, RX, and GND connections
  
• rechecked serial terminal baudrate and settings (correct because I'm getting good serial output)
  
• swapped out different FTDI USB-serial cables
  
• confirmed I was able to use the same FTDI cable to send and receive on a different SBC
  
• connected both TX and RX lines to an oscilloscope (with serial decoding) to monitor that I was, indeed, sending and receiving valid serial data to/from the board
  

I'm very excited to learn about Quartz64. I've been looking for a more modern replacement for my RockPro64 and this looks ideal.

As I am strictly running OpenBSD on my devices, I'm wondering if anyone is currently working on porting OpenBSD to Q64.

Thanks much!

Cause of failure: failed to reinstall the system, resulting in the red indicator light on when starting up, but the screen is black.

Long press the power button to shut down, and then prepare the native default system, preferably the image of the latest version of Manjaro arm KDE, write it to the SD card and insert it into the SD card slot. At the same time, put the image of the system into a USB flash disk and insert it into the notebook.

Then, remove the back cover, press and hold the recovery key (one of the two small black cylinders) above the motherboard with your fingertips, and then press the power key. At this time, the screen flashes several times for a long time. After it is displayed normally, it will enter the SD card system. During startup setting, do not install the system. In the trial state, open the start button, find the manjaro arm flasher , open it, find the system image in the USB flash disk in the path, set the partition where the installation location EMMC is located, press start , and exit the flasher tool after running  is completed。

Next, click the start button to shut down.

Then, unplug the USB flash disk and SD card and turn it on.

Hi,

I put Tow-boot on the SPI. Then I flashed Manjaro-ARM-gnome-pbpro-22.02.img to a SD card, booted from it and used the manjaro-arm-installer to put Manjaro on my eMMC. I selected the minimal version with FDE. The installer finishes and I turned of the PBP. I removed the SD card and turned it on again. Tow-boot showed up and I pressed ESC to select to boot from eMMC (I guess this is not required since the eMMC is higher up in the boot order than the SD). Booting however fails each time and gives the errors that are visible in the following image: https://imgur.com/Wek8KNw
Did this happen to anyone else? I tried multiple times now with tow-boot and u-boot. I tried with the minimal and gnome versions with and without FDE. Can somebody help please?

I am selling my second Pinephone. I had it in case my UBPorts edition had some issues I wouldn't be able to solve but I never had to use it. It was waiting on my shelf for more than a year and it is still wrapped. It has 3GB RAM and the dock is included too.
You can find it on Ebay. It's in Germany.

Hello everyone,
 
Today I am looking for game apps I can download in my pinephone so my kidos could have something interesting/fun but that it helps them academically speaking.
 
For example, I have a son in the 10th grade, he is advanced in math, so I have been looking for calculus homework help near me with no luck so he can start studying for his AP courses and examinations (which he will present next year).
So I searched around for calculus help websites or free calculus help online, but honestly, I am willing to pay for an app or a subscription as long as it's good. 
We found this StudyPug site thanks to other parents' recommendations at school, it's like a calculus tutor or calculus help actually, it's a good app on an android phone apparently where they can see video lessons and has some interactive features like problems and such... but besides a typical course, I would like to complement this with a more fun way... so is there any game out there which could help students in such subjects? And furthermore, do we know of anything like this for a pinephone? 
 
I would be interested in anything math or physics related apps.
 
Any recommendation? Thanks in advance!
