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.

Chris

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?

On my PinePhone Pro running Mobian the Firefox UI has automagically changed itself. The toolbars, Menu, URL field and buttons are all now at the bottom. I can't find the setting in Firefox to change it back. It is driving me nuts. 

This is only on the PinePhone Pro Firefox on my PinePhone Firefox seems unchanged. Apart from applying available updates I have made no other changes to the OS and Firefox on this device. The PPP has been undated and rebooted this morning. Still no change.

Has there been a change in the files in userChrome, CSS etc that moves the UI elements around? If I know what has been changed then I have a chance of changing it back. Otherwise I can go and get the files created by Aris on Github to customise the Firefox UI and at least get the toolbar back at the top.

My phone completely died, so I put it in maskrom mode so that I could charge it. Now I don't know how to get it out of maskrom mode though, what should I do?

I had manjaro-phosh img beta 22 working quite well with voice, sms, amd mms.  I am using Consumer Cellular (really att) sim card.  I am running from SD.  After a pacman system update all phone calls, sms, amd mms stopped.  Phone says "call completed" from dial as soon as you finsh keying in a dial call.  Sim card is recognized

I have tried a dozen or so OS/desktop software alternatives to the sd card; no change.  I tried arch and mobian OS.  I took sim card out and put the sim card into plain pinephone (not pro) and it made a call.  That eliminates the sim card as a fault for me.

Is there any system modem software (hardware level for modem) that is below that on the OS SD card that could be a cause?  Perhaps something on the eMMC but that is not used.

Only alternative thing I can think of is a modem hardware failure that happened concurrently with the pacman update.  That'd be pretty unlikely, I think.

Anyone with any ideas?????      thanks,      tom kosvic

I installed Mobian onto an SD card in the Pinephone Explorer. I have not tried everything I need to try yet but aside from an issue accessing mobile data (fixed by installing all updates) I am not finding obstacles to daily driver use yet.

As a beginner I take the warning very seriously on the wiki not to flash to emmc. Does anyone know when emmc installation will become low-risk enough to recommend? Assuming the SD card is now new, how long can I expect to use the Pinephone as a daily driver before the SD card is worn out and I need to start over with a new one?

What Service provider works best with pineThphone? I am using verizon but thinking about switching to t mobile. Thoughts?
