Hi,

I submitted a ticket on 29/30 January about this issue, but I have had no response there so I am posting my problem here in hope. All I need is a new part or where I can get it.

Dear Pine64 Support,

It need a new circuit board for the keyboard.

I think the charging circuit has gone faulty, the 5208 gets extremely hot, too hot to touch.
The battery appears okay and is fully charged.

Also noticed the there is no power being supplied to the phone via the pogo connections if there isn’t a charger cable plugged in. This might be related to the above.

I can use Megi’s tools to still read the i2c bus, but the charger readings show only 2 volts and 0 mA, however the battery is measuring 4 volt directly.
Keyboard still works if a USB charger is plugged into the keyboard.

How it all started:
Keyboard was working just fine ever since I got it a couple weeks ago. No problems. I have been careful to follow the guidelines concerning charging and peripherals.
The charger I use is the PINE64 PinePower 65W.

I left the pinephone and keyboard overnight maybe logger but not plugged into charger.
In the morning I picked it up and it was dead, no power coming form keyboard.
So I plugged the charger into the keyboard USB port and left it for sometime.
Returned and discovered that keyboard power not working, nothing going to phone.

Previously when everything worked you could press the power button on the keyboard and power would d go to the phone.

Some points.

[] keyboard battery is at full charge, so it did charge or kept its charge?
[] there is no power going to the pogo pin connector unless usb cable is plugged in.
[] the i2c tools show the button is registering, but that says the battery has only 2 volts but when in charge mode shows only 0 mA and doe snot indicate sending current to pinephone.
[] the 5208 get really hot, so much so that you can burn your finger on it.
[] I2C bus is working, Tools do read from it, and keyboard works, as long as there the USB charger cable is plugged in.

Would I be able to get another circuit board? 

Yours Faithfully,

Hi Guys,

I've been on Linux on my laptop for about 2 years now and have never looked back. I recently bought a pine phone for my wife because I am sick of her iphone eavesdropping on us constantly. Apparently, Ubuntu Touch is the 'best' operating system to use on the pine phone so I flashed it to an sd card. It's great but when the phone goes to sleep, I can't bring it out of sleep without restarting the phone. Maybe it's because the system is not installed to the internal phone? Any way t bring it out of suspend without a reboot?

Any advice appreciated

Best Wishes

Matt

Here's how we ported the BME280 I2C Driver (Temperature / Humidity / Pressure) from Zephyr OS to NuttX on PineCone BL602...

Apache NuttX Driver for BME280 Sensor: Ported from Zephyr OS

Hello and thanks to the community.

I would to buy the pinphone pro in remplacement of my realy old broken lineageos phone and linux laptop. 
I really want to support a open, decentralized, reparable and privacy friendly projects.

And a phone with a dock should be the best solution in my opinion.
Is the docking deck designed for the pinebookpro is compatible with pinephonepro?

I noticed that CI is building SFOS 4.3.

How reliable is Sailfish now for calls and messaging? The 4.2 thread hinted that major work was about to happen.

And, if the camera is still not working, do we know why?

Warning:Vmlinuz It is not in the /boot folder (lynis audit system)
Does not have to be there?
The port of an OS distribution to smartphone is
Complex(I have Manjaro Mobile plasma) and do not work that way?
Where it is or it is not necessary?
 Can anyone give an explanation for this questions?

My Pinephone keyboard isn't connecting to the pogo pins well.  I've tried the shim method, but this only seems to raise the plastic edge of the connector section, rather than the connectors themselves, so didn't correct the issue.  Unless the shim can pass directly under the the connectors (which doesn't seem possible) I can't see how this method would help.  I've tried various shim materials, card, plastic, aluminium drinks can etc.  Experimented with multiple layers of shim etc.

Currently the keyboard only functions for me (with or without a shim) if I apply a little pressure on the rear of the case over the area of the pins.

I'm certain the phone and case are connected correctly, everything has clicked into place.  I could not apply any more pressure to the phone when seating it without risking cracking the display.

Is there an alternate workaround to this issue?
