Hi there,

Looking to see if there are any troubleshooting ideas i've missed.

I have a pinebook pro where I turn it on and the os loads but the keyboard and usb ports aren't working. Originally they worked but over time it seemed like it would take longer and longer for the keyboard to start working, after a while I had to wait a few minutes for any keys to function.

Now, only the power button works. I can have it sit all day and the keyboard or usb ports don't work, thus I can't even try an external keyboard. This is both on battery and plugged in.

I've tried loading different distros on sd card, took the back off and reattached the keyboard cable. I can't see any signs of damage anywhere.

Any suggestions?

Right now i feel like it's done.

thanks

Any pointers on troubleshooting a modem that keeps unregistering?

I switched to USMobile SIM and cannot send SMS / MMS.  SMS & MMS _inbound_ does work (Yes, MMS in Chatty! ) and calls _do_ work inbound & outbound (voice is loud & clear!). 

Just SMS / MMS outbound is NOT working.  And when I try outbound, the modem goes back to "Unregistered", searching, and re-registers; but the "sent" SMS is never received ... logs make it sound like the modem is being rejected.

When I put this USMobile SIM into my daily driver (a MotoG8 running stock Android), everything works.  So it's not a borked SIM. 

One odd thing: my Moto8G modem detects this SIM's cellular network as "T-Mobile", but the APN & MMSC details in Android do indeed match USMobile's website for Androids.  Those APN & MMSC details are what I have setup in Mobian Bookworm.

I've put ModemManager into debug mode but don't really know what to look for ... and perhaps debug is overkill.  Did I miss something obvious in setting up USMobile?

Logs that repeat are below that have rejects in them:

I just installed postmarketos/phosh on my pinephone pro and I don't see any way to rotate the screen. Is it possible? I read the previous posts on the subject but I didn't understand.
Maybe I've already done something stupid :/
Any help would be appreciated

Will have the smartphone a recovery mode?

Good day Everyone.

I decided to intall a 6 SATA Drive card and pack 6 2.5'' hdds in the NAS case the problem is that the Sata power dapter can only supply enought power for 2 drives.

I am looking for recomendations to supply power to the four remaining drives.

Until know I have been uing a USB to Sata converted connected to a fast phone charger. It works but from time to time a drive disappears, no doubt I am exceding the USB current settings. Hence I am looking for something that can supply more current to get my Hdds up and running.

I did used a 12V/5V 2A USB to IDE/SATA Power Supply Adapter For Hard Drive HDD CD-ROM Tool; of course if end up exploting after a few minute. RockPro survided

I attached a few pictures of the rack for refence. Plush blanket great for antistatic I know (Not!) YOLO

SATA PCIE hardware used :

BEYIMEI PCIE 4x SATA card 6 ports, 6 Gbit / s SATA 3.0, boot as System Diskette, Support 6 SATA 3.0 Devices, with 6 SATA cables and a 15pin SATA to 4SATA Power Distribution Cable(ASM1166)

Any suggestions?

Hi everyone; long time lurker but it's my first post here. I got a pinephone pro and none of the distributions I tried were able to make a phone call. I tried (in their posh/plasma versions); Manjaro, Mobian, Arch and Postmarketos. While PostmarketOS make it clear phonecalls are broken, I saw here and there people saying the phonecalls were working in the others I tested (while not explaining how...).

Phonecalls do work as expected on my original pinephone with the same sim card.

Did I miss something ? A new setting or package to update ? Updating a firmware like the modem? The more I search and test the more others workings feature are breaking

any help or explaination would be awesome. even if it's to tell me it never worked; then I could stop searching and just wait for a release claming it fixed it ^^'.

thanks everyone

I am seeing the blue (boot) light at the upper left of the screen continually blinking.  It does not go out.  Does this convey a message?  If so what?

Blinking at roughly 2x per second, estimate.

Is it possible to extract battery from the PinePhone Pro I've ordered (I will deliver it to you from TipTrans Warehouse)?
Because TipTrans/QuantiumSolutions offer cheap delivery but batteries are prohibited.

If it's not possible to extract battery from an already ordered phone, will it be possible to buy PinePhones without batteries right from the store?
Why isn't it possible?

I am finding that if the PPP is off the charger (as in your pocket when you go out) it turns off after about 45 minutes and does not answer calls.  If you activate it with the start button, it still wakes up (not a reboot/restart from cold) and does answer calls.  To me this makes the PPP dysfunctional as to be a usable cell phone if you can't reliably get a call after 45 minutes off the tether.

I am running tests calling PPP with android phone.  It looks like about 45 minutes from a full charge before it goes dead and stops answering after being off charger.  Still at 70% or so battery.  I will continue to test. Manjaro-phosh system.

Are others seeing the same thing or is this just my phone?   How long can you have the PPP off charger and still receive a call?  What if you go out with 70% battery, 50% battery?

Hate doing this - but have had no response from shipping in 26 days on an order placed in October outside a message saying that this is Hong Kong's problem.

Anyone know how to get a response from these folks?
