PPKB seems like it may not withstand as many impacts as a phone may be subject to. Anyone find some sort of rubberized skin that might provide some additional protection? A case for a case, I know, but it seems like the keyboard case could use some extra protection.

I left phone on wall charger connection for maybe 24 hours.  Now it will not boot or even turn the lights on to try to boot.  I am running phosh-manjaro from sd card.  System has been updated several times using pacman. 

I removed battery several times.  I removed sd card and reinstalled sd.  I pushed RE button and then tried boot with no indication of anything happening.

Only life is small blue light near top of screen that can only be seen after aligning phone to view it.

Any tricks???   My earlier pinephone was more reliable than the PPP, I hate to say.

Hello,



I'm building a NAS setup with this:

• NAS case
  
• RockPro 64 with 4 Gb RAM
  
• Axagon PCES-SA2N PCIe => 2 internal SATA III adapter (I didn't took the one from pine store following wiki advice)
  
• 2 Western Digital 6TB "WD Blue" 3.5" hard drives, that I plan to mirror with RAID 1
  
• SATA and power cables from NAS case
  
• tall profile heatsink
  
• 80 mm fan
  
• a 12V/5A power (from pine store)
  
• WIFI/BT module
  
• trying Armbian bullseye, I'm mainly willing to run OpenMedia Vault, and if possible some graphical software (like Kodi)
  

Hey guys who is using sxmo on the ppp and from what district? Happy with the experience?

Does anyone know if this way of connecting a PinePhone, while in a keyboard case, to a USB-C docking bar (convergence package) is 100% safe?

Hi folks! I have a working install of Manjaro Sway on eMMC (and Tow-Boot on SPI), and want to 'reform' it into a setup with full FDE (as much as possible). To do this, I did the following so far:

• Created a USB drive with one ESP and one LUKS partition
  
• Created LVM swap and root partitions inside LUKS volume
  
• Copied working system from eMMC to USB drive
  
• Used manjaro-chroot to install GRUB
  

Hi,

I've purchased few years ago (actually, 5 years ago!) PineA64+ with 2GB RAM.
Tried to use it with one project, but didn't work as I wanted so I've dumped it.

Recently I was looking for some touchscreen device for few tasks (running an IVMS android app to see CCTV cameras), and just found this old board. After connecting - everything worked fine.
I've decided to buy a LCD touchscreen (since I've tried with some USB-based monitors with touchscreen and they were not supported), but it seemed it's out of stock. However... it occured, that a local company had this exact item - last one, just waiting for me  I was thrilled and ordered it.

At first - I was warried: ribbons were so fragile, and I had completely no idea if I'm connecting them correctly. Especially, that when I turned power on - nothing happened at all. Then I discovered that you need to have one of dedicated LCD disk images. Downloaded, ran - yeah, screen works!

But then... a BIG disappointment: touch screen does not work! I tried connecting TP ribbon again, but suddenly the touch input seemed to SOMEHOW react.

After a short investigation - I saw what's going on: the touch input is completely flipped upside down!
When I touch screen in top left corner - system reacts, as if I have touched it in bottom right! Swiping my finger from top left to top right corner is read as swiping from bottom right to bottom left! 

What is going on? I was looking for some settings in screen, display, input section... but couldn't find anything that would help me
Is it some problem with the disk image I've downloaded (3.2.2 Stock Android 6.0.1 (LCD Panel Video Output) [20170209] from official pine64 wiki)? Or is it something physical, like something went wrong during the assembly of the screen? I even thought that I might try taking the screen out from its case and flipping it 180 degrees, but the ribbons are glued to the back of the screen and I'm afraid I would damage them. Nevertheless, the back of the screen looks correct - I mean, the ribbons seem to be placed correctly when I compare it to the PDF manuals that show how to connect the screen.

May it be, that I have connected something wrong? How come? The ribbon cable seems to have contact points only on one side, so connecting it upside down would rather result in having completely no output, right? And, even if - probably forcing other connection would mess up the signal and DC pins, with baked LCD as effect.

Any help? Maybe there's some other option? I was searching for anyone having such problem, but seems like I'm the only one...

Greetings,

Hi all,
I wanted to try phosh before installing it, so I wrote Manjaro-ARM-phosh-pinephone-beta21.img to a microsd, but after the boot there is not much I can do because neither the wifi nor bluetooth appear to be working: any hints?

Regards

Hi

I have a problem with hearing callers sending or receiving phone call. Sound generally is OK. phone call volume is barely addable on the ear peace but no sound at all in speaker mode. When raising the or lowering the volume of the call the beep has a normal volume but makes not difference to the call volume.

Is there a way to fix this problem?

Thanks
Shanta

I am using the Pinephone as my only mobile, and on the whole I am happy with the hardware.

I do think, however, that it might be a good idea if some of the software was rewritten for a Linux phone instead of being shoe horned into the pinephone.

I am running phosh on Arch Linux, and as I speak the Settings (gnome) is tiny on the screen. If I open the Bluetooth Settings (gnome) rotate the screen to landscape and the back to portrait, it is also tiny. This is very annoying.

Does anyone agree?
