  I guess I destroyed my phone.
Posted by: Merc - 02-08-2022, 07:41 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (4)

I tried to use an adapter to extend my SD card slot to outside my PinePhone case so I didn't have to keep taking the case off and I guess that [removed by mod] destroyed my phone because it no longer reads from the SD card slot. The phone turns on, the LED turns green and then it just stays like that. I guess it's my fault. [removed by mod] This is likely my last post on this forum. My phone is destroyed. Whatever. Piece of trash. My beta phone bricks the second I decide to do anything with it.

  Manjaro Plasma Beta and Cellular Data Service
Posted by: Fred Zyphal - 02-08-2022, 07:26 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (7)

So, I've been playing with my PinePhone since about July of 2021, all of the different OS's, but since I use Ubuntu on my desktop and laptop, I've been happiest with Ubuntu Touch on my phone (this could all change back to Fedora at any moment).  As soon as I was able to, I ordered the PinePhone Pro which is still in transit, and since they seem to be shipping Manjaro with Plasma on the Pro, I decided to focus on that for a while.  I installed Beta5 a while back, and I was excited to see that cell phone service just always worked, it was great, way better than UT.  Eventually I upgraded to Beta10 and was very disappointed to see that it no longer worked, at all, so I put Beta5 back on just to be sure that I wasn't imagining things, and it still worked.  So I tried Beta9, and sort of accidentally discovered that cell phone service doesn't work unless you have cellular data turned on, I don't want cellular data turned on because I'm playing with my cheap Consumer Cellular SIM.  So another quick check of Beta5 confirmed that it works great with cellular data either on or off.  Sometime between Beta5 and Beta9, it broke, and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this, and if anyone knows what happened, or more importantly does anyone know how to fix it?


  Bash prompt temp batery Mobian ppp
Posted by: iopser - 02-08-2022, 02:56 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - No Replies

Hi .
Well i was trying Mobian  and i love the little tweak of adding on .bashrc the battery prompted when ssh connection.
and i realize the path have change and  variables and so, and still there is no wiki so i will share here.
The new thing is just adding and change a couple of things, here we go:
I just create a var.  CAPACI and call it with the new  path.

Code:
# -= start battery prompt =-
battery_status(){
BATTERY=/sys/class/power_supply/rk818-charger/ #meu ppp ficar vari CAPACI nou path
CAPACI=/sys/class/power_supply/battery/ # mee ppp crido CAPACI nou path
BATSTATE=$(cat ${BATTERY}/status)
CHARGE=$(cat ${CAPACI}/capacity)
rest of the code dont change.




note:  powersuply app happens the same.
that's it. Should work with this.

ello.

  Keyboard case issues
Posted by: dgiffin - 02-08-2022, 12:15 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Accessories - Replies (10)

My keyboard case worked fine with my (original) PinePhone, but with my PinePhone Pro the keys just aren’t recognised - anyone else hit this? The phone is well sat into the top of the case, so I don’t think it’s a bad connection on the pins.


  PackageKit daemon has crashed

I get this when I try and run the system updates - freshly unboxed PinePhone Pro, not made any changes.


  Waydroid on PinePhone Pro PPP (Stock Manjaro Plasma)
Posted by: mhedhli - 02-08-2022, 10:47 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (7)

Any luck running Waydroid on PPP default Manjaro Plasma Install?

I was able to get it installed with the below instructions for the PinePhone, but upon launching it just hangs on the Waydroid launch screen.

Installation instructions:

Code:
sudo pacman -S waydroid-image
sudo waydroid init -f
sudo systemctl enable waydroid-container --now



then launch the app from Pinephone App launcher.

App hangs and does not progress past initial screen. I tried launching from the terminal with wayland show-full-ui and got a wayland-0 display error. 

Upon forcing a reboot from the terminal I noticed an Android terminal screen with an error about sensors... I forced a reboot holding the power button. Perhaps some tweaks are needed to target the proper display? Any thoughts?

Thinking the issue has to do with PSI requirement in the kernel which has not yet made it to mainline stable Manjaro.
Do we need PSI to run Waydroid? - ARM - Manjaro Linux Forum

Is there a work around for PSI or do we need to upgrade to a non-stable kernel... or do we wait. :-\

  Packages being kept back
Posted by: user641 - 02-08-2022, 04:59 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Hello,

I just ran an 'apt update && apt upgrade' and this packages were being kept back:

librygel-renderer-2.6-2 librygel-server-2.6-2 rygel

Running a apt full-upgrade will do that bellow:

remove: libgupnp-av-1.0-2 libgupnp-dlna-2.0-3

install: libgupnp-av-1.0-3 libgupnp-dlna-2.0-4

upgrade: librygel-renderer-2.6-2 librygel-server-2.6-2 rygel

Is it safe to perform an 'apt full-upgrade'?


  How to remove the sim card
Posted by: liberty1234 - 02-08-2022, 01:12 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Hardware - Replies (7)

The question looks stupid but I tried really hard to remove the SIM card but failed on my new PPP
Inserting the SIM card is challenge enough because I am using the adapter for Nano sim card. The adapter is very loose and the card fell out easily.

Now the SIM card is fully inserted but I cannot get the SIM out because it is fully inserted. Does anyone have tips removing the sim card? Thanks!

  J7 battery
Posted by: Frost1776 - 02-07-2022, 09:45 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Hardware - Replies (6)

I put a j7 battery in my PPP it fits but tightly, it's a 3000 just like the stock one. My question is being a little and a different should be good to run right.

It definitely holds a charge longer.
