Hi guys,

So ive managed to get the pinephone making and receiving call in the UK, where i'm based. The problem is that every time the phone restarts or is switched off, it forgets ALL the settings needed for cellular calls, and even the wallpaper settings! (This is when an update requires reboot/power lost due to battery drain etc)

I therefore need to do the following every time:

Set UK EE  cellular data APN for VoLTE

add Minicom (via pkcon install) and setup:
    AT+qdai=1,0,0,1,0,1,1,1
    AT+qmbncfg="select","VoLTE-ATT"
    AT+qcfg="ims",1
    AT+cfun=1,1 (to reboot modem)

set ALSAMixer Playback and Capture settings to appropriate levels (They are always maxed out to 100% and cause feedback/noise)

Test with:
    AT+qtts=2,"welcome to test" to make sure audio is ok

Then it works like a charm...

So, my question is... Is this anyone else's mileage and if so, can i script this setup? (I read minicom is hard to script) Or is there a way to bake the settings into the modem/software?

OR
Do I have a faulty pinephone?

Thanks for any thoughts - loving this little toy!!

I did post this initially in the accessories section but I'm raising it again because I've bought a second TS-100 tip from a different supplier (Amazon) and I've got the same issue as the one I bought from Banggood.

Both TS-100 Tips show 300 degress tip temperature when it's only 29 degrees (I'm holding the tip in my hand) and the power goes down to 1 watt because it thinks the tip it hot enough. 

I have compared the electrical circuit of the TS-100 tips to my original Pinecil one and it is different,  on the Pinecil original the top connector ring nearest the tip is isolated from the body of the tip whereas the TS-100 tip has the top ring shorted out to the body.

Can someone who has a TS-100 tip just check if their's is the same as I'm assuming this is why they don't work correctly.

Cheers,
Phil

Hello,

I've got a RockPro64 with NAS case, and I'm willing to use it mainly as a NAS. OpenMediaVault seems the logical option, and the wiki link to a github repository (https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build) which seems interesting but maintained by a single person and which has not seen any update since last summer.

While I appreciate the work done, I think that Armbian with OpenMediaVault installed above it seems a more future-proof option. Armbian offers latest Debian/Ubuntu released (I'll most probably go with Debian), and I see that video and 3D acceleration are available (the NAS will be placed next to video projector, so it will be useful).

Thus I would like some feedback: is there any drawback to use Armbian directly for OMV, is there any reason to use the repository linked in the wiki instead?

Thanks!

I want to try my hand at building an kernel for a PinePhone Pro and I was wondering if someone can help me with documentation manuals for the hardware. I've found the schematic on the wiki but I would like to find software reference manuals for the different hardware pieces and documentation about the firmware on the phone(at least the requirements for making the emmc/sd card recognizable as a boot device).

I plan to run this as a docker machine with Jellyfin and before I by it I was wondering what the support was like with the gpu and transcoding.

Looking into the GPU it looks like it supports all of the encoding and decoding of most types but I couldn't find it works with Jellyfin or anything about the performance of it like how many videos at one time, ect....

Is there a way to delete APN settings ? I've got no sms support since i've set it up and would prefer sms over internet for now ...

They're so tiny I need a magnifying glass to see what's going on! Is there some plastic in the way? How do I turn them on and off?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am able to connect to the pinephone through USB from my laptop, but then I have no internet connexion
from my laptop.

The mobile data on the pinephone is enabled. Within a ssh session I can ping google as an example.

What am i missing ?

Also, I noticed that my FAI is only giving me an ipv6 address :

The command in the title above removes a file that keeps pacman from running updates.  Question is what is causing this to keep setting over and over and how to prevent it occurring.

I have used this several times but the lock keeps coming back.  Why???
