I recently purchased a 3 GB convergence edition pinephone and much as I like KDE Plasma on the desktop, I found it rather slow and frequently lagging, so I tried to test Mobian-Posh.
Sadly, the phone never actually boots from the SD card, I'm always greeted by the spinning KDE gear.
fdisk -l and lsblk on the phone do list the SD card.
I put the latest Mobian, Ubuntu Touch and PostmarketOS as well as an old Mobian build (see below) onto the card with either bmaptool or dd, without any issues, though none of them boots.
These threads from various forums

suggest that this is due to the convergence edition having 3 GB of RAM but apparently displaying it internally as 4, which the builds have to take into account.
However, these threads are from 2020 so I can hardly imagine that this is still the issue. They also mention a Mobian 3rd September 2020 nightly build which works, however it is not listed anymore and the closest thing I found was the 5th September 2020 non-nightly release, though it also did not work.

A very recent thread

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=15703

describes the SD card not working on a 3 GB model, though since it is at least found in my case, I am not sure how related this issue is.

Thanks a lot in advance for any help!

Trying to activate my Pinephone with Danctnix/phosh using a Mint SIM. It is showing full bars and a 3G/4G alternating symbol, but data shows an 'x' and I'm not able to do calls or texts. In the Access Point setting screen I've added "Ultra"/"Wholesale" and "Mint"/"Wholesale" according to instructions I've found in a few places, but neither one has brought about successful calls. Is there someplace to enter the other configuration data Mint offers?

This might be on the Mint/T-Mo end, I had trouble with connectivity with the previous phone I tried to activate with, but that was okay for calls just data trouble. I'll call up a Mint rep, but I have a feeling they won't have info on what to do with various PinePhone OSs...

When I open Software I see no apps and am unable to search for any. I've flashed and re-flashed my pinephone with the latest installer image and the app store still doesn't have any apps. I've also run apk upgrade -a  and apk fix. Neither has worked to fix this. Does anyone have  fix for this or do I need to try and submit a bug report?

Hello all. I am using a 4gb rock64 for monero node and p2pool. P2pool uses Randomx for faster sync, and it needs Hugepages. What's the optimal Hugepages settings for this device?

I am trying to sync my notes via the nextcloud app but I have a hard time finding where the notes are stored on the pinenote. When exported they end up in the internal storage/Note but where are the originals ? 

Thanks in advance

Another newbie question... so I'm still playing around with my new keyboard - how do I disable the on-screen keyboard from popping up, I don't need it and it really gets in the way. I've run a search here but couldn't see anything. Running stock Manjaro/plasma mobile.

Is the analog sound working in any of the Linux versions currently available? Armbian currently doesn't seem to, as the sound driver for the H6 doesn't seem to be all there yet. Has anybody gotten this working?

Ok, this is odd and I don't know if it is the keyboard clam shell case (henceforth, "keyboard") or an interaction with a problem with Manjaro Phosh and the keyboard.

I am using Manjaro Phosh Beta 20.0 with the English (US) keyboard layout (Input method).

According to the keyboard key prints. for Fn+1 - Fn+0, I should see the following when I type: | \ £ € ~ . - = - +

Instead  what I see is: \ \ $ € ' ' - = - =  Note both the missing symbols and the repetitions.  If I switch to German, I get some different characters, but the same pattern of repetitions.

Anyone else seeing this?  Please identify which OS you are using.

I saw on the wiki that the Explorer Edition is targeted at "early adopters". Does this mean a more "mass market" model is in development?
