I work in an industrial setting, and I want my pinetime to last a while.
What screen protector fits?
What else do you recommend to prolong the lifespan of the device?

Hi,

I've experimented with different distros trying to get audio output from the car MMI. Connecting via bluetooth worked fine in all cases, but either I did not get any sound or I was unable to tune up the volume (the car MMI saying "functionality unavailable this time" when turning the volume knob).

Has anyone gotten this to work, and if so, could you let me know which OS you're using?

Hi all,

I am looking to sell my pinephone and want to securely erase it first, what is the best way of doing this?

I am thinking:

• Boot from another distro on an SD card
  
• Run shred on all partitions on the eMMC
  
• Reinstall OS using jump drive image
  

• Is there a better way of doing this?
  
• Is it ok to nuke the eMMC like this or is there firmware, bootloaders etc. on the eMMC that would brick the phone if removed?
  

For an Android phone with pinetime running Infinitime, which app is better or preferred and why?

Hi,

I was wondering whether the explorer editions ships with CE/FCC labels? Maybe someone who already got the pre-EE edition can say that? The wiki also does not state any info about this, yet.

Hi folks,

I noticed a picture on Twitter showing that Manjaro allows showing date and time instead of only time on the header bar in Phosh. Does anybody know what enables this? Is there an option that I'm missing in Mobian? Or a package missing in Mobian to enable this?

Thanks!

Hello,

Configuration : Bookworm ( kernel 5.15 ) up to date.

Sometimes, when I make a call, I could ear the ring tone from the phone called but I have the ring of my phone in the same time, like If someone call me.

Today, a call was cut-off and the phone was ringing like if someone call me. After that I accept the call the talk could be continued. The other person said me that the line was cut-off and he doesn't make anything to call me.

I can't get my Xbox controller to work on Mobian Bookworm, even though it works fine on a Debian Bullseye PC. When I connect it to PinePhone via usb, its led just keeps flashing and games don't detect any input. When I run lsusb, it shows that controller is connected. I also tried with bluetooth and in the app it shows it as connected for a second and then it disconnects.

This is weird, because my PS3 controller works fine on PinePhone. Does anyone know what might be missing or how to fix this?

How are the DIP switches physically wired?  Is there a PCB diagram to prove that they're not just a software trick?

The reason I ask, is that other smartphone vendors have made "hardware privacy claims" that have, many times, proven to be lies... such as cameras with LEDs (except the camera can still be enabled without the LED illuminating) and "sub-dermal blah blah" about fingerprint sensors (which were still bypassed with a gummy bear), and those are just the tip of the iceberg, because about 99% of all "security" claims are never actually verified.  Stick a "printf()" inside the gnupg/openssl/etc prng "seed" function (the code that bypasses system entropy) to see what I mean...
