I've ordered a PinePhone Pro, to be delivered to the United Kingdom.

This morning, I got an unexpected call from someone claiming to work for DHL, explaining that VAT / duties were due.

They knew my name, the email address I had used with PINE64's store, and my phone number.

They followed up with an email, linking to the DHL.co.uk website (which I verified). The email headers looked fine.

The waybill number shows on the DHL parcel tracking site, delivering to approximately the right area.

For whatever reason, I could not see any content on the DHL payment website unless I enabled "performance" cookies. Poor config, since at least something was clearly necessary to display the page.

It all appears to add up, other than the fact I have not had a shipping notification about the phone, and I paid the £70ish charge seemingly required of me.

Just in case others have the same experience.

Hi There.
Posted in Software and think this might now be a hardware issue.
I have used an EE and 3 sim in the pinephone and tested it on Manjaro Phosh, KDE, Ubuntu Touch and Mobian.

Always the same results. Calls go to my other mobile and it can call, and connect to my Pinephone. There is no audio heard or received at either end.

The microphone works - tested on speech recorded. The speaker works - tested on music/video playback....

Any thought? Would love to know if anyone has used these sim providers/setups and actually had a successful call. Then I know i can speak to Pine64 about a replacement..


Cheers

Has anyone got  briar-desktop running on mobian? https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar-desktop

https://briarproject.org/how-it-works/ Briar  is a decentralized  peer to peer  messenger.   Please share your arm64 build instructions.

Update.
Brair project is now releasing an arm64 nightly-build tar. Not touch friendly. https://code.briarproject.org/briar/bria..._linux_arm

open snitch outbound firewall now works on mobian with the  5.15 kernel.  librem5 users
 have had this available longer. Important tool to protect your privacy and security.    Phosh  can handle the pop up windows better. The time limit drop down menu  opensnitch-ui displays is cut off. Hard to scroll down and choose until reboot or forever.

With the keyboard case attached, is there a way to force docked mode in phosh? At least in Mobian, the Undocked icon is greyed out. Don't really want the OSK popping up automatically when the keyboard is attached.

(I know I can disable the OSK in accessibility settings, but that also makes the icon to manually summon the keyboard disappear.)

Howdy,
This is likely a very stupid question... However, I've been keeping my pinephone up to date running mobian via `apt-get update; apt-get full-upgrade`, and have noticed that it's still on phosh 0.11.0-1mobian1, when the latest phosh is 0.14.1. Also looking at debian the latest stable is 0.08.0, and the latest unstable is 0.13.1.

Why is phosh stuck at such an old version or is there something wrong with my mobian updates?

Is there some development for the MATE DE to be implemented on the pine phone?

Hello, everyone
in the wiki (link 1) and the announcements made, it is considered that the accessory boxes (such as the fingerprint reader and the keyboard) and the screen protector (link 4)are compatible with both the original Pinephone and the new one.

However, the question that I did not see answered is about the protective boxes (link 2 and 3). Are they compatible? ( because it seem the new one is a little thicker)
If anyone knows i'm sure i'm not the only one with this question.
Otherwise, if someone already has an original pinephone with the case in question and who intends to order the Pro, an update upon receiving the new Pinephone Pro could also respond to the question.

Thanks in advance for all of you

It's been a while since I used my pine phone (original ubports editing). Decided to dust it if yesterday, installed the latest stable build I could find, then updated too the latest development build. 805 has been working great. Now that I have not tested any cellular functionally, but everything else seems to work great. I was able to add a Google account. Now my calendar,
 and contacts are up to date. The Gmail app works. The music player works (on board speaker is not great, but pair it to a bt speaker and it sounds great. That leads me to the next point, Bluetooth seems to work. Wifi works and stays connected with the screen off. The only problem with the wifi seems to be that it promptis for a password when you leave the wifi range and come back. Battery seems pretty good, although having it on overnight, even in sleep will drain it. Maybe soon work is still need on deep sleep.

I was also able to install syncthing and get it to sync my music to my SD card. Awesome.

I just downloaded and installed 807. Will give that a whirl and report back if I notice and differences.
