  How do I import SIM card contacts?
Posted by: Logological - 01-17-2022, 01:57 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (8)

How do I make the contacts stored on my SIM card visible to my PinePhone, or import them into whatever system it uses?

When I launch the "Phone" app, the "Contacts" tab simply says "No contacts have a phone number yet".  And if I instead launch the "Phonebook" app, it just says "No contacts" and the only way of adding one is to manually fill in a form.

I searched the forum and found a few other threads on this topic but it seems what the questioners are really asking about is contacts stored as VCF files on an SD card, not contacts stored on a SIM card.


  Unexpected pre-delivery phone call
Posted by: Neil_Brown - 01-17-2022, 01:34 PM - Forum: General Discussion of PinePhone Pro - Replies (5)

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.


  Any UK Pinephone users making telephone calls?
Posted by: GrapeJuice - 01-17-2022, 12:27 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (4)

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

Grape

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


  opensnitch outbound firewall now works on mobian

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.


  how to update mobian over tor
Posted by: vusra - 01-17-2022, 12:38 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (14)

Code:
sudo apt install apt-transport-tor  tor

 Edit  /etc/apt/sources.list  as root

Code:
sudo nano  /etc/apt/sources.list   

Make it look as


Code:
#deb  http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main
deb  tor://2s4yqjx5ul6okpp3f2gaunr2syex5jgbfpfvhxxbbjwnrsvbk5v3qbid.onion/debian bookworm main

Edit  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extrepo_mobian.sources  as root

Code:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extrepo_mobian.sources

and put    tor+  in front of  the https://repo.mobian-project.org/   url

Code:
Uris: tor+https://repo.mobian-project.org/





Who knows why mobian doesn't use the debian-security repository by default?   My mate says it is a good idea to add it to /etc/apt/sources.list

Code:
deb  tor://5ajw6aqf3ep7sijnscdzw77t7xq4xjpsy335yb2wiwgouo7yfxtjlmid.onion/debian-security bookworm-security main


  Setting mode to docked with keyboard?
Posted by: johns - 01-16-2022, 09:51 PM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (1)

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.)

  Mobian updates for phosh
Posted by: steves - 01-16-2022, 07:04 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

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?

  Case compatibility
Posted by: JD1er - 01-16-2022, 03:52 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Accessories - Replies (3)

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
