Hello, is there a podcast that turns around mobian?

Posted by: iwm - 01-05-2022, 02:01 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - No Replies

Siglo won't come up on the PPPro.

i'm running Manjaro/Phosh Dev on both phones. Updated daily.

The MegaPixel app won't come up using the PPPro.   It does activate on the PPBeta.

I'm using Manjaro/Phosh Dev on both and update daily.


  Still having problems w. Calls app - Speaker Phone not usable
Posted by: iwm - 01-05-2022, 01:32 PM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (3)

Been having problems with the PPP and the PP speaker for phone call.  
Seems to have a lot of echos and the sound of running water.  

The other interface (without speaker) works fine but still cuts out occasionally.

These are designated J1-J7 in the schematics. and have a name given as INS18014672, which I can't find any reference for.

  Proposed feature: Flashlight mode
Posted by: Arwen - 01-05-2022, 08:38 AM - Forum: PineNote Software - Replies (4)

Most smart phones that have back facing cameras with flash, support a flashlight feature. Most of us could use the feature on occasion. I have actually used it once about 2 weeks ago, simply because my phone was in my jacket pocket and I did not have a flashlight handy. (Okay, the one in my vehicle was less than 5 feet from me, but hey, that would caused me to open my vehicle, open the glove box and then reverse when done.)

So, I propose a PineNote flashlight feature:

  • Makes most, (or all), of the screen white
  • Turns on all the front lights
  • Allow turning off with a swipe on screen
  • Perhaps any button press would turn the feature off

Checking the PineNote Wiki, it does not mention if the audio has up / down buttons, or if the power button is detectable. But, if any buttons do exist, have them detect short duration presses and shut off flashlight mode.

Nor does the PineNote Wiki indicate if the front LEDs for warm & cold are different devices, or the same. But, in any case, get the maximum brightness out of them. (User would understandably have to assume using up some / all of the battery charge. But, that may be more important than reading / using the PineNote at that time.)

Of course the amount of people that would use this is likely few. But, it should be simple enough to implement.


A while back when I was still using a feature phone, (aka more than a dumb cell-phone, but not smart / Android), it did not support a flash light mode. However, I have a Kindle Voyage with good front LEDs, (10 I think). So it would have been nice to have a flashlight mode for that Kindle. It can kinda work as is, but any black text would absorb some of the light. Best case, make a 1 page book with no black text and use that for "flashlight" mode.


  Cross compilation for Mobian
Posted by: nicolapcweek94 - 01-05-2022, 08:33 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (3)

As a heavy emacs user and early adopter of both the pinephone and the keyboard cover that I've ordered as soon as it was made available, I'd really like to get a build of the latest emacs tree (with PGTK and nativecomp patches, which should really help with both performance and mobile compatibility) going, especially with the keyboard on its way.

I have extensive experience with building emacs itself, both with and without the patches, for amd64. I have no idea how to setup a cross compiler toolchain to build a arm64 package for the pinephone on my amd64 server, though, especially with the gcc toolchain which is supposedly harder to setup for cross compilation.

I'm also looking to setup the whole thing as a repo with a weekly or daily build job, if the repo setup doesn't require too much maintenance, which I'd gladly share if anyone's interested.

Does anyone have any pointers?


Question Powering the modem after turning off the smartphone
Posted by: Mikoduso - 01-05-2022, 06:41 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (3)

Hello.

I don't understand well in block diagrams, but looking at "PinePhone v1.2b Released Schematic.pdf" I see that the modem is connected directly to the battery.

Will the modem have power after turning off the smartphone?


  Kali Linux on SD card boot

I tried crtl alt f1 and able to get into cmd line console and able to login with default credentials 


Anyone can advice what is wrong with the GUI login?


  Mainline MMS Support??
Posted by: tyha - 01-05-2022, 12:03 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

I've been checking the Mobian wiki every month or so to see if the MMS workarounds have been mainlined, so that it no longer required as much manual intervention, but I haven't really seen any changes there as I've been waiting for that to happen before trying to install for a daily driver try.

Then I read the Mobian blog post that seems to indicate that they have Pinephone pro working with MMS being fully functional with the use of the eg25 manager.

Does anyone know if this means that the wiki is out of date and the workarounds are no longer needed?
