I ordered a Rii 4 with a 2.4 Ghz usb dongle and connected it to the Pinephone via usb to usb-c cable

This keyboard is one of the most interesting keyboards for the Pinephone for me personally if it works.

I suppose it is with lesser issues than Bluetooth

But it was not possible to pair the keyboard to the dongle as described above.

Then I tried to use a usb keyboard and mouse.

Here are examples which show that this works with the PP:

All of these examples use a usb-c dock

And here is a list of 3.th party docks which work with the Pinephone and keyboard and mouse:

I tested previously 3 cheap usb docks I bought on Aliexpress.

HDMI out worked with none of them.

keyboard and mouse worked with one of those, but I could not reproduce it today

usb-c adapters are tricky  Sometimes I need to turn those around to get it to work.

I recently saw that is possible to read and write to an usb flash drive with an Android phone:

But it needs to be an OTG drive, and the right configuration in Android.

Do you have experience with these kind of adapters?

Does it need to be an OTG adapter for keyboard and mouse?

And does it need to be powered?

Would this work on the PBPro?

Hello,
I just got my Pinebook Pro, set it up and booted for the first time. When logging, the speakers made an audio ringing sound that ended shortly after start up with a pop.

The audio issue does this before or after attempting to use audio. I tested this with videos from YouTube as well as files via. VLC player.

Any advice to fix this problem?

I'm updating danctnix on my PT2 for the first time in a while. 

pacman -Syu

prompts me as such:

:: Starting full upgrade ...
:: Replace futuresql-qt6 with extra/futuresql? [Y/n]   (took default)
:: futuresql-0.1.1-3 and futuresql-qt5 are in conflict.  Remove futuresql-qt5? [y/N]  (took default)
:: futuresql-0.1.1-3 and futuresql-qt5-0.1.1-2 are in conflict

and that's it. 

I suspect the QT6 upgrade has made its way into Danctnix?  Does anyone know which version I need in order to move forward here?  I updated my keys using pacman-keys, so this should be the latest updates.

Also, has danctnix adopted the QT5 -> QT6 transition?   Is it stable?

Thanks.

Hi,

I wanted to give postmarketOS a try, but now I'm a bit confused:

Hello,
I bought the Pinetab2 to manage my bees at the apiary. For this I need the built-in camera.

Unfortunately the built-in camera cannot be found.

I just received a new PinePhone Pro.
This is installed with Postmarket OS.
Postmarket OS starts normally. The SIM card installation is recognized. Entering the passcode is not possible; 123456 does not work.

Users complained that LibreOffice is not usable on the Pinphone screen. 

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...614&page=4

But in the following video it looks quiet usable starting from 5:15 in the video.

It is Arch Linux ARM with LXDE on PinePhone Pro. Is LibreOffice pre-installed and somehow adapted here? What are your thoughts about this?

My current trouble with the PP is getting worse. For the last two weeks I had to check whether it lost the modem and whether it was time to reboot again. It would happen usually after a few hours. Then the periods when it would see its modem grew shorter and shorter. The last time I got it to communicate was on 7th, when I specifically rebooted it to make a call. That worked, and ten minutes later I couldn't make another call.

Two days ago I tried a few things, but now it not only doesn't turn the modem on anymore, it claims I don't have any sim card. This card worked fine for almost two years in this phone, and about three years in the old Nokla E5 before.

Today I tried to move the sim card to my wife's phone (no good, its slots are wider), so I put it back into my PP... and now it lost the battery too. The SD card is regularly there, megi's multi distro still boots off it.

So I'm giving up. I won't try to fix this. It was a nice adventure, but, frankly, the community can do only so much, and the Pine manufacturer has gone away to other projects too fast too far, so I feel the PP is simply an orphan now.

So, what now... Well, a while ago I was looking into a way to install Manjaro Phosh (or anything else Phosh) onto my daughter's old Samsung S5, which already has TWRP on it, so I think I only need an .img or .iso file... and while it's true that you can find anything on the internet, there's the notorious exception: you can't find twice. Been trying all morning and can't find it. Manjaro.org is undergoing maintenance, perhaps it's there somewhere but just can't reach it at the moment.

Perhaps someone here would know where to find such a distro...
