Hi,

I wonder if anyone who has successfully booted some OS on their Quartz64 attempted to do some power consumption measures. Measures in idle and under full load would be very welcome!

A good friend of mine has put together a Qutebrowser config file which pretty much mixes anonymity, privacy, and performance into 1 thing.
I tried this on my PinePhone and I was blown away by how fast and light the browser suddenly felt.
The creator of this config file doesn't speak any English, so I'll just provide some free shilling.

The file: https://git.076.ne.jp/TechnicalSuwako/do.../config.py

In a nutshell:
1. Blocks all hostnames owned by Google, Fakebook, and Twitter. One line that's commented out blocks all of them + CloudFlare, but since blocking CloudFlare breaks 90% of the entire internet, he decided not to block it by default.
2. Makes browser fingerprint as generic as possible.
3. Blocks ads very hardcore (uses Brave's block list alongside a couple of custom ones, the trade off is that the browser takes much longer to boot though, also requires "adblock" from pip to function).
4. Disables Javascript by default (though allows some exceptions with examples so you can add whatever exception you want).
5. Goes over the Tor network by default (therefore you need to install the "tor" package via apt-get).
6. Remaps the open in new tab, back, and forward bindings to make it usable with Squeekboard.
7. DuckDuckGo as default search engine (though option exists to enable Yacy instead).
8. Bindings to enable/disable Javascript and Tor routing at any time.
9. Bindings to download media using wget (you need to adjust the path by yourself though), download YouTube videos using yt-dlp (so yt-dlp is required) or open them in VLC.
10. Bindings to open in private window.
11. Always uses "low end device mode", so it uses far less RAM.
12. Saves all the tabs you have open automatically when you close the browser.
13. Bindings to copy image URL.
14. Uses KDE Breeze's color scheme for the UI (which you can hide using keybindings).

Hello, is there a podcast that turns around mobian?

PineTime pairs w. PPBeta

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.

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.

Hi 
Can anyone tell me the supplier / part number for the vertical DDR3l 204 pn sockets used on the cluster board?
These are designated J1-J7 in the schematics. and have a name given as INS18014672, which I can't find any reference for.
Regards
Pierre

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
  

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?

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?
