| VPN for Arch Linux ARM? |

I'm using ProtonVPN for Ubuntu and noticed it in the AUR for Arch Linux (X86).
Has a VPN with a GUI been successfully installed and used with Arch Linux ARM? What VPNs have been used so far with GUI or with the command line (has ProtonVPN been used with Arch ARM)?

Seems to work normally if plugged in. When running on battery(any state of charge) the pin screen is only up very briefly unless you are constantly touching the screen. On the rare case the phone does unlock, the screen very quickly goes black and locks again.
Pinephone Beta Convergence Edition with as delivered hardware and software. Software updates did not resolve the problem.
Would appreciate any insight about the cause, especially whether this is the same as any already reported issues, or if it is new. Please advise next steps.
It was like this when it was delivered, but now past 30 days because... life. Is a new USB-C board likely to help?

The Android that ships on the PineNote is pretty impressive at showing off the eInk panel on the device, so it's tempting to play around with, but getting past the settings built into EngLauncher, the Home App/Launcher isn't the most straight forward. This android settings are useful if you'd like to get ADB up, or any other settings that aren't exposed via EngLauncher.
To start with, open up the app list, highlighted as 1, then open application management.
Next up, "Application Management" again.
This opens up the Android "App Info" panel, but it doesn't have a search box like much the rest of Settings has, so it can't search to the root of the settings panel. Use the far right 3 dots to "Show System", then search "Settings".
Lastly, click open, and the root of the settings app opens up.

| Phone goes to sleep whilst audio playing |

Has anybody had this problem? If I listen to audio for a while, which I usually do on Rhythmbox, the audio will keep playing, but the phone freezes on a black screen and, in order to turn the audio off and generally access the phone again, I have to hard reboot by pressing the switch button.
I usually listen whilst I walk with the phone in a pocket, so I wonder if it is connected to the screen being "touched" repeatedly?
In any case, what might be the cause, and how to solve it?
I am using 5.13.7-1-Manjaro-ARM, KDE plasma v 5.22.4, 4 processors 2.9 GB ram
Thanks!

| Erasing the eMMC | Pinephone Pro |

After I got the Pinephone Pro I wiped the preinstalled AOSP Image according to PinePhone_Pro Wiki
and afterward tinkered with the Arch Image for some time.
Sometime later I noticed pacman showing me in when updating that I could update uboot:
Code: dd if=/boot/idbloader.img of=/dev/mmcblkX seek=64 conv=notrunc,fsync
dd if=/boot/u-boot.itb of=/dev/mmcblkX seek=16384 conv=notrunc,fsync
and I thought updating uboot might help in someway. I unfortunately wrote the bootloader onto the eMMC(mmcblk2) and uboot wont boot my SD card and now I'm stuck.
I managed to see uboot trying to boot, but failing.
My question is, is there some otherway to wipe the eMMC or is there a way to get into the uboot cmdline to wipe it from there...so that I can boot again from the SD card
My uboot output is this:
Code: U-Boot TPL 2021.10-3 (Dec 11 2021 - 19:16:00)
Channel 0: LPDDR4, 50MHz
BW=32 Col=10 Bk=8 CS0 Row=15 CS1 Row=15 CS=2 Die BW=16 Size=2048MB
Channel 1: LPDDR4, 50MHz
BW=32 Col=10 Bk=8 CS0 Row=15 CS1 Row=15 CS=2 Die BW=16 Size=2048MB
256B stride

lpddr4_set_rate: change freq to 800000000 mhz 1, 0
Trying to boot from BOOTROM
Returning to boot ROM...
U-Boot SPL 2021.10-3 (Dec 11 2021 - 19:16:00 +0000)

I wanted to share with other noobies that I paired a blutooth keyboard with my Pine64 running Ubuntu Touch and it was able to type to notes and the web browser without any problems. I did not try terminal but it should also work. Hope this helps.

| Battery discharge problem |

Hi,
I have received my Pine Phone Pro last week, Dec. 15th. I switched it on, and played a bit with the pre-installed Android system. The battery was at 100%. Then I switched it off.
Today I got a micro SD card, and switched the PPP on to start the installation process, but he refused to boot. The battery was completely discharged.
So I have three questions:
1) Is this expected?
2) If the provided battery is broken, what should I do? Is there compatible batteries I can buy here in France, or do I have to buy a battery at Pine64?
3) And do I have to buy a battery charger at Pine64, or do compatible battery chargers exist?
Thanks in advance for any answer.
