  How to read GNSS location data on Pinephone
Posted by: eliasjonsson - 11-10-2021, 11:13 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (1)

So I recently bought myself a Pinephone with the aim to use it in one of my projects. I need to read the location data and relay it to another computer. How does one go about getting the location data from the command line interface, CLI?


  Few questions
Posted by: atohmdiy - 11-10-2021, 08:14 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Quartz64 - Replies (1)

Hello,

As i have some bad experiences with bleeding edge sbc boards, i prefer asking a few things before ordering  Smile


My utilization of the quartz would be pretty simple. I will use the rockpro64 premium aluminium case, with a nvme ssd into the u2 port to store some music files, and use it only to be a mpd music player with usb audio output. I would use a very light manjaro linux without graphical interface.

Also i didn't find in the documentation if the board support wake one lan. I want to use an app like duorem to power on / off the device remotely.


Thank you


  UV stabilised/resistant plastic?
Posted by: cmicallef - 11-10-2021, 07:03 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (2)

Hello again!



Another dumb question!



Given my phone tends to get a lot of sun exposure, I've noticed plastic parts have become brittle.



I'm not to fussed by it given I can by spare parts and support Pine64's endeavors but is this a common experience? If so, perhaps this is something that can be taken on board when manufacturing future spare parts and/or the Pinephone Pro (obviously subject to, among other things, cost considerations).



Thanks again!


  Screen and Digitzier
Posted by: cmicallef - 11-10-2021, 06:58 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (2)

Hello,

Two dumb questions!

1. Is the screen and digitizer a combined unit or are they separate?

2. Does (1) in the document below do anything other than protect the screen?
https://files.pine64.org/doc/datasheet/p...%201.0.pdf

I'm asking this because my Braveheart has just started playing up. I have difficulty touching some parts on the lower part of the screen, namely the area where the '6', 'y', 'h' and 'n' keys are located. The fault is intermittent.

If the digitizer is separate and/or (1) handles touch input, I was hoping to disassemble the phone and try re-seat either of them before ordering a replacement screen.

Many thanks in advance!

  Amiga Emulator?
Posted by: StridAst - 11-10-2021, 10:27 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (1)

Has anyone managed to get any Amiga Emulator functioning outside of waydroid or anbox?
.
I suppose I could work through waydroid if needed, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone has beaten me to this.


  Where are my posts???

Generally on these forums one can go to your CP or one's account and  view the posts and threads one has submitted to a discussion. Does this forum support that? Yesterday morning I posted a topic on my PinePhone which was shipped but now has been lost for over a week and I stated in this post until DHL or PinePhone resolves this issue no one should purchase anymore phones. This issue has been going on for many many months and is not resolved. I cannot find this post and appears to have been deleted.


  Mobian kernel upgrade
Posted by: user641 - 11-10-2021, 03:23 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (4)

Is mobian updating the 5.10 kernel with new patches or do we need to update/upgrade manually?
I have a bookworm install


  Some "tricks and tips" for Manjaro Plasma Mobile
Posted by: acrux - 11-10-2021, 02:31 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (1)

1. Keep in mind that PinePhone components were originally not intended to use in mobile phones, so set your expectations accordingly.
2. PinePhone software has not reached even a "release candidate" level, so set your expectations accordingly.
3. The following reflects my experience. Your mileage may vary, so do not blame me if something goes wrong.
4. The PinePhone preloaded Plasma Mobile (PlaMo) operating system may be outdated, so it is good idea to do a fresh start. All information how to install is listed here.
5. Manjaro provides different PlaMo Development Pinephone Images to install. There are Development Pinephone unstable images which are based on KDE unstable branch and Plasma-Mobile "daily build" unstable images which are based on KDE stable branch. However - there could be from time to time several problems with these images (eg non-booting or something broken etc), so it is good idea to test them installing to the sd card.
6. At certain intervals Manjaro team is releasing Beta releases. If you want something that is close to "stable" to install to the eMMC, then I'd recommend to use these. The latest beta is Release Beta 14 and is located here. The announcement is here. Be prepared that for beta the updates are arriving less frequently as it has it's own updates channel.
7. While PlaMo software manager Discover has great potential, it seems that it is not ready yet. It does not list all software and from time to time may fail in some extent in software update. Instead Discover I'd recommend Manjaro commandline tool pacman. So for updates run in Terminal:

Code:
sudo pacman -Syu
8. The same goes for searching, installing and removing programs. Study Manjaro Pacman overview here. For example - to remove closed source (server part) communication program Telegram: sudo pacman -Rsun telegram-desktop
9. If you rely on xmpp&jabber communication, then your options are kaidan and dino(-mobile). Kaidan is native PlaMo software, but not ready yet. There is no multuser chat and message archives are not syncronised correctly. Install it using pacman, as Discover lists an older flatpak version. Dino-mobile was the best choice, unfortunately it is not installable any more. You can try the desktop version but it is not optimised to phone screen.
10. If you need a PlaMo e-mail client, then you are out-of-luck. There was a project Pelikan, but it seems to be stalled. Of course - you can install Geary, but it pulls in much of Gnome packages, so it is more sense to run it under Phosh.

EDIT: This is last update here (June 1st 2023) as my PinePhone found a new user/tester and probably goes to Maemo Leste way...
