Hi. I have a pinephone pro. When I turn on the phone as soon as i login to OS the phone shuts down making a small noise from the speakers and sometimes it goes to black screen (no shutdown). This happens when it operates with the battery. If I plugin the charger boots normally. I tried this with OS phosh (mobian and Kali Linux) installed in emmc and also on SD card. I have tried with original battery and Samsung EB-BJ700CBE battery. Any help????

Hello ,

i am interested in the makerspace product here


https://pine64.com/product/pinepower-120...u-version/


what i am asking is there an easy way to disable the Wireless charging feature when one does not want to use it since no use or no devices available?

like a dedicated button?
could not find any useful info in this regard;



thank you very much.

Hello, I'm new to the forum
Does anyone know how to turn off the computer when it keeps asking for a password? Help me!

- Does this table not show how great office applications would be on the Pinephone?

- There is also a lot work behind this table of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org.

- But is pulling the Pinephone keyboard from the market not an act of sabotage against office applications on the Pinephone?

I have pinephone (KDE plasma mobile)

it drains battery very quickly (6 to 8 hours)
even if I don't use phone and it is in standby mode
display is turning off after 1 minute as set in power settings

but I think that some system process is not turning of when phone is not used
and it drains power from battery.
How can i check which program is still runing
discharging battery ? is there any program for checking system activity ?

Problem: my PinePhone started only showing a black screen with backlight on, however it is booting fine

Events: I was listening to music when the display went black, and the phone continued to play the music. There was no update to software or damage to the phone.

Research: I have read posts on this forum, reddit, the Pine64 PinePhone FAQ, and I read the postmarketOS PinePhone wiki.

Software: postmarketOS v24.06 with gnome-mobile

Troubleshooting:

• I restarted the PinePhone and removed the battery
  
• I made sure the battery was fully charged
  
• I reinstalled postmarketOS using JumpDrive
  
• I edited the installation image to turn on SSH, the PinePhone is booting properly
  
• I checked that /sys/class/backlight/backlight/brightness wasn't somehow set to zero (it is 1567)
  

The following video shows that an usb keyboard and mouse work in the shown configuration:

But small usb keyboards for mobile use are hard to find. I only found one from Poland from which I do not know if it is still avaiable.

A device which is also known to have issues with Bluetooth peripherials is the Orange Pi 5.

Crosstalk solution shows a kit especially for the Orange Pi 5. on YouTube:

https://kit.co/crosstalk/orange-pi-5

It shows a wireless dual mode Bluetooth Rii (Upgrade) i4 Mini Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad, Blacklit Portable Wireless Keyboard with 2.4G USB Dongle for Smartphones, PC, Table:

https://www.amazon.com/Rii-Bluetooth-Key...B07T13GLY3

Should a keyboard with a 2.4G USB dongle which is included with the mini keyboard not work as a USB keyboard?

I invested a lot of time in reviewing the Pinphone to edit text and compared it to other devices which are on the market for this purpose:

https://petergamma.org/selected-office-a...-zero-2-w/

But now that I found that it is device which is suitable for this purpose, the Pinephone keyboard has been pulled from the Pine 64 store. The only keyboard I know which has been confirmed to work by wibble is the 10 year oldGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard for BlackBerry and Other PDA/Handhelds:

https://www.amazon.ca/Igo-Stowaway-Ultra...B0002OKCXE

But who wants to fold up the keyboard every time he writes a text? It sould in principle be possible to solder a keyboard to the POGO pins of the Pinephone. But small wired keyboards are very difficult to find. And the developers of the Pinephone Keyboard have already solved this problem.
And now it is not avaible again. What a pity.

All my hard work for the Pinephone in vain, such as install LibreOffice and reviewing it on my site for mobile office:

Since editing text on the Pinephone without a handy keyboard does not make any sense for me personally. So which keyboard you suggest to use?

In the linux/PC world, most distros are live.  The live version has an install icon - making it easy
for the user to install onto the hard drive.  I'm curious to know the status in the linux/smartphone world.
Which "smartphone" distros are easy to test, and then, install on the PP?  User-friendly distros are a plus.
(p.s. I'm not a geek - just an advanced power user - and want to distro-hop on the PP.)

Thank in advanced for any help/tip.

Hi, noob here.  I have a PineTime watch which I've had for about two weeks.  I charged it on receipt and have been wearing ever since. 

Initially I was able to set it so that it woke up the display on raising my wrist; however yesterday that stopped working.  In the settings there is also an option to wake up with a single or double tap.  Neither of these works.  The watch can be woken by pressing the button, so it seems to be working OK otherwise - but does the refusal to be woken by a movement or a tap indicate that the accelerometer has failed?

Is accelerometer failure a known/likely occurence?  I've seen it mentioned once on the board.

Or could there be another issue; maybe re-starting the watch would help?  If so, can anyone suggest how to do that?

For background, this is a sealed device working with the KiActiv app on Android; so I only have access to the watch functions; KiActive should be receiving movement data for analysis offline.
