I'm trying to make the switch from an iPhone over to my new PinePhone, but when I insert my Verizon US sim card from the iPhone, the PinePhone doesn't seem to register that it is there. Do I need to get a new standard size sim card to make this work? I used the adapter thing, which was difficult at best, but looked like it went in there straight.
I am running Debian bullseye with a self-compiled kernel. The last working version I have available is kernel 5.12.12.
I now decided to try a more recent kernel and compiled kernel 5.15. Booting this kernel results in a garbled display.
To check whether the display still worked fine with older versions, I tried kernel 5.14.14 (which I am using for another RK3399 device). The same result, garbled display.
Please see the attached image for what the garbled display looks like.
It's not damaged hardware: the display works perfectly with kernel 5.12.12. It's not something in the DT: kernel 5.15 still results in a garbled display with the DT from kernel 5.12.12 and kernel 5.12.12 with the DT from kernel 5.15 gives a working display.
I did not spot any difference in the kernel configurations that seemed likely to cause the issue. I am not applying any patches to the kernel.
I got to run postmarket OS one time, but as they make a UNIX login, I didn't know the password. I've been using Arch Linux on the X86_64 normally with Plasma and now NONE of the system in the list at pine64-software-site doesn't boot, no matter if I use the tool on the SD-Card nor with dd, nor with balenaETCHER. Should there be some bootloader unlocked or anything like this? I'd really like to have my favorite system on a mobile.
If someone else recovers this error (and I think it is a lot of people), I also ask in their name what to do? FreeBSD isn't able to turn on, too.
I got several apps, in which menus don't work. E.g. "Feeds" (RSS Reader):
The menu is showing, but when tapping on any menu entry, the menu simply disappears. Therefore I can't import an OPML file.
"News Flash" (also RSS Reader) shows exactly the same behaviour:
The menu shows, but tapping on any menu entry causes the menu to disappear. Neither here I can import an OPML file.
Currently I'm on Pinephone KDE (Manjaro/Plasma Mobile):
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.14.10-1-MANJARO-ARM
I'm sorry for the poor quality of the screenshot. The fading doesn't seem to work correctly yet, when using the built-in screenshot app.
My name is Seb and i would like to make ringtones , notification sounds anything sound related that comes out of the speakers for the best OS on pinephone Mobian! :-)
Not that i think the default sounds are bad but i think they can be better :-)
I make music/sounds/commercials for 20 years now , i have my own studio and record label , i have time and motivation.
I dont know how to contact the right person. If anyone could help me plz :-)
Hope to do something back for the best SMARTphone!
My audio stopped working today. No sound from the speaker and, if I switch to the earpiece, no sound from that either. Restarting the phone doesn't fix it. I imagine that this is because of a recent update.
Anyone have experience with this and know a way to get it working again?
Bought 4 Rock64 v 2.0 boards. Visually, they look identical.
Objective: 2 clusters, high availability
cluster one - pihole running Armbian
cluster two - NFS server running FreeBSD
I was able to get the Armbian systems working with pihole without issue.
1. On FreeBSD, only one of the 4 boards will recognize the 1-gig ethernet. The other three boards don't work. I can take the SDCard out of the working machine and place it in any of the other three machines - no ethernet.
2. If I manually downgrade the 1-gig connection to 100 MB, it works.
3. Verified 1-gig works on all four boards under Armbian
4. This led me to believe that a "plug-in" kernel hack is needed to instruct FreeBSD how to properly use this hardware. I contacted FreeBSD-ARM and FreeBSD-USB forum. No solution. They suspect this is a hardware bug. I asked if their is a software band-aid such as a kernel overlay - no response. No response from the forum typically means everyone was thinking "I don't personally know of a kernel overlay for that, so I'm not speaking up". No answer typically means no.
5. Tried to OpenBSD/NetBSD - can't even get it installed w/o serial console configuration (which I didn't have on-hand); ---or--- they also experienced the problem and just didn't connect to Ethernet.
Question for Pine64 team and anyone/everyone who reads this:
Can anyone confirm that this is related to: minor differences in hardware, faulty hardware --or-- u-boot misconfiguration, etc.. I just want to put a period on the end of this sentence. I've worked hard to resolve this and successfully got 1 working; but not the other 3. All 4 of them run Armbian w/o any issue. Only 1 will run BSD.
I'm trying to get swmo installed. I've tried by flasing the sxmo edge and 21.06 postmarketOS/sxmo images, logging in, connecting to wifi, cloning https://git.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-build, then running "./sxmo-build-all.sh --wayland". Everything runs through seemingly fine with no errors. But after I reboot I only get a console login and can't use the phone.
Has anyone gotten this installed and working? Any advice?
I'm planning to order a PinePhone soon. One thing I'd like to have a guarantee of is that the device will be delivered to my door and I'm not asked to go pick it up. To be honest this is mainly due to the whole COVID paranoia going on... let's just say I'm not a fan of the new norm and am not looking to pick fights in mass transit because someone expects me to wear NWO accessories on my face, I prefer staying in my home having little to do with the outside world and only going out to local shops when needed. The problem is that based on my experiences ordering from eBay in the past that some products arrive at a post office in the city center, I often had to go there to pick it up and they'd ask for additional money to be paid upfront, it's very far so there's no way of getting there on foot. I live in Romania, Bucharest (the capital).
Can people from different countries (especially Europe and Romania) share their experience with the delivery process please? Did you receive a notice by mail to go somewhere and pick up the device, or did the mailman bring it at your doorstep as I'm hoping will be the case here? It seems the huge additional shipping fees are calculated when placing an order for the PinePhone on the website (150$ becomes 200$ for this reason) so I'm hoping it includes any and every fee anyone could possibly want.
