Does anyone know if the phone is connected to both Wi-Fi and has mobile data turned on is it smart enough to use Wi-Fi? I am always on Wi-Fi and just got a note from my provider claiming I've used half my data. I'm running Mobian, with the necessary patches to receive MMS messages (I mention this because I think the MMS eats into my data, even though it's supposed to be unlimited text). Any help is appreciated!

In the wiki I only see mentioned that it uses the ST7789 display controller.

And that it's an 240×240 pixels IPS capacitive touchscreen, RGB 65K colors.

And there is a CAD model https://files.pine64.org/doc/datasheet/p...0Panel.jpg

But which exact LCD model is it? I am not asking about the controller, I am asking about the LCD itself.

Thanks in advance!

Here's how we read the Internal Temperature Sensor on PineCone BL602 and PineDio Stack BL604... And transmit to The Things Network via LoRaWAN

Internal Temperature Sensor on BL602

Hi there! I have copied the title of the thread (link below) started by @merlin - as its content gives nearly an exact match.

My phone's modem does not register to a carrier/provider anymore, after doing so successfully for about 9 months.

I've tested
- on several distributions consecutively flashed to eMMC (manjaro, mobian, arch)
- with two sim cards of different providers/carriers (working fine in other mobile phones)

While @merlin stated in his solution 'The connector was lying next to the plug' (referring to an antenna issue),
I could not see any lose cable or connector after removing the midframe. Which antenna, anyway? The one for Wlan?
I thought the modem's cellbroadcast related antennas are integrated into the midframe as a coating. Any suggestions?

It froze...
I couldn't do nothing more... Just press the power-button and restart.
Who knows what was/is the problem?

Hello,

I've been using Manjaro on my PBP, but coming from a Ubuntu background decided to give Armbian a try. I managed to first install Armbian Focal (directly from armbian.com) first on a USB thumbdrive, then from emmc, both successful - but then I decided try Armbian Hirsuite directly on emmc. I booted from the USB drive (Armbian Focal) and wrote the (unxz'd) image to /dev/mmcblk2 (only mmcblk device).

And now it doesn't boot. Here's the weird thing: I don't even see the usual Uboot messages flash by... did I manage to break it somehow? I thought writing to /dev/mmcblkX (no suffix) would write only to the "user" part.

The PBP doesn't change it's behaviour if I try booting off the USB thumbdrive. That drive is unchanged from the time I did the write to emmc, so it should be good in theory.

The power LED does indicate something is happening, luckily. From the (presumed) off state, pressing the power button a few seconds turns the LED on, first red, then shortly after green. If I tap the power button again a bit after, the LED goes off again after a short delay.

Any advice? If I can fix this without opening the case that'd be great, but I'm not too afraid to open it up either, and can wire myself a UART adapter if I have to (Waveshare CP2102 board, I just need to find a spare 3.5mm stereo jack in my parts bin). Or would even be pushing the reset button suffice?

Thank you for any hints!

I get a flashing notification light when the phone is entering low power mode. This is something that I absolutely don't want as it prompts me to wake the phone up to see what the notification is. Is there a way to prevent this?

Why is it that all the other distributions have figured out how to use the Torch icon in the drop-down but Mobian still uses a stand-alone Flashlight app?

Hi,

I have post in french, but now I will try to speak that in English.

I have a pinephone , he start, ask the password and next i have a screen with the menu possible and the application phone and the application adress book but this last screen crush twice time (3 fois ) and next i can go to the screen where we can (ask a password and next we can go another to the screen with … and it rebegin

I can reboot : not change
Where can I go to grub? How can I use a command ?
And what can I use If I can use a command ?

Will I do reinstall all ?

I have bought two new pinephones beta edition with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB EMMC / Community Edition in october 2021 .
Neither one seems to recognize the SDCard nor do they boot from that SDCard as they should according to documentation, not with JumpDrive or the multiboot image nor with the Mobian image, they just ignore the SDCard.
Using the USB-C drive the SDCards with adapter are recognized but the system won't boot from that drive.
I have created the bootable 16GB SCCards (here mmcblk0p1) on Debian using dd:
