I do not get notifications on the lock screen, despite the fact that this setting is activated in the Privacy settings. The blue LED comes on, but I must unlock the phone to see that there is a notification. For example, open king's cross, enter "sleep 5", then hit the power button. After 5 seconds, the blue LED flashes, but when the lock screen comes up there is no notification.

Is this problem unique to me, or do other people experience it?

(Feature request: The ability to have a third lock screen notification setting, not just on or off, but a setting which allows the *presence* of a notification but not its *content*)

My phones motherboard just stopped working so I am now forced to use the PP as a daily driver. It's been alright so far but the microphone on the phone is super staticy and it won't work with my bluetooth headset. I can listen to music but can't talk over the phone. I can't get discord on the phone and Axolotl doesn't do phone calls so what other options are there?

I’m trying to compile Ayufan’s mainline Linux and I’m missing DT-overlay.  What is missing? I thought you just had to install the needing building tools, clone the git, cp the rockchip-Linux.config, make menuconfig, and then make -j6.  What did I miss?

Hi, a completely new user here!

I just bought my PineTIme, and it's the first product I've ever bought from Pine64. I was wondering if there is any reason for the PineTime to not support Unicode characters? The letters from my native language simply do not show up. Thanks to GadgetBridge I can at least replace those letters with other letters to better understand, but I find it weird that the device doesn't support Unicode.

So my question/point of discussion; Is there a technical limitation or something preventing Unicode-support? If so, what approach could the devs take to possibly support unicode or special characters? Is there any way a non-technical user can help out getting something like this through, or is it on some sort of roadmap already?

Starting kernel ...

I checked my repository listing from within the Software app. It shows two debian repos (main and non-free), flathub, and two firmware repos. I was looking for the Mobian repo. Has the need for a Mobian repo been eliminated by the updated debian repos? Or is there something not quite right with my system configuration?

The Pine Phone is working better than ever. I'm just concerned that my phone won't be getting the latest updates.

Hello Forum,

I had to change my screen and apparently lost the approximity sensor. Simultaneously I fired up Mobian on the internal storage.
When booting into it, the screen dims down after a couple seconds.

I would like to keep Mobian and found out that I have to disable the proximity sensor in the config files. Problem: I don't know how I can gain root access to the mounted phones storage (under Ubuntu).

Alternatively, I could also reinstall mobian having the proximity sensor disabled before. Unfortunately I also don't know how to do that.

If this is not mobian-specific enough, please let me know and I will delete the thread. Anyway, I would be very glad for any hint to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance

Hello,

I purchased my PinePhone Braveheart edition (v1.1) first time when they were launched (ordered in November 2019, received it in February 2020).
The microphone has never worked. At the beginning, I couldn't test it; when the first alpha distros became available and I was able to test the microphone, it was too late to send it back under warranty. Eventually I got a new Side Board, on which the microphone is soldered, and I replaced the original one, but the microphone still doesn't work.


Currently the installed OS is Manjaro with KDE Plasma Mobile. Just after the full OS is loaded, under Settings -> Audio, in "Recording Devices" section, the Internal Microphone is shown:


   


After tapping on the button and sellecting the "Headset Microphone" there is no option to go back to the "Internal Microphone" (see the image below):
   
In my opinion this looks like a software issue. If I use a headset, the microphone on the headset works fine and, if I make a phone-call, I can have a bi-directional conversation.


Any feedback? The next step would be to replace the main board. Or sell the phone on eBay and put a stop to my misery

Howdy Piners:

My pinebook pro didn't have bluetooth, wifi, audio, or display functioning properly, until I installed the blobs.  I'm running slarm64, so it was natural to download the blobs from the sndwvs repository:  https://gitlab.com/sndwvs/images_build_k...s/firmware. 

However, what if something happened to this repository and it went down?  I would feel safer having an additional source.

What other repositories contain pinebook pro blobs, and which repository is "most upstream" and likely to have the most up-to-date firmware?

Since source code is not shared with blobs, then these are certainly something we can't compile ourselves.  Does pine64 have an "official" repository from which it releases these nuisances (sorry I don't like blobs, and would prefer a totally open device with poor non-proprietary resolution on its display and camera).   Nevertheless, since forced to use the blobs if I want full functionality in my pinebook, it would be nice to know from where they can be retrieved?  

Also, will the pbp blobs eventually find themselves in linux kernel's mainline firmware:  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git?

Hi!

After updating to the latest version of Manjaro ([ARM Stable Update] 2021-07-23) my PBP's splash boot image does not appear anymore.
Only a black screen until the logging page appears.

I think this happens because the kernel boots plash was not added.
It should be like that? Is this a new feature?


Also there is one more annoying thing that happens after this update, my PBP freezes randomly and only a hard restart resolves this. Does this happen to anyone else?

Thanks
