When using bluetooth, you can skip the USB hardwire insecurity as well as skipping anything outside of bluetooth range for manual file transfers. It's working for me for any files on the device that can be found in the terminal, and then using a bluetooth compatible desktop/laptop for anything stored physically farther away.

Anyone have any idea what the "adaptive apps" button is for. I'm at a loss.

It seems, that Pinephone consums pretty lot of energy in a call. Within 5 minutes call it los 8% of charge (from 15% to 7%). I use the alternative modem firmware (not stock) from Biktorgs, version 0.4.2

OS: Manjaro ARM (unstable), kernel 5.14.15-5

Can someboedy test it out?

Hi :-)

I'm trying to use bluetooth to connect to the "car multimedia interface" (or however that thing is called :-))

Establishing the connection seems to work, and it does say "connected". Also, in gnome-control-center, the sound settings have "hands-free set" selected, for both input and output.

But testing the output, I hear nothing, - same when i click "play" in gnome podcasts. Phone calls error out immediately.

One thing iIve noticed is that even though it says "connected", there is a "not working"  icon displayed for a few times...

Would anyone have ideas what i could do? Anyone has this working successfully? Thanks!!

I'm using it purely as a phone and reader, and there's nothing on the pinephone of any interest to anyone. The authentication step is a bother but would be okay if it only happened on reboot. But it's every single time after the screen blanks, which is a *giant* bother. (More so for me than some people because I have very dry skin, and everything on a touchscreen takes multiple tries for me.)

Oh, I do have the screen set to never blank while I'm using it, but I doubt that's a good idea when it's knocking around in my pocket.

Is there any way to bypass authentication entirely? I'm happy to edit files in /etc or wherever, but will need step-by-step instructions. Bad things happen when I try to improvise as root .

I tried to use the Pinephone as my daily driver. While it did work out, I now need to be able to use certain Android apps for work, and so I must sell this on to someone else. It's in good condition! Also, it is the Convergence Package.

P.S. I hope it's okay to post this here, I saw someone else do it and I didn't see anything against it in the rules.

KDE Plasma Mobile has a nifty screen scaling setting under monitors but this does not work currently. As soon as I set some monitor scaling like 180%, not the default 200%, nothing in Plasma Mobile will work any more. The screen scaling feature seems to break the system completely. So this is quit a dangerous feature, currently.

Here's how we build a LoRa SX1262 Driver for PineDio USB Adapter... And test it on Pinebook Pro

Hello pinetime devs,

As Hypnos never updated and it is a simple watch os, I opened another open source project for Pinetime, Zephyr now officially add pinetime board support, if you interested with Zephyr, join us to improve the open source project, just for fun!

I picked this little gem up on Amazon for $22.  It let's you program the eMMC modules using Etcher or Win32 Disk Imager.  I've installed the MrFixIt2001 image onto a 64GB eMMC and booted my RockPro64 right up.  Full disclosure, it doesn't seem to work with RockPro64 bootstrap images though, and I don't know why...  

Pine should add these to their online store, IMHO.
