I can't seem to get my pinephone manjaro community edition to record audio. Things I've tried:

• Booting different versions of Manjaro Arch and Mobian from the SD.
  
• Changing sample rates and gain settings for pulse and alsa.
  
• Disassembling the phone and checking connections.
  
• Plugging an earphone/mic combo into the headphone jack.
  

A couple of days ago I tried updating Bookworm, and after an apparently successful update, I rebooted and it hung at the Mobian splash screen. I finally had to restore the image I had saved immediately before the update. I then noticed that there hadn't been a nightly image since 4 October.  Today I checked again and see there are nightlys from 9 and 10 October. 

Can anybody confirm that those nightlys boot and run fine? or that it's again safe to run sudo apt upgrade?

I am selling my pinebook pro (europe), if anyone is interested can contact me and I can provide info a pictures

I have a RockPro64 and i cant get EDP working in any distro.

Can anyone help me.

I'm getting flooded with texts from 555-111-0000, sometimes a dozen a week, sometimes a dozen a day. Texts are always long strings of digits and letters.  Anybody else getting this? any idea what it is about?

PinePhone64 Community Edition will not connect to home Wi-Fi (Asus AX11000) @2.4GHz
Using Distro. “Manjaro-ARM-plasma-mobile-pinephone – 20210423.img.xz”


The following (below) is what is reported by my AX11000 when trying to setup PinePhone64
For reporting below the MAC ADDRESS has been removed and substituted with: [MAC Address Removed] My Router connects for a brief few seconds and then disconnects. No problems exist for other Wi-Fi connections. How can I correct the PinePhone64 from disconnecting? This is what my AX11000 System Log reports:

Auth, [MAC Address Removed] status: Successful (0), rssi:0

The problem is that after entering the password the phone connect and then disconnects using Wi-Fi. I have not been able to get to trying to set up the phone for cell service since I can't get past the Wi-Fi setup connection. Help appreciated....

Hello.

I see it as good opportunity here to add a marketplace forum, where users can request and offer all Pine64 products they have for sale.

Hello.

If anyone is having a near-mint condition PBP, please let me know as I would like to get my hands on one. Shipment to US address.

Hello,

I received my first PinePhone a couple of weeks ago. I transplanted my only SIM card from my iPhone SE (2nd gen) to the PP a couple of days ago and there is no way back for me. After the last Apple announcements I am pretty much done with them and Google is a no-go for me as well.
I am very happy with how useable and stable the PP is - at least for my kinda modest requirements.
I just felt like writing up the setup I currently arrived at; I somewhat doubt I will try many more other distros any time soon.

Here is my setup:
PinePhone model: Beta Edition 3 GB / 32 GB
Distro: Arch (Gnome v. 40.4)
DE: phosh (Wayland)
I installed Arch (build 2021/09/08 from here) on the eMMC via JumpDrive (see here)

Calling someone: Works.
Caveat: Surrounding noises can be (very) annoying for the person being called -- will try a cable headset soon.

Getting called: Works.
Caveat: When the PP is in deep sleep, the caller hears 6 rings while the PP wakes up. Then my provider informs the caller I am not available and that I will receive an SMS / text messages about the call.
My thoughts: I consider this a feature - I do not have to answer the phone when it sleeps which will be the case when a) I am on the road and am not using the phone or b) I am sleeping myself.
In any case I get the SMS and can then call back when/if it suits me - works for me

Receiving SMS / text messages: Works.

Sending SMS / text messages: Works.
Caveat: I manually set mobile to '2G only' beforehand. This may be an issue when 2G gets obsolete.

Battery duration: Should be ok - for me.
It lasts for at least 2 hours of normal use. I will better bring my charger/ power bank/ replacement battery for longer trips..

Camera: Not useful for taking pictures of important memories.
The image quality is just a joke to me. I disabled the front camera via the kill switch. I keep the rear camera for documentation purposes.
Workaround: I will carry my real camera more often now - works for me.


Apps

I regularly use these apps, sorted from hard-to-setup to alread-installed:


Spot (for Spotify)
- see https://flathub.org/apps/details/dev.alextren.Spot

Signal Desktop client
- see https://privacyshark.zero-credibility.net/#packages
- I gave up on Axolotl for now

Lollypop (mp3 player)
- came pre-installed; the work here was to copy music files onto the PinePhone. I did that by connecting my usb disk to the PP via the usb-c dock that came with it. The copying I did using the good old Midnight commander:
sudo pacman -S mc

PureMaps + OSM Scout Server (GPS Navigation)
- Performance + UX is 10 times as good as with the pre-installed 'Maps'
- Offline map data for my region only ate up about 2 GB of disk space
- In-car test: A complete failure. Short version: GPS on the PinePhone is not yet working in real life.
- see https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=puremaps
- see https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php...coutserver

Shortwave (Internet radio)
- see https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=shortwave
- best internet radio app on any platform (fast + no ads ...)
- Caveat: when adding a station be careful not to freeze all of phosh (requires a phone restart for me - but the station gets added)

Weather
- Came pre-installed (I think); otherwise see https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=weather

KTrip (Public transport)
- Came pre-installed; otherwise see https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php?id=ktrip
- Does the job, also tested it on-the-go, shows slightly less information than similar iOS/Android apps

Calendar.
- Instead of using 'evolution' (I prefer a calender-only app) I installed 'Calendar for GNOME': https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Calendar
- I only had to do this:
