  New phone - setup - only landscape - KDE plasma
Posted by: westsamoa - 09-25-2021, 08:01 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Hello everybody,

i'm new on Pinephone. Just received a new device with KDE Plasma. after boot, the "Welcome Screen" popup in Landscape. Most fields are inaccessible, so i'm unable to do the setup. Only hard shutdown is possible.

Any ideas or experience with this situation?

Thank's in advance.

  Phosh - config within Settings does not save after reboot
Posted by: antitheos - 09-24-2021, 04:30 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - No Replies

Hey guys and gals, this is my first post on the forums. I decided to ask around about a small issue I've got to save some time. Hope somebody knows the right answer.  Big Grin

So, I've finally figured out how to get Gentoo Linux running on my pinephone. Everything works nicely, but I was wondering how to make the system have all the settings save after reboot. For instance, some stuff like the WiFi network last used gets saved, but other things like display scaling or starting up as Docked (as if HDMI is used) do not, and just most other things changed in the Settings configuration tool do not stay the same after I reboot.

I assume this has something to do with Phosh or perhaps file access, but I'm not sure what is the problem. While not a big deal really, I'd still like to know how have these things work as intended. Thank you. Undecided


  Quartz64 Model-A 8GB board boot error
Posted by: d4s - 09-24-2021, 03:18 PM - Forum: General Discussion on Quartz64 - Replies (6)

Hello. I've got my Quartz64 A 8GB today and tried to boot with several Linux-based and Android images. I've tried both mmc and emmc boot with the same result:

```
DDR Version V1.07 20210419
ln
ddrconfig:7
DTT cs0 error
L3952:reinit fail
LPDDR4X, 324MHz
error
ERR
```

Any suggestions what this failure is meaning?

Does it expected at the moment for this board version?


  PineTab Early Adopter Edition
Posted by: khbehrens - 09-24-2021, 10:46 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (4)

Is there any work being done to make the PineTab early adopter edition usable? I haven't seen an OS update to be installed since I took delivery of the device.
The current state of the machine doesn't allow me to use it as an every day machine to do any work.

  Mobian pinephone -- "Stalled" (best way to describe it)
Posted by: fred_mobian - 09-24-2021, 08:18 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Mobian pinephone -- "Stalled" (best way to describe it)


It is a new Mobian model pinephone.

https://i.postimg.cc/HsVNJX05/mobian.png




I was able to complete the Mobian install.
Apt-get added some apps.
LOVED the phone.


I let it go for a week and charged it via an intel nuc (and other ways, see below).


This is as far as I get.


The green light goes on when charging for 4-5 seconds.
Then it (boots?) falls through to this screen.
The green light goes off.
I never see a red light.


I tried my pin and varies passwords at this screen and press "OK".
It accepts the OK and loops back to this screen.


I have:
* fully powered it off/on.
* removed tape from battery.
* charged it for 3 days, while off, on the NUC.
* charged it for 3 days, while off, on a surge-protector USB port.
* used the provided orange cable.
* removed the battery and tried it while connected via USB (it does the same thing).


* (it did the first time) but does not now show ANYTHING on the desktop

when connected to the desktop. Does not even show that it is connected

now (it did the first time).




What else can I try?


Has anyone else experienced this same scenario?


Should I repeat this post under hardware?


Thank you!

Does ayufan have newer versions of u-boot than the 2017.9 versions listed here? When trying their latest releases, the compatibility list lists newer versions but I cannot find anything newer than 2017.9. Am I missing something? I've gone down some U-Boot rabbit holes and scoured the internet but am at a loss.

When using any of their newer images my system consistently hangs at this line:

Quote:dwmmc_rockchip fe310000.mmc: DW MMC controller at irq 32,32 bit host data width,256 deep fifo



Another interesting event is:

Quote:[    0.000000] [Firmware Bug]: Kernel image misaligned at boot, your bootloader!


I have tried focal-xfce-rockpro64...187, 186, and 185 with the same behavior. 

I am also striking out with recent Debian builds. They will boot but cannot resolve DHCP address negotiation, even manually. I built my last server with Debian Buster just before the hard freeze and can swap the eMMC chip it is on between all (4) of my RockPro64 devices and have them work.


  Compatible screen replacement
Posted by: TomasM - 09-24-2021, 05:53 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (3)

It looks like a few of us have had our screens break. Has anyone found a compatible replacement?

The cover lense (glass) on mine just cracked while running 'apk upgrade'. 90% of the display panel still works, but the digitiser is out. (Unfortunately, I didn't think to record ambient or internal temperature at the time).
