  No Power after install new emmc and front touchscreen
Posted by: chadwick - 09-19-2021, 04:17 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (5)

Hi,

I have a UB Port Pinephone, 2GB RAM / 16 G emmc. Recently I replace it with the 3GB/32G emmc and brought the front touchscreen pannel in the hope of replacing the older hardware and the broken front touchscreen which I break it when accidently dropping it.

I followed the instructions in the store page on how to replace the emmc and at the same time I replaced the front pannel. After assemble, it did not even startup on pressing the power button. I also tried to plug in the usb charger and nothing seems to be working (no screen, no light, no nothing).

What should I try? Any input or suggestion are welcome.


  how to use spidev0.1?
Posted by: jclab-joseph - 09-18-2021, 06:09 PM - Forum: Linux on Rock64 - Replies (2)

Hello,

I want to use spi0.1 on rock64 (ver 3.0).
I tried enabling rockchip-spi-spidev in armbian-config, but it didn't work. When I open the dtb, it seems that it is not for rk3328 as there is "compatible = "rockchip,rk3399"".
Where can I find the right dts?

I tired:

add num-cs into the rk3328-rock64.dts

Code:
        spi@ff190000 {
                compatible = "rockchip,rk3328-spi\0rockchip,rk3066-spi";
                reg = <0x00 0xff190000 0x00 0x1000>;
                interrupts = <0x00 0x31 0x04>;
                #address-cells = <0x01>;
                #size-cells = <0x00>;
                clocks = <0x02 0x20 0x02 0xd1>;
                clock-names = "spiclk\0apb_pclk";
                dmas = <0x12 0x08 0x12 0x09>;
                dma-names = "tx\0rx";
                pinctrl-names = "default";
                pinctrl-0 = <0x32 0x33 0x34 0x35 0xb6>;
                status = "okay";
                phandle = <0x86>;
                num-cs = <2>;

                spiflash@0 {
                        compatible = "jedec,spi-nor";
                        reg = <0x00>;
                        spi-max-frequency = <0x2faf080>;
                };
        };

dmesg:
[    3.239265] rockchip-spi ff190000.spi: Failed to register controller
[    3.239495] rockchip-spi: probe of ff190000.spi failed with error -22

  Chatty, SMS does not work - could hardware be at fault?
Posted by: AntonReiser - 09-18-2021, 01:25 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (36)

After the Lamination Issue wrecked my old Pinephone, I received a new one yesterday and installed the latest Mobian nightly.

However, I cannot send or receive text messages via Chatty. 

At first I thought Mobian Bookworm is at fault. But it seems to  be a hardware issue: SMS does not work either, when I boot Mobian Bullseye from an SD card.

By contrast, when I boot from the very same card on my old phone, SMS works. The standard installation of course works as well. Also, I can make an receive calls on both phones.

Since the same Mobian istallation on the same SD card works on one phone and not on the other I don't have any other explanation than a hardware issue. 

Could that be? Any ideas?


  remove lock screen
Posted by: unrealb2 - 09-18-2021, 12:42 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - No Replies

Hi, there i've tried searching it but I don't can't seem to find anything.

Does anyone know a way to remove the lock screen on mobian? or any OS for pinephone.

Its annoying to have to type it in each time.

But for myself I want to lock the cellphone for parental controls, If i remove the screen lock I can download appropriate apps basically removing the web. So it can be used as a talk and text phone


Question Is X11 Screen Rotation Possible?
Posted by: acid andy - 09-17-2021, 03:25 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (11)

I'm using X11, not Wayland, on my PinePhone and I'd love to be able to rotate the screen. Has anyone managed to do this? Or maybe someone has it working on another Pine64 device?

My XFCE display settings tell me my monitor is called "default" and the drop-down for Rotate is disabled.

I tried:

Code:
xrandr --output default --rotate right


and it tells me rotation isn't supported.

Looking around it seems my PinePhone's monitor should be detected as "DSI-1" so why is it using "default"?

I tried to add a config:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-monitor.conf

Code:
Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "DSI-1"
  Option    "Rotate" "right"
EndSection

but it had no effect, because I think X11 still doesn't know my monitor is "DSI-1". How should it be detected?

One last thing I tried was adding:

Code:
Option "Rotate" "CW"
to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-fbturbo.conf

but that stops X from starting altogether and in the Xorg.0.log it says XRandR rotation is being disabled, so that's obviously a no-go.

Can anyone help?


  Hypothetical Pine Phone 2.0?
Posted by: ragreenburg - 09-17-2021, 03:03 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (18)

So let's say we go 3 years into the future and Phosh, and Plasma Mobile and super stable and have a nice, complete ecosystem, similar to iOS/Android. At this point the only thing holding back more people from getting a Pine Phone is that the hardware is old and slow. If this happened could we do a PinePhone 2.0 that is a more mid ranged phone (like $400) as apposed to the low end phone we have now? 

I understand why the PP is a low end phone, more people get a phone to report issues and bug and potentially develop for it. But it sure would be nice to have a device that is more capable at some point.
