I must confess that I write mostly to be the first to write.

However, I already have a similar device and I like the idea.

The only thing I want to say is that it's important that once it's put on sale it already works distinctly because with that price, unsatisfied people would become harassed.

From my side, on paper it all looks great, probably already the best specs available in the market for this kind of device.
I hope you will also focus on the sleep of the hardware, because one important thing about ebook readers is that they last a long time when used only for reading.

I just would like to mention that I made a pinephone case printable in 5 colors, containing the Tux logo and Pine64 logo (sort of fan item I would say - don't expect it to be a "protective" case). It is available with or without a protector for an OTG cable and a cable holder as well. I put the item on thingieverse in case anyone else would like one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4933237

I also wrote a small piece of scanning software for StructureCore on the pinephone (it only scans and records, some preview and settings, nothing fancy). In case anyone is interested the source code I would love to share it. BTW You can find a protective StructureCore shell here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4933248

Summary for StructureCore on pinephone: there is nowhere near full scanner performance, I can scan around 5fps using the pinephone. It's great fun anyway! I just compiled (on manjaro) and it worked (except their windowing; however, gtk3 works finewith the library on manjaro).

Is there a way to have Firefox get the desktop version rather than the mobile version? I pretty much never want to see the mobile version.

 
I have the Mobian August 15th nightly running from the sd card on one of my PMOS Convergent phones.

The cellular data is working okay,  but I cannot seem to get the Hotspot to turn on...  ?

I do not know if that is a carrier problem,  or a software problem.    BUT it Did Work the last time I tried it..?

I do not use data very often on my Pine phone,  and

 *   I do not remember how long ago it was the last time I used the hotspot,   

                on this phone, it is still the same carrier as when it did work,  'Pure Talk',  they are an MVNO of AT&T.

Sw is mobian phosh (wayland), fully updated

I am available for further tests

I understand I can overclock the rockpro64 by modifying the dtb.  I was able to decompile it into a dts and edit it with values I found from the OP1 dtsi, but I cannot get it to compile with them back into a DTB.  I know if I screw this up a certain way, I can burn my board, so rather than post my edit here and risk missing something, I want to understand how someone was able to do it properly.  I saw pin64 has a page in their wiki, but it's more of an explanation of how it works than how to accomplish it.  Is anyone willing to write this howto?

Hello...!

Shortly I read about 'Clapper' which plays back videos using hardware acceleration on the PinePhone, at least if the video's codec is H.264. I have a video file, whose codec is H.264 but the screen simply stays black, it doesn't even start.
On Youtube I saw a demonstration of Clapper with a demo video (screenshots of this video are on the flathub site linked above). Can someone point me to this demo video or another video that works so I can take a look at the specs. I'd like to encode some videos with Handbrake according to those specs.

Thanks for any hint!

I just received my Pine Watch and upgraded the firmware to 1.2.0. Seemed to happen almost as i was going through the settings. My main question is how do I set the time on it? I'm using Manjaro on my Pine Phone and can get it to connect via Bluetooth, but not much else. Is the an app that's needed? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I've running Manjaro Linux Mobile Plasma, and 4G connectivity is unreliable.
Sometimes it will just show "modem busy" or "the modem shows no carrier" messages, while other times it will connect properly. But next time it disconnects from the 4G network which could be 30 minutes to over 24 hours, it will not recover. The only option I have found so far is to reboot the phone. Sometimes, I have to do this 5 to 10 times to get a connection. Is there anything I could do to prevent this issue, or at least force reconnect without a reboot each time the connection is lost? Thank you.

Hi,

I am trying to place order from Saudi arabia but the proceed to Paypal is not working "No shipping method has been selected. Please double check your address, or contact us if you need any help."

I want to know are you guys shipping pinephone to Saudi Arabia?
