Just flashed a September 01 Nightly to an sd card,  running on a Pine Manjaro Convergent phone.

It did the normal disk 'resizing',     But there was no pop-up to help put the basic information into the phone.

  Now there is not a flashlight app on the desktop,  or in the onboard Software Store. ?

I did the "Updates" via   settings > about > update,  that went normally  using the wifi...

I attempted to use the cell/data after putting in my APN info, and turned on mobile data,  both Epiphany and Firefox would not load.

Then turned wifi back on,  Epiphany loaded...  turned wifi off again,  mobile data back on,    this time Epiphany loaded via cell/data.

Calls work both directions,  while the other person can hear me clearly, and they sound clear to me,  but I sound distorted to myself on the ear piece.

The text works, both in and out.  ...  

AND  in the Power App,  with wifi off,  data off  just the modem on,  
    While running on the battery,     it is showing between 2.0 and 2.2 watts of discharge. !

That is getting the power consumption down,  a bit lower with each release.

I updated my Pinephone tonight and when it restarted, I cannot enter the passphrase to boot the phone. It's like the keyboard doesn't work. This is the Mobian version.
Anybody know how to help me?
Thanks!

I'm no Mobian Bookworm, and finding that Portfolio is a little too lightweight, and won't really do anything I want.  Is there a file manager that is more capable but still works on our tiny touch screens?

I have the UBports version on the pinephone and with bother kernels 5.13 and 5.14 I get an issue where if I turn the brightness down all the way the screen goes black. I noticed a few threads on here from a while ago talking about it but was wondering if anyone found a solution?

Gnome-contacts-mobile never seemed to sync with NextCloud contacts, then I replaced it with gnome-contacts and everything synced as expected... Gnome-contacts seem to pull in about 50 dependencies, perhaps the backend to communicate with the NextCloud api was in there?

Would be nice if gnome-contacts-mobile had whatever the missing dependency to minimize the gnome desktop bloat regular gnome-contacts pulled in

Hi
I am installed arch/phosh yesterday
I got wifi hotspot working, and from my laptop I can ping the phone, but I can't get to the Internet.
I checked the ip forwarding is enabled, and it appears to be.
Can anyone help please?
thanks

After the last update, done yesterday (30/08/2021), the telephone is failing to boot. It is stuck on PINE 64's screen.

I tried using the solution proposed here: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10130  (See below)
Differently from what is said there, the "Installing update" screen never appears. Instead, I get a screen that says "Awaiting command" and UBPorts logo / robot.
Using the commands described on that thread does reboot the phone, but it only takes me back to the PINE 64's screen.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Giovanni Iannotti

PS: These are the instructions I followed:

1. Use a USB A-C cable to plug your phone into your PC
   
2. Hold the PinePhone's power button for 4 seconds or more to power it off.
   
3. Wait 5 seconds
   
4. Hold the Volume Up and Power buttons on the PinePhone to boot into recovery. You should see the LED light red, then yellow, then green. The "Installing update" screen will appear, but a progress bar to indicate update progress will not. Ignore the "Installing update" part. 
   
5. Your PC may automatically mount the PinePhone's partitions. If it does, Safely Remove or Eject all of them.
   
6. Open a terminal on your PC. Type
   telnet 172.16.42.1
   
7. You should receive the text 'Welcome to Rescue SD Shell!'
   
8. In the new Rescue SD shell, type
   umount /dev/mmcblk2p10; e2fsck -fy /dev/mmcblk2p10 && sync
   
9. Once this command pipeline finishes, type
   sync && reboot -f
   

I thought the Pine phone keyboard was going to be in the store soon ?

But  there does not seem to be any news here recently.

Did that get abandoned or delayed ?  

   Does anybody have an update ?

Finally in January 2022 !

I don't have Ubuntu Touch installed, but I'm trying to find out what packages it has and specifically which versions on which channels (stable, rc, devel). The UBPorts distribution system is really obscure to me though and I couldn't find any info about what's on which channel and what packages are included in the PinePhone image in the first place.
I got so far as to see that packages come from repo.ubports.com, but how do I know which update channel they belong to? I see packages being built in their CI, but where do they go?
I was looking into getting Lomiri running again on Manjaro, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what the currently used package versions are or what commits builds are based on. Does anyone know more about how to find this out?

Someone sent me this link when I mentioned Axolotl wasn't working and claimed this works but I certainly wasn't able to get the debian package to install and can't open an issue on their Github because it is restricted. Anyone else have any luck?
