  Stuck in OTA update mode
Posted by: mark1250 - 08-09-2021, 07:56 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (4)

So I thought I would try out wasp-os on my pinetime. It was running the infinitime 1.0 bootloader and 1.2/1.3 OS.

I downloaded and unzipped the wasp-os-0.4.1 file from https://github.com/daniel-thompson/wasp-os/releases. I used nrfconnect to push the reloader-mcuboot.zip file from the build-pinetime folder to the pinetime. (I watched Daniel's YouTube video from November 2020 & followed the steps he outlined)

The watch rebooted and the pinecone changed from blue to white.

I reconnected nrfconnect with the pinetime and attempted to push the micropython.zip file to the pinetime, but it would get to 1% the watch would blink the pinecone is white with start and a white bluetooth symbol. I can reconnect (most of the time the phone & pinetime automatically connect), but I can't get past 1% and the cycle continues.

So I thought I would go back to infinitime by pushing the reloader-factory.zip, but the same thing happens - bluetooth disconnect, white pinecone, start-whitepinecone-whitebluetooth, whitepinecone-bluebluetooth.

How do I get my pinetime back?

Thanks.

Mark


  PineTime bricked?
Posted by: pag-r - 08-09-2021, 01:45 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (2)

Hi to all,

I've started to use PineTime for about 3weeks ago - I've bought dev-kit. Last week I've upgraded firmware to version 1.3 of InfiniTime. After firmware upgrade I've verified and it looked fine. Everything was working fine, until battery was completely discharged. I've used the same charger as before but watch doesn't seem to be starting. It's completely blank. Doesn't matter for how long I push the button nothing happens. I've tried second charger from the dev-kit, still no results. Any ideas what more I can do?
For firmware installation I've used nRF Connect from Play Store. As a companion app Gadgetbridge from F-Droid.


  Gnome Software broken
Posted by: Concrete_panda - 08-09-2021, 01:27 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Hello,

in Posh when I download updates and want to click on "Restart and Update", I get an error saying:
"Unable to install updates: GDBus.Error:org.gtk.GDBus.UnmappedGError.Quark._pk_2dengine_2derror_2dquark.Code1: Prepared update not found: /var/lib/PackageKit/prepared-update".

I get the same error in Arch on the Pinephone as well.

Updating via terminal works fine.

Any ideas?

Best!
Michael


  USB C connector loose?
Posted by: bceverly - 08-09-2021, 01:02 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (3)

Hi,

Anything I plug into the USB-C connector on the phone is very easily dislodged.  I mean I barely touch the phone and it comes unplugged.  Any suggestions?  It feels like things don't plug in far enough to lock into place.  Perhaps there is a cable extender/adapter that would help?

Thanks!


  Convergance Dock HDMI resolution:
Posted by: bceverly - 08-09-2021, 01:00 PM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (4)

Hi,

I have a PinePhone convergence device and dock and when I plug in, the keyboard and mouse work fine but I get no output on the HDMI display.  Is there a maximum (or minimum) resolution that must be supported?  I'm plugging in a Dell Ultrasharp 27 (U2720Q) monitor (specs) which is a 4k panel.

Thanks!


  Pinephone no video through HDMI
Posted by: gumda - 08-09-2021, 09:39 AM - Forum: General - Replies (3)

Hi guys,


    I've bough a pine phone 2 months ago(approx) that doesn't outputting video through HDMI, it doesn't matter if I use the convergence adapter or other adapters(like ANKER USB-C adapters), I'm aware the same issue that has been reported by so many other users in this forum and unfortunately there's non advances from the pine64 hardware and software designer team, I'm know this is a beta phone/test device, but even on this phase of the product its crucial at least to have more info about this issue coming from the designer team[not the community/testers], I'm aware of the theories that exist around this issue(DRAM freq., lack of support to the USB PMIC driver) but again beyond this, first of all the HW team should post if they've changed something on the recipe on this batch(replace/remove some resistors, capacitors, inductor, active device, routing, etc) to certainly track from where this issue came from and help to the whole community and even to help the actual development. I really like the device.... but anyway.


btw I'll leave two different dmesg logs(I've used the 3.5mm FTDI serial adapter for extracting it):

dmesg_using_convergence_adapter

dmesg_using_anker_usb-c_adapter


I hope someone else could have more info about/advances of this and even if someone has already fixed it, please let me know.


  Tutorial or help on this distro?
Posted by: odh - 08-09-2021, 08:16 AM - Forum: Arch Linux on PinePhone - Replies (9)

Installed this OS by flashing a 32gig SD Card to a UbPorts 2Gig RAM version of Pinephone. Was wondering if anyone has like a few command lines to put into King's Cross/Bash terminal to add even more functionality to this OS? I mean I can already make calls and receive calls, but it doesn't seem to install apps from the Software store? Does anyone have like a helpful to do list to improve the experience on this? The potential is there, this could be the best OS out there for Pinephone so far, so I am stoked. It might even be close to a daily driver phone with a few tweaks. Thanks in advance. Smile


Information 3rd party keyboard review
Posted by: golbinex - 08-09-2021, 05:14 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (4)

Recently my Tab key got broken so I had to replace keyboard.
Price for new keyboard from official store however was too expensive for me, so I took the risk and ordered from HERE (total price inc. shipping was 27$ while price from official store was 20$ + 30$ shipping!).
Seller first asked about part number printed on keyboard cable, after providing number he warned me that cable is a little longer than original (this wasn't much of issue).
Keyboard arrived without the case, so I had to disconnect keyboard from the case. This was pretty difficult, because keyboard was hard-connected with the case with plastic caps, tearing caps off is irreversible. New keyboard fitted quite well, however holes in the keyboard didn't match perfectly, I had to push some spots in after keyboard was installed. I think height of keys is a little lower than in original, see picture.
Keyboard worked right away after booting (I have ANSI version from August 2020). Some keys are different (most notably right ctrl and Fn keys), these keys however work like on the original keyboard.
Updating to latest ANSI keyboard firmware from HERE worked fine.
If you want to save 30$ from shipping (seriously PINE64, why shipping to europe costs 30$) and you're not afraid of replacement procedure, this is viable alternative.

  Enter disk decryption passphrase error
Posted by: healthyliving101 - 08-08-2021, 09:19 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (3)

I've been using my Pinephone CE running Mobian for a few months. Recently, I apparently executed a command in terminal that has caused the phone on startup to display this message that I can't dismiss because I don't know the passphrase:

Enter disk decryption passphrase

Can I fix this easily? Or, should I flash and install another system on the phone?  Huh
