Hi,

I have had UB Ports running on my Pinephone for a year, not as my daily driver, but as a backup phone, also trying out various new apps available.

I kept it on the kernel update channel and everything seemed fine. However, following one of my last updates, the screen goes blank after bootup. Apparently, the phone is running Ubuntu, but the screen does not show anything. How can I fix this?

I would hate having to kill my long-standing installation.

Many thanks for your thoughts on this problem.

Hi

I have a brand new PP Beta Convergence, and I wonder if external display works for somebody.
I have tried all the major OSs, and Megi's latest multi.img, but none of those got me closer to a working external display.
After multiple displays, and docking stations which all work otherwise, I am starting to suspect the hardware.

What I often see in dmesg is "unknown message", and DP state 0x03:

I'm using Manjaro with Phosh and I installed the Flatpak of Axolotl, the Signal client. It seemed to install fine but it fails to open when I press the icon. When I tried running it via cl I got the following error output but I'm not sure what it means exactly. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

I got a new phone with android 10 and now my pinebook cannot see it when I plug in with usb cable.  I did a little searching and several pages mentions that I would need jmtpfs (https://github.com/JasonFerrara/jmtpfs).  I tried modifying the build file to add aarch64 and still cannot build for manjaro.  Not really sure what my next steps would be.  Is there a way to know what is holding up the package build? some dependency that also needs to be built for aarch64?

For anyone interested in what was going on with my phone: I could see the device in file explorer but not access any storage:

No storage media found. Make sure your device is unlocked and has MTP enabled in its USB connection settings.

I do not get notifications on the lock screen, despite the fact that this setting is activated in the Privacy settings. The blue LED comes on, but I must unlock the phone to see that there is a notification. For example, open king's cross, enter "sleep 5", then hit the power button. After 5 seconds, the blue LED flashes, but when the lock screen comes up there is no notification.

Is this problem unique to me, or do other people experience it?

(Feature request: The ability to have a third lock screen notification setting, not just on or off, but a setting which allows the *presence* of a notification but not its *content*)

My phones motherboard just stopped working so I am now forced to use the PP as a daily driver. It's been alright so far but the microphone on the phone is super staticy and it won't work with my bluetooth headset. I can listen to music but can't talk over the phone. I can't get discord on the phone and Axolotl doesn't do phone calls so what other options are there?

I’m trying to compile Ayufan’s mainline Linux and I’m missing DT-overlay.  What is missing? I thought you just had to install the needing building tools, clone the git, cp the rockchip-Linux.config, make menuconfig, and then make -j6.  What did I miss?

Hi, a completely new user here!

I just bought my PineTIme, and it's the first product I've ever bought from Pine64. I was wondering if there is any reason for the PineTime to not support Unicode characters? The letters from my native language simply do not show up. Thanks to GadgetBridge I can at least replace those letters with other letters to better understand, but I find it weird that the device doesn't support Unicode.

So my question/point of discussion; Is there a technical limitation or something preventing Unicode-support? If so, what approach could the devs take to possibly support unicode or special characters? Is there any way a non-technical user can help out getting something like this through, or is it on some sort of roadmap already?

I checked my repository listing from within the Software app. It shows two debian repos (main and non-free), flathub, and two firmware repos. I was looking for the Mobian repo. Has the need for a Mobian repo been eliminated by the updated debian repos? Or is there something not quite right with my system configuration?

The Pine Phone is working better than ever. I'm just concerned that my phone won't be getting the latest updates.
