Can someone help clear up my understanding of bluetooth services and attributes on Infinitime? I figured out how to set date and time using gatttool, but am confused as to why there are three different characteristics associated with the CurrentTime service, and how I could have found that out from the source code instead of trial and error with gatttool until I found something that looked like a time and date code.

In Infinitime/src/components/ble/CurrentTimeService.h, I can see that ctsId sets the UUID of the CurrentTime service to 0x1805. gatttool tells me this has three characteristics with handles 17, 18, and 19. Handle 19 has the date and time, and gatttool can set time on the watch with char-write-cmd. But what are handles 17 and 18 doing? And where in the source code are these characteristics defined?

Thanks,

What really bugs me a lot is the wake on touch feature on every device it comes with, 99% of the time it wakes on touch by accident, leaving the screen on while sucking the battery dry like a vampire.
So is there a way to turn that off for Plamo?

Hello,

I have recently changed the motherboard of my Pinephone Braveheart to switch to the 3GB version.
Since the change I have a problem: the phone crashes (instantly goes from running to powered-off) after a few minutes (between 10s. & 10 min).
If I leave the phone plugged to power (for example to a USB battery) it will not crash (not even if I use it to browse the web for 1 hour, or if I let it run idling during the night).

All other functions work fine.
The phone runs hot, but that was already the case with the original motherboard.
I am running up-to-date Mobian.
I am running from SD card, I will flash to the eMMC asap to see if it helps.
I had not this problem before changing the motherboard (crashes were rare, maybe once a month), but I was running from eMMC.

I tried logging dmesg -w to a file but this does not show anything conclusive.

Any idea for how to debug this ?
Should I try other distros ? How likely is it to be due to running from SD card ?

Thanks in advance

Hello everybody .
I was wondering if someone know or if it is some kind of wipe/delete function in Mobian,
Maybe if I enter the wrong password to many times then the phone automatically erase and shredd everything on it or Delete the encryption key,is this some function that I can get on my pine phone?
And if there is any program that clear all logs and stuff every time you reboot or turn of the phone?
I hope u guy’s understand what I mean and thank you so much for this forum it’s great 
Have a nice day!

I'm thinking of this in terms of a desktop linux installation where, after installing whatever flavor of linux you wanted to install, you could then apt-get install a variety of front ends like Gnome, KDE, XFCE, and so on...

...is there an easy way from the terminal to download and install phosh or ? without the whole download a new install, put it on the SD card, and wipe the phone?

Hello!

I'm working on a project that requires a BLE scanner to upload data to a database over cell network. I'm thinking this would be a perfect application for a Pinephone but I am unsure where to start. I haven't been able to find any support documents on how to access the bluetooth hardware on the PP. Can anyone here point me in the right direction? I was thinking I could find some Raspberry Pi examples and go from there. I have some experience in developing for Raspberry Pi but not much.

So far, I have the Pinephone connected to my laptop via UART and have access to the phone. Thinking I can scrub something from this github repo: https://github.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevi...t-firmware but I'm not really sure what. 

Cheers!

Hello,

I got a usb-c to vga adapter, but when I use it to connect a screen to the rockpro64 it does not work.

The adapter does work if I connect it to a laptop, so the issue here is about the rockpro64.

Does anyone know how to make the adapter work for the rockpro64?

I do not see any output in dmesg when I connect the adapter to the usb-c port, but if I connect other devices to it it works properly (I have a usb-c to ethernet adapter that works fine). So the problem seems to be only with the screen adapter.

Thanks!

Here's what happens inside the WiFi Driver on PineCone BL602... And how we found the (incomplete) source code for the driver

Reverse Engineering WiFi on RISC-V BL602

Hello!

One of my interest in this board is to evaluate and experiment with the RockPro64. Is it possible, and how, to disable only the A72, and use on the A53? And I would like to have the A72 disabled from power-on. One evaluation is ARM Trustzone on the board, and as the first step want to evaluate it only with the A53.

When I turn on the phone, it flashes the LED once, then the K-with-a-gear logo shows up.  The gear turns briefly, then stops, then the phone turns off again. 

This is the beta edition with the stock Manjaro Plasma OS.  Yesterday afternoon I updated using pacman -Syyu.  Everything was good yesterday evening.  The phone turned itself off overnight, and this is what I found this morning.  Removing and replacing the battery didn't help.  Since I can't get it to stay on for a full minute, I'm not sure how to fix this.  

Any ideas?
