I got a PinePhone  "Manjaro" a few months ago. As I was not ready to use it I thought I should charge the battery in the mean time.
Now that I have a SIM to use I put it in the phone. Now the screen comes up asking for a "passcode" number which i never set in the first place.
How do I reset this or what else do I do to get past this problem?
Thanks - Crawford.

OSM Scout Server and Pure Maps were pretty easy to install via flathub. Just open the links in a browser, tap install and open with the software app. It takes a while, but works a charm.
OSM Scout Server for offline maps: https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/io....coutServer
Pure Maps navigation and maps UI: https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/io....s.PureMaps

My issue is that I can't seem to get Pure Maps to use my GPS data. It has Online, Offline, and Mixed profiles. Ideally I would completely avoid using network location tracking and only use the GPS. This is both for privacy reasons but also because the VPN on my phone throws the network tracking completely off. I tried digging around to see if there was something I had to configure on the modem or some such, but I don't know very much about it and couldn't find any straight forward manner of getting the GPS working with Pure Maps or even gnome maps. I am open to using a different interface for navigation. If someone has the GPS working with a different application, I'm willing to switch.

Hello,
i tested the simulator from https://lupyuen.github.io/pinetime-rust-.../simulator
but i cant get an success.

If i use Clock.cpp (corrected case in paths), there is a error with date.h

when i change in simulate.yml to WacthFaceDigital.cpp or WacthFaceAnalog.cpp, the bul druns, but the display in emscripten doesn't change. Now i renamed WatchFaceDigital.cpp to Clock.cpp, but the build hangs again on date.h

Has anybody used the Simulator with actual Infinitime version (1.3.0) and could tell me how to get this to run?

I am looking to link up Axolotl with my Signal Desktop client and it requires scanning the QR code and copy/pasting the scanned info into Axolotl. Megapixels shows the code but it is hard to make out, does anyone know how I could save the text from that?

Sorry if the answer is obvious, but I am new to Deb/Mobian.

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*)
