I updated a couple of days ago. Now the pinetab2 won't boot any longer. What should I do? Use the adaptor and try to boot from SD card or reflash the internal memory? Thanx for any help.

How to create a right hand mouse click when only using the touchscreen?

App has a context menu that is launched by right mouse button click so location is position specific.

Long press would seem like the prefect option.

Attempting to set up sealed watch - able to set it up as a watch and was able to get it to pair with my android phone via gadgetbridge.  But attempts to install 1.14 INFINI time failed with "element can not be installed".  Held button and it goes through the White/GREEN pinecone (V 1.0.0) then goes to INFINI Time logo.  Then nothing.  However, when texts come in, the watch vibrates.

UPDATE: Let the phone drain, recharged - could connect via gadgetbridge for file transfer purposes - updated it using pinetime-mcuboot-app-dfu.1.14.0.zip. Watch came back to life.

Since a long time my PinePhone only turned on by trying twice (i.e. pressing the Power On button, taking out the battery, putting it back in, pressing the Power On button again).  At the first turning on, the LED was shortly on and shortly thereafter the phone rumbled.  This was annoying, but not annoying enough to try to fix it.

But then I didn't use it for the last two weeks (as I didn't need a phone during that time) and now even trying it twice doesn't work reliable (I did get it on twice still, so I'm pretty confident that it's still possible, but I don't know how and I sadly turned it off yesterday).  The failing starts still looks like back when trying twice worked (i.e. LED+rumble).

I'm pretty confident that it's not a battery issue because the same thing happens with only the battery in, with only a (good) charging cable and with battery and charging cable at the same time.

Googling didn't help this time (the first of the two times I got it to work was after trying to push the Reset Button as I read on the internet, but this seems to just have been an accident – or at least it doesn't work now), so any help is appreciated, thanks!

hey all,

for a long time I thought my mic problems were software related, as it would sometimes work. most of the time I was barely audible on calls with static, and now there is dead silence

after trying many different distros with no improvement I've come to the conclusion that something is physically wrong with the mic. in the past I did drop the phone a few times, and eventually replaced the screen (had a crack across the top.) other than that the phone hasn't had any other damages, and everything else works fine

I wanted to ask where exactly is the mic in the phone? I assumed that it would be on the usb board, but don't really see much there. everything looks to be connected properly. Since the mic works sometimes, I think there might be a way to fix it before resorting to buying a replacement part

Hi all-

I bought a regular pinephone (beta).

It seems to want to install booting emmc first.
Being a newbie, I flashed spi on it.
It boots and hands it off to k splash for plasma manjaro.

Then it peters out with a kernel os error.

Pinephone support says reinstall OS which I am attempting to do.

Two things:
1) the pinephone doesnt synch with my pc at this time windows 11.
2) I cant get into the boot order in  the firmware or reset in any way shape or form.

I have another thread posted today where i am debugging this issue but am waiting for further feedback.

It seems strange the choice to go with emmc first because 'stranger things HAVE happened' lol.

Please HELP.... thanks,
jim

There’s been a lot of grumbling the last few days among my friends about PPP and various power issues. Frankly, it makes a person a bit paranoid to enjoy their new device. As soon as I got it I mentally made note:

1. don’t even attempt to upgrade packages
   
2. take out the battery the instant you are done
   
3. find some way to prevent deep sleep
   
4. keep plugged in at all times https://www.fuelly.com/forums/f8/loose-g...22996.html
