Brick Can send SMS but can't receive SMS with Beta 11..? Please help
Posted by: danimations - 07-13-2021, 02:14 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Hi,

I'm running Manjaro ARM w/ Phosh Beta 11 and can send, but can't receive SMS. This is creating major headaches for me, as this is a daily driver phone.

Are there any settings I should be looking into and changing or experimenting with?

Any insights would been deeply appreciated.

  Still trying, SMS not working
Posted by: Nutmeg - 07-12-2021, 11:31 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (17)

We have two Pinephones, both running Mobian at the moment.  My phone seems to finally be getting and sending SMS, but the other phone is not. We have the same version, with updates as of today.  I tried fiddling with the modem. I deleted and refreshed the APN connection in settings and also terminal. I tried using Modem Manager GUI. When I try to get messaging-list-sms on the modem, it shows no messages. Some of his messages send, some do not. He is not receiving any. We have tried reflashing. I think we have tried everything that we know how to do. 

I am out of ideas.  Huh


  How Do I Perform a Chatty Application Reinstall?
Posted by: rrholmes - 07-12-2021, 07:09 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (2)

I made a mistake and deleted my Chats (Chatty) application.  Somehow, in the process, I manageed to get the O/S to say that the application is installed but now the icon is missing.  Not sure exactly what I did wrong now.  The Mobian O/S states that the application was last updated on June 26, 2021.  Can someone point me in the right direction on this issue???  Thanks in advance!


  Using magnetic automotive phone holders
Posted by: henrythemouse - 07-12-2021, 01:18 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (5)

I'm going full time with my pine phone and would like to use the magnetic holder I have in my car.

Code:
https://www.mobarmor.com/shop/mobnetic-pro-90-129211

The magnet is on the holder itself, covered by a rubber sleeve. A thin plate of metal is stuck to the phone/case. The magnet uses this plate for an attachment point. I've used this method on my phones for years without any issues, but perhaps the pine phone has it's internals in places that other phone don't or is less protected in some way. I like my pine phone and don't want to mess it up!

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with using magnetic holders on the pine phone. Or if anyone can say  whether or not the pine phone would be effected by using this method.

Any ideas?


  Plasma portrait to landscape transition
Posted by: dwsdad - 07-12-2021, 09:08 AM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - No Replies

I'm a new user, so please bear with me.  I just installed Manjaro Plasma, which all in all went well, but upon login I get half a screen showing the GUI, the bottom half black.  I turned it sideways (landscape) and saw the entire GUI, rotated it back to portrait and had an entire screen of GUI.  This happens after every logout/screen timeout.  Is there some setting I need to change to fix this?


  Intermittent Mobile Data
Posted by: csmgj7 - 07-12-2021, 07:55 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (4)

Greetings:
Just went to T-Mobile in Greece, NY this past Friday to have my new Pine64 phone activated. 

To make a long story short, when you first boot it up, in Cellular Networks tab under settings, it shows APN as fast.t-mobile.com. But when you try to access the internet, it doesn't work (I forget the error message right now). But if I wait long enough it will connect to the internet. HOWEVER if I let it sit long enough, it will lose network connectivity altogether. It will show nothing under Access Points or SIM Cards. It's running Manjaro-ARM that it shipped with. KDE Plasma version 5.21.2. KDE Frameworks Version 5.79.0. Qt version 5.15.2. Kernel 5.11.3-1Majaro-ARM. Not sure which, if any, you needed. I attempted to do an update, but it errored out concerning dependencies. 

I'm new to this. What should I do? 

If it makes a difference, I'm currently in Orangeburg, SC at this time. I drive truck.


  For those of us that need a working daily driver
Posted by: Nutmeg - 07-11-2021, 02:35 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (6)

For some history, my husband and I had old flip phones on 3G until they stopped working due to discontinuation of 3G service.  Our phones stopped working rather quickly and we are unwilling to embrace standard Smartphones for daily use.  We turned to the Pinephone, hoping that it might be stable enough for phone/text, which is all that we had before.  After a one month trial, and some serious head banging on the wall, I am feeling done until things get ironed out a bit more.  We both use Linux on computers, but we are not programmers and do not know much about development.  I am pretty much done trialing all of the various OS and have not had any consistent luck with any of them actually working for phone/text for daily use.  

Here is my question, and it is not specifically Pinephone related:  THe Pinephone does not currently seem capable of being a daily driver for us since we really only need phone/text (which is what a phone is for IMHO).  Do any of you know what other options are out there (affordable) for people who do not want classic smartphones to track us, spy on us, etc., but need a mobile phone/text that can run on 4G?  I do not really want another flip phone, as they are difficult at best.  If we were to buy a used phone that could run Ubuntu Touch, are the original Operating Systems disabled so that there is no longer any tracking, etc., or is it just a dual boot with the other OS running in the background?  I am considering that option while I wait for Pinephone development, but cannot figure out if UT wipes out the phone similar to a computer Linux installation vs. a dual boot. 

Thank you in advance for your thoughts!

  Dark theme (on Mobian)?
Posted by: TRS-80 - 07-11-2021, 11:55 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (10)

I could have sworn I had this working before?  However, I had to re-install recently, and now I'll be damned if I can find even any option for Themes in the Settings app...  Am I going crazy?  Confused


  Please stop using Google Captcha
Posted by: halogen - 07-10-2021, 07:13 PM - Forum: General - Replies (2)

currently passing a Google Captcha is a requirement for registration.

I 'd argue both the company and the act (you tell them what website you visited and train their AI, free of charge) are going against the values Pine64 stands for.

please consider removing it and using alternative, self-hosted solutions for human verification.
