using the Files dmenu item doesn't open jpegs, I'm guessing others but I haven't tested

just flashed latest stable image

installed eog to try something that for sure adds mime items but no go

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. 

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!

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

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?

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 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!

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? 

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.

Hey all,

So I've been searching around the internet and have had almost no luck figuring out why my download speeds are so slow on the Pinebook Pro.

I haven't tried a whole bunch of distros or anything, just the Manjaro ARM that it came with, and Fedora 32 (GNOME).
In both Manjaro and Fedora, my download speeds are really slow.

In Manjaro, I get 2.5Mbps download, and 16Mbps upload speeds (I'm standing right next to my router too).
In Fedora, I ran the Ethtool command and put the wireless NIC in full duplex. My download speed went from 2.5Mbps to 5Mbps. My upload speed has stayed at a steady 26Mbps.

Has anyone else had this issue or know what it might be? I'm positive that it's not my internet connection. On my Lenovo Yoga and my custom build, I get at least 30Mbps download in my basement (a floor below my router).

I've run updates and everything. Before I updated Manjaro/Fedora after installation, my download speeds were in the Kbps, so obviously updating did help to some extent.

Are the wireless NICs in the Pinebook just that slow? I figure I wouldn't be getting a much higher upload speed if this was actually the case.
I couldn't seem to find any threads, any Youtube videos, or really anything regarding anyone else having this issue.

Any advice what so ever would be greatly appreciated.

If there's any information I missed that I should have provided, please let me know and I will do my best to provide it ASAP.
