Usually the sound on my PBP has been fairly good, but the most recent set of Manjaro stable channel updates I've been getting stuttering/cutouts in videos played via chrome.

Checking the logs they're full of acpi messages about the sound. I stopped apcid service with

systemctl stop acpid

and manually restarted it from the command line with:

acpid

and the problems have gone away. Anyone know what the cause is or suggest any possible solution?

I searched but did not find a thread about this, apologies if I missed it.



I have been investigating app development (especially on Phosh) and I came across a nice video from our very own @pizzalovingnerd the other day, showing just how easy it can be to whip up some little app, using Phosh and Python:

And from the looks of it, it is actually quite easy!




I just want to encourage anyone who has some interest in this area to pursue it!  If you are a student, retired, or otherwise have a little time on your hands and like to tinker and learn, there are a lot of little small and useful apps that could be written, for example:

• Some GUI to display GPS and cell tower data (like all those on Android)
  
• Some note capture app (customized to your liking)
  
• A todo.txt app (slightly more involved)
  
• There are some threads around with people requesting things (maybe we should link them here)
  
• Whatever grabs your interest
  

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with Phosh 0.12. When the screen is off OR if the screen is on but I'm using another app, the notifications for messages (such as sms, telegram, webapps) are silent. If the screen is off, the display turns on and shows the lockscreen and the led light blinks, but there is no sound or vibration. If I'm in another app, the notification displays at the top of the screen, but the phone does not make a sound or vibrate. However, if the screen is on and I am using that app, the phone will make a sound and vibrate.

Phone calls ring and vibrate no matter what state the phone is in, so at least there is that.

I have checked in the notifications gui settings and every setting for the messaging apps is set to the same values as the Calls app. I have also gone into the terminal and run:

I am hoping to help the team behind Retroarch figure out why it is crashing on the Pinephone. The current theory is that there is some issue between the Lima driver and Wayland, so they asked if I can replicate the issue using Xorg instead of Wayland. Is that even possible on the Pinephone? 

I have Manjaro/Plasma Mobile and Mobian/Phosh set up at the moment, but am willing to use other distros for troubleshooting.

This is embarrassing. But I could really use some advice.

I bricked my computer trying to update the keyboard/touchpad firmware using this repo: https://github.com/jackhumbert/pinebook-...rd-updater. 

The problem is that I installed the ISO instead of the ANSI, so now my keys are all mismatched. 

One option seems to be to try to map the new keys to the old keys. But since I've only got the password field of the login to work with, it's tough to verify what's what.

Any better advice? I'm open to reinstalling the OS or just about anything.

Just a warning guys,

I was under influence of a random YT movie where someone was saying that pinecill will possibly take T12 tips. 

It will not!

it has similar dimensions and shape but there are very different. T12 are much longer

Don't even try putting it in. It will short the output and damage the iron.
From now the iron is not able to sense the temperature nor regulate it so the tip is fully on, making it glowing red.

For now, I diagnosed that one of the MOSFETs in U13/CJQ7328  is dead short. I don't have one handy. I will let you know later if replacing it fixes the problem.

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.

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!
