Hi, I followed all the instructions I could find to get VoLTE working. My carrier "Consumer Cellular" uses AT&T network which is soon totally disabling 3G so I must get VoLTE working. However I'm not sure if it is working. I need help understanding it.

I have Manjaro CE with Phosh.

I reached the carrier support and they succesfuly detected the modem model and enabled something on their end to allow VoLTE.

I followed the VoLTE steps on the main PinePhone wiki page.

I am curious what people are playing audiobooks on with their Pinephones, I think the defining trait of an audiobook player is that it saves your postion in the 'book' between listening sessions; bookmarks, skipping << < > >> controls, and playlists are important too as is playing most all formats.
I feel like a podcast player would be yet another category aside from music and audiobooks with much emphasis on browsing, auto-downloading, and organizing played/unplayed podcasts after reviewing gnome podcasts.
I consider an audiobook player to be a daily driver essential as I prefer books to music when driving long distances.
On my N900 I ran the simple but effective Panucci which is FOSS, I have not had a chance to try to compile for Mobian.

Panucci works well but only plays MP3 files, it also will wipe progress if I try to run the app without the current media found.

What do you recommend to play audiobooks on your pinephone?

In dmesg I have these error lines repeated multiple times:

sunxi-mmc 1c0f000.mmc: data error, sending stop command
sunxi-mmc 1c0f000.mmc: send stop command failed
mmc_erase: group start error -110, status 0x0
[...]
[b]mmc_erase: group start error -110, status 0x0[/b]

This is a bit strange because I am running from the sdcard.
Should I be worried ? Is my emmc dying ?

I'm considering investing some time into the platform and wonder how many devices have been sold? If this information is not public, a range would be very helpful to know. Thank you!

With the RK3588 hopefully coming later this year, and maybe arriving in Pine products early in 2022, I have some questions for people who are more familiar with the hardware supply situation right now.

Pine64 tries to keep the number of SKUs as small as possible, which is very respectable. However, I think a version of a possible RK3588 Pinebook with the ability to flip it's display around fully, a touch screen and accordingly low-latency pen input would be really useful, especially since the ARM processor would provide good battery life.

Are parts that would facilitate that kind of (of course slightly more expensive) PineBook Ultra model readily available, and is it realistic to manufacture? Is this something Pine64 would be interested in making?
Distributions running Gnome or Pantheon seem ready to be used with part-time touch input, and a pen would make taking notes really convenient.

Thanks!

Hello,

In order to investigate issues I want to change my linux distribution so I need to export (then import) my contacts.

I am currently using Mobian with Posh, my contacts are in the application Gnome Contacts 3.38.1.
I see no option to export a vcf file.
I would be happy with copying a configuration directory (like how you can backup ~.mozilla/firefox)

Any idea ?

I have edit the wiki with table for GPIO

https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Quartz64#GPIO_Pins

Can someone please check it? Thanks.

I was watching top via an SSH session.

When I select a new app there is a long delay before the new app shows up on the screen.

I had expected to see something like high CPU usage, or perhaps high io wait while the app is loading.

But I see neither.

What is going on during the long app startup times?

Do other people experience this behavior?

Maybe I am missing it, but is there a simple compass app in Debian Mobile?
I noticed that the map app doesn't show direction facing so maybe the hall sensor reading is not yet included in that system app?
As long as I am asking where is the GPS settings and on/off toggle or is it still at edit .conf file settings stage?
(edit)
Answering my own ??, there is an alpha compass app written by a forum member that has been tested on Debian Mobile.

Settings->Power->Automatic Brightness toggle
I can click the toggle to off and on as many times as I like the Automatic brightness stays stuck in the on setting
it never turns grey from blue and strangely never even completes its animmation and gets 'stuc' sometimes before completing it's slide to the left.
Is there a .conf file I can edit to fix this until the GUI works?
Also automatic brightness seems to slowly dial itself to the lowest setting over a minute to two without apparently adapting to ambient light.
