Hello,

I have a Pinebook Pro for sale. It has the UK ISO keyboard and 64GB flash.
I provide the original NVME adapter (the first one that you have to modify to fit inside the PBP).
European charger.
Serial USB adapter.

3 rubber feet are missing. Otherwise it is in good shape and clean.
It is installed with Ubuntu Mate and crash from time to time on boot (see : https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8436 ). You have then to force the shutdown and start it again. No crash when it has started.

I can send in the EU, but I live in France near the French/German/Swiss border if someone want to buy it without shipping costs.
Price : 150 euros + shipping.

Hello. I have a Pinebook Pro listed on eBay and I thought it might gain some traction if I post here. I was going to use it for making notes at university, in lectures. However, due to COVID everything has been online, so I haven't used it in months as I have a better specced PC. 

PBP specs are as follows:

• UK keyboard layout
  
• 64GB eMMC
  
• NVME add-on board
  
• European charger
  
• USB eMMC reader/writer
  

Hi. i can't send sms right now..the app is too far right outside of the screen, how can i fix it quick? Need to send a text! thanks!

How do i fix popups, buttons that are outside of the screen sometimes? I love the phone.. But i need to come up with a universal solution to this. An universal solution so all apps fit the phone screen maybe? Thanks

i searched:
https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php...ale-to-fit

What's the scale-to-fit???

5 of 5 Points, fully optimized ? I would say 4 out of 5? Because of the scale..
Edit: I fixed not seeing the button with unlocking the screen rotation and rotating the picture.

Some of the keys on my Pinebook Pro keyboard no longer register any input (after a heavy object fell on them). Apart from that inconvenience, the device works perfectly. I therefore plan to purchase a replacement keyboard (https://pine64.com/product/pinebook-pro-...-keyboard/) and to assemble the other components on it.

My questions are as follows:

- What equipment do I need for the dis/reassembly? I own a screwdriver set and have verified that I can take off the bottom case and loosen any screw fixing the internal components (mainboard, battery, ...). Do I need anything else?

- Am I right in assuming that I can remove the internal components one-by-one, and then reassemble them in reverse order (to the one when removing) on the new keyboard?

- Is there anything I should take special care of or watch out for?

- Are there any guides on changing the keyboard of the Pinebook Pro? A DDG/Google search has produced no (useful) results.

Many in thanks in advance,
gabb

I tried to get some cheap phone headset[0] working with my PinePhone recently, to no avail.  It seemed to pair (I think?) but I could neither hear nor talk through it.  This was on fairly recent version of Mobian.

Do I need to switch OS?

Or maybe this headset[0] is not supported in Linux for some reason (maybe I should try device on another Linux box, or try different headset?)?

Or maybe I was just doing something wrong?  I played with quite a few settings, to no avail so far.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

[0] Headset is a Road King model 920.

Edit: my bad guys, I found the issue: https://github.com/JF002/InfiniTime/issues/374 I'm going to leave the post here for other who are like me and will come here first.

I got my sealed pinetime awhile ago and I'm wondering if anyone has the same problem and was able to fix it.

I believe it came with InfiniTime v.1.0 and I found and updated using the dfu zip from here. https://github.com/JF002/InfiniTime/releases/tag/1.1.0

The first time it failed, it lost the connection to the watch and everything seemed fine so I tried a second time. This worked without issue and I was on v1.1. Then 3 days later I noticed that the watch wouldn't connect to my android phone with Gadgebridge v0.57.0 from F-Droid. I held the only button and the watch rebooted. Upon reboot the watch booted with v1.0.

Now no matter what I do I cant get the update to work, it just says "Element cannot be installed". I've deleted the Gadgebridge app and tried again, rebooted the watch phone, tried plugged in, not plugged in, etc.


I waited for the pineTime to be "released" so I could be an end user so I don't really want to open it up or solder anything, though I'm willing to. Do you guys have any further suggestions as to what I can do to get back on v1.1?

Thanks!

Hello,
I wanted to try the OS and I am positively surprised how well it runs.
Unfortunately, my sim card was only recognized on the 1st boot.
Mobile data, SMS and calls went smoothly.
On the 2nd reboot, the sim card was no longer recognized.
However, it still works. Tested in another smartphone.
How to get the problem solved ?
My version is 4.0.1.48.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Greetings
Steffen

Last week I asked @"Aberts10" to do a bit of cleaning on the forum. Threads that haven't seen activity prior to January 2021 have been locked to prevent "necro-posting". Content of the threads is still available, of course. 

Stickied threads have also been reviewed to make sure they're still relevant.

If you have any suggestions, or think we've missed something during the clean-up, please let us know. 

Hello,

I have a big problem... Soon we switch from HomeOffice to presence teaching at my professional school and I need a working PBP there. All my past notes live inside Xournal files and I'm very bad at using pens, so I completely relied on my PBP in school.

Since a few weeks, I randomly encounter the following problem:
Out of sudden, mostly when moving the PBP gently the screen blacks out instantaneously, only the backlight stays on. The only thing I may do then is to turn it off via holding the power key.

It isn't just the screen, as I was hearing music lately and it blacked out, the music stopped too and 2 seconds from there my bluetooth headphones played there "disconnected" tts voice.
I also looked at journalctl, but there are no traces of whatsoever. Thinking it may be a loose eMMC or the latest kernel upgrade I grabbed a fresh manjaro image, dd'ed it onto an µSD card and booted from that. It didn't even took me 10mins while configuring the new system to hit the black-out problem :/
Looking inside, nothing seems to be odd, I checked all the connectors, replugged them but that dind't change anything.

Now I'm "at the end of my latin" how you would sometimes say in germany. I don't know what to do now and I didn't find any other mentions of such a problem here or via google. So i may ask: Has anyone any idea how I can fix this, debug this or where to look for further help?

Kind regards,
Jochen
