I'm interested in buying a Pinetab for use with an open-source split columnar keyboard (to be assembled with my Pinecil), so I'm ambivalent about the Pinetab keyboard. Charging cable is obviously vital though. Shipping to Poland. Thanks in advance.

This feels very dumb, but I just can't get it.

• connected via USB cable. Supposedly just shows up in Dolphin. In my case, No. Not under Network Places, not anywhere that I can see.
  
• I really really really don't want to go the whole ssh route. For me, that's a huge bother just to transfer a file or two every couple of weeks.
  
• bluetooth: seems to work ok on the pinephone, but I just can't get it to work on the desktop. So apparently that's out. Seems to be a hardware issue? (Generally, I never use bluetooth.)
  
• smb: I guess it should work, but I don't see how or where. I've never used it so I have no clue where to start.
  
• ftp: keeps asking me for hostnames. I don't know. Mobian? 10.60.0.10:21 (for ordinary ftp). I downloaded filezilla on the desktop in the hope that would help, but it doesn't seem to see either the usb-attached local device or tell me what the hell it wants for host name etc.
  

I have seen quite a lot of people getting frustrated with their SIM adapters and i would like to propose a solution / future design upgrade:

I had the same exact issue with the SIM adapter, i solved it by cutting the end of the adapter so I could insert the SIM card without removing the adapter. I tried removing the adapter with the SIM inserted and it did not break any parts so far.

I would suggest either users cutting off the end of the adapter so it's possible to insert SIM card into the device without attempting to ruin the pins or Pine team to make and provide in the box a modified SIM adapter of course if there is a possibility.

I've seen a ton lately about getting Signal and telegram up to 100% functionality on Pinephone. I totally support this, however i want to ask everyone here thats working on those projects to instead, or also rather, consider putting effort into getting Session onto pinephone. This should be way easier as it already has a linux version. Should be as simple as scaling to fit the screen. Session is a more private fork from signal that does not use any personal identifiable info, does not require a phone number, and routes all messages through TOR nodes.

I received my PinePhone Beta Edition today. So I run the system update and tried some of the features.

I wanted to test the video playback but "Clip" was stuck at the splash screen. I then checked the installed apps and saw there's also "mpv" available. Running either of them via the Terminal or the App menu causes a core dump.

I checked the Wiki and such and didn't really figure out where I have to create a ticket for such a problem. Any pointers are appreciated.

I'm on a updated manjaro image that came with the pinephone beta edition.

I'm trying to get spacebar to compile.  To help fix some bugs in this thing.

It has a required library called libqofono . But when I go to install it on a mostly stock system it complains about existing files in the install directory.

libqofono: /usr/share/qt5/mkspecs/features/qofono-qt5.prf exists in filesystem (owned by libqofono-qt5)

And many others.

Was this library compile and installed with make install manually on the shipped image? I'm not sure how to proceed from this.

Tomorrow, May 15th we will present Sxmo at AlpineConf 2021 (online). Our talk is scheduled at 14:30 UTC / 16:30 CEST / 10:30 EDT .

Feel free to attend or simply watch the presentation at a later time at your leisure!

hello,

decided to post my query here but it is really a continuation of my possible modem problems in the hardware section,

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=13885

in trying to understand my problem with my limited knowledge i consulted the pin64 wiki page - modem section,

https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone

and realized i had to use minicom to get at the information i wanted. i downloaded minicom and am now stuck at how exactly to set up my serial device in minicom! i would like to be able to see the volte list in the above link for the command, AT+QMBNCFG="list". i have a feeling this may be part of my problem. i am on a budget network of telus in canada, koodo/telus. when i enter the command, minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2, again from the above link, i get the message 'cannot open serial port ttyUSB2.

any help would be appreciated,

thanks

I just received my (sealed) PineTime and naturally updated the firmware to version 1.0 (according to Getting Started and the Wiki Guide).

I'm pretty impressed by it, except for one thing:

The vibration for notifications is not noticable. When the watch lies plain on the table and a notification is received I can hear a faint sound. On the wrist I feel nothing at all.

I looked at the Quick Actions menu, toggled the notification settings on and off (green and gray I presume) a couple of times, rebooted the watch, but to no avail.

Is it possible this is a software issue that could be resolved in a newer version, or could this be a hardware defect?

I found this issue about the duration of the vibration, but I don't think the duration is the problem. There is no vibration noticable.
