Lmao I'd almost start fearing for an incoming BSOD if this situation occurs on Winblows

Hi there,

I've just received my pinetime (sealed), and it's a neat device but it seems that the swipe is not recognized correctly. It's really difficult to change app, and when I'm launching the "paint game", it's unusable (pixel seems randomly printed). I can click buttons though, so the touch screen is more or less working. I've updated to infinitine 1.0 including boot and recovery following wiki instruction.

Is there an app/way to check if swipes are recognized correctly? Is there a way to calibrate or fix it somehow?

I've also tried to install wasp-os 0.4 (it's super neat to have a micropython console to your watch, great potential!), and I've tried snake to check the screen, it's absolutely impossible to play: I can't go down, and it's really hard to make it move in any of the other 3 directions. Is it working correctly for people here? If so, I'm afraid that my device has an hardware issue.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

hands up, my fault.

In my haste to check my new Pinecil was working, and as cool as seen on You Tube. I quickly hooked up my bench supply, via a barrel connector with alligator clips, and powered it up.

Wasn't supposed to be on long, just a quick test... Long story short alligator clip slipped and... spark...

Didn't kill it. But decided to put it away until my new power supply 65W USB arrived, and a new USB C to USB C lead.

Powered up, but only in one orientation of the USB lead connection, and only on 9V...

Suspected lead at first, but testing on my son's charger and lead showed his Pinecil working fine on both chargers and both leads.. 20V negotiated no problem.

However, it also transpired that 12V 1.5A seems to work when in a different socket of the charger. Still lead would only work one way up.

Opened it up, everything seems OK, but apparent issue around C2 and CC2 connection on FUSB320MPX.

Which explained the lead only connecting in one orientation, and lead us to suspect the FUSB320.

Ordered up a new FUSB320 chip and some 220pF capacitors, and my son swapped them out with his SMD stuff...

Bitter sweet result, leads now connect in both orientations. But, will still only negotiate at 9V 3A, and 12V 1.5A. on the chargers.

Does anyone here have enough experience of the FUSB320 and or the Pencil to help identify what might be preventing the proper negotiation of the Pinecil...

Is there a hidden fuse?
would re-flashing fix it...?

It (touch wood) still works, heats up display is fine, but doesn't negotiate the power connection 'fully'....

Thanks for any help.

I am interested in trying to get a PineTime DevKit but sadly the official website doesn't ship to India another website says that they do it is fabtolab.com .

Are they trustable?

As you may know, the ROCK64 Aluminium case does not allow you to press buttons without the use of some utensil to stick into the hole. After having heard of a different user who superglued some plastic pegs to the buttons of his ROCK64, I became inspired to make my own version, which is glueless and just has the plastic pegs sit in the holes, held in by a lip that keeps them inside.



The pegs are 3D printed from PLA using a 0.25mm nozzle on a Prusa i3 MK3, though larger nozzles and other printers should work as well. You can download the STL and STEP files from the wiki here: Download .zip



Installation is simple, to quote from the wiki:

Quote:To use the pegs, open your case and remove the ROCK64 from within. Be sure to pull out the light guide and rubber plug to remove it, or else it will catch on them. Once it is removed, turn your bottom half of the case such that the holes for PWR and RST are pointing towards the floor, and drop the pegs into the holes from inside the case, so that the lip prevents them from falling through. Hold them in position with your finger, turn the case the right side up again, and reinstall your ROCK64.

Hi. Pine64 still sells the IR receiver with remote
for the A64 SBCs. Sorry for sounding nooby.
I bought the phone from Pine64 to learn all 
these new things about tech .
Q:
How much would one have to modify a
Pinephone mainboard to return the IR socket
that exist on the A64 boards?

Hi guys/gals - 
I used to be able to hear my phone ring, but since the last update a few days ago (Plasma Mobile) - or maybe I messed it up - I can barely hear it ring. I tried to adjust the volume by overclocking it, but it doesn't seem to do much beyond distort the (still very quiet) ring. wife gonna be mad at me if I keep missing her calls, lol.....

Also, unrelated - is speakerphone mode supposed to work yet? 

Thank you in advance!

Hey all, I just flashed all the InfiniTime firmwares to the 1.0.0 on my pinetime that I just got yesterday; smooth process following the wiki, this thing is pretty awesome.

The new version of the software actually includes 3 ''games''.  The first is just drawing with your finger on the screen, there's one-player pong game where you just bounce be ball against the wall instead of having an opponent.  The last game, called ''2'', is perplexing to me and I'm wondering if anybody knows how to play it.  It's a 4 x 4 grid and starts off blank except for 2 squares that both have a 2 in them.  When you swipe any direction, the values get pushed to the edge, you get new values and I think some of the existing ones get added... I got a high score of 668... I'm just curious to know if anybody knows the actual rules to this game.

edit: I think you have to match 2 similar numbers and it doubles them, I'm at 1688 high score now.

hi guys

Since i dont own pinephone (im waiting for it) I would like to start coding/compiling some stuff that ill use later on phone in my free time on my laptop. Do we have some information / Howto / tutors how to setup proper environment in qemu to run pinephone oses in virtualisation?

Thank for all pro tips In this topic

I just found out that my phone has problems with the ov5640 camera firmware as reported here. The firmware is loaded, but apparently can't be started correctly which leads to the autofocus feature not working. Other than that taking pictures works. This is the output from dmesg:
