  Bluetooth,
Posted by: yurievitch - 05-05-2021, 02:28 PM - Forum: PineTab Hardware - Replies (5)

I have an early adopter version and the internal Bluetooth has never worked. Do I need to enable it or use a dongle? I have an old Dlink DBT 122 that's past its prime. 
Does anyone know of one that works with PineTab?


  Connection Problems
Posted by: LinuxMathGuy - 05-05-2021, 02:01 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - No Replies

I got my Pinetime (sealed) yesterday and it was working great. The battery has been fine and I was connecting to Gadgetbridge ok, with an update of the default firmware to Infinitime 1.0. However, this morning, my phone has been unable to hold a connection to Gadgetbridge for more than 10 seconds. I tried to restart both the phone and watch but unsure how to restart the watch I accidentally factory reset it. However, I am still having trouble, even when forgetting and resetting the connection in Gadgetbridge, to maintain a connection long enough to do a firmware update OTA (this has been attempted with both my phone and my wife's phone, both Samsung S20FE running Gadgetbridge downloaded from F Droid). 

I am not sure if this is a hardware or software problem, but is there anything I could do to try to fix the connection.


  Arch Linux PinePhone scaling slider
Posted by: Chief - 05-05-2021, 01:08 PM - Forum: Arch Linux on PinePhone - Replies (5)

Greeting to all,
I'm a newbie at this forum stuff.
I suggest for Arch Linux ARM on PinePhone for the community to create a slider for scaling.
The slider could be located under the volume-brightness sliders. I see that a 100% / 200% scaling has been created in settings / Display which is great but if there were graduations at least of say 10% that would be perfect. This could solve several issues with apps in the software community as each app can be custom set and thereby much easier to use.


  Ensure Up To Date - Manjaro Plasma Discover Package Manager Sources

I just want to know how to check or authenticate that the discover app is accessing the latest software available. Have done one update via discover when recieved the phone but nothing has been available since.
it appears the github stable branch has newer releases than what discover is showing https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/pla...2105051237

  Pinebook Boot
Posted by: CharlesBunders - 05-05-2021, 08:58 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (14)

Just got my Pinebook Pro. Used it for a while and now won't finish booting in to Monjaro. Just a cursor in the top left. I can ctrl-f4 and it kicks to a command line prompt. Is there a way to just reset the system back to initial factory?

I tried to do a sudo pacman -Syu and chose no for most of the update questions. Any issues with accepting the defaults of this with a new system?


  How to turn it off/sleep
Posted by: rogerco - 05-05-2021, 08:29 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (4)

This may sound like a silly question, but I can't figure out how to turn the pine phone beta off!

A short press on the power button blanks the screen but doesn't seem to be a proper sleep mode, in that battery drain continues apace - flat from fully charged in 6 hours, same as if it was on and being used. (as an aside is 6 hrs battery life typical?)

A (very) long press on the power button does seem to force an immediate shut-down (like disconnecting the battery would), but it is not a graceful power down, more of a crash and when you turn it on again it seems to take at least three or four soft reboots before it is stable - it self reboots continuously every few seconds after the screen wakes up and eventually might wake up or you might have to do another forced shut-down.

I haven't added anything to mine yet, so it is the default factory config, except it did propose a system update, which I accepted, when first powered on.

Does this sound like something is wrong? (it does to me). How can I get it (back?) into a more usable state?

What is the correct procedure for sleep and power off?

  How best to help make the PinePhone better?
Posted by: KJ6OHG - 05-05-2021, 12:50 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Hi,
I have PinePhone Plasma and I like the potential of this device and I would like to do more to help it grow.
I have some experience Debian on desk top machines and raspberry pi. I have been trying Mobian and I like it over all. but there are a few apps would like to have.
My only programming experience was in Basic and that was more than 30 years ago, but I think I could learn how.
Is there something I can do to help?

Posted by: KJ6OHG - 05-05-2021, 12:23 AM - Forum: Quartz64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

As a kid my family had an OSBORNE EXECUTIVE Computer. A portable computer the size of a suit case with 2 floppy disks and a 7 inch CRT.
My plan is to build a portable computer using a Quartz64 or a RockPro64 in a case with 7 to 10 inch display. I am interested in the E-ink display but I am not sure if it would work well for my needs. So at this point I would like to get an LCD screen to connect to the DSI port so I can use the HDMI port for a big display.
I get confused trying to understand what screens would work.
Thank you,
