Hi,

I am running phosh on manjaro on my pinephone. When I connect the usb docking bar, I am then able to connect, for example, a usb sound card to the dock, and it shows up in sound settings. Without the dock, plugging anything into the usb C port on the phone turns the screen off. This includes a simple usb-c to usb-a female cable.

How can I use the usb port for peripherals? Is it possible to use the pogo pins for usb peripherals?

Thanks.

I have contacts who have asked me to use Telegram and Signal with them. Are there mobile versions for Mobian? It looks like the desktop versions of both programs need the user to scan a QR code in using the mobile versions to get started, and I don't have an Android or iOS device. (Searching the Mobian Software library didn't find anything.)

Hi,

I recently bought a 3 pack pinetimes and flashed one of them with infinitime 1.0 RC 4 and another with 1.0. Now, both heart rate sensors show really high values for my heart rate going up to 200 and more, but mostly being around 120-140. When I sensed my heart rate manually I counted between 60-70 bpm.
I am wearing them normal, not too tight, not too loose. I also tried different positions or to press them stronger to my skin, without any effect.
I don't know. Am I missing something? Is anybody else experiencing high heart rate values?

Cheers
Andy

Hi all,

I was wondering whether there was a "kit" version of the PinePhone that allowed the user to customise the hardware?

Specifically the customisations I'm looking at:
- SMA connection for external cellular antenna: in spite of being on one of the "better" carriers (Telstra) here in Australia, sometimes I'm in places where reception is not great
- enlarged battery (presently I get about 2 days stand-by on my ZTE T83, I'd like to expand this)

I also thought it'd be cool to do something unique case-wise: maybe using thin pine sheets for the front/back cover with clear acrylic in between edge-lit from inside with notification LEDs.  It'd be a literal "pine" phone, and I think could be made to look good and really sell the concept of an end-user customisable smartphone platform.  A custom enclosure also means I can accommodate the larger battery and external antenna connection much easier too.

Hi,

I just received my Rockpro64, I plugged the fan in, and then added the SATA adapter and some drives, plugged in the HDMI, made an armbian sdcard according to the instructions, and then plugged in the board with the power supply I ordered from Pine64.

I can hear the drives spin up, I see a little green light, but nothing else. The fan doesn't spin (is it supposed to?) I get nothing on the HDMI display.

What can I do to debug what is going on here?

Thanks!

Let me intruduce idea how performance can be increased on the PinePhone.

I know about https://github.com/Frogging-Family
This GitHub contain patches for increase compatibility with games, nvidia drivers, kernel performance and more.
Linux-tkg can use more schedulers (BMQ, MUQSS, PDS, UNDEAD-PDS), but mainline linux have only CFS.

Next useful project is Xanmod https://xanmod.org/
It's something similar like Linux-tkg, but it use different patches.

So i think if we cherry pick right patches from both projects, performance on the PinePhone can be better without affecting battery life or temperature.
In my opinion, following patches is useful for the PinePhone:
1. More schdeulers - people can try, what scheduler bring top performance.
2. Tickless kernel
3. CK's high-resolution kernel timers (hrtimer)
4. Full multi-core block layer runqueue


What do you think guys? Should i write to https://megous.com/git/linux/about/ or do you have more or better idea?

Hi everybody,

-- short version for the impatient :-)

I have 2 questions:
- when does the yellow LED go on/off on the ASM1062 board?
- what is the minimal setup of rockpro64 that should not show "gen1 timeout" errror but some entries in lspci etc?


-- long version

i have bought 

• a rockpro64 2.1 board (builddate 2018-07-02)
  
• according 60W power supply
  
• nas case
  
• asmedia 1062 pcie board
  
• 14 TB Toshiba SATA disk
  
• 512 MB Sandisk SATA SSD
  

• see the gen1 timeout on u-boot. 
  
• When starting u-boot and issuing the
  
  pci
  
  command, i usually get "No such Bus" back.
  

Does a cable come with the pinecil or do we have to buy the cable separately?

Hey Everyone,

I've created a simple GUI to access passwords stored with pass.
Right now, if you already have your pass repository setup on your device,
you can use PinePass to search for passwords and copy them to the clipboard.

Packaging is in a rough state right now, and no launcher entries are added but
you can check it out here: https://github.com/mpnordland/pine_pass

It's still very experimental, so don't @ me if it eats your passwords. (Really don't think that will happen, but still...)

Love to hear feedback/questions.

Hi

First I want to apologize if this has been answered.  I have been looking at the website and the forums but I can't seem to find the answer.
It's a while since I'm seeing there's stock for the PBP but with ANSI keyboard. I'd like to buy a new PBP but with ISO layout.

Do we have an estimated date for stock of the PBP but with the ISO keyboard?

Thanks
