first let me say, I'm abscessed with this phone. I just love the idea of a private phone. as far as os's, i have tried ut, plasma, manjaro, arch, pm and mobian. All recently. The best by far is mobian. As this is supposed to be a phone, it would be nice to be able to use it as a phone. As in being able to make and receive calls. With mobian its about 95% there, the others, in my experience, calls are not there. Arch impressed me with how fast it was but no calls (yet). 
  Its been fun watching mobian improve. its stable and getting faster. It has been my daily driver since 2/2021. for me there are only three gripes. 1. received call have a lot of static 2. no netflix. 3. not able to sent attachments with texts.  
 I'm an average user so I'm not tech savvy enough to get a vpn or axolotl working so i guess I'll have to impatiently wait for an app. So thanks all you folks at mobian, nice job!

The GPS reception on my PinePhone has been poor (no satellites!), and I'd like to improve it with an external antenna.

Can anyone clarify which u.fl connector is the GNSS antenna (and whether it should be "active")? There seems to be at least three on the mainboard.

I am hoping the coax going to the USB-C board ANT104 could be it, but the schematics "helpfully" inticate only that it's an RF antenna, not which one. Wi-Fi? BT? LTE/CDMA? Or GNSS?

Much appreciated if someone can clarify.

can you help

Greetings!

Does the board have audio or microphone input?


Ogogon.

Hello Piners - As many of you (i am only assuming), I've followed with great interest the latest magic from both Biktor & [i]Konrad - [/i]highlighted in both the April 
update for their awesome work, but also more recently following 0.2.1 release[i], which I flashed (pretty straightforward) [/i]on a PmOS CE/Mobian unstable/5.10x.

All went well - modem rebooted, power management is a pass, so as outgoing calls - incoming, however, fail.
Back to stock (sigh...) with both incoming/outgoing calls ok.

I haven't seen any open issue on GitHub - and hopefully I ain't double-posting either over here, but...am I the only one with such experience?

Many thanks for any idea you may have.

Cheerio!

Hi all,
I tried reaching the Pine64 sales team multiple times via e-mail over the past year, but they never responded :/
I'm currently waiting for the PineTab to get back in stock again (I was happy to see that it got some attention during the last April update), but I'm also aware that it probably doesn't suit my needs in terms of performance.
I currently own an iPad Pro, but I want to get rid of it (it's the last device I own that runs a user-subjugating OS). I'm looking for a halfway viable FOSS alternative (I know that Apple is pretty much leading the tablet market, but hope dies last). The PineTab was the first GNU/Linux tablet I stumbled across, and it appears to be the only one.
I'd be happy if somebody could point me to some (more powerful?) alternatives that I can drop more money on.
Is the PineTab suitably for casual use (web browsing, writing text documents in Vim, etc.)? Can it handle a more bloated OS like GNOME? Does it have (GPU-backed) hardware acceleration?
Thanks!

When I try to access the smb shares in nemo by clicking on the network on the side bar it displays nothing, just a blank window. I can use smbclient to list the shares available on the server in the terminal, but not in nemo none of the network devices are listed.

Accidentally removed the toolbars under view in nemo (fat fingers) and now can't figure out how to recover them. Normally I would try the alt key to access the menu, but there is none on the onscreen keyboard, nor function keys, or esc. so I am at a loss. is there a config file that I can edit? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

has anyone managed to get a address book and a calendar sync with nextcloud?
I figure khard and khal and vdirsyncer might do the job.
but will khard work as sxmo's phone book?
I am (almost) completely new to sxmo and alpine linux, so any help is much appreciated.
