I realized that there is no 32" AIO offer in  the market when my sister asked me to select one for her.
There was some Intel and AMD based ones from Lenovo and HP with good price / performance and I opted for an HP one with an AMD APU inside.

The Dunning-Kruger effect 1999, nobel price 2000 applied to this, is that not company engineers no tinkers think people, would prefer AIO, as other options are cheaper and easier to repair, and yet AIO are a sell success being most of the models overpriced a lot.

I think that a cheap offer of Pine AIO would be a success

With replaceable PCBs to upgrade them if needed in the future - in 28" 16:9, as it seems is the most demanded market size, plus 32" that I think is the most valuable size for a desktop, and even 40" ones to be TV and big desktop  - real AIO - 

And bigger Smart TVs with replaceable PCB and the latest Android TV  AOSP - It is rare that a TVbox with Android would upgrade to the next version - .

And 28" and 32" touch screen ones for bars, restaurants, and many other businesses to act as a register case and split the screen for internet leisure if it is not an everyday full business, or whatever.

GNU/Linux, Chromium OS or Android in ARM are good solutions for most of the SOHO and business tasks, and they are usually much cheaper than X86, adding a PCB and some connections to an already good a cheap 1080p (or 720p if price difference is noticeable or 4k if price difference is not or offering price gamma if the market is big enough) 32" monitor - no need to be IPS, VA, is cheaper and good enough - and 28" and 40 50 and 60 with TV tuners - at least as an option - would be a great product to have in the market. 

Even if is just because they produce less noise than their competence.

Last but not least, integrated 1080p webcam, with a privacy switch, can start a landline phone replacement to a TV based video call replacement if paired with a free or cheap service provided by asterisk installing IP phone software on every device with this 1080p webcams - not only this AIOs - and I think that a one-year free trial, plus perhaps a 12 USD/year price, would make that service a good business with a great value add for customers - not just pine hardware ones -.

Thanks for reading this suggestion.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself. I just received my PinePhone (Manjaro with Plasma Mobile) the other day and have had the past couple days to play around with it. So far I have had a great experience other than the part when I accidentally locked myself out when I changed my password to contain letters . But even that gave me the opportunity to switch distros and test out Mobian with Phosh.

Using jump drive to switch distros was super easy and I'm really just blown away with how cool this phone is. Obviously, there are a few kinks to work out, but I didn't buy this to be my daily driver immediately anyway. The issues I found were with GPS (Mobian with Phosh, I didn't test this with Manjaro) on Gnome Maps not giving an accurate reading of where I was, but when I went to the settings for location it appeared as if no apps were trying to access my location. So, I feel like I will need to look into that a little more later. Also, when I was on Manjaro I couldn't connect to my mobile network, but didn't really get to troubleshoot because of the lock out incident I mentioned above. I've had no trouble making calls or accessing the internet through Mobian/Phosh, though.

I do have a couple things I was curious about. I watched a video of the disassembly of this phone and it seems like it would be really easy to take apart and replace broken pieces. Does anyone know if there are plans to make upgraded parts? I see they have the standard camera (5MP) as a replacement in the store, but do they plan on making a >5MP camera to replace it with if someone wanted to buy it. Seems like it would be cool to be able to upgrade your phone like you could upgrade your desktop.

Also, does anyone know how to get the Microsoft Teams web app working? I know there's an Teams for Linux Arm app, but I heard it's not the best and at least until Microsoft comes out with an official app I was hoping I could get it set up just in a browser. I already tried changing the user-agent of the Epiphany browser, but that didn't work.

Thanks for any help anyone can give!

So I changed the scaling of Telegram through the settings from the default 90% and now I can't go back to 90% from 100%.

Does anyone know how I might get back to the original 90% it came preinstalled as?

Would also like to know if theres a way to do this for other apps as well.

thanks for your time, and thanks to everyone helping make this dream a reality.

Hello!

So I got my phone yesterday and the excitement was well y'all know! Anyhow I followed the simple instructions the phone came with to get it started up. All good no problem. Once I got the basic start up completed I pretty much left the phone on the charger for the night (12+ hours) and it indicated it was charging but it never got past 86% charge.

Next the brightness won't stay where I set it and slides up and down until finally it just won't  stay illuminated (screen is black). But if I plug the phone in, it works. So on battery power... its whacky. I got an AT&T SIM installed (seems to work, I was able to call and receive calls) but for the life of myself and the fellow helping, I could not find a way to enter the APN. So I don't have access to the data plan...

Network connection, been trying to find a network connection protocol... not so much luck with that either.

I did manage to get a 600+MB update installed, I had hoped it would have resolved the screen issue. But now it seems to do it even when plugged in!? So I get this is BETA but I am kind of not sure where to go from here. Tips? Advice?

HI all, i just recieved my beta edition of the pinephone, and was very excited to try out the HDMI docking features as i have previously been using a UB Ports edition which does not support the feature.

However i am unable to get the phone to recognize that a HDMI cable is connected, i have tried under factory Manjaro Plasma, Manajaro Phosh Beta 8 and Mobian nightly with no luck. I was under the impression that HDMI out was mostly supported as of now? is there some setup that I'm missing? does it only work on certain distros? is it just broken atm?

Any help is very appreciated, overall i am head over heels with this device, it's exactly what i've been missing form my life!

So, due to some missing parts between UBports and Wayland you cannot setup online accounts on the PinePhone. Bug and Bug.

Here is a way to make it work until the bugs get addressed.

• We need to build a click package of GhostCloud. I setup a minimal Ubuntu 20.04 virtual machine as I use openSUSE and didn't want to try installing the click build environment on it. Then I setup the click build environment as described here. - I used the PIP method.
  
• Then following fredldotme's instructions, I built a click package of GhostCloud version 0.9.6 which does not use UBports online account mechanism.
  
• I transferred the click package to my PinePhone, and then using the UT Tweak Tool available in the Open Store installed GhostCloud.
  
• I was able to enter the URL, username, and password for my NextCloud instance. I now have access to files on my NextCloud server.
  
• For Calendar and Contacts, I setup syncevolution following the instructions on this github page.
  

Hello,

My pinephone just arrived today, but i hadn't realized the pinestore also sells cases for the Pinephone. My question is, If i decide to order a case, Am i going to have to pay import fees on it again? Obviously Shipping would be charged, but I'd  prefer not to have to drop another $25 on customs to get a case.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Hi,

I received my Pinecil, purchased March 31st, yesterday.

I powered it with an old laptop power supply (21v - I checked it).

I played with the menu for 5 minutes or so, then I tried my first soldering...The temperature barely reached 314C (and oscillated from 310 to 314 during that time)...it lasted 10 seconds or so (just the time to tin the tip and try it on my solder wire...and it died.

Since, not powering up, no USB registration if I plug it into a computer....I think it is dead. 

Any similar experience? Any hint? I opened a ticket early this morning, but no answer so far...
It is really frustrating to wait for 3 weeks...for less than 10 minutes of lifetime...

I need working with the webcamera!

Does anyone know how to enable it? 

Cheese> NO device found

Can anyone at Pine64 give an approximate date for when the PineTab will be back in stock again?
I wouldn't mind a pre-order with a long shipping delay either. Just want to get my hands on one asap :)
From where does Pine64 ship? I live in Germany, do they ship from within the EU or will I have to pay import duty?
