The display of the pinephone is fine in Portrait mode, but when I rotate the phone to Landscape in either direction, the display rotates the opposite direction resulting in the display being upside down. This has been an issue for me since I first flashed Manjaro+Plasma Mobile on this phone when it was announced that would be the default configuration for future phones. I was hoping checking for updates would fix this, but no dice. Is anyone else having this issue?

I also have Mobian+Phosh flashed onto a SD card, but that does not even have auto-rotation, so I cannot replicate the issue there.

If I keep /boot on the eMMC and put everything else on an NVMe SSD drive how much battery life am I going to loose?

Thanks for reading. now, sometimes when the phone is unused for some time. It seems to be shutting down. Only way to bring it back is to press the power- button and start it again.

Is this normal?

Is this behaviour due to the settings under "Suspend & Power Button" where "On Battery Power" in on, and set a delay is set to "5 minutes"?

    For a long time I have wanted to build a small but highly available piece of storage.

The RockPro64 has finally allowed me to achieve this and, as a bonus, quite neatly using some Sun F80s I managed to get off ebay.

I'll write a full tutorial later, for now I just wanted to share the achievement.

Hello everybody,

I have a question: When I want to run videos in Cawbird, I get the error of missing plugins. Can anybody tell me precisely, which plugins I need to install?

Best,
Thomas

About a month ago, I got my PinePhone CE with Mobian. Since soon after the box was opened, I have used it as my "daily driver" - but I am not a normal user. If the phone doesn't work, I experience no withdrawl, but instead a pleasant sense of normalcy. Perhaps I sorta live in the 1980s... It's not perfect, but it works about 95% of the time, by my rather limited definition of "works" (calls, basic texts, commandline, internet).

Below I'll mention the remaining issues, my todo items left, stuff I resolved, and some of my customizations.

Issues

1. Too hot while on a call.
   
2. Headset audio out (speaker) works, but audio in (mic) does not work.
   
3. Speakerphone mute does not work (pretty sure that this is a known issue, but can't find any posts).
   
4. Speakerphone creates heavy echo for caller.
   
5. Keyboard: "CTRL lock" by default, prefer only CTRL for next key.
   
6. Keyboard: no CAPs lock.
   

1. Get MMS to work (currently no picture / group messages).
   
2. Numeric password bothers me.
   
3. Firewall needs attention (I assume, haven't looked yet).
   
4. Finish going through all the FAQs and forums.
   

1. After setup, I got a blank screen with a bar across it, lacking any kind of prompt. This is normal, it's the disk encryption key prompt. Shouldn't it maybe have a prompt, though?
   
2. T-Mobile US works? Yes, it does. A major concern when I ordered the phone.
   
3. Modem answers after a long downtime? Yes, it does. This was just paranoia on my part. Observed the phone waking upon incoming call, as it should.
   
4. "Software" app doesn't update well. I don't try daily, but whenever I do it gives me one error or another. Rather than putting effort into it, I just use apt directly from shell. See related customizations below.
   
5. During first upgrade (via apt), my PIN stopped working. It's known issue with a full description and workaround.
   
6. After the first upgrade, some packages were "kept back". This happens infrequently with any Debian-based distribution, and various options exist to fix the issue. I prefer the safe way, with apt --with-new-pkgs upgrade.
   
7. After fixing the last issue, some important packages were not installed. Two or three packages were missing, and mentioned in error messages. One was pinephone-support, I don't recall the other(s). I identified the packages, installed them, and marked them as automatically installed, e.g.: apt install pinephone-support and then apt-mark auto pinephone-support.
   
8. Commandline tools (e.g. wget, perl, curl) had no root CA certificates. Determined /etc/ca-certificates.conf was blank. Fixed via dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates.
   
9. My contacts had not magically appeared on the phone. Very non-frustrating. I had them in a VCF, so I followed this guide to import contacts from VCF.
   
10. My desktop (debian) got disconnected from its network each time I plugged in the pine phone. USB networking was overriding other network interfaces. I feel there's a more elegant solution than what I did, which would allow me to make network connections over USB. Since that hasn't been a priority, I just set USB network not to automatically reconnect by running this on the desktop: nmcli con mod "Wired connection 1" connection.autoconnect no.
    
11. The UI presents no clean way to turn on and off wifi. The buttons exist, sure. However when you toggle just wifi, it also affects airplane mode, and will toggle bluetooth on even when it was previously off. Others have posted about this, and I think I recall it mentioned that it's an issue with phosh somehow, but I didn't find a "central" post. Instead, I just toggle via commandline. See related customizations below.
    

I am new on this forum and new to the pine phone and I hope I can learn a lot from this so I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong area but it might be the only forum that can help. 

I purchased the pine phone and finally got it about a month ago and I folled the instructions and decided that my flavor of Linux would be ubuntu touch, although if debian would behave I would have wanted that. So I flashed the eMMC with Ubuntu Touch and purchased Mint mobile for ~3 month to test it out. I inserted the sim and it did not work right away so I played with the settings and finally got the APN settings to work for the most part but the problem that I have now is that it will not make outbound calls. Reciving calls is fine and I can hear the other person on the line, but making calls is a no go it says that it is unavaliable and then just quits the call. 

I am hoping that posting here will give me some hints but maybe what I am really asking for is where I can find error logs for such things and how to solve it myself maybe? I know that the APN settings try not to save as internet and MMS but not entirely not sure as to why. 

Thanks to anyone that helps out I appreciate you

what could possibly be wrong here? It's a fres install of Postmarket§od-21.03-SXMO-1.41

after updatin by SXMO's update menu, I'll get a text message on top of screen..

Hello,

I have a problem with the RTC Backup Batterie Holder and the PIN H64B.

I connected the RTC like the installation guide and used only one C2032 battery. 

The battery goes dead after about 7 days.

Are there any known issues?

Possibly I'm doing something very wrong here but I have disabled the notifications in "Settings" for "Software", and when I launch "Software" I also disabled the automatic updates and the notifications. The result of my changes is that not only does "Software" check for updates, but also I still get notifications. Is there a fundamental misunderstanding on my side or do I have to file a bug somewhere?
