Why use x000 mAh instead of x Ah in battery specs? Why no use Coulombs, (SI)? |

Why use x000 mAh instead of x Ah in battery specs? Why no use Coulombs, (SI)?
I understand it is what market does, but aren't we a "nerd" community.
Al least instead of writing 3000 mAh write 3 Ah for the Pine phone battery
And even better 3 Ah / 10800 C.
Even from a marketing point of view 10800 C is perceived as more than 3000 mAh or 3 Ah even it is the same.
And I would use kC as 10.8 kC for this case.

Kdenlive or other video editing software?? |

I'm tempted to get a PineBook Pro once the new batch goes up for sale and I'm curious, can the PineBook Pro do some light video editing? I'll be coming over from a ThinkPad X220 and on that machine I'd sometimes do some light editing, stuff like putting a few video clips together and maybe adding some light effects all while using proxy clips in Kdenlive. Is the Pinebook Pro capable of doing that? If not it's not a deal breaker I'm just curious essay writer

Difficulty making calls |

Has anyone else noticed difficulty in making calls? It seems that making calls has become less reliable. (Not sure when this started happening because I'm still using the Pinephone for test purposes and don't call out with it frequently.)
What happens is that when using the dial pad, the phone just gives a brief click but the call screen with the red hangup button never comes up. Sometimes you can see it become visible for a fraction of a second before disappearing to be replaced with the keypad. Immediately repeating the call, sometimes there is brief audio from other end indicating a connection was made but the audio cuts out immediately.
Initiating calls from the contact list seems to work a little better, but it's still necessary to press the call button several times before the call screen and audio come up.
Mobian is up to the current patch level as of this writing.

Next Pinephone should be smaller (imho) |

My Pinephone fell on the floor and have a minor crack in the screen. Luckily both the digitizer and the display still work fine.
I never had that before with smaller phones (and each of my previous smartphones fell on hard floor at least few times).
Thing is, I always bought the smallest decent phone I could find, and that every generation is a bit bigger. I made an exception for the Pinephone because of the concept.
A smaller phone:
- fits in more pockets
- get less bending pressure in pockets
- is less lickely to crack because of less weight
- requires a smaller -> cheaper screen
- requires less power to light the screen, thus a smaller battery or can last longer
- takes less space on desks etc
Now I'm wondering, do people here actually like to have a so big device? Or is it in imitation of market trends?

Mobian Constant Vibration |

I know this has been addressed on other threads with different versions of Pine Pine but was wondering about a solution. I have read other threads where it stated about pinching wires but this phone is totally enclosed with no exposed wiring. I had placed a Straight Talk SIM in the phone but didn't seem compatible so I removed it. Not long after that, I started noticing the constant vibration. As it powers on, it will start vibrating even after updating the software, removing and reinstalling the battery, etc. On a side note, I did get the Red Pocket service to work very well using a GSMA SIM from the SIM kit on eBay.
Is the phone trying to give me a notification or is it a malfunction? Any suggestions on a remedy?

Buildworld benchmarks |

Following up from another thread, here are some "benchmark" results for building world on FreeBSD.
Note that I disabled powerd and manually set the CPU frequencies to 1800mhz and 1416mhz. OS is installed on a 32GB emmc.
I used -j4 in every case. Note that when I compiled RC2 I disabled all debug options in the kernel.
I built a couple of things:
- Update from RC2 to RC3 with the option -DNO_CLEAN as an example of a typical upgrade time between minor versions.
- Clean build of RC3 to give a benchmark for building the whole system
I measured temperature every 10 seconds. I did also save vmstat output every 10 seconds but it wasn't that interesting.
Results:
RC2 -> RC3 buildworld noclean: 1018 seconds (15m, 58s)
RC2 -> RC3 kernel noclean: 421 seconds (7m, 1s)
RC3 buildworld from clean: 22332 seconds (6h, 12m, 12s)
RC3 kernel from clean: 1794 seconds (29m, 54s)
So as you can see, a normal minor upgrade from src is pretty quick (depending how many changes there are between versions), but a complete build is a bit of a task, but still not bad TBH.
Temperatures:
This is the temperature graph for the buildworld from clean:
![[Image: build_temps.png]](https://imghost.org/images/2021/03/25/build_temps.png)
The GPU isn't doing anything it just gets hot from conduction.
Max temp seen was 72.6C
Isn't the max operating temp of the die 70C? Does the CPU throttle itself at high temp? If so better cooling should improve performance.

PineTab Pro? |

The PineBook Pro seems to have a bit of power compared to the PineTab. I'm wondering how hard it is to "upgrade" the PineTab to something more like the PineBook Pro, but in tablet format. Or maybe just modify the PineBook Pro to be a tablet.
Or maybe Pine64 would be interested in selling a more powerful device? With all the Chromebooks out there, it seems like touchscreen or slate-based Chromebooks are quite common, so it seems like a more powerful device with a touchscreen that can be used in vertical format would be an interesting next step. Any thoughts?
