Got a question about how to nail down a problem.  Have nice Sony noise canceling headphones and a cheap set of regular Sony headphones.  Neither work in the Pinephone.  A set of pack-in earbuds + mic from an old phone do.  Manually flipping switches with alsamixer makes either set of the Sony headphones work.

So after much exploration it seems Pinephone only detects a headset.  The SoC has inputs for HP-DET and MIC-DET but the Pinephone schematics only show a connection to a headphone detection circuit in the physical jack.  If the diagram of the jack is right it should be detecting either type of connection.  evtest shows microphone detection when the headset is inserted but nothing on headphone insertion.

Wondering if the current kernel even looks at the HP-DET signal?  Does it instead use the button input for the MIC pin to also detect presence of a Mic? If it does, a headphone grounds the Mic signal so it should also be able to detect that case.

Hello there,

I have some Debian packaging questions for the people here, who are more experienced with this topic than I am:

Could you have a look at the packaging files in my repo for building a Debian-conform package of Axolotl? That would be very very nice.

https://github.com/nuehm-arno/axolotl-debian-packaging

The deb file can be built using the provided Makefile (with debmake and debuild) and the installation on Mobian with apt is successful.

But regarding the formalities, this is quite unknown ground for me. So feel free to give me feedback.

Cheers!

Since bluetooth audio seems to still not be working at least in Mobian I'd like to get a wired headset with microphone for now. (I just get static when pairing my bluetooth headset.) I see wired headsets come with 3.5 mm jacks that have either 3 or 4 conductors. Which works best with the Pinephone, or is either OK?

I would love to see a mini usb scope that I could use on my pinephone !

Preferably a small probe (pen like), something like picoscope 2105 (discontinued) or bitscope 05

Problem with the latter two is that software is not opensource, they offer binaries for arm based distributions, but only in 32bits and so they won't work on pinephone

About the capabilities ? 
 - It should be able to analyze CAN/I2C/SPI so 2MHz bw at least (might be on the edge for 500k CAN) ... 
 - 1 analog and 2/4 logic ways per probe and the ability to plug a second probe to the first one to sync channels
 - usb-c 

There was a video of someone using a softscope on the pinephone, I've not found it again. Do someone have a link ?

Hit some stupid option while trying to set up Authenticater, and now when I try ti use any application that needs a shell, it pops up a window that shows a file folder and "part 1" next to it, with "OK' below it.

It's stuck in a pop-up cycle, and the only way to make it go away is to power off the phone.

a duckduckgo search didn't return a solution

Thanks,
Denis

Is there a way to stop the apps that are installed in anbox from showing up in the app launcher screen? I've deleted the .desktop files from /home/mobian/.local/share/applications/anbox directory, but they are eventually recreated.

It's confusing to have 2 Settings apps.

Thanks.

Have any Pinephone users been able to get 2FA setup on it ? If so what distro; desktop environment and app did you use ? I have had zero success on Mobian; Ubuntu Touch; Manjaro Arm and PostmarketOS.

After a bit of searching I still have some unanswered
questions about a seemingly overactive running process:

What is jitterentropy-rngd? 
Why does it keep a cpu core maxed out?
How would I keep it from doing that?

Any insight is helpful.

Thanks!

Cannot enter passcode to get into phone.  Probably less than 3 total hours using phone.  It had trouble loading and said try again.  Digitizer quit on next boot.  Thoughts?

Hello,

is there any plan to get the Pinephone replacement mainboards (especially the one with 3GB RAM and 32GB eMMC) back on stock in the near future?

I would really like to pimp up my UBports Pinephone with the new mainboard containing more RAM and eMMC.

I don't really want to buy a complete new phone for this.

Thanks in advance.
