Anybody else experiencing this issue? Dock works fine for everything but it's draining my battery at a rate of about 2w. I though it might have been the usb port on my monitor i'm using it with, so I switched to a wall charger and when connected to the phone directly it charges, but as soon as I try to use it with the dock it's back to discharge mode. I'm running all the current updates on mobian at the moment.

Ive been testing all the os' I can get my hands on, none of them have working calls or text, except I managed to get one working as a once off somehow.

Ive noticed that on ub ports it says 'Denied'... Can I assume that my provider has blocked my pinephones from the network?

Edit: using the pmos test image, it says the network is connecting and working fine.... This is doing my head in why no other os image works?!

Hey Ya'll,

Not entirely sure if others are wanting this, but thought I'd share my fix on this workaround if you been trying to get this firewall to start on system startup on mobian (fix will be similar to almost any Distro actually).

This is for anyone that wanted to use the UFW - uncomplicated firewall service vs iptables. 

Useful background knowledge:

Assuming you have already installed ufw:

edit the /lib/systemd/system/ufw.service

When the latest monthly blog update announced Manjaro with Plasma Mobile as the new default, I threw that on a micro SD card and have been testing it since. Sometime in the last week, an update broke auto-rotation for me.

Everything is fine in portrait mode, but when I rotate my phone 90 degrees the screen will rotate 90 degrees in the *opposite* direction, resulting in the screen being upside down when in landscape mode.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue, or maybe even know how to fix this? This is definitely going to need fixing by the time that keyboard accessory comes out, since the phone would always be in landscape using that.



PS: Aside from this issue (and intermittent crashing when trying to use a USB-C dock), I'm really pleasantly surprised with KDE. I thought I would hate it, but it feels like it has a lot of potential and is already pretty polished.

I got Red Pocket carrier working on my pinephone using mobian as the OS. I could make calls receive calls and send text and receive text. The plan i use for Red Pocket is $2.50 per month. Posted this because if someone is looking for a low cost carrier this might help them.

I was using the PMOS factory test image and while running the Automatic Test it hangs at "Upgrading EG25" and never completes.

The modem is now undetected by any OS I've tried. Any tips on getting it back?

Thanks!

edit: after looking at restoring the eg25 fw to its factory state via https://github.com/Biktorgj/quectel_eg25_recovery/ it's such a convoluted mess. Is there any other way or does clicking TEST on the Test img. just brick modems? aargh.

Hi folks,

Just unboxed my new Mobian Community Edition Pine Phone --- so excited!!!

Everything seems to be working pretty well. The web browsing is pretty darn slow, but I just installed Browsh, so maybe that will be a little faster.

The problem I am having is, I am getting an indication that there is an update available, but when I click "download," it tells me that it failed due to a lack of dependancies being present. However, the list of needed dependancies is blank!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I got a 3gb Mobian yesterday. While I was trying to get my Google Fi nanoSIM in the white plastic adapter and into the phone, I broke the right-most prong of the SIM card socket. Bummer. I had it for about 15 minutes at that point. Anyway, I went about soldering it back on. It didn't work. I couldn't tell if it was the hardware or software. In flashed Manjaro+Plasma, and the SIM card was not recognized. I flashed postmarketOS latest test distro, and the SIM is good! I can phone and text. So, my solder job is good, the Google Fi is recognized without effort (I use it in an iPhone and Android phone, freely moving the SIM around and it works in everything I've tried).

Since I want to increase RAM and available memory to something more suitable to my work - will it work and will the clusterboard register it as RAM?
