Have  successfully used megapixels in the past.  Tried taking a photo today and experienced the following failure symptoms:
1.  megapixels launches normally, with normal viewfinder performance
2.  after clicking the shutter button, the spinner indicator never stops spinning (even after several minutes)
2a.  Other megapixel buttons (settings, folders, etc.) respond normally
2b.  /tmp/megapixels.set_of_random_chars folder created; however, is empty
3.  i close megapixels normally
4.  re-opening megapixels repeats step 1
5.  after clicking the shutter button, megapixels quickly closes itself
5a. /tmp/megapixels.another_set_of_random_chars folder created.  Contains single 59 kB file 0.dng.
6.  Steps 5 and 6 repeat until rebooting pmos CE pinephone, running pmos phosh.  After which steps 1 through 3 behavior occurs, and then 4 through 6.
Read a post that a debian libtiff update recently broke megapixels; so, updated my version to the latest on pmos repo, 0.14.0.  Issue repeated.
Has anyone else had this problem, and know a fix?
Thanks.

My Pinecil was chewed on by my dog and he managed to break the case and one of the small copper tabs on the inside that holds the tip in place and makes electrical contact with the board. I went to the Pine store and bought a new case and some other goodies (soldering tips, a case for my PinePhone, a dev kit for the pine watch) but I cannot find any where to purchase these copper contacts. 

If anyone from Pine is on these forums can you please point me in the direction of where other parts may be found? I would gladly purchase the needed pieces from the store but nothing is listed online other than the case and accessory tips.

I'm having troubles installing Telegram on archlinux-pinephone-phosh-20210124.
In Chats\Preferences when I tap Telegram the phone reboots almost always. If I can add my telegram user ID, I've no clue about the Telegram password required.

If I try to install telegram Desktop, the phone remain stuck in Pending Installation.
Any idea on how to solve these issues?

I'm new to Linux despite I'm an old (and retired) system engineer with experience about hp-ux.
Thanks

I checked the wiki and it said for Ubuntu touch, hold the power button until the phone shuts down and then hold it again until the LED lights up. I did this but it just have me the red LED again.

I'm not sure what to do. My OS is on the EMMC and I don't have it backed up. I can't SSH into the phone either.

Hi

Is h264 hardware encoding available on the pinephone? I looked at the status of Cedrus driver and it seems to me that only hardware decoding is working not encoding.


Am I wrong?

Thanks

Hello,

I just got my rockpro64 and I intend to use it as my main desktop computer. Things have worked ok except when I try to have a video call.I have tried to used meet jitsi and the nextcoud videconference.

When I start the call the camera seems to work fine and I am able to see myself. But then after some time it freezes the operating system. The time it takes for the computer to freezes varies between a few seconds and a little more than a minute.

It happens with both firefox and chromium and with the hardware acceleration activated or deactivated.

I have reproduced the problem in the following OSes: armbian buster desktop, armbian focal desktop, mrfixit image and ayufans bionic stable image.

The webcam I am using is a very old one and it is supported by the linux kernel out of the box, it is a microsoft LifeCam VX-3000. It works fine on a x86_64 laptop I have running devuan.

Does anyone know what could cause the problem or what are the logs I should be looking to?

Thanks!

average user who wants this phone for daily driver so heeeeelp.
sd card not seen by lollipop. card was loaded with mp3's from ubuntu as fat64 to sd card. gparted shows card loaded with 5gigs. pinephone running mobian, latest edition.

Hello fellow PinePhone enthusiasts,

I received my PinePhone yesterday Feb 13 2012.
I wanted to experiment with one of the different OS available.
When I tried to remove my sim card it got stuck and 3 connector pins were damaged in the process.
I am writing this post to warn those of you who are about to set up you PinePhone for the first time.
Please be careful when placing/removing the SIM card with the sim adapter that is included in the box.
In my experience the provided sim adapter was rough around the edges and the SIM slot is extremely fragile.
I have opened a support ticket so hopefully it will be covered by the product warranty.
If not for this issue I have to say that I am quite satisfied with the delivered product.

Hi,
Does anyone know when pinepower 120W will be available again?
