  July 1 upgrade of Mobian Bookworm boot loops.
Posted by: mburns - 07-02-2024, 10:41 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Software - Replies (9)

It must be the kernel update then. I can continue to boot from the Trixie installation on the main chip. And then use my rescuemobian script to continue trying the upgrades on the Bookworm installation. Edit this to your installation, and then continue to try upgrades from this temporary environment.

Code:
#! /bin/bash
cd /home/d1/root
mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /home/d1/boot
mount --bind /proc /home/d1/proc
mount --bind /sys /home/d1/sys
mount --bind /dev /home/d1/dev
mount --bind /run /home/d1/run
chroot /home/d1


  PInetab2, Limit battery charge to less than 100%?
Posted by: rqkeating - 06-30-2024, 08:54 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - No Replies

Is there a way to limit the battery charge on the Pinetab2 to something less than 100% for long term battery health?  I am running Kernel 6.9.5-danctnix1-1-pinetab2

Very glad to receive Pinebook Pro last Thursday June 27th.
Quite cautious with it- no new OS installs as am new to Pine products and fairly new to Linux.Sunday, June 30, Pinebook pro boots to Manjaro images. After a few hard reboots, Manjaro image, again. Press escape.
Received the message below. Hard re boot again to black screen and no Manjaro image. Unsure how to proceed. Please advise? Apologies if this was discussed previously

  Pinephone pro shuts down immediately after login
Posted by: covar - 06-30-2024, 09:12 AM - Forum: PinePhone Pro Hardware - Replies (4)

Hi. I have a pinephone pro. When I turn on the phone as soon as i login to OS the phone shuts down making a small noise from the speakers and sometimes it goes to black screen (no shutdown). This happens when it operates with the battery. If I plugin the charger boots normally. I tried this with OS phosh (mobian and Kali Linux) installed in emmc and also on SD card. I have tried with original battery and Samsung EB-BJ700CBE battery. Any help????

  Why does Pine64 sabotage office on the Pinephone?
Posted by: Peter Gamma - 06-30-2024, 01:03 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (5)

- Does this table not show how great office applications would be on the Pinephone?

https://petergamma.org/selected-office-a...-zero-2-w/

- There is also a lot work behind this table of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org.

- But is pulling the Pinephone keyboard from the market not an act of sabotage against office applications on the Pinephone?


  Pinephone with KDE plasma - Battery drain when phone is not used
Posted by: Daniello - 06-29-2024, 12:27 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I have pinephone (KDE plasma mobile)

it drains battery very quickly (6 to 8 hours)
even if I don't use phone and it is in standby mode
display is turning off after 1 minute as set in power settings

but I think that some system process is not turning of when phone is not used
and it drains power from battery.
How can i check which program is still runing
discharging battery ? is there any program for checking system activity ?


  PinePhone Boots but only Shows Black Screen with Backlight
Posted by: danyeaw - 06-29-2024, 09:48 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Problem: my PinePhone started only showing a black screen with backlight on, however it is booting fine

Events: I was listening to music when the display went black, and the phone continued to play the music. There was no update to software or damage to the phone.

Research: I have read posts on this forum, reddit, the Pine64 PinePhone FAQ, and I read the postmarketOS PinePhone wiki.

Software: postmarketOS v24.06 with gnome-mobile

Troubleshooting:

  • I restarted the PinePhone and removed the battery
  • I made sure the battery was fully charged
  • I reinstalled postmarketOS using JumpDrive
  • I edited the installation image to turn on SSH, the PinePhone is booting properly
  • I checked that /sys/class/backlight/backlight/brightness wasn't somehow set to zero (it is 1567)

What I haven't tried yet, opening up the phone to check the display cable. Is this the next step? Is it possible that I have a bad display?


  Keyboard & 2.4G usb dongle for the Pinephone?
Posted by: Peter Gamma - 06-29-2024, 07:10 AM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (2)

The following video shows that an usb keyboard and mouse work in the shown configuration:

https://youtu.be/5cIqwIye2Q0

But small usb keyboards for mobile use are hard to find. I only found one from Poland from which I do not know if it is still avaiable.

A device which is also known to have issues with Bluetooth peripherials is the Orange Pi 5.

https://youtu.be/cBqV4QWj0lE

Crosstalk solution shows a kit especially for the Orange Pi 5. on YouTube:

https://kit.co/crosstalk/orange-pi-5

It shows a wireless dual mode Bluetooth Rii (Upgrade) i4 Mini Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad, Blacklit Portable Wireless Keyboard with 2.4G USB Dongle for Smartphones, PC, Table:

https://www.amazon.com/Rii-Bluetooth-Key...B07T13GLY3

Should a keyboard with a 2.4G USB dongle which is included with the mini keyboard not work as a USB keyboard?
