Hi Everyone,

I have just gone through most of your documentation and I am interested in working with micropython on my PineTime dev kit. However, I seem to be having some difficulty updating the firmware. I currently am using IOS nRF Connect and attempted to update the firmware on my Pinetime. I make a successful connection and upload the micropython.zip  the screen shows a firmware update and it says image loaded ok. At this time it resets and reboots. The PineTime logo shows and it looks like it did when I first opened the package. I have just received this PineTime in Jan 2021 It says the version is PineTime 0.7.1 I'm starting to wonder if I have one that still has the flash protection turned on. Looking forward to learning how to develop for this.

So I've had a little more time today to play around with my BH running Mobian w/ Phosh.

One super irritating thing I'm finding is the frequency of hitting  the Phosh 'minimise' up arrow beneath the space bar of the OSK. I can handle other typos better as I'm watching what I type so can just backspace, minimising things by accident kills the flow.

So:

1. Do others suffer from this UX too?
2. Are there any tweaks currently possible to cirxumvent this short of using another WM?

Thanks,
Matt

Hello all, 
Pine 64 replied when I inquired about ordering that production is scheduled for March. Does that mean I should be pre-ordering right now? The store site doesn't allow me to place an order. Or will pre-ordering be possible in March? I'm confused about how this works. 

My aim for the PineTab is for watching news, podcasts, email, church, listening to online radio etc. 

Thank you.

Does anyone know if there is a solution for autodetecting if the Pine unit is a Pine A64+ or PineA64-LTS.

I would like to create a single (Armbian) image that can run on both units. I guess uboot should
contain a autodetect for knowing which kind of DTB to use on the board. I know the units have
some major differences like memory, network and emmc, but still hope this can be detected
and handled in a single image.

Hi, trying to create an account on Pine64's Zoho instance, as requested by the autoreply to the email I sent to support@pine64.org, however it is *broken* and unable to complete the sign up process as it falsely claims 'cookies are not enabled' when trying to set an initial password.

"Cookie is disabled in your browser. Please enable the cookie to continue."

I've tried with Chrome, Firefox, Safari on Desktop Linux and Windows as well as Ipad - it's just broken and there is now no way to file a support ticket as far as I know.

ps: My original support request is a query about when the Mobian edition Pinephone will be shipping as there is currently no information about this anywhere that I've seen.

Thanks,
Wes

Hello,

I have Pinebook Pro with Kali 2020.1 for ARM. I logs in with kali/kali for a while and I decided that I should change my password to a more secure one. So, I used command "passwd"

kali@kali:~$ passwd
current password:
Enter new password:
Retype new password:
passwd: Your password has been successfully changed.

And I changed it => "Your password has been successfully changed." and when I log in to terminal for recheck it works fine. But when I restarted it, I couldn't log in. Password is too easy. I couldn't forget him. I've tried to find tips on Google but most tips counts the grub and Pinebook Pro doesn't have it.

Thank you in advance for any answers.

PS: I tried to write to official Kali forum but for some reason they didn't post it to me. 
PS 2: Sorry for my english.

Hey folks...
 
We are trying to use a DHT22 sensor on rockpro64 using armbian (buster)...
 
Is there something we need to know about GPIO pin ?
 
We are trying to compile and use this code as a starter...
 
https://github.com/ayufan-pine64/dht22-pine64.git
 
But we got a segfault when using it...
 
thanks

manjaro arm with kde plasma, just received. 

Put in Consumer Cellular sim card.  Phone seems to work ok in limited test.

Another story with text messages.  In Phonebook if I try text message the chats program starts up and says that I need to activate a new account in preferences.  There is a preferences in the chats menu icon that says preferences but it does nothing.

If I go to Accounts in Settings, there is no option for consumer cellular and no active option to add one.  Looks like accounts available are :
ownCloud
Nextcloud
google

Is there another sms text app?  Or is my CC sim card only going to make phone calls.

thanks for any insights you may have.

Welcome back. My workload eased a little and I went back to my PineTab. What I noticed and what has not changed is the problem with the keyboard attached:
1- too small moles on the screen, the cursor controlled from the trackpad does not cover the entire screen,
2 - problem when entering special characters, they duplicate themselves
3 - I can't log into my google account.
Is there a way to get rid of these problems, if so what. Has the project been abandoned?
I am asking for help in solving the above problems, the device as such is ok, but soft is ded.
As of today, Mobian seems more ubiquitous, but has issues with apps.
What to do? how to live?



Maybe there is an error-free commercial version? Please help a newbie in the Linux world

Hello, i'm using the PP as a daily driver and sometimes when watching a video with mpv or firefox the display freeze and the image flickers. I think is a lima driver issue, bc a bunch of this present in the juornalctl:
