I ordered a PinePhone replacement LCD screen which is only $30 USD
The person/persons who shipped up put the total declared value of $65. Te $65 USD included the cost of $35 for shipping via DHL
The problem with this is where I had it shipped, they charge a tax plus collection fees of anything over $50.
They wanted fees of nearly totally the the shipping and price for the LCD.

You people need to get your crap together. I rejected the packed. I submitted a ticket for them to send another with the CORRECT declared value.

Hopefully this won't turn into a PayPal dispute like I have seen in many other threads.

Hi,

Since the schematic kindly tells me that the hall sensor is not populated I was wondering if it was sufficient to just solder one on the board (since the firmware apparently anyway checks via i2c if its presenet) or are the caps also omitted?

Hi there,

I have been trying armbian on pinebook pro. I realize volume up and down multimedia keys do not work on the xfce desktop. The other keys brightness etc. seem to be working.

I checked out the keyboard options in xfce and there seems to be a specific shortcut using alsactl, which made me even more confused as I was thinking the system is using pulse audio.

Is there anyone who use armbian? How can I make the volume up and down keys to work?

Best,

Looking at the demo videos/docs/guide it seems like this is mainly intended to be used for mobile.

If I wanted to use it while docked/as if it was i3-wm how far will I get? Will I need to do stuff like use xrandr to show/position the external monitor?

I did figure out how to properly flash the images onto the SD card so it actually boots/isn't skipped.

But I figured I'd ask before I got into it.

Thanks for any thoughts.

edit: Oh and I was curious about the idle RAM usage. Mobian is surprisingly not as bad as I thought eg. I saw a number just over 500MB. Is Sxmo significantly lower than that? I got a 170MB figure nice.

Hello,

I'm trying to add my protonmail account in the geary but so far without success.
Running the latest version of Debian:

Was one already able to do the following:
- run a protonbridge client
- add a protonmail account in geary (or any other mail app) using the config from the protonbridge

Or
- running a mail client with a protonmail account and bypassing the protonbridge

Looking forward to get this running!

Thank you

I just installed sxmo on my new pinephone and it appears that there is no ~/.config directory. Thus, there is no hooks, so I can't receive incoming calls. I can't seem to find said hooks directory on the git page. I was able to see that I am successfully getting the call by running modemmonitor.sh (or whatever it's called) via ssh, but again, the phone doesn't do anything when the call is incoming. 

Anyone know where I can get these files?

Hello,

I tried to do some comparison between various Pine-devices available, (a comparison chart between all the Pine-doohickeys would be cool) and search the forums but I ended up with an impression that the PinePhone is the only device with hardware switches?

Does Pine64 has any plans to implement those to other devices? Say laptop or tab / anything with camera/microphone/etc would warrant having at least some of those handy switches alone.

Settings > Cellular Networks > SIM Cards

• data populated
  
• phone is able to make and receive calls
  
• phone is able to send and receive texts
  

• blank screen
  
• no input field
  

I was expecting to be able to just do stuff like sudo apt install htop etc... but that did not happen.

At this time I still haven't figured out what is the equivalent thing of apt for KDE Plasma Mobile eg. is it yum/pacman/etc...

I did see there is Ubports... I might try that. I'm coming from web development side I was intending to use VS Code for example and run Node locally but maybe I completely misunderstood what this phone can do right now? I think VS Code can run on ARM.

I also noticed the dock doesn't charge my phone. I'm still trying to get video output from the dock to an external hdmi monitor, was looking at some threads.

I think I will have to get an SD card/try different OS's that way.

I'd appreciate any thoughts. At this time I'm more interested in the dock-computing aspect than an actual phone eg. sms.

Hello all.

I just received my PinePhone and I'm mostly impressed with it so far. I have run into a very early snag, and I'm not sure how to correct it. After going into the Discover app and having it update to the most recent set of packages, I find myself without nav buttons along the bottom or the status drawer at the top. As a result applications go full screen and I cannot exit or navigate away from them without plugging in a keyboard.

The time, battery, and wifi status are visible on the lock screen, but I gather now that is a separate application.

Has anyone else seen this? If you have, is there a way to correct it or do I need to start looking into how to reload the OS entirely?

Thanks!
