Pinebook users are the lowest of the low.
I'm already tired of seeing how month after month the Community Update doesn't say anything new about Pinebook. No support improvements, no drivers or anything at all.

When will pine64 decide to invest some time in a product with which it has already made money?

I cannot get my pinephone to charge well unless it's off. It was originally a UBports CE, but I updated to the increased RAM board using the discount provided.

Using an appropriately spec'ed charger, it drops to like 0.5 Amps when turned on. No difference between this board and the old. Kind of disappointing because this was advertised as the fix and I shelled out another $70 for it

When I tried to access the site from my phone earlier today, I would get a "connection interrupted" error, every time I tried to reload the page. any other site worked fine. I can access the site fine from my home wifi. [When I posted about this, other people seemed to have the same problem](https://www.reddit.com/r/PINE64official/...pine64org/).

Hello,

about 2 months ago (I think) an update broke my postmarket installation resulting in an endless boot loop (booting - entering encryption password - crashing and rebooting). Now I finally found the time to try and fix it, so I tried flashing the latest version to a SDcard (tried pmbootstrap before that as well) and boot from there. But my phone keeps booting from the internal storage.

Any hints as to why it's not working? Is there anything I'm missing?
(I am pretty sure I am using the correct slot, since I use the phone with a SIM card.)

Help would be much appreciated!

Hey all.
I'm new here. This is my first thread.
Bought RockPro64 4GB. And the 7" touch display.
Is it correct that the touch connection has to be connected to TP and the display to DSI? The two outputs placed right next to each other?

Another question. When I plug in the power, I get green light on the SBC. But it wont boot. Do I have to install OS on the Micro SD to make it boot? Isn't it possible to boot without?

Looking forward to get an answer.

Best regards,
Spxrgie

Hi

I have been using Sailfish on a Sony X and wondered if there are other Sailfish users here that are now using a PinePhone with another OS like Mobian.

I'm considered getting a PinePhone to replace my Sony X that has Sailfish on it and interested how PinePhone with say Mobian compares to Sailfish on Jolla1 or Sony X device, what is better or worse.  For example, how is general performance? Is browsing better on Phosh based OS than Sailfish-browser? Is PinePhone a better daily driver than Sailfish?

It seems like I smashed the connector of the Volume/Power buttons when replacing the mainboard. Now I'm on digital detox, because I can only wake the phone when being close to a power source to wake the phone by connecting a charger.

The spare part is only 1$, but I don't feel like paying full 11$ for shipping. Is here anyone around Germany who plans to order some parts from pine store in the next weeks and we could order together?

I sold my PinePhone because of high shipping costs to Switzerland through DHL, 30 USD, long shipping time of about one month, high import taxes of about 30 USD. I m interested on the long term in Linux phones, and need several of these devices. I decided for another phone, and sold my PinePhone on ebay.

Someone from northern Italy needed quickly a PinePhone, he said it was for a youtube review. I sent it the fastest way through Swiss post, which is estimated a week. After two weeks It did not arrive. The post office they said they had problems which Corona in Italy, I should wait for one or two weeks more.

Now, three weeks are gone, and the tracking number says it is in Milano now. Shipping was by train. Zurich Milano is about four hours by train.

I decided against the PinePhone because of the high shipping costs, the long shipping time, and the high import taxes. There are other products available on the market which do not have these problems.

Hola fellow pines.

New pinephone user here. Picked up the KDE Plasma, which arived on Monday. The pre-loaded manjora distro is super buggy. I ended up tossing UT on a microSD, and it's a huge improvement.

Looking forward to playing with and testing these distros, and supporting the devs anyway I can.

My goal with the pinephne is to have a DD'able, secure device free from Google and Apple's data harvesting. I only want to be able to make calls, send SMS, browse the web, etc. A usable 2FA app would be a plus.

I will say, I was stoked to see WiFi Scanner in the OpenStore. I can see that being a very useful tool at work. I believe there used to be a similar app for iOS, but it's not available anymore.

Anyhow, figured I'd say hello and I look forward to conversing with you all.

Cheers

Here's how we call the PineCone BL602 RISC-V Hardware Abstraction Layer to access the BME280 I2C Sensor...
