Hello! 
I am a new PinePhone user and I recently purchased a PinePhone pro explorer edition. After installing Tow Boot and trying several distributions, I was unable to get voice calling to work. As a result, I attempted to update the modem firmware, thinking that this may be the issue (after no issues with microphone or other audio systems were apparent anywhere). The modem appears to never have booted up properly again, and now the modem is not recognized by the operating system at all.

The reason for this post is because I cannot find the EDL boot test points on the motherboard that are mentioned in several different places (GitHub - Biktorgj/quectel_eg25_recovery: Stock firmware recovery packages for Quectel EG25-G, pinephone_modem_sdk/docs/RECOVERY.md at kirkstone · the-modem-distro/pinephone_modem_sdk · GitHub, https://forum.pine64.org/attachment.php?aid=2843, ...).  The motherboard in my phone does not have these contacts (text on board: "Pinephonepro-V02 2023-0909"). In fact, there is a metal shield attached to the board directly over that area. Is there any way to access these contacts on Pinephone pro explorer edition boards like version 2023-0909?

Thanks for any help!

I see that the kb is out of stock at the store, and while I'm glad to have mine to use with the Beta, I was wondering if there's a new generation of kb in the pipeline. Something with a backlight, perhaps.

Hello.  I installed the stable version v23.12 20240424 and 20240417 of postmarketos with phosh 22.3.  Firefox does not start on either.  How is this version considered stable if firefox does not even start?  Is the problem with this OS or an hardware issue with my Pinephone v1.2?  Thanks.

Hello.  What emmc speed do people get when connected via tow-boot's usb mass storage mode for Pinephone v1.2?  I get a speed of 6.7 MBytes/second writing 3 Gigabytes and 15 MBytes/second reading 3 Gigabytes.  Is this a normal speed or is my emmc unusually slow?  Thanks.

I recently bought a replacement lcd screen for my Pinephone pro. But after connecting everything there is no image on the screen. The backlight turns on and I get feedback from the touchscreen. The LED indicator also briefly flashes green during boot up. When I put back the original display which is damaged it displays an image. What could cause the new display to not show an image? The flex cable does not appear to be damaged in any way.

Would it be possible for pine to develope an open source cable modem where we can have full access to the whole file system, except the speed file that tells you what you are provisioned for.

I've been attempting to install Waydroid (with these instructions https://wiki.debian.org/Mobian/How-to#Ho...a_Waydroid, which links to: https://docs.waydro.id/usage/install-on-desktops). And for some reason it appears apt is attempting to use urls that just don't work (Failed to fetch...). After some URL exploring it looks like the last part of the url is wrong... And I have ran apt update & apt upgrade

Any ideas why this is happening and/or are there better directions out there?

Heres the command output of 'apt install' & 'cat /etc/os-release' for system version info.

sudo apt install waydroid

Hey hey
I want an app that allows me to do continuous heart rate monitoring with the pine time. I'm interested in tracking my heart rate variability to see when I've slept well or not, etc. And also tracking my heart rate during exercise to see how it responds to sleep etc. I have been using " sleep as Android" with the pine time occasionally But I also want continuous heart rate tracking when I'm awake.

Since my last upgrade of the KDE danctnix software there is an issue when powering off the pinetab: a messsage "A stop job is running for Network Manager" appears, which suspends power off.The kernel is 6.8.0-danctnix1-1-pinetab2. Any recommendations to avoid this?
