I wouldn't have thought this was possible, but the other day I was playing my PinePhone over Bluetooth, and whenever I plugged the USB into that audio adapter, the bluetooth would cut out. When I turned off bluetooth and just played my music, then plugged in the USB, I would get a burst of noise and then silence. It seemed like it was trying to send audio over USB.

Now I have my phone connected to my computer, and I'm wondering how to send audio to my desktop. If I can get SSH over USB working again, I could probably send it this way over CLI. That's a little complicated, though — especially if there's a more direct method.

Hi folks,

I wanted to migrate one of my Pine-A64 Non-LTS boxes to a LTS box. The Non-LTS box was running with kernel 5.9 from unstable just fine. After changing the bootloader the LTS box boots fine as well, however, ethernet seems to be broken. It is shown and detected but no packets seem to pass.

I tried with a different dtb file (from kernel 5.4), but the effect is the same. The stable dtb file from kernel 4.19 works fine.

Is anyone else having network issues with newer kernels on the A64-LTS version?

Is there any seemingly straightforward way to mine any form of crypto on the RockPro64? I have one laying around doing nothing so I figure if I can at least get it making a few pennies a day I might be able to recoup my costs of purchasing the thing. 

Would a USB ASIC miner work on this? Or would it be possible to plug in a GPU into the PCI slot to mine off that?

v0.10 beta for ARMv8-A (ARM64) : Monero (reddit.com) had results on a Pine64 but is it compatible with the RockPro64? How would I install it?

I am only a few minutes into PINE64 but totally I think it's love from first sight with your philosophy!

I want to describe the ideal product for me and hopefully you say something like "yeah, we are actually working on one, to be released next year"...

Sorry if any of this is caustic, I am just so frustrated and tired of consumer tech right now...

My first problem is screen size. I don't know why, as technology advances, screens get smaller...
Like smaller is better? I mean, sure, for my back I guess... But what about my eyes?

* I think the ideal monitor size for a laptop is 15-16". I'd go with 16, if given the choice.

My second gripe is with touchpads - I've never seen one that works, not to my standards at least...
I am willing to give up on lots of features and pay a huge premium just so I can click things.
You know, like laptops used to be, with 2 button under/over the touchpad.
Not sure when/why it was decided that buttons are bad

Anyway, I'll be looking to buy the 14" Pro right now (can't find it anywhere in the UK?).

BUT: if you made a 15/16" with trackpad+buttons - I'd pre-order one right now and I would be flexible with price!

I am sure I won't be the only one - a lot of people just want a laptop for moving around and doing daily things, with:
- No added costs and power usage from ridiculous attempts to make laptops powerful
- No dependency on Microsoft, who act like they bought us and not the other way around
- Decent screen because why buy a laptop at all, if viewing it is a terrible experience?

Honestly, if there's anything I can do to increase the chance you produce one, let me know!

New image has crust power management enabled - this can sometimes entail the device not waking up at all (if you let it charge to full it doesn't wake from sleep and needs a reboot). Battery performance appears much better....over 24 hrs with little use.
Calls still extremely problematic, camera still non-functional. SMS works, sometimes, a reboot gets it back.
Apart from that, everything else appears very smooth on the emmc, noticeably slower on sdcard.
Bluetooth appears to work. MTP and Sailfish Connect (KDE connect) work fine. Patchmanager still doesn't work.
This version has no first-run problems and doesn't seem to have the old security pin bug...it's probably still safer to turn it off after completing the initialization.

i installed the latest arch image from (iirc) 23.12 but i am not able to connect to my wifi.
it is found but when i hit connect it asks for the password, i enter it, the wheel is spinning, then it asks again, in a loop.
i used the same password for ubports and on my tablet, so it is 100% the correct password.
anyone an idea what could cause that or how to debug that to get more information?

Hi,

If anyone has time, why do Plasma (and Lomiri?) have to use ofono instead of modemmanager?
Given that modemmanager, calls and chatty are all working to an acceptable level, why is it not possible to use these within Plasma?
Why can't Plasma be installed on top of Mobian/Arch and modemmanager, calls and chatty be used?
Just curious...

Thanks

Hi,

I have a Pinephone USB-C Docking Bar with my Manjaro Pinephone,
it’s just amazing I can use the phone like a computer on a 23" monitor or 4K Tv,
I try different mouse and keyboard, it work very well, I also can use usb key
and internet, everithing cool !!

Thanks again the Pine64 team and Developers.

Bonne année à tous les francophone de la communauté de PINE64!

Hi,

Could it be possible to list the linux native apps/softwares for pinephone (or mobile) on the wiki ? They're often distribution independant… Maybe, with a litlle sum up of the working functionalities, a link to some git repo, etc…

Thanks,
alex
