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

Hello. 

Is anyone aware if a simple 3d model exists for phone anywhere? I have ordered the back cover (I found the step file on the wiki) and would like to drill holes through it and insert some type of contact for the pogopins, making them accessible from the outside.

I don't have the phone yet, and the order limit for back covers is 1. 

When I do get these things, I only have 2 chances to get it right. I would like to prepare the code for a drilling operation and it would be helpful to put to holes in the right place. 

Even if there is no 3d model, a dxf file with the pin locations relative to the perimeter of the phone will work. 

Thanks.

[December 31, 2020] I've opened the KDE shipping thread a bit early to let you all know that we're currently approx 7-10 days behind schedule.
Long story short, a key component wasn't available until now. We were planning on shipping the KDE CE early January - this has now been pushed back to mid-January. I'll keep you posted on shipping progress in this thread.

[January 5, 2021] Following the slight (10 day) delay, were now back on track and everything is going smoothly. We currently expect to start shipping on January 18. Sorry for the delay.

PSA for UK users: We have been notified that our EU warehouse is no longer able to deliver PinePhones to the United Kingdom. This may result in order status being changed or cancelled. We are, however, working on a way to resolve this situation. As soon as something more is known, I'll make sure to update you here. We apologize for the situation - it is completely outside of our control.

[January 18, 2021] Shipping will start this week. As I already mentioned, we were running a bit behind schedule; the initial delay was caused by component shortages, but the production team also encountered some software problems late last week. These issues have now been sorted thanks to the KDE team, and the team will work though the night today and continue work on Tuesday to get all phones packaged for shipping.
Due to the COVID19 situation in Europe, DHL delivery to and from the EU warehouse are likely to be slower than usual (fewer flights from Hong Kong to EU, as well as slowdowns in deliveries between EU boarders).
Once again, apologies for this slight delay and your continued understanding

[January 27, 2021] Some of you have today received an information from DHL that your PinePhone KDE CE was 'returned to shipper'. Having already accepted the shipment and all paperwork, DHL decided to take an issue with the size of battery warning sticker. A sticker size they've never taken issue with in the past I might add. As a result of this, new stickers will have to be issued and new paperwork will have to be filed. This should take about a week. We always own up when we mess up - but this one is completely on DHL. Regardless, we're sorry about the delay; shipping will work as fast as possible to resend the PinePhones.

For those of you in the US; most KDE CE PinePhones should be arriving any day now.
For those of you in Europe (excluding UK): the PinePhones are already at the EU warehouse and should be dispatched your way soon.

[January 30, 2021] Those of you who received 'returned to shipper' notification: the shipping team is working over the weekend to sort out the new battery warning stickers. We are aiming to have your units prepared for DHL pickup on Monday. Please accept DHL's apologies for this situation.

European users (aside from UK): shipment has already started and most of you should receive your unit this time next week.

[February 1, 2021] PinePhones which were previously 'returned to shipper' by DHL have now been dispatched. Thank you for your patience.

[February 5, 2021] Hello everyone, we've had some additional difficulties with DHL shipping these past 5 days (link here for those interested). We're sorry about the longer-than-expected wait. The good news is that all remaining KDE CE PinePhones have now been dispatches.
If you haven't received your DHL tracking number then please do not worry, you should receive it early next week at the latest. 

This, in all likelihood, concludes this update thread. Thank you once again for your patience.
