Finally took the plunge and moved phone service to my pinephone, time to get on the cutting edge of Open Source.... ouch.

Can send and receive SMS, can receive calls.  Can't call out.

Here is what showed in .xsession-errors

I've done some exhaustive testing with multiple different distributions (Manjaro, UbTouch, SXMO, Pure) on my new Manjaro CE PinePhone, and no matter what, after some time, the 4G stops working completely after unlocking the screen until i reboot the phone. I've also updated the modem firmware from the sticky post in your forums but that didn't change anything either. I've been getting conflicting information on matrix/google. Most people say they don't have those issues or very infrequently, for me its constantly doing that and I feel like I spend most of the time rebooting my phone to get it to work again briefly.


Support was unhelpful as f***, made me doubt they even read the damn ticket and really pisses me off...

Thank you.

I have done more experiments on my old Nexus 5 with Ubuntu Touch.
I installed Gedit (text editor for Gnome) on it, it works (except for the on screen keyboard, it never comes up at all)!
But I noticed that if you keep it open and turn off the screen, the battery will become warm and gets discharged very quickly until you close the app.

Does this happen on PinePhone under Phosh or Plasma Mobile too?

Question was put under "Manjaro" category, because this is the edition that will arrive here next week.

I have an issue that I can't resolve. I try to setup the Pinebook pro (With Manjaro Arch Linux) in such a way that it will connect to cabled with a fixed IP and all if my USB adapter is plugged in and fall back to wireless with DHCP if that is not the case.

But Network Manager only sems to active the network if I login.

I want all of this to work regardless of who logs in.

And preferably just configure this from the CLI and not use a point, click and pray solution.

Unfortunatly the documentation in this regard is scattered and not clear to be honest.

So if someone has some good pointers to documents that do not go over all the point ane click screenshots that don't work for me but just show the config files I need to edit then I will very much appreciate it.

PS: I just happen to be a vi kind of guy.

Hi All,

I just wanted post this hear, it's pretty new now and might be interesting for our beloved PBP, the announcement mentioned AMD64 only. Over time I guess would come to ARM64 too.

https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-web-remix/19394

Hello, I bought a PBP recently and I received it and used it for a bit. Its basically brand new. I really love it and enjoy it but I don't really have time to use it and I would rather sell it to someone that will use it and put the money to better use. I have the eMMC adapter and the 128 gb eMMC as well as the 64 gb eMMC. I will ship it anywhere in Europe. We can discuss the price, this includes all the import taxes(which are quite expensive) for the PBP and the accessories. I can ship it anywhere in Europe and we can choose shipping.

Ok, so it seems that line out/headphones jack works in Android 9 on RockPro, but I need to run this app before:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...dset_testt
Without running it and clicking on Speaker Toggle there is no audio from audio jack. It seems that the headphones/line out cable is not detected.

So, how do I enable line out by default after boot? Now I have to run that Speaker Toggle after each boot when I want to use line out.

there must be some asound/alsa config some somewhere, but I was unable to find it.

Hi all,
when i start the application "Software" in order to search or install any softwarepackage, the application crashes when i e.g. tap on the category "Games" or "Audio & Video".

I switched over from ArchlinuxARM, there had been the same issue, but it was solved by dance12 via a package update.

Plz have a look: https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pi.../issues/91

Update: Found a similar issue here in this forum, will close this one ...

Now when I press the ^ symbol on the bottom of my phosh screen, the aps all tile on the desktop, but the close buttons (the "X") are all missing!

This broken phone screen issue has been a bing for years, but I had an idea for a long term fix.

Make the phone top layer of the sreen plastic and put a screen protector and if possible put a 1mm indent around the casing to indent it.


The screen protector is the main glass of the device so in the event that you smash your screen, and you can peel it off and put a new one on(or go with a plastic screen for a while).

The big guys in the phone world don't do this because they lose the screen repair bill they and charge and also make the phone useful for longer, so people buy new ones, they lose money.
