I would like to disable all animation and smooth scrolling, in the hopes that this might speed up my Mobian phone's performance. Does anyone know how I might do this?

Also, in general, if you have any recommendations to speed up Mobian, please let me know.

I find that when using Nextcloud and KeepassXC on my Pinephone that they don’t fit the screen properly so I can’t see all of the boxes or buttons to click on. I have tried adjusting the scaling through Terminal but if I can get the programs to fit better then nothing else looks right. I have tried Manjaro ARM; Mobian; and Postmarket OS in Phosh as well as Manjaro Arm in KDE but had the issue with each. Any ideas ? Should I be reporting this to the program developers themselves ?

What are people using to monitor power consumption? Specifically, I would like to be able to monitor consumption by individual systems, modem, wifi,  USB etc. I am trying powertop but it keeps saying 0mW for everything and I know that is not true. I am new to powertop so I assume it is due to my mistakes. Anyone have configuration advice or other recommended applications. I prefer command line but I can make most things work.

TIA

flashed jumpdrive to sd card using Etcher, boot off the card, jumpdrive says it's running. connected phone to laptop using the supplied red cable, but Etcher is finding no place to flash the new OS image. the phone storage doesn't show up with lsusb, either.

I'm using the Pinephone CE UBports edition, and have reset it to get rid of any settings that may interfere with this.

I've tried rebooting the laptop with the phone plugged in, I've tried rebooting the phone while plugged in, nothing.

the sd card seems to be good. Etcher reported no problems, and before flashing jumpdrive on it, I had stored a Mobian image on it which worked with no problems.

I'd really like to run Mobian off the emmc and I don't care how I get there, but I'm stymied. the mobian_installer utility fails, but that's for other reasons (it wants glibc 2.29, UBports is using glibc 2.23. I suppose I could try installing it by booting mobian from the sd card and then installing the OS from it, but installing a running OS just sounds like a recipe for disaster.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Hello folks, finally I have started to test the PP with my separate SIM card I've bought just for PP. To test the calls etc. I have firstly wanted to import my contacts from daily driver phone (iPhone in this case). I've used 3rd party app in iPhone to export all my contacts to .vcf format which I then did send to my email. Using Geary I did save the .vcf to my pinephone.

I have then followed https://wiki.mobian-project.org/doku.php...]=contacts to import the contacts via Evolution. There the problem started.

All the contacts have been imported successfully, but calling them via Contacts didn't work. Why? For some reason every contact I don't have saved with prefix (format +<country specific prefix>) in tel. number (it's not like that in my iPhone either btw so it's not import problem) was called with prefix+10 using Contacts app. If you would ask why don't I have all the contacts saved with prefix for phone number, it's because sometimes I was lazy, and when calling Slovak mobile phones in Slovakia I don't have to use any prefix.

To explain in better, example:
- contact imported via vcf, phone number imported: 0910 123 456 (this is a standard Slovak mobile phone number). Displayed as 0910 123 456  in Contacts as well, everything looks good.
- calling the above number via Contacts results into calling: +10 910 123 456 which obviously fails (Slovakia has +421 prefix) instead of calling either 0910 123 456 or +421 910 123 456
- interestingly Contacts is at least clever enough not to ad a prefix for numbers which already have it

I couldn't find any setting in Contacts to change it, to stop adding prefix on its own, so I had to come up with my own workaround I wanted to share ^^. This is applicable for contacts imported via Evolution (vcf) tested on Phosh pmOS and Mobian.

1) take a backup of your vcf
2) check whether you need to modify anything in vcf:

Hi,

I have been having issue with detecing image sensor(/dev/media0) on NixOS image. 

Finally decided to tear down the picecube enclusure to found there is a problem with 24 pin connector that it cannot properly fit in standard AWM 20624 cable as shown in attached pictures


My best guess is that it's a manufacturing error on this one specific 24 pin connector on my PineCube after discussing this on discord channel with other members who do not have this issue.

Could someone help me here as to how to proceed here in resolving this issue ?

hi

I just installed the new 3GB/32GB motherboard on my braveheart
I installed the new JumpDrive 0.6 image on an sd card.
I installed the version of mobian of 13/11/20.
I see the phosh menu then the screen is grey.
when I press the power button I can see the date and the device icons.
once the passwd entered, I have only the grey screen.

Good morning all.
I received a Pinephone 3GB Manjaro ARM 64-bit GNOME 3.38.1 Wayland 3 weeks ago.
I don't know how to access the version of Manjaro
I have the following difficulties:

1. The autonomy is ridiculous: 24 hours in full standby. By exclusively using the "power" application, it displays an instantaneous power demand of more than 3W for a voltage of 3.9V, which would empty a battery of 3000mAh in about 4 hours ... The battery does not seem to be involved but rather the consumption of the device.
   
2. When I try to make a call and it does not succeed (off-network), when I recover a network, I have to reboot the phone to be able to make a call.
   
3. During a call, my correspondents can hear me weakly.
   
4. When I receive a call (the phone wakes up), the ringtone does not ring for 5-10 seconds.
   
5. When I get a text message, the notification is displayed but I cannot open it to read it. I have to wait for one or two more text messages to be received before I can open it …
   
6. The calendar app is unusable: the buttons are so small I would need a stylus to reach them. I wrote down an appointment, it displays with a character size of 1mm, unreadable without a magnifying glass and cannot be enlarged.
   
7. Some applications, such as "File History & Trah" have a display that overlaps the screen and is not crollable, therefore unreadable.
   

Hello.
I got my pinephone a few weeks ago, played around with different operating systems and environments. But it was only yesterday, that I first tried to use it with a SIM card, because I want to start using it as a daily driver. I'm using the Manjaro 3gb CE.
Calls and SMS work good on postmarketOS, but mobile Internet doesn't. So I'm wondering, if this is just a software problem (I tried various operating systems including the preinstalled and updated Manjaro, postmarketOS, ubports and by using the multiboot image I also tried PureOS, KDE Neon and some other) or if my network provider just isn't supported (using O2 Germany). If the second is the case, I'm willing to change the provider, but I must be sure, if this is really the problem. APN was selected automatically in postmarketOS and seems to be correct according to research I did (pinternet.interkom.de). The status bar shows '4G' and mobile data should work in this area.
There is also a second problem, that the signal gets lost from time to time to an unknown state and gets reconnected after a few minutes, maybe this is related to the non-functional mobile data. I read some older threads describing this problem as well.
Finally, I would like to use the change to thank Pine64 and the community for making all this possible. Thank you!
Greetings

Hello folks,

testing currently the pmOS on my PP. I'd like to thank you for the hard work you did, I'm very pleased with the progress made in last months.

I've got one query - is it possible to provide user/touch friendly email client for phosh? I've read about patched Geary, and I can confirm that Geary in current Mobian is usable better than in pmOS (even with scale-to-fit on). I assume it's because pmOS doesn't provide patched Geary.

Is it possible to include patched Geary in pmOS please? Or is there any other recommended client for Phosh? I do not consider web clients to be a replacement for standalonde gui client.

I did try to build https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/geary/-/b...py/INSTALL on my PP but I couldn't meet the dependencies (to not to break the system like gtk+3.0)

Cheers
