I wanted to take out the eMMC and see if it will boot from the SD card, but now it doesn't turn on even with the eMMC back in place. While and while not charging.

I also connected the wires those shouldn't be connected once, and after reading the sticker disconnected them. Hopefully it didn't kill the board


Please help.

Kde is great but I like to run something a little lighter and just happen to think Budgie is  a little better. One approach would be to use pacman to add the budgie desktop package and choose your DE (desktop environment) at login, but I would rather not have to carry around all the KDE libraries for no reason. When I searched around for how to make my own "custom spin" I found some usefull info and thought I would share it here.

Contributing-to-manjaro-arm  was just what I needed. The link lists how to make a manjaro-arm image on an x86 machine.   While there are only a few official supported DE's, I found a way to work with that by modifying the default profiles.  For the remainder of this tutorial we will assume Budgie as the DE.

Picking up from the wiki section "Getting Profiles" we find that the relevant directory is

Hi,
I just got a PBP-ANSI for development purposes and mainly learning programming. My sole aim was to get intelliJ and codegym plug-in to work on PBP and study. IntelliJ works fine but unfortunately I couldnt get codegym plugin to work. I will be selling my PBP inclusive nvme adapter. It's not used at all, just switched on a few times to try. if anyone is interested, please PM me.
I paid 238€ with shipping plus 48 € tax. But I will be willing to sell it for 190 €.
Thanks.

EDIT: Sold! Thanks everyone!

Do not put a blank micro sd card in the phone on initial boot. Maybe it needs to be formatted prior to insertion. but phone will not get past the sign in screen with out a micro sd card.

Hello Pine64 forums.
So this is a strange one to me, but only for the frequency of occurrence - which I'll need to explain.

When using my Pinebook Pro, Manjaro 20.04 Cinnamon DE, it will seemingly power off & simply stay off when it goes to sleep/hibernate. This even occurs, eventually, when no sleep mode is enabled. That is to say: it will power off & won't power back on until I pull off the bottom cover, disconnect the battery connect from the mainboard, press the power button for 5 seconds or so, and reconnect the battery (or power cord - so long as it's getting power).

In my prior years as a desktop support tech I ran across many laptops where the mainboard's little capacitors would not regulate power to the system. Pulling the battery connector out, pressing the power button for 5 seconds or so to discharge the capacitors (I presume), and powering it back on (via battery or AC adapter) gets it working again. But I have to do this so frequently of late I'm starting to wonder if it's an OS issue. It doesn't seem to matter which governor I set via the cpupower utility (I will state I typically run it on the "performance" governor on AC power).

Has anyone got any ideas as to what's going or what else I can try to troubleshoot it?
Thanks a ton!

I have successfully ported the Kalliope voice assistant, https://kalliope-project.github.io/ , to the latest Mobian build, The process was fairly straightforward though the default trigger did have to be replaced with Mycroft Precise.

Add non-free to the Debian Bullseye entry in the apt sources.list config file.
Follow the kalliope install instructions for Debian Jessie
Install a starter kit
Install the precise trigger code for kalliope https://github.com/corus87/kalliope_trigger_precise
Configure trigger word
Start configuring your voice activated services!

When buying parts and accessories from the Pine64 store is there a way to increase quantity ordered of an item? Given the fragility of the Pinephone's back cover and shipping cost from overseas (costs far more than the part!) I'd like to order a couple of spare covers along with some other accessories and parts. However when adding to cart I don't see a way to change quantity, and it doesn't seem to be possible to change the quantity in the shopping cart either. Doing a second "Add to cart" for the back cover does not change quantity in the cart. Am I missing something or is it really possible to only order one of an item at a time?

Applications that try IPv6 connections first seem to use mobile data when the mobile data connection wwan0 has a valid IPv6 address and route when the wifi wlan0 only has IPv4. I suspect this is the reason why my November prepaid 500mb data has been consumed. It's my PinePhone test sim, so no loss. 

RedPocket a US MVNO on T-Mobile provides dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity. My home ISP does not provide IPv6 connectivity. This mismatch seems to be causing problems. My Mobian PinePhone was connected to my home network via usb-ethernet, wifi(wlan0) and mobile data(wwan0) when I apt installed some programs. The download process seems slow and then failed. I didn't check apt's download connections but I suspect they were using IPv6. Consumed the remaining monthly data allowance and then started to fail.

Any thoughts on adjusting the default Mobian routing to prevent applications from using IPv6 wwan0 mobile data when IPv4 WIFI or Ethernet is available? I assume there are some networking setting that can be used.

IPv6 could be disabled, not my preferred solution. T-Mobile and its MVNOs seems to prefer MMS messages get downloaded via IPv6. I've been using Janky-mms and would like to continue to have the ability to download MMS content.

Hey guys, received my Pinephone a couple of days ago and decided to flash Mobian to the emmc, but encountered
an issue.

I followed these guides:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seLfbIIAycc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw3FFz7o-MU

They both use Jumpdrive and Etcher to flash the image and it seemed like the easiest way to go about the installation.
I've flashed Jumpdrive to an SD card I had lying around and managed to boot into it, but after I connected the Pinephone
through a cable to the PC, the emmc did not show up on Etcher like it did in both of these videos.
I tried installing a Manjaro VM to see if it's a Windows 10 problem but the phone still doesnt show up.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
