Hoping there is someone that can shed some light on these connectors for the cameras. I popped off the hinge (on a braveheart edition) to remove the ribbon connector, but I'm having problems getting it to clamp back down on the new main board revision.

In the video with Martign Braam installing a new board, he conveniently has the cameras preinstalled yet this is the part that I'm having the only problems with, and of course that is the part the factory did for him (probably because it's a pain).

They appear to be just hinged and not the ones you have to flip then slide it in to lock but I'm putting a lot of force and it has started to flake off some of the plastic so I'm afraid of going further.

Hi!

About 4 days ago, I received my new ME Pinphone and I'm very happy with it!
I've been playing with it and it looks awesome! But today, I installed a SIM card, which I bought for the Pinephone. The PP asks me the PIN and unlocks it, but I am not able to call or send SMS and I don't know what can it be... Any ideas??

I tried the SIM card with my other phone and it works correctly, but with the PinePhone I do not see any phone coverage, and I tried to activate the mobile data and it does nothing...

As said by @kern707 the uname -r gives me the following:
5.9.1-9-MANJARO-ARM

All the help will be appreceiated! Thanks very much!

EDIT 2: I bought 2 Pinephone, one for a colleague of mine. So, I tried to install SIM in this Pinephone and it works without any issue!! The only difference between both pinephones is that mine was updated, when I type uname -r in the other pinephone the response was: 5.9.1-4-MANJARO-ARM. it is possible that the problem had been the update?

I will try to reinstall the image of the Pinephone to get mine to 5.9.1-4-MANJARO-ARM.

Been lurking on these forum since getting my Manjaro convergence PinePhone. I've been around linux for a while but am definitely a novice with no significant programming or IT skill.

With that in mind, I gotta say, I am impressed with where Mobian stands right now. Maybe not a daily driver, but it feels like it's a bit undersold on the forums as to how close Mobian is to getting there.

Just want to call that out and say thank you to everyone who has been working on this. Great work and I am excited to see where this heads.

I had some issue but finally got my 3/32 GB mainboard upgrade working.

I loaded the Manjaro build.

I have Docker, Docker Compose, TMux, WGet loaded.

I can create and edit a multi container deployment, access it via Firefox or WGet and do it all while working on a bluetooth keyboard with trackpad using a full screen monitor.

This is awesome!!!!

I just wanted to share and thank everyone who made this possible!!!!

Hi all,

I received my Pinephone a few days ago, installed mobian on it, and noticed I could not get the battery to fully charge while plugged to a USB3 port.
"Power supply" was showing me "Current limit : 0.5A", although I know an USB3 port can deliver much more.

So I went looking for a solution and ended up simply tweaking this current_limit by putting

on manjaro phosh, after updating (pacma -Syu), libwlroots version got updated.
leaving me with a broken device, because phoc seems to require the previous version of the lib:

Today on my sdcard with Manjaro I ran pamac upgrade. Although I saw a few doubtful messages it seemed to run to a successful end.
However, after rebooting I can no longer unlock the screen. ssh is still working but I have no idea how I could repair that situation?

Hi!

I want to install package pure-maps, which some sources say should be updated in alpine repository.

Still "sudo apk add pure-maps" gives "not found" error.

Should I add some additional repository on PostmarketOS?

I would rather avoid installing pure-maps via flatpak.
"flatpak install flathub io.github.rinigus.PureMaps" gives "flathub not found" error.

Please, how could one install pure-maps on PostmarketOS?
Preferrably in "apk add" way, or at least via flatpak?

Love the look of the phone and will probably end up getting one.  However I do have a few things that past phones did that would make it even better.

The main thing is two stereo speakers right on the front rather than on the back. My OG Nexus 6 has that with one at either end of the screen and it's much better than having it on the back.  I know I can use HDMI / audio jack for that and it'll sound better but if I'm using the phone on the go and showing a video to a friend of mine it is kind of a large issue.

The second idea is a little trickier and more of a software thing.  My Atrix 4G had this thing called Webtop which when you plugged it in opened a full Linux installation.  I know the phone IS Linux but it did a few neat tricks.  The main one though was it let you use the phone as a trackpad/keyboard for the larger screen https://youtu.be/G8-92J9hfkA?t=56 I thought that was the very definition of a "killer feature" that no other phone had at the time, and that no phone as far as I know has anymore.  Google bought it for the IP and then sold it to Lenovo, neither really doing anything with it.  I know it's more of a software thing than a hardware one though (although I'm not sure about the TX capability of HDMI) and I could just use a Bluetooth keyboard.

As far as the kill switches those are awesome, but one has to take the back panel off to access them.  My idea is for an option to have a back with a cut out access door that is either fitted to the switch controller or has a protective case with a sliding door over it which would protect it when not in use (especially since if a protective case is thrown on it, then you have to remove the case AND the back cover to access the switches at that point.  I don't know if there are any case options available for it yet, but obviously it's good to plan ahead.

I just like throwing ideas out there.  I'd make a post for each individual issue but I don't want to clutter up the board.
