  How easy is it to add donor keyboard and trackpad?
Posted by: ENV - 11-02-2020, 03:43 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

Currently the only option for the keyboards is ISO and ANSI, but I'd prefer not to have so many vital keys under the fn key and larger arrow keys. Something like the Elitebook 840 would be ideal

If I can find a keyboard that fits in the size, how much work would it be to make it work? Is it as simple as adding drivers/remapping all the keys? Or do different laptops use different connectors? I know the touch point is a separate connector but I'm fine if it doesn't work.

The same applies for the touchpad, can that also be swapped out for a donor? I don't like the crappy flat touchpads and clickpads in most chromebooks, windows laptops and macbooks. I prefer the better touchpads most laptops had before and most top end business laptops now only seem to have like this:

How difficult would be to donor one from a different laptop? I don't need gestures (though side scroll would be nice but not mandatory)

Hi all,

Thanks!

  The questions that mobile phone reviewers never ask
Posted by: amosbatto - 11-02-2020, 07:54 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (6)

I blogged about how the reviewers of mobile phones never ask the right questions.

When writing that article it struck me that the PinePhone would rank much higher in the reviews if reviewers cared about the right things when reviewing mobile phones.

  What to do with my old board?
Posted by: gizmuth - 11-01-2020, 10:48 PM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (4)

  How do I configure my data connection?
Posted by: madera - 11-01-2020, 10:29 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (1)

I got my Manjaro pinephone today and currently tinkering. Most things work out of the box, WiFi was straight in and even seems more stable than my android phone which is a big checkmark in the pinephone's box.

The only problem is I can't seem to configure my data connection. I'm happy hacking into text files if need be, but I have no idea where to start. My Telco's APN details are here

https://apn-settings.com/australia/telst...-settings/

As far as I can see, the modem supports the LTE B1, B2 and B28 and I seem to be having no issue making calls, but data is just not connecting at all. Can someone give me some pointers about where to start debugging it?


  Compatibility between RPi Module and Cluster board
Posted by: leperotero - 11-01-2020, 01:44 PM - Forum: Clusterboard - Replies (1)

Hello guys, I have a question

Is the RPi Module  compatible with the SOPINE Cluster board and vice versa? Can I use a SOPINE in a RPi Compute Module board?

Thanks!


Sad Can't boot from SDCARD anymore...
Posted by: bryanpaget - 11-01-2020, 09:31 AM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

First of all I'd like to say "I love my Pinebook Pro!"

Next, I'll state my problem.

I am unable to boot from sd-cards.

I can still boot from the main drive and I used to be able to boot from the sd-card but... I installed Armbian on the Pro (which is awesome) and I installed "firmware" through armbian-config. Maybe I should not have done that but I have had nothing but great experiences with Armbian on my other Pine64 boards so I didn't think anything bad would happen from doing this.

How can I restore the original boot preferences?

Thanks!

Bryan P.
