  any user experience with upgrading from the Braveheart?
Posted by: Nooblife - 11-03-2020, 10:38 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (11)

Hi there!

I already know about the hardware revisions that can be found here, but how noticeable are these changes from a users perspective?

Do you notice the battery lasting longer?
Is the phone more stable?
Can you "feel" the extra ram?

Objective and subjective experiences are all welcome  Smile


  PSA: Transition in progress - don't update !
Posted by: a-wai - 11-03-2020, 03:39 AM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (46)

Hello everyone,

As we're preparing a major transition to 5.9 kernel (and a couple other things under the hood), some packages incompatible with the current 5.8 kernel will be uploaded in the coming days.

It is recommended that you don't update your system for a few days and backup your personal data. You might even have to reflash a new image if the upgrade goes wrong (which is quite likely to happen).

Please note a u-boot upgrade will be part of the transition and will require manual action to install the new bootloader (see wiki).

Thanks for your understanding, hopefully this will be our last breaking change.

  New Manjaro CE Shipped with PMOS not Manjaro
Posted by: LMalilil - 11-02-2020, 07:30 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Got my CE Manjaro phone today and was excited to try it out. The initial setup card says it’s installed with Manjaro Lomiri when it should say Phosh and then mine was flashed with PMOS not Manjaro. Hopefully I’m one of the few this happened to


Bug Initial OS GUI troubles (log out, black screen, crash screen)
Posted by: Ashijo - 11-02-2020, 07:14 PM - Forum: Manjaro on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Hi,

So I received today my Pinephone64 Manjaro edition. I made the first setup, everything seems fine but few second later I'm log out (screen lock) from this point every time I unlock the phone, I have only few seconds before it automatically lock again.
More concerning : instead of a log off I often get a crash screen. This one :


[Image: 1hGwtZfl.png]

Sometimes it is just a blackscreen.
By using virtual consoles (ctrl + alt + f1) I have been able to force an update with pacman (-Syyu) also I never get any trouble from those consoles, I suspect the problem to be in the desktop environment (if I can call it that way Undecided )

Maybe force reinstall the GUI could do the trick ?

I'd like to fix it without having to reinstall the OS, I do not have a SD card, unless there is a way to reinstall to eMMC from my desktop ? 

However, where can I find the log file ?

Thank for your help


  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

[Image: 61uZYGFg7YL._AC_SL1300_.jpg]

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:

[Image: Uq87B.jpg]

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,

Just got my new phone and powered it on after charging and its asking for a PIN number.

Any ideas what this might be or how to get around it so I can add my own?

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.
