  Problem with EMMC bootup and detection
Posted by: khantheengr - 11-06-2020, 01:47 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PINE A64-LTS / SOPINE - Replies (6)

Hello guys,
I have recently bought PINEA64-lts boards with EMMC modules of 16gb. I am having trouble interfacing them now. When I burn any image on EMMC ( I have tried several), it dosen't boot from EMMC. The same image when I burn onto SD card,  it starts booting. When only EMMC is inserted PINE64 shows black screen and there is no sign of booting process. Can you please help me out.

I have also tried auyfan's image on SD card. and when I insert EMMC onto PINEA64-lts and check EMMC status, it gets detected with uenv.txt "mmc_compact=on". But when i burn the same image on EMMC and repeat all of above process, boot process does not start.

I am using pine64 usb programmer to program the emmc modules. and i ordered everything from the pine64 official site. EMMC has FORESEE 16 GB IC on it.

When i plugin emmc module in laptop using programmer, it always gets detected and there is no problem in programming the EMMC module.

I am newbie here, hope you guys will guide me well.... Thanks in advacnce


  I don't like heart rate sensors.
Posted by: 11Eleven - 11-05-2020, 06:21 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTime - Replies (6)

I don't like 'em and I don't trust 'em.

I used to have a pebble watch and I wore that thing for years! Best watch I ever had, I was disappointed when the company got sold, support slowly dwindled and now it's just over.. Last year, I got a Fosil hybrid which was nice-looking, but I just don't want that flashing green light on my skin all day. Every smart watch has that "feature" now and it can't even be turned off! On top of that, you have to agree to the companies collecting and selling your biometric data to unknown entities, maybe they're even selling it to THE BEAST. Who knows?! So, hopefully the pine time could fill the void Pebble left behind. Let us buy a model without the heart-rate monitor, or be able to switch it off and have a bit more control over our privacy, if that's still even a thing.  Big Grin


Information Receiving Call During Sleep Experiment/Experience
Posted by: RTP - 11-05-2020, 03:38 PM - Forum: Mobian on PinePhone - Replies (1)

My Experience And Update To Receiving Calls During Sleep:

My Pinephone model: UBports Community Edition Hardware

Several weeks back I tested out receiving calls during deep sleep. I had no trouble receiving or making calls whatsoever (while phone was awake). During deepsleep calling from a landline, the earpiece would always ring on the caller end. No ring would show up on the Pinephone (under deep sleep). Basically, receiving calls during deepsleep did not work for me then.

Yesterday I downloaded a new image since @a-wai 's  announced "transition."

Code:
uname -a

Linux mobian 5.9-sunxi64 #3 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov3 16:24:16 UTC 2020 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I retested calling during by putting power saving mode on sleep after 5min idle.

I waited 30 minutes and made a call to my Mobian Pinephone using a landline.

Here is what I noticed during testing Nov 5, 2020 using an AT&T network:

  1. As the first ring happened over my landline earpiece, Pinephone lit up showing wifi signal connected (no ring from Pinephone yet),
  2. Then cellular bars showed connecting, to connected
  3. After the 6th ring on my landline earpiece, the Pinephone screen went black again and the 1st ringing sound then began between 6 & 7th ring on the landline earpiece (screen still black but ringing sound came through giving me ability to pickup the call Smile).
  4. The Pinephone did ring/wakeup from sleep for the last ring! This was on my first call. I repeated this process/log twice under sleep.

To sum it up: My Pinephone itself does successfully wakeup/ring on the very last 1 or 2 rings for me. Of course you have to pick it up right away (or you can call the number back).

This is good news for me.

I'm not sure if other carriers behave differently (I am not a telecom expert). Maybe comparing/noting reports/phone behavior can lead to finding potential ideas/solutions (if others have an issue).


  SIM Not Detected
Posted by: syrinx - 11-05-2020, 11:54 AM - Forum: SailfishOS on PinePhone - Replies (3)

I have a working Verizon SIM card, but Sailfish does not recognize it. On all of the menus related to this, it says that the sim is not detected. Is there any way to fix this?


  Just flashed and phone won't charge
Posted by: ragreenburg - 11-05-2020, 09:31 AM - Forum: SailfishOS on PinePhone - Replies (8)

I just flashed my microSD last night and gave it a spin and after the tutorial I had 2 issues. The first being that after the tutorial I literally only had the spinning wheel as my home screen. So if I pulled down from the top I could see the task menu(?) but swiping left and right didn't do anything and pulling up from the bottom opened the camera. Secondly, it seems like it won't charge right now. Any work arounds for that? Also, should I just reflash my SD card since it seems like my install is a bit broken?


  Pinebook Pro Case models
Posted by: sundog - 11-05-2020, 09:15 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

Hey, folks -

Is there any chance we could get 3d model representations of the case parts for the Pinebook Pro?

I've got one that I could take manual measurements from if I have to, but it'd sure be nice if something already existed within pine64...

Maybe @tllim knows?


Big Grin Is the latest PinePhone CE that is shipping now a semi-stable device ?
Posted by: kern707 - 11-05-2020, 07:22 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (21)

Hello everybody,

This is my first post, I am new on the forum.

I am a years long linux user on a daily basis, but I have not yet tried a real linux-based phone, that is why I have ordered the latest CE of the PinePhone (ships with Manjaro pre-installed, I have chosen the 3GB version), I am in Europe and I hope that soon I will be getting a shipping notification :-)

One question that I could not find a reliable (or more precisely "recent" answer) on the forum:

Is the latest PinePhone CE with the latest version of Manjaro (incl. Posh), can be described as a release of a relatively stable device at least for calls, SMS, and wifi / LTE connectivity ?

I mean, I am capable of fiddling with software configuration, research some issues to find solutions etc.. but how about a semi-solid hardware + software combi? something that we could say that ok Voice calls, SMS and connectivity works seamlessly out of the box, and the rest is in constant development.

if not, what are the current open issues, and what further efforts needs to be made to get the device into such positioning?

I would love to drop my iPhone and use the PinePhone as my one and only mobile phone.

Any input will be much appreciated, I am a PinePhone Starter :-)

Hey guys, I have had my pinetime a few weeks now and after a few hiccups and great suggestions from certain people I have got the watch working ok except from the time and date, does anyone know of an companion apps that would let me set the date and time on the watch through IOS I have tried a few and they all don’t seem to either find the pinetime or it just says it couldn’t find any Bluetooth signals.

I’ve never seen any public mention of how this is determined/negotiated.


  Arabic language support in Manjaro new Edition
Posted by: Nido - 11-05-2020, 12:40 AM - Forum: General - Replies (2)

Dear Pine-Experts, 
after newbie generalised look at the new Manjaro information.. is a Majaro phone operable in Arabic (text writing - messaging in Arabic).. or is it only for English speaking people ? 
I like the phone for its form factor, battery, humble nice look etc. But I am really concerned if I can write Arabic using its keyboard. 

Many thanks in advance,
