The wifi of my pmos 3GB edition pinephone does not work. It shows that wlan0 interface cannot be found, and dmesg log reports an error after modprobe.

Hi


Has any of the available distros for PinePhone fixed the poor audio quality yet? If so, which one(s)? Also, loudspeaker option if any of them has implemented it yet?

Cheers!

I was wondering how to deal with the different releases. As manjaro is based on a rolling release, I would guess that updating via pacman should be enough to keep my phone updated. But maybe having device tree and boot scripts for pinephone are exceptions and I need to reflash whenever there is a new build posted?
Thanks in advance for your information!

Hello, as you can read from the title, I can't get my PBP to boot from the eMMC or the microSD. I have used Linux a little before, specifically Kali. I was trying to install Arch Linux because I want to use it as my main distro. I was following the instructions on https://github.com/nadiaholmquist/archis...g/20200702. However, I think I must have done something wrong because once I did everything that the installation process said, I proceeded to boot and it did not boot, it got stuck on a black screen with the orange led on. I then tried to boot without the microSD, directly from eMMC and the same happened. I think it has something to do with u-boot but I don't how to turn it on to fix it. I have been browsing the archives and forums for hours but I can't seem to find a solution. I am just afraid I might have killed my new PBP. I appreciate any suggestions!

Manjaro 20.10 has Linux Kernel 5.8 and now it's really easy to install and run Anbox.
It's not very fast, but at least it's a start.

I started "Run Anbox" and Anbox, but failed.
After a reboot Anbox works.
I think we need better OpenGL support for games like Super Tux Kart to work in Anbox.

Hello,

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong that no matter what method I try, I can't install a new OS on the PinePhone? Right now I'm using the "Method Using Factory Installed Tools" and I'm following these steps:

1. Format the micro SD card.
   
2. Download the .img.gz or .img.xz file (depending on the distro).
   
3. Extract it so it becomes a .img file.
   
4. Copy that disc image file to the micro SD card.
   
5. Insert the micro SD card on the PinePhone's top slot.
   
6. Start up the phone.
   
7. Select the directory where the micro SD card is mounted; in my case it's "cd ~/mnt".
   
8. Run the following command: "sudo dd if=MOBIAN.img of=/dev/mmcblk2 bs=1M". I obviously tried to install Mobian this last attempt.
   

Hi all!

I've been using Mobian on a Braveheart for a while now and I'm really impressed with the project so far.

My plan right now is to write some simple bash scripts for various purposes. I'm sure it's documented somewhere but I figured I ask here first. I would be very happy if some of you Linux experts out there could help me out.

How do I toggle the following functionalities (devices) on or off only using the Kings cross terminal:

1) Wifi?
2) Bluetooth?
3) Modem?
4) LTE?

Hi All,

I've flashed Sailfish onto my Pinephone convergence (3GB/32GB) and am having trouble getting the time and date right.  If I set it to automatic update, it doesn't update at all and is months out.  If I switch auto update off, it seems to allow me to change the date and time, but actually completely ignores what I set it to and keeps it at the setting it was at beforehand.

Since the time and date are in the past, the browser refuses to work with just about any website, because of security certificates etc.  I really hope this issue is fixable - can anyone help?

Hi, I just got my pinebook pro. Upon playing it a little bit, I installed manjaro i3 on the emmc. And Installed a NVMe but for some reason NVMe doesn't show up. Do I have to somehow enable the NVMe ? (script etc.) It also doesn't show up when I do df -h
When I switch on the pinebook, power led lights up orange for 5 seconds and then turns to green is it normal?
I appreciate if you could help. Thanks in advance.

Some time in September I called someone I had spoken to two, three times prior. This time a different person answered. It took a few second before I realized it.  I double checked afterwards. It did not show that I dialed the 2nd person.  Same day, similar situation, the phone call went to the voicemail of yet another friend of mine whom i did not intend to call.

The above happened in one day. Hasn't happened again since.

Today, it was with sms. I received a sms that was clearly from my sister, but it came under a friend whom i hadn't been texting since 2 days ago. When I double checked with my sister, I found that I received 2/3 of her text, and the end of the text I received was not from her. Nor was it from the friend.

Any insights?
