This is probably my most frustrating experience yet!
For some reason after an update my phone ended up on the stable channel. It can no longer revert and will not allow me to update to further dev builds
It says build 8 but i know there's at least a 229 dev

I recall a news post informing us that the BraveHeart UbPorts Pinephone had an issue that required a solder fix so the battery could hold a normal charge.  I keep checking the news updates and I haven't seen anything more about where I can get my phone fixed.  I've asked on Telegram too.  

Anyone know if a list is still being worked on as to where I can get this fixed? 

I've watched the how to video but my experience with soldering is limited and I've never messed with small circuit boards.  I don't feel comfortable doing this myself.

I know this edition was for testing but it was suppose to function properly on the hardware end.  I thought about buying the latest edition.  Although, I fear it will have some hardware issue too and I can't get it fixed either.

For those that care, the fork of emacs pure-gtk3 works with phosh.

Hello,

I just purchased a rockpro64, and I am having some very odd issues with it:

- I attempted to install the Debian official image twice, and I caused it to kernel panic with the official image.

- I also attempted to use Armbian, and when I tried to update it, I got a segmentation fault on dpkg.

I have looked around and I have not seen anyone complain about these issues.

EDIT:

This is caused bybad memory. I ran as root on Armbian minimal install:

Very often, I just want the notifications to go away.  It appears the only way to do that is to enter the app for each and every notification?  A swipe, or a "dismiss all" button at the bottom would be great!

So my work laptop ran out of battery today, so I had to pull out the Pinebook Pro to go to an hour long work meeting.  I was a bit worried, but running in Chromium, it had absolutely no trouble showing a full group of people and a screenshare.  I expected slowness or it to get hot (my old Macbook pro that I have for work does), but no problems whatsoever.  A really pleasant surprise

Once upon a time, i found my self in a position where i had to develop a firmware for an IoT device with different hardware revisions, different cellular modems used in several different countries / cellular networks. There was continous delivery of new and custom fw versions pushed over the air. To debug and verify new firmware releases was.. interesting.. 

I tried to set up solutions with jenkins or gitlab runners to automatically or on request deploy code to the targets, but it was hard to get it "right".

To make my life easier (possible), I developed an integration testing framework this framework consisted of  "test nodes" connecting to a "test manager" and then a API that i implementad a commandline interface and a web gui for. 

The test node:
The test node consist of a raspberry pi / orange pi / pine board, a jtag/swd flasher (or gpio flashing), a Ina219 module for current measuring, a servo and a relay.

DUT = Device Under Test, in this case a PineTime

The test node can:

• cause button press / release
  
  
• cause motion / tilt
  
  
• measure current consumtion / charge current
  
  
• turn on / off charging
  
  
• read debug output (RTT and / or UART)
  

Dear All,

Just wondering about the keyboard mapping in Anbox in Manjaro Phosh.  If I open an Android app and try to use typed input, almost no keys seem to have any effect, except the backspace key which produces the '=' sign.  Do I need a specific keyboard to make this work?

Dear All,

I'm a noob to all this.  I got my PinePhone convergence edition (3GB/32GB) a week or so ago and I'm running Manjaro Phosh.  I've tried everything I know how to actually open a note in Gnote, but nothing seems to work.  It lists the notes fine, but no combination of short tap, long press, swipe up, swipe down, swipe left or swipe right will actually open the bloomin' thing!  Any advice very welcome.

Hello All,

I've recently become interested in radar-detector-detectors, they are devices that can be used to detect if a radar detector is being used to check for speed traps. I know they work by detecting local oscillator leakage from the radar detector and I want to see if that is possible for WiFi modules. That capability could be really useful for hardware cybersecurity efforts.

I've read the data sheet of the RL-SM02BD that is on here and it did not explicitly say what the chip uses for the LO its RF front end. Before I start going crazy with the VNA I wanted to ask if anyone here has more insight into this chip's operation? I don't know all that much about it.
