  My Daily QA - 2020-09-28
Posted by: plainenough - 09-28-2020, 11:28 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Be aware, these tests are being executed using an out-of-box testing methodology. All tests are preformed with minimal interaction/setup of devices outside of: OS imaging/updating,  SIM installation, Wifi Configuration,  and Power Cycling the devices.

Results: ubports/2020-09-28-TMobile

Conclusion: This OS is not ready for the device to become a daily driver.

Notes: Alright, after a couple weeks off, I was hoping for some different results. I guess not; Still open to the idea that the camera button is to reverse the image not switch to the 'selfie camera' if anyone can confirm either way I would appreciate it. Failed 4G outbound call still an issue. 3G outbound texting is still broken. No real Progress.

Issues:
4G outbound calls broken.
Phone gets stuck in a weird lock state when spamming power button.
Outbound SMS over 3g is broken.
Audio cuts out after "No Calls" error is handled on inbound/outbound calls. - Unable to replicate this one at this time, but it is still an issue.


  Proper way to use mrfixit update
Posted by: bastafari - 09-28-2020, 10:11 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (13)

I'm not booting from sd card. Tried copying and pasting the updat_sh in terminal after downloading the files but still not working. Am I doing something wrong.


Apparently my uboot is fine. Used etcher on a windows pc to make an sd and worked fine. For some reason dd/of isn't working maybe? Progress in terminal shows like it's doing something, so I'm not sure what the issue is.


  Irritating noise
Posted by: mjc - 09-28-2020, 01:05 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (2)

My PBP makes a regular, intermittent, quiet but audible, whining/buzzing sound. It goes about 4 seconds on, 4 seconds off. I started noticing it today, but I'm not sure if it started today. It's irritating enough that I've been playing music to cover it up, but that's not an ideal long-term solution.

Any thoughts?

What is the pre order deadline for the Manjaro OS PinePhone date?

Simple question I know. But I can't seem to find an answer for it here?


  Moonlight game streaming on Manjaro
Posted by: ShootTheMoon - 09-27-2020, 05:44 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - Replies (2)

Hi all!

So a makepkg of moonlight-qt works pretty well (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/moonlight-qt/). I adjusted the version to 2.2.0 and got a working package.

It even streams from another machine on my home network, but that's where my success kinda ends. Streaming at 1080p/60fps seems to be just too much given the software-based decoding from ffmpeg. Even though I've run the hardware acceleration patching scripts from the pbp-tools repo (https://github.com/xmixahlx/pbp-tools), the streaming client still can't pick up the available devices:

I've run the pbp-install-libva, pbp-install-libva-utils, pbp-install-libva-v4l2-request, and pbp-install-ffmpeg scripts. Do I need to run on a patched kernel as well? I'm not sure if 5.8.10-2-MANJARO-ARM has the patches or not.

I wasn't expecting vaapi to work yet based on the other topics I've read throughout the forums, but I was hoping either /dev/video1 or /dev/video2 would have reported back with the v4l2 format as available.

Any other suggestions are welcome as well!


  Android 9.0 and Pluto on Rock64-1G
Posted by: missdeenola - 09-27-2020, 02:57 PM - Forum: Android on Rock64 - Replies (1)

Hey all,
I'm currently trying to get a 1GB R64 up and running with the Rooted Android 9.0 image and things have been going pretty well, but I do have an issue I'd like to cover here before I try to make any serious changes and that issue is with the Pluto TV app.
 Let me first explain that I already have the PlutoTV app installed on a 1GB R64 with the Android 8.0 image. I installed PlutoTV onto it from the Google Play store, which I installed through the ADB, as suggested in another post on this board.

My current project is the 1G-Rock64 with the following
Image: ROCK64_dd_20190618_stock_rooted_android_9.0_emmcboot-16GB.img.gz (using Etcher to program 16GB eMMC)
Google Play Services: version 20.36.15 (080406-333172415)
Google Services Framework: Ver: 9-6475783
Google Play store Ver: 21.9.47-21[0][PR]331897675
At this point everything seems to be working well, as Play store works. I also had to figure out to unplug the keyboard and use the on screen keyboard to input the wireless password but the apps I've tried so far work. Except for Pluto.
Pluto, as loaded from the Play store gives the following error:
 INCOMPATIBLE VERSION
The installed APK is not compatible with this device. Please download a supported version from Google Play.

My question(s) are: Has anyone else had this issue with this app, on this image? Could this be an issue with the image, or that it's not the AndroidTV version? Should I load the un-rooted image (ROCK64_dd_20190617_stock_android_9.0_emmcboot-16GB.img.gz ) to correct this issue? I truly don't mind having to reload this card with another image, the question is more about saving myself a bit of time testing another image, because this one had been going well so far.

Sincerely,
Deanne


  Wall wart adequacy
Posted by: Perl6_user - 09-27-2020, 12:12 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (11)

I've been using the newly-arrived PBP, usually plugged in. In some sessions, the charge indicator drops below 100%, but still says it's charging. If that's true, it suggests that the wall-wart is unable to charge the machine at the rate it uses power. (Modest use, nothing dramatic.)

Is this a software problem, a failing unit, or is it an indication that a more puissant charger might be a good idea?

workaround, use atlantic/reykjavik.
