"Location services turned off - No applications can obtain local information"
Thats what it says on my phone under privacy settings yet, here I sit looking at the pre-installed Maps application showing my position on the map with a 100 meter accuracy.
Whats up with that?

Do I have to have Flatpak in order for the Gnome apps to work on my Pine Phone? For some reason, just about all of the APPS i have tried to install either don't install, is unsupported, or doesn't do anything when I launch it. (Definitely, without FLatpak nothing seems supported)
I was just looking for something to play videos. Within Firefox ESR the videos play great, but do play the video I shot with the camera I could not find anything. Thanks!

The Pine64 site's PineTab page specifications say that the video port is microHDMI. Looks to me like a miniHDMI connector (I have a microHDMI cable and it does not fit). Before I go and buy another cable and it's wrong, can someone confirm exactly what connection I should get?

1) How should I access the camera from my program? Is the camera V4L-compatible, requiring C-level programming? Or can I access it with higher level languages like Java?
2) On a related note, how should the hardware be accessed in general? Is everything accessed through the kernel API's, or are there higher level API's?

I've a kernel build with DWC2/3 drivers and dual-role support enabled. I'm unable to see any devices in /sys/class/udc. Is there anyone who has worked on this? As I understand I need:
CONFIG_USB_DWC3=y
CONFIG_USB_DWC3_DUAL_ROLE=y
CONFIG_USB_GADGET=y
CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS=y
CONFIG_USB_ETH=y
I see two controllers:
# ls /sys/bus/platform/drivers/dwc3
bind fe800000.usb fe900000.usb module uevent unbind
I'm not able to get any more information by inspecting that filesystem. For my config, I have:
# cat .config | grep USB_DWC3

Hi everyone,
I received my pinephone a while ago however I didn't really have time to fiddle around with it. I set a password for pmOS but I can't seem to remember it, or maybe I mistakenly touched a different number during password creation.
I bought a 128gb SD card from sandisk, flashed the pureOS image onto the SD using balena etcher ( I also tried with Mobian), but I cannot format the phone to factory settings. I cannot get past the lockscreen, I've seen posts where people have said to chroot, but I don't know how and I don't need any information that is on the phone. I just want to erase the old OS completely and make a new password for pureOS. There's a reset button behind the phone, but it does nothing.
During launch it says "PureOS for Pinephone" but...
As of right now, I am just stuck on the lockscreen of the phone.
Thanks!

Ok, got mine a few days ago and have spent a few hours with it.
BT worked out of the box, it was flawless; it paired instantly to a little portable BT keyboard. Then updates broke it.
Now this is in dmesg:
Code: [ 8.013982] 8723cs: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
[ 8.610158] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: loading rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_fw.bin
[ 8.616714] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: loading rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_config.bin
[ 8.616810] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_config.bin failed with error -2
[ 8.616822] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: mandatory config file rtl_bt/rtl8723cs_xx_config not found
Easy fix. Go to /lib/firmware/rtl_bt and make a symlink from rtl8723cs_xx_config-pinebook.bin to rtl8723cs_xx_config.bin. Probably easiest to just reboot at that point and it works again. Assumed pinebook was similar enough and apparently it is.
Chromium's Wayland support isn't ready for prime time apparently. Chromium almost works but you must launch it from a terminal after doing unset GDK_BACKEND so it will fall back to X. You won't like the result though, there are no controls, no url bar, etc. Installed a few more X packages to get this far, the errors suggest more are needed, dri / GL things perhaps.
Still looking for a video / music player. VLC doesn't ship a gtk front end, only QT, mplayer doesn't ship a front end at all. Gnome-Music launches then locks up or complains about tracker, installed that and no change. Gnome dependency madness? So bit the bullet and let Audacious drag in some QT libs. It fails to do anything useful, displaying a dialog that won't fit in portrait mode and just a blank screen if launched in landscape. VLC with the QT front end behaves exactly like audacious so mixing QT / Plasma apps with Phosh looks like a no-go at this point.
The text editor shipped doesn't work well. You can type all you want, when you try to save it locks up. kill from a terminal is the only solution to get rid of it. If you enable the side panel you can browse to and open/save an existing file. None of the dialogs work with the screen size though, making navigating it a pain.
If the camera situation can be resolved, Cheese probably works AND Gnome Authenticator looks like will also be usable once the camera works. Might be able to import existing keys from FreeOTP as a workaround, will update if that works. Big "road to daily driver" check box if so. Gnome Maps also looks like it works, haven't pushed it yet but it runs and shows stuff, scrolls, zooms, etc. Another very hopeful sign.
Installed xterm. It is strange. The BT keyboard works almost perfectly with it, the onscreen keyboard types gibberish into it. Can't hold CTRL while clicking so the menus aren't accessible by BT, at least not from this little keyboard. As soon as I click it releases CTRL and the menu disappears again.
The usb network port is erratic. If it boots plugged in it doesn't seem to appear. Unplug and plug after it boots and it works in a USB 2.0 port but not in a 3.0 or 3.1gen2. Need a dialog somewhere to control it, whether it does anything (i.e. charge only), network, mtp, etc. Haven't found where gadget mode gets detected and configured yet. Still learning.

Hi all !
I am very pleased to have a Pinephone PMOS Convergence Edition and distro-hope since day 1, even if I think I'll settle on Mobian as it is the most stable of all.
But there is one thing that I didn't encounter anywhere else on this forum nor Reddit : the camera works with 1FPS as expected at this development stage, but there is a problem that I saw on every single os that as a camera software that is working (mainly Mobian, ArchARM and UBTouch) : preview and photos seems to have odd colors, greenish saturated.
I suppose it might be a software issue because that problem exists with the back and the front camera. I also tried to turn on and the hardware killswitches without success.
Could it be an hardware issue ?
Thanks to all !
