  Mouse drfting when using the trackpad
Posted by: jcarty - 09-11-2020, 07:51 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (1)

Hello,

I recently got my pinebookpro. I've had a small issue however. The mouse seems to drift a little when I use the trackpad. Is there a setting I can change to stop this?


  I can't put the sim card in the slot
Posted by: jmak - 09-11-2020, 05:35 AM - Forum: PinePhone Hardware - Replies (6)

I tried several ways to put the sim card in the l lower slot. 
First, I pushed it all the way in and as a result the card almost completely disappeared in the slot, but the phone didn't recognise it. It was very difficult to take it out, I had to use a needle to force it out. It took me quite some time to take it out. I am afraid I damage the simcard. 
What is the proper way of putting the simcard in the slot?
Thanks a lot.


  Phone not detecting telco access points
Posted by: Pinoideae - 09-11-2020, 02:49 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (6)

Hi everyone,

I just got my phone in the mail and got PostmarketOS up and running. The phone is not detecting any telco access points. My Android phone does. Any ideas?

Cheers,

  Information about new Pinebooks
Posted by: junker - 09-11-2020, 02:09 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook - Replies (1)

Good morning everyone,



I'm new here and I ended up there following the beauty of the Pinebook.

I was looking for infos about how to buy a Pinebook, but I couldn't find any new about it. I only found infos about Pinebook Pro, PinePhone, PineTime and PineTab... Is there a way to know if Pinebook 11" is still available or it has ended?


Thanks in advance.


  ... and now the screens broken.

Had to take it apart again after the sd card got trapped again. when reassembling one of the securing magnets at the bottom dislodged and got in the way as I was snapping it closed. so now the screens cracked. will replacements ever be made available?


  Make it easy?
Posted by: wdt - 09-10-2020, 10:05 PM - Forum: Linux on Pinebook Pro - No Replies

This is for those making distros
It is most annoying when blkmmcX "jumps" around, there is NO consistency
This really pisses me off, and I am sure, confuses many people (myself included)
So, we could follow uboot, mmc0 is first device found, mmc1 next, in bootrom order I think
OR
make symlinks. /dev/emmc -> emmc (whatever it is),,,, /dev/sd  ......
A bit of a problem if device is absent maybe???

It, after all, is only an edit of dtb, well dts, in alias section
It would be so much more easy giving advice,
and, with a desktop, for most, /dev/sda is the boot drive, and maybe no other
until a flash is inserted


  No consistency in where PP boots from
Posted by: Cree - 09-10-2020, 09:47 PM - Forum: PinePhone Software - Replies (1)

I have UT on my eMMC and multiple distros on different SD cards including a newer UT so i can use it with expanded memory. For some reason, regardless of what SD card i put in, about 40% of the time it will bpot from eMMC and the other 60% it boots feom the intended SD card. My understanding is it should only boot from SD if one is present, but thats not my experience. Sort of like flipping a coin each time i boot.


  SD card issues.
Posted by: pjsf - 09-10-2020, 08:43 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (5)

just in case it helps anyone, I couldn't find a way to open the sd slot cover on mine. A bit of stray glue seem seems to have got onto the inside just there. After taking the back off and removing the excess glue it's now operable, however the alignment of the slot and the case makes it really difficult to insert and remove cards. Is this typical of others experience? I'm just wondering if I haven't put the back on properly.

  How to boot from USB?
Posted by: kendew - 09-10-2020, 07:25 PM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (7)

Hi,
I'm trying to troubleshoot an unusable PPB I've just received.  I've read here:

Quote:The Pinebook Pro is capable of booting from eMMC, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, or an SD card. It cannot boot from USB-C. The boot order of the hard-coded ROM of its RK3399 SoC is: SPI NOR, eMMC, SD, USB OTG.
But I can't find any info about how to boot from USB 2.0.  Does anyone know about this?  I'd like to boot a PBP Arch or Fedora image to see if my problems persist.


Thanks
Kendew
