I just got my PineTab delivered with DHL, and the screen is cracked.  I wouldn't really care, but unfortunately it is making the touch screen functionality not usable. 

Is there anyway to get a replacement screen, or ship it back and have it replaced?

Thanks for any support you can provide.

I'm happy to announce Hypnos version 0.1.0-rc1, which is a free PineTime firmware compatible with the (coming) factory-installed bootloader.

The Hypnos project aims to

1. produce a functional, user-friendly, energy efficient firmware for the PineTime smartwatch
   
2. distribute all the software, fonts, graphics and documentation under free licenses
   
3. work closely with the PineTime community and its myriad of development efforts
   
4. do things the "Zephyr way" and to upstream any improvements
   
5. keep the code base clean and the build process free of warnings.
   

ANSI PBP, updated to the latest Manjaro version.

I'm trying to use the USB ethernet dongle from the store:
https://store.pine64.org/product/usb-network-dongle/

According to lsusb, it is,
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0bda:8152 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8152 Fast Ethernet Adapter

On the left side (USB 3), it typically won't work unless it's plugged in while the system is booting.
On the right side (USB2), it can be hot-plugged.

But in either case, it keeps dying after a short period of time, say 15 minutes, and then I have to reboot to get it working again.
The attempt to restart then hangs, and needs a long power press to hard-power off the system.

Left side failure log (from journalctl -r) :

Like the title says, Where can I buy? I read somewhere the phone will be available in October online in China, but where? Can I then use the phone out of china? Specifically USA? Will there be any China specific modifications to the hardware/ software?

Side note, living in China, I'm forced to use WeChat. Will it work on a PinePhone? WeChat typically doesn't let you use their website mobile site. As far as I know, you must use the app. I assume if you are selling in the Chinese market, you've considered this.

Attempting to connect to Google through UBPorts "Accounts" setting results only in an endlessly spinning "Wait" symbol



When I try to sign into my Google account with the Morph browser (or, for that matter, with the Onion browser, which I downloaded), after I enter my login name I get a screen which says "Google Couldn't sign you in. This browser or app may not be secure...".



Neither the Contacts nor the Calendar app allow me to connect to my Google data, through their settings; I'm guessing that the menu items to do so require that I have set up the connection through the general UBPorts setting.

Does the back of the PineTab just pop off like the back of the PinePhone ? I figured it best to ask before I try it as I don't see any noticible notch to pop off like the PinePhone has. I tried searching DuckDuckGo for breakdown guides but found none. I don't plan on any upgrades yet but want to add an M.2 SSD down the road so it will be good to figure out.

Just got the Pinetab. Interesting little device. Can't wait to see where this leads. 

Charging? There was a red USB/power cable in the box. When I plug it, I don't see any indication the system is charging. What should I see?

Thanks.

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.

Conclusion: OS is not Ready for pinephone to be daily driver.


Notes: Random vibration happens every so often. Firefox took over 30 seconds to load this time. Audio/Video on a YouTube video play back of out of sync. That hasn't happened in a while. Phone defaulted to 3G instead of 4G. That was new. Camera is still laggy, UI drags behind (delayed touch response) Seems like we are regressing a bit on this build.

Does the Allwinner A64 used in the PinePhone have a hardware random number generator, or do Linux users have to rely solely on the Linux kernel's pseudo-random rng?

The GUI v5 is the well known and often seen graphical user interface of the OpenBCI software, and is it now based on Brainflow libraries, which are available for ARM processors. You can see the version history of the GUI here.

This is good news. I was looking for a long time for an affordable mobile EEG platform, but I failed. Matlab cannot run on ARM processors, OpenSignals cannot run on ARM processors, but OpenBCI with his GUI v5.


There can be found OpenBCI EEG cable version devices for eight channels in the web for about 200 USD, I suppose they are cloned devices, since OpenBCI says there is no cable version:

Now, I have become an OpenBCI convert.
