Will there be any September Pinephone sales, or will Pine64 wait for feedback from the
last batch before they offer them again ?

Are there any more main board revisions planned ?

Thanks

  They will be opening orders in " mid - September " !

  They have decided to ship it with Manjaro installed from the factory.

  They are still considering which of 3 desktops to use, 
               Currently the Phosh desktop gets the best battery life.

        Phosh would definitely be my first choice as a phone desktop !

Is it still not possible to change the ringtone under Mobian to something that will actually get your attention?
Whenever an SMS or call comes in, I still just get that little "bweep" noise.
I want to set it to  something obnoxious and preferably louder.
Also, do the volume buttons actually work with the volume of the ringtone?

Afternoon,

I ordered my first Pine-phone recently and am looking for a compatible SIM card that will work with the device. Canada's phone plans are expensive as heck and don't offer much- so I am looking to use a pre-paid SIM instead for the Pine-phone.

Have any Canadians had luck with Lucky Mobile? Are there any ways to determine the compatibility with the new Pine phone before activating a SIM card?

Any information is appreciated!

 
Trying to follow the Jumpdrive flashing instructions on the Mobian Wiki and have run into a wall.

Once I run "blkid" to list the devices, I get a list of 10 devices in the phone.

Which one do I direct bmap to?

I was told to flash to, for example, /dev/sde rather than /dev/sdeX  as in:

sudo bmaptool copy mobian-pinephone-20200805.img.gz /dev/sde

This gets an error that the dev is busy... and I can't unmount it.  I'm afraid to just pick one of the partitions because I don't know what will happen if I use the wrong one.

These are my options:

Is anybody able to help me?

Just got my PBP Aug batch and have 2 questions:
1. Am I supposed to flash the touchpad/keyboard firmware linked in the wiki?
2. If I want to boot from SD, am I supposed to flash anything? I believe that the chip boots to emmc first, then the u-boot on the emmc is supposed to try booting from sd-card. Is that how it works?

Just got my newly ordered PBP a few days back, and started playing around with it. Overall love it, and I'm looking forward to experimenting with different OSes and configurations.

The charger that came with the box manages to charge the PBP, but it seems to get stuck at ~87% battery no matter how long I leave it charging whilst it's off. I switched to a 5V3A USB 3.0 PD charger and cable, and that pushed it to around ~91% but no further.

Today I got around to downloading Fedora Linux and went through the motion of decompressing and dd'ing onto a SanDisk Class-10 A1 64GB microSD (verified with F3), and I noticed that the action of these two combined whacked my battery from 25% to 12% even while charging at max input of 5V3A (USB 3.0 port). The action of writing/reading 50+GiBs alone shouldn't cause the drain, as F3 testing did that with no discernible impact on battery.

Is this normal? Or is there something wrong with my battery? With both the inability to reach capacity and the massive drain issue. I believe it's still under warranty so I could perhaps ask for a replacement battery.

Hey, everyone, I really like the donation program and believe it's great initiative.

Maybe a counter for the shipped Soft TPU cases would be good way to introduce something simple that gives a chance for members to talk about the program more often.
I think it would be great and it will give the feeling of interacting with the donation program more directly. Updating the counter every few weeks or monthly, would still be a conversation starter and should help for those periods of time between forum/ blog updates about the initiative.

What do you guys think about the idea?

Where might I go to find information about the status of USB C dock support for UBPorts? I've got a hardware modified UBPorts edition Pinephone. I used the factory test image to ensure that the ANX7688 affected by the hardware issue went through it's test successfully. Also, charging and a mouse work using PostmarketOS. I'm using a Mokin model MUC1901 hub.

Thanks to all of the folks working on UBPorts for Pinephone!

Since April 2020, DHL started charging an extra fee for "remote locations" in my area.
I'm not even that far out of town, but out of their delivery zone. I used to get them to drop packages at their depot in town so I can go pick them up for free, but now they charge $38 extra for that, even though they don't have to do the last mile delivery...

Here is a link to the PDF listing all the postal codes worldwide affected by that surcharge :

https://www.dhl.com/content/dam/download..._id_id.pdf

It's a 234 pages document listing about 100 000 postal codes.

So I'm wondering if Pine64 is working on offering alternative options for shipping?
People living in those areas who order a $150 pinephone will pay DHL $63 (25+38) shipping before duty and local taxes...
That's almost 50% of the cost of the phone for shipping... I'm sure there must be cheaper options.

Hi community,

I tested the latest mobian and I am honestly impressed. I would say it's the most useable os (at least for me) right now.

There is one issue that I discovered which is bugging me a bit : I can't send text messages on 4g . 2g works well ... any idea why or is there a fix available ?

 Cheers
Helium
