To start I'm a complete newb. I downloaded Android tools from the store. Adb works but I have to select file transfer on the phone first otherwise adb devices doesn't list the phone and gives a permissions error. Then in order for fastboot to work I have to type $(which) fastboot. Which doesn't work exactly right because fastboot reboot recovery just rebooted the phone to the os. Additionally I couldn't find a folder for the tools though I thought it would have been /use/bin. What I normally do is keep my platform tools folder on my desktop then I drop my files I want to flash in that folder so all I would do for example is type fastboot boot twrp.img. So I saw Arch wiki had some stuff on platform tools but honestly it's above me at this point. Any pointers, easy instructions or general help I can use? Thanks.

Forgot to say, I'm on Manjaro.

The Pinetime has a build in heart rate sensor.

But what is the accuary of it? If it has only one or two green lights, it can deviate arount 10 percent of an ECG heart rate sensor which is the most accurate. External sensors are affordable and of much higher quality. The Polar OH1 for instance has six green lights and ECG accuracy, and costs about 80 USD.

The Stryd is the most accurate foot pod and costs about 300 USD. But the Zwift Runpod when calibrated has the accuracy of a Stryd foot pod, and is about 40 USD. Foot pods are very accurate, more accurate than GPS, and step counting from a foot pod is more accurate than from the wrist.

Why not to choose the most high quality from the beginning, when it is affordable? Both sensors can be paired over Bluetooth low energy. I don t know how to control these sensors from the Pinetime, but here you find software to control these sensors on the Pinephone:

Hi there,

To my understanding, pine book pro is using battery when it needs to even if I plug in the laptop to AC. I wouldn't mind about this behavior; it is happening even if I just do web browsing; I see the battery suddenly dropping to 91% but charging while I am on AC.

However, the issue is when I try to compile heavy programs. With sagemath, it seems impossible to finish the compilation without draining the battery. I have also tried to compile a linux kernel using pbp-tools, which narrowly finished before the battery dropped below 15%. I was flipping coins and making bets whether the kernel will compile first or the battery will drain first.

My question is: Is there any way that I can compile these kind of software without concerns on draining the battery? Also, is there anything I can do to prevent pbp using battery even when I browse?

You give a carrier or MVNO your IMEI, where the first 8 digits are a TAC that identifies the EG25-G, and the next six digits are just some sort of serial number (I think), and then a checksum digit, and rather than saying “Oh, the Quectel EG25-G! A fine piece of hardware! It’s been certified by the carrier, has a VoLTE profile, etc., so you’re all set, and enjoy your service!”, they say “Sorry, we can’t help you.” — so most people having to activate their SIMs in other phones.

What am I not understanding?

And is the situation likely to improve in some way over time, or is this just life for PinePhoners?

Hello beautiful people! 

I got the new community edition shipped with Postmarket OS, it is a nice! However, I wanted to try different OS, thus I was trying to play smart and I got myself blocked now after I deleted the partition that holds the system file for PostmarketOS, so for now I only have the partition for booting only with no OS file system. 

I read in different threads that I can start my PinePhone on recovery by connecting USB A-C cable, holding the volume up button with the power button, but this didn't work for me. 

I am now considering using Jumpdrive on an SD that I will buy, but I want to see if any of the geeks around can help me to see if this problem can be solved without getting an SD card, just by using a USB cable and computer with Linux system on it. 

The message my phone now stuck in is the logo of PostmarketOS and written under "unable to mount root partition" https://postmakretos.org/troubleshooting 

Thanks for your insights and help!

Hello all,
As new on the forum and in your PINE world, I greet everyone. I came here looking for a Linux tablet, whatever. My attention was drawn to PINETAB - Tablet 10.1 Linux Tablet With Detachable Backlit Keyboard.
Unfortunately, I can see availability problems. Can anyone give a realistic date?
I am waiting for the opportunity to buy like gifted with ADHD    .

My pmOS CE phone show "On no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again.". How to fix it?

Will there be an option to get a upgrade like the Pine phone, to more ram and a larger eMMC..?

Will the PineTab sales include a contribution to the Developers..?

What operating system will follow the Ubuntu Touch on the PineTab ?

Will Post Market OS be next as was the Pine phone, or straight to the Manjaro OS, as both the

phone and the Pinebook Pro are moving to.?

I am kind of Hoping for a Mobian OS edition, as it works so good on the Pine phone, and Debian 

has a huge support base.

I would ask about Zorin OS,  but their very first release of a Arm64 operating system is tentatively

proposed for late December of this year.

Not sure where this post fits, but since I'm a first time user I'll put it here.

I recently received a PineBook Pro.  I am very enthusiastic about this project and would like to get everything up and running well, but I'm worried by some problems I have been having that I've never seen with any other Linux install or computer, and I've installed many.

The biggest worry has been the keyboard.  On first boot, all went well with login and input of requested info.  As suggested, I updated the software on the PineBook Pro.  I rebooted, and after rebooting, all was still well.  After charging, the next time I booted and logged in all went well, but suddenly the keyboard was unresponsive.  I logged out to see if that would fix the problem.  However, I was not able to log back in because the login failed.  I enabled password visibility so I could see what I was typing.  The keys I hit had nothing to do with the letters that appeared.

The first letter I typed did not appear at all.  After that, all letters appeared as CAPS, even though caps lock was not on.  Turning caps lock on resulted in letters being typed in lower case.  However, whether caps lock was enabled or not it was impossible to type any numbers.  The symbols above the numbers was all that appeared. 
Rebooting once, then twice did not solve the issue.  I was unable to login.  Thinking it a lost cause, I shut down the computer.  This morning when I rebooted I could login and all was well.  For awhile....


Then the same issue started repeating itself.  This time I noticed it was mainly an issue of caps or not.  If I typed a letter, I could get caps, but if I kept re-typing it, I would get some lower case letters to appear as well.  At any rate, nothing consistent.  Of course, this makes the PBP essentially unusable, especially when I need to type a password in the terminal and can't see what's being typed!

However, I need a computer that I can rely on.  I take it with me and need to know when I boot I can login without any trouble.  I need to know what this problem was so I can avoid it.  Perhaps I should mention that KWin constantly crashes.  I tried LXQt to see if it might be a KDE issue, but kwin also crashed just as much.  Reinstalling kwin didn't help.

My eventual plan is to remove Manjaro which I have never liked and install another distro, probablly Arch Linux since there is quite a bit of PBP software for it.  My second choice would be Fedora.

Has anyone had this kind of issue?  I really want to be a PBP user but need reliability.
