My incoming SMS stopped working somwhere around the Sep.1-2 nightly builds. My carrier is Bell in Canada. Everything else seems to function flawlessly. Daily driver ready for me if I can get my SMS full capabilities back. Anyone else have this same issue?

Howdy all!!

1st I am a complete newbie to Manjaro. I have about 4 months experience with Mint, but when my Pinebook Pro recently came in I feel like I am learning a new operating system all over again. If you are kind enough to help, please be kind and treat me like a kindergarten child...

I use MEGA Cloud almost extensively for my file storage and use a Cryptomator vault. I have no clue how to install these. I could not find them in the repositories and am not finding much on the webs as far as a how-to.

I'm a slowly converting normie, and really appreciate the help!!

Cheers!

P.S. My Pinephone just left China!! Kinda giggity about it!!

So i got 3 of those Rock64 boards off Amazon, i only got one emmc card for one so far.

I went threw all of the Android files (Android is all i really know how to use as of now)

Anyway i installed one that is Android 9 tv emmc boot and one that is SD boot. My issue is the SD boot one has a defualt of 1920 x 1080, the emmc install deufalts at 1280 x 720 and it wont change in the settings, ive reinstalled the operating system more then once and its like stuck in the firmware or somethin

Can some one guide me on how to fix this so its like the SDboot version?

I tried to install the SDboot version onto the emmc but for some reason when using this version on the emmc it no longer reconizes the SD reader (im guessing because the os should be on here instead?)

Its been a fun little board so far, i dig all of the different OS files, havnt tried em all yet but its cool they are available

Greetings,

Any word of progress on the fulfilment centres for the PinePhone CE USB3 OTG fix? I recall it was mentioned in the July update.

I'm in the UK, I'd be willing to pay a small fee to have this fixed. Really hoping to try some USB devices with the PP but don't want to risk burning the motherboard. It's best done by someone with knowledge and proper equipment. It pains me to admit, but that person isn't me

Regards,
R.T.G.

Just got my pinephone, and I’m still using ordinary phosh, etc., that it came with…

I have a headset with separate headphone and microphone plugs. If I plug in the headphone plug
and try the audio test, I hear "front left" from the right ear and "front right" from the left ear.

Is this what I should expect from using this kind of plug on this kind of jack, or is it a
manifestation of audio being a work in progress?

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to update everyone that I finally have a stable build up that supports EMMC completely.

These images include several new fixes and enhancements. Some of those are listed below:

New Features/Fixes

• EMMC Support
  
• Boot partition is separate
  
• SELINUX support in the kernel (disabled out of the box)
  
• Updated wireless drivers
  
• Custom kernel packaging more closely resembles the official Fedora kernel packages
  
• Several new desktop environments
  

I just got my Pinephone and super psyched to start messing around with it.  Has anyone tried a Google Fi data-only SIM?  I was thinking of getting a free pay as you go one.

Hi!

This monthly update is a bit overdue, but with summer seeing a lot of people going on holiday in the northern hemisphere, there hasn't been much progress over this period

Anyway, we got back to work and things continue to improve, although at a slower pace as we already dealt with most of the low hanging fruits. Here are the most interesting features that have been worked on in the past few weeks:

• u-boot has been updated to the latest upstream release and is patch for 3GB PinePhone compatibility, so all images are now compatible with all HW versions
  
• User "root" no more has a default password, which improves security as it will disable root login entirely (you can still set a password of your choice by executing 'sudo passwd')
  
• Default user password can now be changed without the need to use 'sudo': it now accepts any password which is at least 4 characters long, including fully numeric passwords
  
• PinePhone usage as a USB device has been entirely reworked:
  • Internal storages (both eMMC and SD card) are now exposed through the MTP protocol, so you can browse and edit your files directly from your computer as long as they contain a valid filesystem
    
  • Ethernet-over-USB now has DHCP enabled and shares the data connection with the computer, so you can use your phone as a mobile data modem on the go; the phone's IP address has changed to 10.66.0.1 with the latest build (if you upgraded prior to September 5th, it might still be 10.0.0.1 for you).
    
• The volume rocker buttons are now supported out of the box thanks to recent phoc and phosh updates
  
• Thermal management has been tweaked so the CPU almost never gets over 60°C, and the display brightness scale has been improved to allow for a dimmer screen at the lowest settings
  
• Kernel has been updated to the latest 5.7 stable release
  

The recent images for sfos seem to have very stable wifi. I haven't tried a sim card yet, fingers crossed. MTP no longer works. Sailfish connect doesn't work either. Or the camera, but it now features colour bars so something is happening.

Hello,

I just flashed 4 September 2020 nightly build onto my Braveheart.

USB-C PD (Power Delivery) doesn't seem to work any more with *my* charger. It used to work when I was using an older image (which also ran kernel image 5.6 not 5.7).

I don't have a second PD charger to test.

Can someone please confirm that their PD charger works on a recent nightly build? If it does, please let me know the date of the nightly build you used. Please also tell me what make/model of PD charger you used.

I'd like to check this with others before I investigate further the cause.

Thanks
