I have to say, having your go-to distro on the PBP is nice.

The eOS image prompts for setup on first boot—something the other images could stand to improve (Manjaro installation image excepted, of course).

Very nice to use so far.

Hi,

My pinephone64 arrived today and it looks very, very cool but...I can't get the back off so I can get at the battery! I apparently need to do this to remove a piece of place over the contacts.

I found the little 'notch' on the corner, but can't work out what to do with it. I've tried pulling the front/back bits apart with my finger nail, pushing in with the tip of blunt knife (ala iphone 'pin' mechanism) but so far nothing except for some sore fingernails. I'm pretty sure I'll end up scratching the thing to death in the process of getting it open - it seems to be a talent of mine - but I just thought I'd check first to see if I'm missing something obvious.

Bye!
Mark

Image Install :

First download the latest Jumpdrive release (0.6 alpha) from ( Link Below ) and write it to an sdcard using any tool (dd, etcher, everything should work). Put the sdcard into your phone and reboot, it should now boot Jumpdrive rather than the pmOS system.
Then plug your phone into your PC using the provided USB-C cable, the internal storage of the device (eMMC) should now appear as a mass storage device on your computer. Download an image from (Link Below ) you'll probably want    

Is there a general download section for this board for the different firmware images for this board?

Was there ever files released by pine just for this board even if its older just an authentic release to start with?

Since this chip is a common chip for other devices like the android tv boxes and other boards im planning to try anything and everything i can find till i find something i like or that works but i thought ide start here first with an official release of something to try?

I'm trying to get Mobian to work on my Pinephone, but can't get it to boot. I flashed the most recent image to an SD card, but when I try to boot, it just gives me a green LED that stays on indefinitely. Through Matrix I found an issue on the Mobian Gitlab that describes exactly the problem I'm having:

Unable to boot Mobian on 3GB "Convergence Edition" Pinephone

Is this an issue specific to the convergence package since it has different hardware than the regular Pinephone?

Also what's "The New Normal" for IoT Devs? Could it be Simulators + Remote Testing? We'll chat about that too.

Obviously a useful feature. I have a micro SD plugged in with Arch flashed on it. How do I install arch?

Just got my PinePhone yesterday.

I went through the setup, configured WiFi, which seemed to connect just fine.  On reboot it doesn't seem to auto-connect, but if I manually click on the SSID I want, it connects up fine.

I checked resolv.conf and checked that the interface got an IP address.  Both look good.  I'll admit, the PostmarketOS is new for me, so maybe I missed a quirk.

Any suggestions on what to look for?  My WAP sees the device.  My device is getting assigned the DHCP assigned IP and DNS settings.  But, I can't seem to connect to anything, even directly by IP.  

Any help is appreciated.

Hello everybody, 

Ordered PinePhone convergence edition yesterday. I got an order number but did not receive any other information. 

What is the process? How long will it take to reach here to Europe? 

Is there any place where we can track the order?

Thanks

Been using Mobian as my daily driver for today and yesterday but just a few hours ago the LED starting blinking blue as if I had a notification but haven't gotten any. Anyone else experiencing this? I am updating now to see if that helps.


Edit: Updating didn't fix the issue.
