  new pinephone received with no battery?
Posted by: senorsmile - 09-02-2020, 01:10 PM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (4)

I finally got my new 3gb pinephone.  
Plugged it into power, installed postmarketos.
Wifi through phosh doesn't seem to be doing anything. 

I popped off the back, and there's no battery.  
I'm not supposed to have ordered a battery separately, right?


  Online account (google) not working
Posted by: RodMyers - 09-02-2020, 10:12 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - No Replies

In attempting to get my google online account working. It's NOT.

I'm doing the following;

Settings → Online Accounts → google

brings up a requester that states;
       sign in with google.
Also says
       sign in to continue to gnome

I attempt to use my google account info, keep getting;
       something went wrong

Why is my gmail/google account info not working?

Why would I need an account on gnome to get to my gmail account?

  cellular connection: status and technical information?
Posted by: pphone-newbie - 09-02-2020, 10:01 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Hi all,

on my pinephone a data connection was successfully established. However, in my area there are bad LTE reception conditions. It would be interesting to check what the hardware gets out of the poor conditions.
Therefore: Does anyone know a tool to collect (more or less) detailed information about the current connection? Is mmcli usable for UT (I found some discouraging posts regarding this topic - and before I misconfigure/"destroy" the system.....)

Hints would be great!
Thanks a million!
Best
Mat


  Wifi not working
Posted by: dbrandon - 09-02-2020, 09:41 AM - Forum: PostmarketOS on PinePhone - Replies (9)

I just received my Postmarket Edition of the PinePhone.  Got it all setup everything was working great but the wifi stopped working.

When I try to reload the wifi kernel module I'm seeing this error in dmesg.  Any insight to what might be going on here?

  My Daily QA - 2020-09-02
Posted by: plainenough - 09-02-2020, 09:04 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (8)

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.

Results: ubports/2020-09-02-TMobile

Conclusion: This OS is not ready for the device to become a daily driver.

Notes: Had bamboozeled myself this morning, I thought that 4g outbound calls were finally fixed..... plot twist I left the phone in 3g mode from yesterdays testing...... Damn. Anyways, no real progress. Not much action on the issues tracker. (to be expected to be honest.) Overall the OS hasn't been laggy for some time. The new settings application updates are nice. Worked out a lot of bugs that caused the settings menu to hang when opening. All in all, this OS is making progress. Please feel free to hit up the ubports forum to apply a little 'pressure' to the OS development side.  Also, please feel free to leave your feedback on this post. Let us know what your seeing and we will at least attempt to confirm the behavior to validate your experience.

Issues:
Failed outbound 4G calls kills call audio.
Unable to send 3G SMS Since Dev-158
4G outbound calls broken.
Phone gets stuck in a weird lock state when spamming power button.


  Having trouble compiling Jumpdrive
Posted by: PineTrees - 09-02-2020, 06:50 AM - Forum: PinePhone Software - No Replies

I am having a great deal of trouble trying to compile Jumpdrive. Specifically, the busybox dependency, but there are other failures. I'm not sure if I need to compile a different version of libc to link to, or if I'm just missing some packages for some cross dependencies. I'll post my build log below, and will answer any further questions if requested. Thank you.

  Manjaro XFCE vs. Manjaro KDE

I think Manjaro XFCE on Pinebook Pro is slower than Manjaro KDE. Can anyone confirm this?


  Phone calls on New PMOS Community Edition phones
Posted by: bcnaz - 09-02-2020, 06:13 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PinePhone - Replies (3)

Has anyone succeeded in using the new PMOS Community Edition Pine phone to place or receive phone calls or to send & receive sms/text ?

Using the Factory installed operating system...?

Using an alternative operating system... ?

If so what carriers have been tested and working ?

Thanks for sharing

Update :

I received my new PMOS Convergence Pkg phone about 4:00 pm in the afternoon after the above post.

I just did some quick preliminarily tests using an AT&T prepaid sim card, (my sim card needs to be replaced as it does 'connect' to the internet, but will not allow me to 'use' the internet).

First I tried the Post Market that is factory installed,  I did the updates, then everything I tried worked.
Both incoming & outgoing voice calls and sms/text works incoming and outgoing.
Using the wifi for web browsing Firefox appears to work slightly better than earlier releases.
The mobile data did 'connect'  but I got the AT&T message "it looks like you are trying to connect to the internet, but your account does not have data..."

Then I tried the September 03 nightly release of Mobian, again everything that I tested was working for me, also, same as above for my attempt to connect to the internet.
Both Firefox and the Gnome browser were working fine from the wifi.
 I only checked the speaker phone function on Mobian and it did not work.
This test was done with a sd card, but speed was ok, considering....

Both tests were done as a GUI user, just adjusted the usual settings and basic inputs.
So consider this as :   "Out of the Box"   tests.

  NOTE :  The first couple of calls on PMOS there was no handset ringtone heard, and no voice/audio ether direction.
But,   after that it performed very well.
