ANSI Pinebook Pro's just showed up in the Pine64 Store as  "In Stock"   with mid - September Shipping   !

How about some good news like that for the Convergence Package Pine phone ?

I just received my Pinebook Pro today, and all was going well until i realized the screen wasn't turning off when I shut the lid. I was able to put the PBP to sleep with a magnet, but not when I close the lid. My only guess is that the magnet is missing from the top lid?

It would be wonderful if CRUST could be configured to leave both the cellular data and wifi networks alone if they are being used by an app when turning off the screen. Otherwise, that terrific podcast you're listening to about penguins just goes pfft! when your screen dims.

Does anyone have any hacks, scripts, bash files or magic which will allow this to happen until the devs get around to it? If you post one that works, I'll tell you everything you wanted to know about penguins.

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.

[b]Conclusion: [/b]OS is not Ready for pinephone to be daily driver.

[b]Notes: [/b]The Microphone is getting really sensitive. The audio out quality is suffering because of it.


I started a longevity test thanks to a comment from @ragreenburg

I set the phone down and let it go to sleep. After about an hour i send a text to my pinephone. I never received it. I called the pinephone. It never rang. I unlocked the phone to see if it would reconnect. It didnt.

Connection to the cell towers broke and the phone had to be rebooted to reconnect. Connection to my wifi broke and had to be rebooted to reconnect.

I dont have a section on my test sheets for this longevity test yet.

I haven't needed to use the phone functions of my phone for awhile, but today I noticed that I have no audio in phone calls.
I also have no audio when using the headset.

I can listen to music and watch videos with sound... but headphones still don't produce sound.

But concerning is that I get no audio in phone calls... further, I can't activate the speakerphone. pushing the speaker button on the interface does nothing.

has anyone else experienced this problem?


I can get the little "ding" for receiving SMS, and I can send/receive SMS...

My phone function was working last I used it... that would have been the 18th.

Hi all!  I'm continually impressed with using Mobian on my UBPort Community Pine Phone.  The one thing that hasn't quite make it reliable for me is the battery life.  It seems to be continually draining even without the power saving mode engaged. I have not been anywhere close to the 20 hours of standby time.   Looking at Powersupply it shows that it's discharging at between 1.62W and 1.9 and sometimes beyond (volatage shows 3.64V at the moment). Is that normal? Is there something I should tweek to get it to slow down and relax *oh, and when i charge it it sometimes still gets unbearable hot. Do i have to be careful with the chargers i use?

I bought a Kindle a while back expecting to use some of my favorite apps and experiment with my own but it had almost none. Does the PineTab have:

• Accelerometer
  
• Magnetometer
  
• Gyroscope
  
• Rotation, tilt, orientation
  
• motion
  

Hi,
I would like to start using linux and more specifically ubuntu. 
As a person unfamiliar with this topic, can I cope with"14" PINEBOOK Pro LINUX LAPTOP " and installing the system? If so, do I need to buy additional MICROSD or other "accessories"?
Thank you in advance for your answer

Hi Folks,

I need to record some videos, and it would be nice to be able to use the PBP for this. Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble getting ffmpeg to do an acceptable job of keeping recorded audio and video in sync. I wonder if anyone has any tips, or has had any luck recording decent videos?

Here's the command I've been using:

Im noticing more and more the OTA update process is causing issues. It was not this bad before. Now the phone will crash when attempting to update, then freeze upon reboot, sometimes requiring multiple reboots, sometimes getting stuck in boot loop. Sometimes it runs smooth but after it says the update still hasn't been installed, other times the phone crashes and never says its updating, but upon reboot has the latest build installed. Im getting nervous about using UB touch until we have a more stable version running closer to daily driver requirements. Ive said it is my favorite interface by far, but im getting nervous that this behaviour may damage my pinephone. Might be better off waiting on the sidelines with Mobian in the meantime.
