Hey guys,

it is already the second time that I experience this. I want to update with

Hi all,

are there any compatible repos to install PlasmaMobile instead of Phosh? I really like Mobian but I'd prefer PlasmaMobile to Phosh.

Thanks!

I don't know if this is occurring on the UBports end of things or the carrier end, but this is a somewhat concerning security bug.

I can send but do not receive SMS messages, I'm on dev channel, up to date as of today. I've filed a bug on that elsewhere. A couple of times a day I message my wife to see if she gets mine and to see if I get her reply. I never do. Today, I messaged her and she replied to the received message. I did not receive her reply, though her iPhone noted that the message had been received. She then got a message saying "Who is this?" to which she responded "It's your wife," and then a reply back saying "Huh?"

I did not receive any of her messages, nor did I receive any of the replies to those messages from whoever was sending them.

About 20 minutes after that, I DID receive a text message. It was an automated message from Venmo (or purporting to be so), with a 2-factor authorization code. That is the only text message I have received in several weeks. I have never had a venmo account.

My wife is using an iPhone, recent version, never has had any difficulties with SMS.

Can somebody explain to me what is going on, and how to fix it? I mean, like ASAP? I have no idea how much of my data is being compromised.

I am, to put it mildly, a little bit freaked.

I've been using Mobian on my Pinephone since receiving it last month, and am absolutely amazed at how far it has come in such a short amount of time. This will definitely become my daily driver in the near future (as soon as Purism fixes the problem in libpurple that won't allow me to receive SMS messages via CDMA). Thank you to a-wai and the rest of the devs for all your hard work on this great project.

One small problem I'm having, however, is with the default music player Lollypop. When I start the app I get a message saying "Scan disabled, missing collection." And then it won't find my music. I've got Mobian installed on the eMMC and have a 128Gb SD card I'd like to use to hold my music, photos, etc. At first I only had music on the SD card, told Lollypop where the music was located, but nothing came up in the app. Then I tried moving some music to the internal memory in the regular "Music" folder, redirected Lollypop to that folder, and it still didn't find it. I don't see a setting anywhere in Lollypop to enable a scan for my music, so I'm stuck.

I installed Rhythmbox and it sees my music just fine, but I'd like to give Lollypop a try since it's probably better-suited to a small screen.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts on how to fix it would be appreciated.

When I was looking at the included dock in the convergence package I noticed that it might not be ideal for convergence. Let me explain why.

The use case: 
 - You have the dock permanently on your desk connected to the monitor, power, keyboard, mouse, etc. And when you get to your desk you connect your pinephone with 1 cable to the dock and start working as if it where a desktop.

The problem: 
 - Now you are working while docked and you get a phone call.

The current options:
 - hold the phone to your ear with all the cables still attached (very awkward and clunky if at all possible as the lead of the dock is very short).
 - disconnect the pinephone from the dock to answer the call (you can't keep working in convergence while answering a call).
 - have a headset and answer the call using it (now you have to plug 2 cables to the pinephone as the dock does not have a jack).

Possible Solutions:
 - Replacing the lead of the dock with a connector so you can have a cable with the length you want.
 - Making the lead longer.
 - Having a headset or headphone and mic jack on the dock so you can have a headset always connected at your desk.

I know these solutions sound way easier than they are, as almost all if not all docks on the market have the current design (which is perfect for laptops but not for phones). So take these as just recommendations for the future :)


TL;DR: The lead of the dock included is too short for convergence use.

I was extremely happy to read the news that the Early Adopter editions would be coming soon. I've been holding the buttons on my Pebble 2 in place with tape for a while, and hoping that I could order a sealed PineTime with a bootloader and half-functional software before it finally quit. Alas, that was not meant to be.

I didn't want to order a dev kit because I have more projects than time already and really wouldn't be able to contribute much to the development effort, especially in these early days. Not that that's even an option right now, as the website shows they're out of stock.

I'm not here to complain about the website stock or the development, production, or release timelines. I'm not even here to beg for an update on the release schedule. The things'll be ready when they're ready.

Not being able to receive notifications on my wrist has left me feeling kind of naked, to say nothing of having to pull my phone out of its holster to find out what time it was. It's gotten to the point where I've started getting anxious.

If the dev kits were still in stock late last week, I probably would have bought one and tried to find a way around the fact that they weren't water-resistant. (at least to the "able to wash dishes or take a shower with it on" level)

If you were me, what would you do?

Either buy another Pebble or a low-end Wear-OS watch to tide me over?
Or just suck it up and wait until the Early Adopter PineTimes are available?

The Pinephone is a real computer in your pocket, and could eventually replace a notebook computer. But to be used as a mobile computer, one usb-c connector is too little. It is possible to add for instance a connector like this for mobile use:

but this setup is not so stable. Integration of such an adapter by default in the Pinephone would make out of the Pinephone a real mobile computer, which could replace a notebook.

Please start by reading this blog post.
In this thread you are welcome to discuss and submit your PinePhone keyboard designs. I am well aware that myBB (the software running this forum) isn't particularly permissive of hosting various document types (e.g. it will not permit you to upload a .stl), so some portion of your idea(s) and design(s) will have to uploaded externally. You are also welcome to use our Wiki for the purpose of uploading project-related files.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Hi
Is there a way to suppress the trackpad when typing?
Sometimes my palm accidentally touches the pad when I'm in the middle of typing something, and in the worst case selects a block of text already written, and them my next key stroke overwrites it.
What I would really like is a feature that for n seconds or microseconds after the last key press that the trackpad just doesn't do anything.
If I don't press a key for n period of time then the trackpad would automatically start working again.
I'm on KDE on Manjaro and I'm new to both.
thanks DNJ

Calls are now stable but it seems there is only one volume. When i use the volume buttons i see it change on the screen, but the actual in call volume remains constant on the medium-low side.
