Hi guys!

I have a Braveheart phone with UBPorts on it and it comes with a fairly old version of Python installed. Is there a way that I can upgrade Python to the latest version? Also, how do I get gcc on this phone as well, it seems like it's not installed either.

Thank you for your help!

Anybody have leads on the tiny screws used on the PineBook Pro?  I've dropped a couple and they immediately disappear so I'd like to find some replacements/

Hi all, I've been using the Pinephone more out in the sun lately and have noticed the screen is quite reflective and hard to use in direct sunlight.

Does anyone have suggestions for screen protectors or other methods to make the screen less reflective in direct sunlight?

Does the tempered glass protector from Pine64 help with this issue at all (https://store.pine64.org/product/pinepho...protector/)?

Hi all hope everyone is doing ok?

So I have a few questions about the PinePhone Postmarket OS.

Does anyone here own or have used the PinePhone Postmarket OS in the UK?

And if so hows that going?

Also the hardware kill switchs?

Do they work the same as the Librem 5 kill switchs that directly cut power to the circuit?

Or are some of the HKS on the PinePhone software based, meaning they ask the software
to stop working rather that physically cut a circuit?

Thanks in advance

Hello!

I'm going to try using my pinephone as a daily driver. As of right now, does any os support mms? That's pretty important for me to communicate with.

Hello!

I've decided to try using the PinePhone as a daily driver for a while. While I was eventually able to get calling and texting working (though only sms and not mms), there's one major issue with calling.

Oftentimes, companies will tell you to press numbers on your dialpad to choose an option (press 1 for this, press 2 for that, etc.). On my pinephone, these buttons do not work in-call. Has anyone else gotten this to work for them?

Hi, i am so close to having a useable mobian-phone (UBPorts-Edition) and i am totally looking forward to. So thanks a lot for your work! :-)
What gives me a headache is getting mobile network to work.
My carrier is o2-germany and i can register for lte,umts and gsm and calls and sms are working so far.
But as soon as i connect to the internet the modem changes to state "unkown". I need to dis- and enable mobile in order to get the modem to register again.
I got the APN-Setup (apn: internet) of the carriers website. 

I tried phosh, modem-manager-gui and mmcli + nmcli. In pureos the modem fails exactly the same.
I am out of ideas for now so any help is appreciated.

Hi all,

just did a system update on a Rock64 and the new 5.8 Kernel breaks the installation.
After reboot the board has permanently lit the white and red LED and does not boot-up at all.
To narrow down the issue I re-flashed my eMMC-Module as per alarm Wiki and ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-latest.tar.gz includes only linux-aarch64-5.7.1-1 so I run again pacman -Syuu to update and linux-aarch64-5.8.0-1 was installed and after shutdown -r now the board went dead again with permanently lit white and red LED. Pressing the reboot button or pressing and hold the reboot button on the board brings no change, board still ends up with white and red LED permanently lit.

Any ideas on how to fix linux-aarch64-5.8.0-1 so that it works on Rock64 ?

Hello all,

While the UBPorts included in my PinePhone has nice elements, it does have a major flaw: I can't connect to my phone carrier (I get a notice saying "denied"). For a phone OS this is quite a limitation.

It's not a phone problem, because other OSes do connect OK (Postmarket, LuneOS, Mobian and Arch were tried).

By the way just updated it to what seems to be version 4, same problem.

Any clue?

1)  Will a GUI user be able to use a PMOS Community Edition phone ?

2) Will a PMOS Community Edition phone still default to boot from an sd card ?
