Just curious if there is any place with statistics on PinePhone. What % are sold by country?

I was messing with my boot partition on my PBP KDE Edition. Now, it doesnt boot to the OS.

During power-on, the light is orange and the system hangs there. Screen remains black. Power indicator remains orange.

I have not made any changes to uboot or other system properties.

I created a bootable SD card, but it still does not boot; same issue as above (light orange, screen black).

The Wiki mentions that the KDE edition has "uboot on the eMMC. Its boot order is: SD, USB, then eMMC."

Does this mean that I can not boot from SD or USB while my boot partition on eMMC is broken?

Any recommendations how to proceed?
My only thought is to buy a USB to eMMC adapter and restore my backup onto the boot partition. Let me know if there is another way.

Hi,

the ejection mechanism of the microSD slot in my rock64 that I got yesterday seems to be broken - each time I insert the card, it comes right back. I don't know how this mechanism works, but is there a way to fix that apart from soldering in a new slot? Seems a bit odd to send it back just because of such an issue.

Has anyone had this problem already? If yes, how did you fix it?

I've tried various methods, but I can't seem to get access to the internet from machines I connect to my phone's hotspot. I'm using NetworkManager's create new wifi network feature, though I've tried doing it manually too.

Just seems to refuse to talk to the modem's 4G connection.

I can get it working by using a SOCKS proxy (e.g. ssh -D root@myphonedefaultgw), but that is very limited and has a lot of issues.

I checked with my carrier (Consumer Cellular) and they have hotspot enabled on their end for my account so I doubt it's being filtered or something.

Anyone else have this issue and/or manage to figure it out? Actually posting via my semi-broken SOCKS workaround now.

Hey all! Took me forever to realize this but apparently UB ports has its own forum with a pinephone section. It seems thats where devs are more active and likely to pick up on bugs feedback and ideas. Our forum here seems more user based. I like the format here more and hope the ubports team can really tune in, but i would recommend people also post there for the highest likelihood of seeing fixes and improvements. Maybe if both forums could be merged through some api so posts in one are visible in the other, that would be fantastic!.

There is a project that lets you turn a Pi into an IP KVM for a very reasonable cost:
https://github.com/pikvm/pikvm

It currently requires getting an additional accessory for DVI input.

It would be nice if there was some version of the Pine64 that has a built in HDMI input port and supports OTG.

My thoughts on why Phosh is important:

Feedback is welcome.

Hi there,

New Pinebook Pro user here; very excited to use this as my productivity laptop.

I am having problems in setting up software to math my workflow. Emacs is one important program for me; I have installed it from the repositories. However, launching emacs is giving me troubles. First, it refused to launch, I made a workaround by adjusting the gtk theme. However, emacs is refusing to display icons in its toolbar.

I was wondering if there is any way to display icons and make emacs work normally? If so, any help would be appreciated.

I tried to activate a new un-activated AT&T PrePaid sim card in my Brave Heart phone with Mobian running on it without succeeding.
 The phone does see the new AT&T sim,  but it will not dial out to the 611 number to activate.

The B.H. phone does function with a sim card I removed from my Android phone.
 But,
         The Android sim card does have a problem with data,
> an AT&T tech had previously suggested replacing that sim card when I called AT&T to fix the Android phone.

So I was hoping I could just activate a new sim card in my BH Pine phone directly.

Apparently Android has an app that makes it possible to activate the sim card.?

Is there an app I can put on Debian to activate a new sim card, or should I activate the card in the old Android phone, then move it to my Pine phone..?

Thanks,  B.C.

The new MCUBoot Bootloader (that we're loading into new PineTimes) shows a Boot Logo that's stored in External SPI Flash upon startup.

To change the Boot Logo, just prepare a 240x240 PNG file in 24-bit colour (or use a sample logo from the link below), and follow these steps...

PineTime Logo Loader

This calls GitHub Actions to create a custom firmware image (Mynewt) that writes the Boot Logo into External SPI Flash. The Boot Logo format (RGB565) is explained here...
