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 ?

Forgive me if this is a dumb question :

I would like to flash PMOS to an sd card for a test drive However the downloads say "Installer image"
  (The notes say the installer will automatically adjust the install to my eMMC size.)

Can I flash this to my sd card and run the image from the sd card for a test drive Without installing it to my eMMC  ?

   Thanks

I'm planning to wire the RP64's UART to a DE-9 RS-232 port on an adjacent machine once I have it mounted, for easier access to the console. I'm looking around for appropriate level-shifting adapters, trying to find one that supports the RP64's default baud rate of 1.5M. Does anyone have such a device to recommend?

An alternate option is to slow down the baud rate in U-Boot and Linux, of course, but I'd rather have something that will work regardless of software settings that could change. However, that is an acceptable solution if getting a slower adapter is the easier option.

Thanks in advance!

Very minor request:

Can I get a PinePhone case with no logo on the back?  I have the UBPorts edition, and the logo is awkward.

I guess you can say I have some vanity about my image    My image is preferably without branding.  Just plain.

I love my PineBook Pro with no logo on it.  I would love to have a PinePhone case backing with no logo as well.

Hello Pine community!

I came here to express how disappointed I am with Pine's customer support.

I ordered a RockPro64 on 2020-03-07. Today (2020-08-08), more than 5 months after I placed the order:

- Package has still not been delivered.
- Tracking number has expired.
- Customer support (contacted through sales@pine64.org) is taking longer and longer to respond, sometimes over 3 weeks.
- Customer support is unable to provide tracking of my package.
- After asking many times for refund, I have still not been reimbursed.

I consider this situation to be unacceptable. I do understand CoVid lockdown makes it difficult for everyone to work. But I have been ordering from other Chinese providers, both for myself and for work, and have definitely not experienced such delays.

I even filed a complaint to the French police (DGCCRF, fraud repression) and informed customer support.

What can I do to be finally reimbursed shortly?

Regards,

Sébastien

Hi

I ran update/upgrade on my debian installation on eMMC yesterday which resulted in the system not booting anymore.
I have a backup image file of the eMMC which I did with gnome-disks but after booting a system from USB and trying to restore the image to eMMC the process is stuck on 0.0%. First I thought it might be calculating something, so I left the computer on all night, but when I woke up it was still at 0.0%. Is there perhaps some other way to restore the image to eMMC ? I don't have the USB->eMMC adapter unfortunately, otherwise I would have tried it to. Installing LUKS debian was a bit of a hassle, so inputs are appreciated if I can get it up and running again without having to go through the whole installation again.

Working:

- Calls
- SMS
- Mobile Data
- GPS
- Camera
- DeepSleep

On my pinephone since yesterday. Runs stable and fast

Testing it now for a daily usage

I have PinePhone CE (no CC fix version).
I installed factory test image and discovered, that only strong and weak red light works.
I tried this guide: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE6...e)#RGB_Led
Directory structure was different. Only red was working.
Is this hardware issue or software issue?

i love the RockPro64 so much, its one of the best things ive ever used.

everything pine makes is amazing.

what i did with my rockpro64 was create a San for sopinecluster thats running kubernetes.

i got 30 HDD bays hooked up to it for storage providing NFS to my cluster. currently i only have 50TB of usable storage on it. i love how fast and energy efficient having this set up is, at full tilt im pulling 80w from the wall, which is much better than the 400W im pulling from the old primary san.

i have software running OMV with openISCSI going as well. 

heres all the HDD's i got so far:
sda            8:0    1 931.5G  0 disk 
sdb            8:16  1 931.5G  0 disk 
sdc            8:32  1  7.3T  0 disk 
sdd            8:48  1  7.3T  0 disk 
sde            8:64  1  7.3T  0 disk 
sdf            8:80  1  7.3T  0 disk 
sdg            8:96  1  7.3T  0 disk 
sdh            8:112  1  7.3T  0 disk 
sdi            8:128  1  7.3T  0 disk 
sdj            8:144  1  7.3T  0 disk 
sdk            8:160  1 223.6G  0 disk 
sdl            8:176  1  2.7T  0 disk 

i would highly recommend creating your own san out of the pine pro, the only issue is theres no 10gb Nic, but ill probly be adding on here shortly to make it EVEN better. 

happy prototyping!
