I managed to get the Archlinux image to boot both from the USB and microSD but no dice with any of the Manjaro images I tried so far.
I tried with an older 32GB microSD and a very recently purchased 64GB microSD (the same one that works with the Archlinux image) still nothing.
My goal is to do a fresh install (preferably the XFCE variant of Manjaro) on an NVMe SSD, I recently installed the NVMe adapter and an NVMe SSD, once booted in Archlinux I can see the nvme0n1 device.
I updated the SPI flash with the latest version provided by pcm720 that changes the boot order and allows to boot directly from an NVMe SSD.
I physically removed the eMMC from PBP as I don't intend to use it (assuming I can actually get it to boot directly from the NVMe SSD).

Is the reason why Manjaro won't boot from MicroSD because I removed the eMMC module?

Thanks.

Got the latest dev build 113 from updates. Attempted to enable gps after that but missed one line in the terminal. Restarted phone. Ever since then it randomly starts vibrating unstoppably and hangs the phone. Have no choice but to force shut down when this happens.

Seems like something that should be patcjed ASAP by ubports team

I preordered the new PinePhone as soon as I heard about it. Fast forward a couple weeks, and I find out about cases and screen protectors. Is it possible to add these to my order to reduce shipping costs and carbon footprints alike?

Hi, I just wanted to confirm that the NVMe adapter must be a separate order, as the Cart seems to have no problem accepting it in the same order as the Pinebook Pro.

When i got my phone out of the box, calls and texting were working perfectly. Had an issue where i soft-bricked the phone on day 1; one of those hrowing pains. Flashed the latest version of UB touch (build 70 from the current repo) and recovered the phone, all else is good. Now the calling is very intermittent though. Ive successfully made and received one call each way, but most of the time calls fail. Considering the norm prior was stable and now its intermittent there must have been something done right before. Also noticing this is a very frequent problem. Ive seen several potential solutions but im not sure which is current. One comes with a warning its no longer current, the other seems to be a way to call through the terminal. 

Hoping somebody could point me to the best known current solution. Modem shows signal and detects my network. As mentioned 1 successful outgoing and 1 incoming have been made since the new OS flash. Just fails 99% of the time. Successful calls were 100% prior to reflashing...


_________________
Update! 2 more successful calls but only after 2nd restart. Not sure if ill always need to restart phone for this to work.

Update 2.... So it appears the 2 additional successful calls, making it 4 since the update were flukes, and its completely intermittent. Sometimes i randomly succeed, but mostly i dont.

Hello

I know that the PinePhone doesn't have the hability to receive FM radio natively.
I am wondering if this is something that could be done using the pogo pins.

What I have in mind is something like a case with dedicated hardware to decode and then send the signal to the phone via I2C.

Note that I have no experience in hardware thinkering. This is just a thought.

Hi All: We have a new way to build JF's FreeRTOS firmware in the Cloud, using GitHub Actions.

(FYI this is the firmware that will be loaded to the next batch of PineTime, assuming that the factory testing goes OK)

I noticed that newcomers to PineTime often run into problems building PineTime firmware. So I hope this will make it easier to get started with PineTime programming.

Please try this out, lemme know if it works for you. Thanks!

Build PineTime Firmware in the Cloud with GitHub Actions

the LED is slowly blinking blue now...is there a color code scheme posted somewhere? like, what each color / flashing speed means? I'm guessing that it has something to do with sleep mode?

So originally it wasn't booting because I had a low battery charge, too low for Crust to boot. Now I charged it, and it bootloops.

This is what happens:
I flash it with either bmaptool or gnome image writer. Then I boot it, the rainbow LED goes and then there's the pine logo. Then there are 2 possible cases: there's a Ubuntu Touch logo that splashes for a few seconds and the screen goes black, or the same logo freezes forever. Then it reboots.

I tried everything, I tried making a bigger swap file, thinking that there wasn't enough. Changed partitioning table from MBR to GUID. Tried different builds from different channels and weeks.

 I really don't know what to do, Mobian isn't stable enough for me... I need a basic phone with internet access and being able to hotspot, anbox compatibility would be appreciated; I am in vacation and my old Nexus gave up on me and I only have this pinephone.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, im going to buy the new posmarket os edition of the pinephone and i want to know about the actual state of anbox running applications like whatsapp (i really dont want to use it, but for work groups and study groups i need to do it.) or other social media android apps.
