Hey there!

I've searched the forum profoundly and I apologise if I have missed any solution that's already out there.

I've used Etcher to flash operating systems to my SD card, and they do boot from my brand-new Pinebook Pro that's running a fairly untouched Manjaro OS.

I have my SD card inserted properly in my Pinebook Pro and it boots from the SD about 30% of the time. The behaviour is the same for after a complete shutdown and a restart. I've tried two different OSs so far, with the same result.

When I cold start the computer I've tried to hold the power button down just slightly until the power light comes on and then release it, to holding the power button down for a longer period of time. It doesn't matter which I try.

I've spotted this forum post that mentions upgrading/replacing uboot, but I'm far too much of a noob to understand whether that would work in my case or how to perform it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

Is there any mail app for PM-OS (phosh) available or ist there any other desktop more usable than phosh?

Hello,

If I start Dekko Mail it claims that there is no mail account configured YET and leads me to a dialog "Add now"

But I can click on this and there is no further action. I can rotate the screen and press with my finger whereever I want. No reaction further.

Dekko mail seems unusable ATM?

TIA

Hi.

I'm sorry if this has been answered, but I couldn't find any threads relating to this.

I have the UB Ports edition with the pre-installed UT os.  It boots fine and starts as it should.

But, when I hold the volume up and power button together, it launches into an "Installing update" screen and just hangs.  I have left it like that for 24hrs...

I have tried to boot it with Mobian flashed onto an sd card, but Mobian will not boot.  Although I have seen that issue in other threads.

It also won't update from the repo.  I just get an error message saying the repo is read only?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Dan

According to the tracking information,  my PinePhone just arrived in my town and I am expecting delivery today.

This is a big deal for me as I am a firmware developer, but I have never been able to work on phone firmware.

It has been about two and a half months since I ordered the phone and it has been hard to be patient.

I will be working with the PinePhone in conjunction with my PineBookPro and my Pine64so ClusterBoard (7).

I am having a lot of fun with this hardware.

Be safe people. :-)

Hello all,

  As with many laptops, phones and tablets, in order to effectively repair such devices these days we need both schematics *and* boardviews to be able to guide the repairing hand to the right parts on the board.

  Understandably PINE (company) would not want to release their full boardviews ( not asking that ) but it would be fantastic to have boardviews that provide at least;

   Pins [part, location (x,y,side), and netname], and an outline of the board.   That's the bare minimum information that'd be needed and a boardview that is functional for repairers can be generated ( don't even need pad or part outlines, though those are nice visually ), testpads if applicable are good to have too.

  Some of you already know of me from Louis Rossmann,  OpenBoardview, and of course FlexBV.

  It would be fabulous to have a set of boardviews to go along with the schematics that have already been provided by PINE.

Regards,
Paul.

I have written a couple of simple scripts that can switch the speakers and headphones and thought I share it. Pretty straightforward though, but maybe it can be updated to be written in one script and can detect whether the auxiliary port is connected to an auxiliary cable or not.

Hi,

What do you guys think about including HRV sensor and Oxygen sensor inside the device? From what I know hrv sensor itself could replace current pulse meter because it can do more operations out of the box.

The connector for my headphones went bad. Can't find one to fit in the case. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Hello,
I have a short quick start guide I'd rally want translated today, and would really appreciate your help.

Thank you!
