I want to give my Pinebook 11.6" to a family member and not sure how to reset it completely so they can enter in their own user values (name/password/etc). I have not done anything to the Pinebook beside set it up initially and create my user name and password. No systems have been uploaded. Any help is greatly appreciated. Ideally I would just like to "Reset" it so they can turn it on and start from scratch.
I know the original firmware is closed source, it would be cool however if we could have a binary for the included firmware, so we can safely recover to some working firmware if everything else fails. I don't know if the original author would be willing to provide such a thing though.
I'm able to receive SMS texts, and I can both send and receive phone calls, but I haven't been able to get SMS sending to work. I'm using the correct +1123-4567 number format. I've tried both chatty and modem-manager-gui, but the issue seems to lie somewhere between modem-manager and the actual modem.
Steps to reproduce and debug:
1. Send SMS via chatty
2. Run mmcli -m 0 --messaging-list-sms
4. Explicitly tell mmcli to send the message, by running mmcli -v -m 0 -s 5 --send

I just finished a 3D model of the PinePhone done in blender you can use freely for your projects, for example for renderings.
Mind that the whole back side should be accurate as the CAD files released by Pine64 were used. However the front side is not perfectly accurate, angles of the screen and the screen glass were estimated so use with caution when using the file to create equipment such as cases or similar (you have been warned!).
There are two glass parts, one is the LCD on the front and one is the protection plate of the camera on the backside. These parts do actually have a glass shader and objects behind them.
please help me. I can't upload files from my PBP (Chromium browser) to some websites (like Discord, Mega, Microsoft Teams). I have this issue for a long time and now I decided post this post. Sometimes this (picture OneDrive) shows up. Thanks for any ideas.
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 9.9 (stretch) aarch64
Model: Pine64 Pinebook Pro
Kernel: 4.4.213
Browser: Chromium Version 72.0.3626.121 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on Debian 9.9 (32-bit)
Update: Maybe is just problem with Chromium, because Firefox works. But How can I update Chromium on my PBP? Please help.
The one problem I am getting is when going into settings> bluetooth and toggle it off, it seems to toggle back on,
I can use terminal and service bluetooth stop and it works,
Tried running systemctl to stop it at boot, but the filesystem is slightly diffrent from desktop.
Is this a known bug or Am I missing something. I hope in future versions it is possible to add Bluetooth to it's own killswitch on the phone.
But for now, I have to use terminal to stop bluetooth as the system settings seems to toggle it back on.
I would like to turn bluetooth serivice off at boot as I don't use it / want / or need it. and the toggle doesn't seem to want to toggle off.
TLDR; is there anyway to turn bluetooth off at boot with the pinephone n ubports.
thanks.
"Unlike other Linux distributions for the PinePhone, which are focussed primarily on
the path of the classic smartphone desktop, AVMultiPhone consciously
takes the path to unite the classic desktop with the smartphone functionality on an
equal footing. [...] The connection to desktop screens is done via WLAN and/or USB.
GIMP, LibreOffice, Kodi, Inkscape and around 20,000 other Linux programs
are available on the smartphone."
My PBP arrived home past june 22. I've been working with it for some days.
Trying to solve the usual problem of not activating the screen when turning on Pinebook Pro with Manjaro, using the mkfixit_update.sh method, the laptop has finished without turning on at all. No light comes on when I press the power key.
I have tried to solve this problem using the methods explained in several of the threads of this forum, but I have not been successful.
Can someone help me? Thank you very much in advance
