hi!

After 4 years of use, the battery of my PineBook Pro is really swollen, I should change it soon~ish.

Currently, it seems out of stock on the official store, and the European store doesn't even sell spare batteries.

So: has anyone had success procuring batteries elsewhere?

Hi everyone,

I remember once upon a time it was mentioned that there would be a battery case for the Pinephone /Pinephone pro; seeing the current state of things, I would say that the project has been scraped. Any chance to know why? I don't think it would be expensive to manufacture such a thing for Pine64, and seeing the issues with the battery life of the PPP it would be highly appreciated (if it doesn't add a crazy thickness to the phone, of course).

Cheers

Manjaro: Settings doesn't open it just stays at the splash screen.

Is there a way to rearrange your desktop?  Add folders?

Is there a way to set suspend on ram, like what purism did to the L5? It seems to improve battery life a lot.

Hi,

got my Pinebook Pro few days ago, so complete newbie with Arm64 & Co (including ArchLinux/Manjaro, I'm more of a Fedora user normally).

Anyway, connection over Wifi to my network works (ping etc), but anything slightly heavy (loading a webpage in Firefox or calling pacman to refresh the cache or install a package) leads after a very little while (less than a minute for sure) to a complete breakdown of the whole network, not only for the PBP, but also for any other device, even connected to the LAN or another Wifi.

I had "Enabled Smart Connect - Let the router intelligently select the best 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi band for your WiFi connections. Smart Connect requires that the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi networks use the same WiFi network name (SSID), security options, and password." Having read about issues with the 2.4GHz band at https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebo...h_and_WiFi I've switched off this option and give a specific name to the 5GHz network, and started only using this one. BUT this didn't make any difference and I'm a bit at the end of my ideas what I can do.

Perhaps important, the Wifi router is a Nighthawk® X4S R7800 running in AP Mode against another router (TP-Link TL-WDR4300 v1 with OpenWrt 22.03.3 r20028-43d71ad93e / LuCI openwrt-22.03 branch git-22.361.69894-438c598), which is used since years without any issue.

Thanks, Eric

new pinephone regular model with nano-sim slot.

this is a small proposal, but i think it is not a huge change anyway. micro-sim slots starting to be an unnecessary inconvenience.

alternately, newer phones could be nano-sim only.

Hello, is there a way to install arch with FDE?

To this aim I have two alarms set up on my PPP. The first one wake up my PPP from the poweroff to the standby mode. This first alarm does not activate the alarm clock on PPP but wake up PPP from poweroff mode. The second alarm set up 5 minutes after the first turn the proper alarm on PPP.
Thanks to such a solution, my PPP is turned off by nights saving battery, and simultaneously, it turns on on time morning when I am waking up  

I use PPP as a daily phone (phosh on postmarket OS).

Hello, I've been looking at the PineTime schematics, and I don't see any documentation on what is connected to the other ends of the various connectors on the main board. Is there some additional documentation about those components? For example, I'm curious on what is attached to the KEY connector - I can't quite tell from the main board schematic what exactly would go on the other end.
