  Just-a-Thought :

An extra slot for a second SD card could sure come in handy !
  ( may be space to just tack another slot on top of the existing socket)  ?

Many of us like to run our Pine phones or our Pinebook Pros operating systems from the SD card.

But being able to take files easily from one O.S. to another is a bit of a problem.

Wonder if that could be a possibility on some next gen Pine Products ?
   (it may not be feasible, .. but I think it is a fair question to at least ask)

That could "One-Up" many of the more expensive products.

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the Quectel EG25-G modem is able to receive the new WEA or older CMAS alerts for tornados, amber alert, etc.?

Thanks,
Chris

I've had this issue on several versions of ubports (reflashed) and it's still there on the latest stable branch (v3). This may very well be a hardware problem, but i've yet to have any issues with mobian.

Video of the issue: 

It happens often (+-5min)
Can this be related to a high dram clock speed or would that have effected more than an isolated app? #noob

Hi, I found this manufacturer from a Google search/Reddit recommendation and blindly placed an order for a Pinebook Pro. However now that I'm reading the forums it almost sounds like I shouldn't have been able to (unless I got someone's cancelled order/they are actually in stock) or did I accidentally enter a new pre-order queue? The store page only mentions "estimated dispatch in June" - is that accurate?

Thank you, looking forward to being part of the community.

I'm running the unofficial debian build (link here) on my Pinebook Pro. Mine is a bit different though since I've switched to sid rather than Debian testing.

I've been having some troubles with getting audio to switch over to _exclusively_ play through headphones when they are plugged in. For whatever reason they seem to play back through the speakers AND headphones.

This kind of defeats the purpose of putting headphones in, and I'm at a bit of an impasse. I've tried using alsamixer, but no matter what I change there is no entry for the audio jack at all, and it seems as though there is some config that is broken.

Any tips for resetting the audio config on my install? I am hoping to avoid reinstalling the system at all costs since it's a bit of a hassle.

hello everyone,

the issue is, that the PBP is not booting anymore.

In January I replaced the default Debian with Manjaro  on emmc. Everything worked fine in XFCE version. The KDE version regulary crashed the desktop and reloaded desktop. In March, when I got back to the device (was away for two months), i run several updates which were suggested by the system. After reboot Manjaro (red power led) did not boot anymore. Also any SD-Images is not booting anymore. As I remember there was never a questions by Manjaro to prefer boot from emmc.

I tried all 3 Manjaro 20.06 iso (XFCE, KDE, i3) also I tried emmc on or off. The result is the same (so I think it does not try to boot from emmc).
 
The results were following:
Images of Manjaro started booting but after showing Manjaro sign it switches to Terminal and show that there is a problem with journal and it tries to remount read-only.
When I shutdown and restart it stucks at red button and never get green.

Images of other Distributions (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Suse,...) do not boot at all. The red light is not evening showing anything - like no sd-card in inserted.

I tried 3 different sd cards and also 3 different devices to create images (one notebook with cardreader and two PC with external card reader). When I reinsert the sdcards after failing to boot from Pinebook, the sdcards are not recognized and valid stick and I had to reset them with SD-Formatter in Windows (gparted did not work with the sdcards after they were in the PBP). Booting from USB Stick is not happend (does not even show red light). I spend some weekends when I had time to ticker around with it.

I think the sd-card-slot is broken, but I am not sure. I am really, really frustrated right now

Before I throw the PBP into trash, I look for new ideas (and I do not intend to buy an emmc-adapter as long as I do not know, if nothing else is broken - hard enough the nvme adapter was wasted money (like the PBP itselft) at the moment).

Love my UBports PinePhone, but it just needs two things to make it a daily driver for me:

1. Reliable data connection
2. better call volume

#1 is strange. It seems that it randomly forgets that it's connected to a cellular data network, or a wifi, or both. The icons remain unchanged, but apps proceed to tell me that there's no network available. Sometimes - though not always - a reboot will fix it. Sometimes - though not always - it figures it out on its own. It feels to me to be entirely random.

#2 seems pretty straightforward. Call volume is too weak to hear clearly. I've tried an app called uVolMan from the app store, it doesn't seem to make a difference. Any suggestions?

Would I be any better off by switching to the release candidate channel? I realize that breakage may ensue.

I'm not a dev or programmer. I'm basically a marginally intelligent idiot with Ubuntu, which I've been using for over a decade. I'd love any suggestions anyone might have. Thanks.

Is it possible to change the boot image? if so where is it stored?

I tried pine64 terminal, and the username is phablet.
Levono actually released phab cellphones: https://www.lenovo.com/hk/en/virtual-rea...hab-series. So, what is the relationship between pine64 and Lenovo phablet?
