I do absolutely love what the PinePhone is. But if I had some feedback to improve for when the next hardware edition comes around, it would be, for the PinePhone to come equipped with just a slightly better, more clear speaker, and/or microphone.

I think it is even worth it to have such an improvement in the hardware, if it were to raise the price of the whole phone by some $10, maybe $20 if need be. Because even if the PinePine were to increase in price slightly to say $159, it would still have that psychological effect of a cheap phone very much going for it, but if that could decrease the buzzing that I now constantly get in the background (and the people I call with hear it too rather loudly, no matter which OS am using) uring phone calls, personally I do think it would make the final product that much more usable, and thus appealing.

What do others think about this?

According to the specification the PineTab shall have a System Memory of 2GB LPDDR3 SDRAM.

with the keyboard option I am particularly interested in the Convergence offered by UBports OS.

Will it be with the UBports OS to open Libreoffice, etc.?
The software should run with 256 MB RAM (512 MB RAM recommended).

Will there be an option for memory expansion?

What desktop software is reported to run well on PineTab?

Hi. I was trying to install Arch Linux ARM on the onboard eMMC from a SD card.
When i came to the part of installing u-boot to the eMMC i used the command:

I have booted up my PBP using the supplied Manjaro and set a username and password, but not changed anything else. I hit barriers over lack of wifi and tiny text which are both covered in the Wiki.  The PBP was put on charge but it will no longer start.  All that happens when I push the power button is that the power LED briefly flashes green.  It did restart once but then died immediately after I had logged in.

Where do I go from here?

Hi all,

I am the user of Pinebook (the first generation, 14'', with upgraded emmc to 64g), it is good for light usage and it had been my k3s cluster with my rpi4

The Pinebook is not good enough to light-median usage, like run chrome/firefox to bworse web, use telegram to send/receive messages.

Once I found out the new Pinebook Pro and it can be upgraded by nvme adapter, and read the forum's post can boot from nvme by flash u-boot images, and I think it will be more powerful than older Pinebook.

But I still want to ask some questions for my usage and is it fits to me (although the ansi keyboard version is out of stock now), thanks.

1. use wine to launch NAVER LINE app
2. use Telegram
3. use chrome/edge
4. use visual studio code
5. use anydesk, vnc, rdp client
6. use microsoft teams

Hello, I am interested in the Pinebook Pro. I see the Pinebook and Pinebook Pro both have the "Mali T860 MP4 GPU". I am not familiar with this GPU.

My question is: Do the Pinebooks support Vulkan, and do they support compute shaders? Does the "Manjaro Linux" it ships with include drivers which already support these two things? Thanks

Hello,

Just got my pinebook pro in the mail and have been loving it so far, but it appears that I'm unable to connect to any 5GHZ WiFi networks.

This is very disappointing for me given how slow the 2.4GHZ band is due to congestion in my area.

Was wondering if anyone else had encountered this or had tips for troubleshooting

Has this been done?

Someone else mentioned the ANX7688.  If that's the USB chip then this page: https://www.analogix.com/en/products/con...es/anx7688  says it's "Simultaneous USB 3.1 Gen1 (5.0Gbps) and DisplayPort Alternate Mode".

I'm after what they did with the PI ( https://hackaday.com/2020/05/25/boot-your-pi-over-usb/ ) to put the boot loader on emmc, use the rest of the emmc for data, and have a 5Gbs USB 3.1 to SD reader with a really fast SD card and multiboot all of the possible OS's from one SD card which also holds a nice swap file that again is much faster than the built in SD.

Opinions?
