I hope it is the right place to place the topic.
I guess it worth to mention I read CRUST thread which is closely related to the topic. But it puts the device to sleep mode.
What I'm interested in is optimizing power drain for the device running under light to moderate load. For instance chatting or listening music.
My findings are:

• brightness scales from 0 to 8 with range 0 - 300 mA;
  
• cpu freq scales from 480 to 1152 KHz with range 300 - 600 mA;
  
• good findings end here
  
• software disable modem/Wifi gives nothing (hw kill switch gives ~120 mA for both);
  
• cpu cores online/offline gives nothing or even negative under load.

Kindly share the link for Pine time mechanical source files.

Hello everyone and good morning from Spain.

 I recently bought the Rock64 board and I would like to install the most recent and updated version of Android (Stock or TV) BUT it includes "root". That once installed, it is already with the "root" applied.

I want to install some applications BUT it is essential that the Android version is "root".

What is the LAST or most RECENT version of Android (Tv or Stock) that includes "root" and that is available for eMMC 16Gb?

Thank you very much and much encouragement, strength and courage

Greetings all,

I was excited to see another Linux-based phone (I preordered the Librem awhile ago), and I'm wondering how many other amateur radio folks are out there - what software do you use for Linux handhelds?

In prepping for using a Linux phone I set up an app similar to RepeaterBook - but with an open source application!

If you are interested in building native Linux apps like this with GTK+Python3, I have a 7 part blog posting series on how I built it here. Including making an app more responsive on smaller screens.

I've searched the forum and the store and have come up empty.

While replacing the keyboard on my PBP, I damaged the internal WiFi/BT antenna. It still sort of works, but I'd like to replace it. There's nothing available in the store and I can't find the anything about the part number that's on the antenna (SLK-NSD-2516E).

I've found replacement internal antennas on a few websites, but they tend to be really long, since they're intended to loop around the screen. The PBP antenna is relatively short (maybe 15 cm/6 in). Anyone know of a source to get a replacement? Or should I just buy a long one and try to find a place to put all the extra cable?

Thanks in advance!

Everytime I visit the pine64 website, I see this picture from some pine64 exhibition...
On this table I can see an old Super Famicom (Super Nintendo Enternainment System) with some sort of cartridge in there.



I'd be very interested what what accomplished there and how pine hardware was used in this project.

Can someone point me to a bit more information on this?

@a-wai, for wi-fi, the mac-address changes at every reboot

I tried to set it to its hardware value by adding at the end of the :

/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

but that doesn't change anything

Hey there,

my PinePhone CE crashed in every system I tested (UBports, Manjaro, Mobian, Sailfish, ...). Sometimes it is running some hours, sometimes it crashes after some minutes. I thought it could be a RAM-problem but I only found memtester as userspace-application which gives no exhaustive result.

Could it be my device has an hardware-issue? How can I test? The phone also gets often really hot. Might also be there is a heatproblem.

I don't know how to go further. I'd really love to use the PP als daily driver but It is not usable this way for me

Any help and hints welcome!

I have Mobian installed, updated, and running. I have pinephone-devtools installed, openssh-server installed and enabled, running.

How do I get Windows 10 to recognize the usb connection as network? I can get tethering mode to work with android phones, so my Windows setup is ready to see it.

Thanks!
