I'm sorry if this is already here somewhere and I missed it, but I'm looking for a case for the PinePhone. I know Pine already makes a case, but I'd like something more durable because I'm clumsy, and the shipping would cost more than the case itself.

Is there a case for a different phone that would fit it? Ideally I'm looking for something similar to this

where it has an outer lip that protects the screen should I drop it. I already have a iPhone XS Max screen protector that fits the phone well. I know I'll probably have to cut it to fit the speaker and camera, but that's okay.

Getting started with PineTime...

PineTime doesn't run Linux... But that's OK!

After receiving my new Pinebook Pro with the default Manjaro KDE installation, I've noticed that the screen frequently lags and seems to skip updates. This is even noticeable when typing commands in the terminal and seeing a ~1s delay between pressing some keys and seeing it appear on screen.

After some investigation, it seems the lag spikes correspond with messages like these appearing in the kernel log (dmesg):

Anyone successfully install a 64-bit Ubuntu distro on a Pinebook Pro?
I've got it running on my RockPro 64, but can't find any distribution that works on the PineBook Pro. Has to be 64-bit Ubuntu because I need to run the Swift 5.x development suite on it (which is working fine on my RockPro).

Here's a slightly improved pineaudio program. It's based on one of the older releases that I know to be good.

This is useful if you're trying to run a desktop oriented GUI/distro but need call audio to work, like me.

Generally, you have to run pineaudio twice to get call audio working. Once without a '2', and the second time with a 2.
This version fixes that so you only need to run the '2', and it increases the default volume, as well as offers a way to easily increase volume further.

Add a '+' to double the volume for all enabled components. Previous versions would set the speakerphone to a low volume which was a problem for me and a pain to manually readjust.

So, e.g. ./pineaudio -sm2+ enables call audio speakerphone with a high volume.

It's a tiny fix, but its absence is annoying enough I figured I'd post it here.

Recently I've received the pinebook pro, really happy! Worked great. Then I had in mind to try out Chromium.

I formatted my SD card, and DD'ed the chromium image on it:
https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=...e#Chromium

Turned of my pinebook pro, and tried to boot from the sd card. Yet all I got was a black screen. I've then turned off the device by holding the power key, removed the SD card, yet it seems it's not even booting Manjaro anymore.

I really don't get how booting from the SD could break boot in general. Maybe any of you has a clue? What can I best do next?

Thank you so much in advance!

the auto brightness was going  crazy when i updated yesterday, i had to find it and turn it off.
my thought was if you have this turned on in the devices coming out of the factory, it could create a bad impression,if they start doing this, when first turned on.

just FYI  LUKE

Hi there. I recently flashed kali linux to my emmc module and I'm having some boot issues. I booted from an SD card using debian, deleted all partitions on the emmc, downloaded the kali image and then used 'dd' to flash it to the emmc module. After I shut down, pop out the SD card and then power up, the system boots into Kali just fine from the emmc, as expected. However, if I shut my pinebook off for a day or so and then come back and turn it on, all of a sudden it won't boot. I just get a solid red (amber?) light and blank screen when I power up. I've repeated this process multiple times with the same results. Initially I can boot no problem, but then it won't after being off for a while. It almost seems like there's something wrong with the emmc module....

Any ideas?

I just updated my CE PinePhone to DEV 53 today.

For the first time i was able to make calls both ways  
And even with audio  

SMS works both ways

Screen resolution is back to "good"  as on Stable

My PP does NOT like to dial a number prefixed with my Country prefix ie. +45 xx xx xx xx , i usually prefix all my contacts w. the country prefix.
It says "Please check the number", and call fails.

But it works wo. prefix  

It seems like going to sleep stops GSM calling from working.
A reboot will cure that , until next sleep.




Calling the PP while it has the screen "off" (after sleeping) , seems to turn on the screen "it knows something is happening" , but no ringtone or call indicator.
And the Call goes to voicemail.

The missing icons (Wheel + contact) on the phone (dial) page is bac, so is the phone icon on the red/green button in the bottom

BS + Enter symbols are back on the keybd.


Seems like SMS also fails after "sleep"


I made my first 2way call with audio today  


THANK YOU guyzz ... We're getting there

/Bingo


Edit: Just tried to call the PP again while sleeping - It definately "wakes" Screen turns on and it asks me for my SSID Passwd , I think the pass code screen is in the background.

I have 2 AP's serving the same SSID , and it keeps asking me for the SSID passcode ... Cumbersome (well annoying) 
But not as high prio as Calling etc.
But pls. look into it
