1) One of the pictures I saw of the internals of the PineTab showed a SSD installed,  but I did not see that adapter in the store.
   IS it   or will it be available ?

2) Will it be possible to add a phone/data modem  ? 

3) Can the 64gb eMMC be upgraded to a 128gb,  or perhaps larger ?
 
The speaker placement in the picture,  kinda wish they were forward pointing instead of rear pointing.
   It looks like the sides of the screen bezel would support forward facing speakers.

4)  Does it have a GPS module installed ?

5) When will they offer more of them "For Sale"  ?

Thanks

I just got my PBP two weeks ago. My trackpad is a bit cumbersome.
First and foremost, it seems not to be properly seated. Please see the photo.

I'm not quite sure if it is an assembly problem that I can fix, or if they "just are like that". Any idea?

Next, I have trouble to get a three finger tap to be recognized (middle mouse button), so I have configured Manjaro/KDE to take a right top and left top corner tap as middle button. According to xev (xorg-xev package) no three finger tap ever gets detected. The two finger tap for right mouse button is also not registered half the time.

I don't think that my device was made in 2019, should I do the keyboard firmware update? Or how can I tell if mine is from last year or this one?

Hello friends... I have received my first few batches of Pine hardware, specifically a USA version of the PineBook Pro, the PineTime developer kit, a clusterboard, and 7 modules. I have a PinePhone on order but no information on expected arrival.

I would like to start learning to program the PineTime but all the forum postings I have read so far refer to programming the watch using an Android phone, which I don't happen to own. So I have some easy questions, in no particular order... 

Can I develop firmware for the PineTime using my PineBook Pro? 

Can I do any of this before I receive my PinePhone or am I out of business until then?

Is my iPhone 7Plus of any value in this matrix in the mean time?

I have a j-link mini (edu) and a j-link edu. Can either of these be used to program the PineTime using OpenOCD?

Or do I need to buy something else specifically? If so what?

I am really looking forward to getting started :-)

Thanks, Douglas

Hi,
I'm trying to port OpenMandriva to the PineBook Pro (not that there's anything wrong with the preloaded Manjaro - that one works pretty well too!)

Is there any documentation on the device's boot process?

So far I've gathered:
The most interesting kernel is this one: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/tsys/linux-pinebook-pro
U-boot is probably the generic rk3399 version(?)

I couldn't find anything on what to put where on the SD card for a successful SD boot (other than looking at existing OS images to see where they put stuff), or how to install a new u-boot (and particularly testing it without bricking the device), etc.
Is any such information available?

I just got my PinePhone Ubi edition friday

This is on the "stable" version

I was not expecting "much to work" , but hoped for basic call & sms.
I have installed a Telia Card in the PP , and i can do DATA & SMS but no Call.

If i dial to the pinephone the caller phone (android) says it is busy.
If i dial from the PinePhone it just say call failed.

If i move the Telia simcard to an iPhone 6S calls are working.

So the card isn't "dead" , as Data & SMS are working , just calls doesn't work.

Any hints would be appreciated , even debug tips.

I'm a daily linux user , and ssh etc doesn't scare me  

Edit:
WiFi seems to work ok , especially after a "warm reboot"
I did have to enter the  WiFi password a few times , as if it had trouble saving it , or forgetting it once in a while.
Edit2:
Just noticed someone saying if you have several AP's with the same SSID (i have 2) , then you might be asked for a passwd where it might not make sense.
It could be the phone trying to auth on the other BSSID ..
Maybe one should auth on AP1 , turn it off & auth on AP2. Hopefully the PP will remember auth on both AP's then

Just installed #48 and noticed that the screen resolution for the launcher and the notification bar has increased (i.e. displayed smaller). I love it but some people might find it too tiny.

How do you adjust this?

What happened to the Pineloader that was demoed last month?

I am really keen as it would allow me to follow more that one distro without swapping cards.answer/32040?visit_id=637277193223256304-1677846447&rd=1

As title says I'm wondering where the clicking noise is coming from. I am running Ubports but if I remember correctly, the sound also occurred when I ran tried mobian. Has anyone else noticed that sound? It is pretty quite and can be felt in your hand when you hold the phone. It feels like it is a physical switch or relay being activated.

I have tried everything to get SSH to connect from my client desktop running Ubuntu 20.04 to the pinephone. I generated a key and ssh'd into my desktop from the phone and was able to move the public rsa key to my /.ssh/authorized_keys using the scp command in terminal but i still can't access the pinephone from my desktop client. I have exhausted all options so any help would be appreciated. Thanks

When will Mobian run on the PineTab ?
