  Just got my Pinephone, some questions
Posted by: rb643 - 06-12-2020, 08:23 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - No Replies

Hey there,

Thanks for this great piece of kit.

Here is what's not working for me: camera, gps, voice message (I can call, but can't hear), cellular data (option is greyed out).


First two is expected, I couldn't find much on the last two?

I've had the issue since getting the phone; I am now on the development branch.

Last question concerning updates; is there a difference between updates through the gui instead of apt-get (through terminal/ssh)? It does seem to be different (I can get further updates through apt-get).

Thanks,


  Pinetab xfce and upgrades
Posted by: cmcanulty - 06-12-2020, 06:48 AM - Forum: General Discussion on PineTab - Replies (2)

I ahve 2 questions about the pinetab before I order it.
1)is it possible to run xfce on it?
2)will it always be upgradable to new operating systems?

The reason I ask is I have a perfectly good DragonTouch 10" tablet but it is perpetually stuck on Android 4.4. I hate the idea of having a decent tablet but it is impossible to keep it upgraded to the newest OS. I also have an old Samsung tablet and an old ipad. They all do the same thing! So stupid to have hardware that works fine but not be able to upgrade and then lots of the new apps aren't available on the older systems. Thank you.

  Pine Key + Backspace/Arrow Keys not registering
Posted by: tslight - 06-12-2020, 06:01 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

Hi there,

I'm having a problem with a new PBP where I cannot do anything with the following key combinations:

Code:
PineKey + Backspace
PineKey + Arrow Keys


There is a thread on Reddit showing that someone else has this issue:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PINE64official/...n_new_pbp/

He tried updating the firmware but to no avail - and like him I was under the impression that he latest batch of PBPs shipped with the latest firmware. 

Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas?

BTW - to see if you are affected use
Code:
xev
Press the combinations above and see if the modified keys are registered.


  Double tap
Posted by: nbxmike - 06-12-2020, 05:44 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (5)

I have a new PineBook Pro, and while very satisfied overall, I find that I cannot get the two finger tap to generate a right click.

Is it possible I have a bad trackpad or is this a common problem for the PBP?  I'd gladly purchase a replacement part if others can confirm that their units reliably generate a right click.

  Clusterboard/Modules shipment arrived in a bag
Posted by: ichibon-brosan - 06-11-2020, 07:21 PM - Forum: Clusterboard - Replies (2)

My new clusterboard and 7 modules arrived today in a DHL bag. Within the bag was a cardboard box that had been crushed out of recognizable shape. Thankfully the clusterboard itself was well wrapped and the 7 computer modules were so small and compact that they avoided damage. I am both amazed that the hardware was undamaged given the poor condition of the enclosing cardboard box. I am posting about this because I would like to encourage the company to make better arrangements when shipping that much value to a customer. On the bright side, I am thrilled to receive the parcel and looking forward very much to powering it up and programming it. I am sorry now I didn't purchase a baseboard as well because brining the modules up headless for the first time will be harder than it would have been if I could have attached peripherals to watch the startup sequence. I ordered an enclosure from a community member as well.  It is a very inspiring piece of technology. My imagination soars just looking at it. Smile


  SIM card not detected
Posted by: AddieDirects - 06-11-2020, 05:53 PM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (5)

Long time listener, first time caller here.........

So I got a SIM for my PP Ub Ports edition. I plopped it into my phone and it still says "SIM not detected" in the Cellular settings menu. Being that this is my first Linux smart phone (though I'm not new to Linux. My daily driver laptop runs Fedora) I'm stumped. I've tried searching the forums, and using the Google machine, but all of the solutions (ex: this topic) did not seem to do anything to get my SIM to recognize.

Things I know....

  • It's a brand new SIM from a prepaid company in the US.
  • As far as I know the SIM does NOT have a PIN on it.
  • They give you SIMs for both AT&T and VZ and BOTH have the same issue....the "Cellular" option shows up on the settings, but when you go in there to get the IMEI to register the SIM, it shows up as "No Sim"
Anyway....................HALP! I'd love to test some of the phone capabilities of the phone. So far I'm fairly impressed for what is essentially development hardware and alpha software. It seems to be WAY better and more polished now than the many year...oh wait...months ago that I played with a Brave Heart phone at a friend's place in the pre-pandemic days of winter.
