Hello everyone.

I'm currently trying to have sound coming out, but whether it's one of the youtube app from the store, the morph browser or even the alarm clock, there is absolutely no sound coming out. 
And i'm sure it isn't a problem from the loudspeaker, it makes a faint ultrasound noise at startup.

Is there something to activate ? Or any way to troubleshoot the problem ?

Hi Everyone,
Since yesterday I am a proud owner of the PP Ubuntu CE. I must say I was surprised at the snappyness of the UI. Of course there was the occasional hiccups, like applications crashing or not working (Dekko 2), but I am fully aware that the Software side is very much WIP.

My biggest issue I have so far is that my Carrier signal seems to be VERY unstable. I get a connection to the network, but loose it after a few seconds. I managed to send some SMS, so in theory everything seems to work, however as the connection is down for at least some minutes or until toggle "flightmode" the phone is pretty much unusable as a phone (SMS, Calling - havent gotten to place a call in those few seconds). Is anyone else having issues with this or has any pointers as to how to debug this?

OS build number: 2020-06-09 (build #44)
Carrier: AldiTalk
Country: Germany

Edit: I just tried a different carrier/sim. Network seems pretty stable now. I got calls and text messages working afaik. So might be carrier related?

I received my pinephone today (yay!), everything was working fine, so I decided to try and place my sim in. Unfortunately, the opening to let the nano sim card fit in the micro sim card adapter is too small. Is there any solution to this that someone has figured out? I'd prefer not to shell out money for a sim card adapter kit if I don't have to.

Hi the store is out of stock and I heard people are just starting to receive their pinephones. I'm buying if anyone doesn't want theirs.

Hi guys just got my new PineBook pro and some how i installed the wrong language, i managed to get some of the local settings in English but others still show up in the other one. I am new to manjaro and pine book. my question is can I change the default language settings for the whole system from the terminal? if so do i need to install a package first ? All my experince with linux is with ubuntu. Next question is there a way to factory reset the systen or would i be looking at a fresh install? any help would be great

Hi all,

I'm new to this forum - received my phinephone community ed. today and started playing around.
I previously collected experience using the BQ Aquaris M10 running Ubuntu Touch.

I tried to get wifi up and running on my pinephone but I failed.
I see several networks besides my own network. ifconfig and iwconfig shows the wlan0 device (unassociated) and I got prompted for the passphrase (so I think HW is okay, kernel modules are loaded). However after pressing connect nothing happened.
All prerequisites mentioned in the general FAQ thread in this forum are fulfilled. I also rebooted and entered the passphrase again. No effect. I very carefully checked my input to avoid typos while entering the passphrase.
 
Ubuntu Touch is the FACTORY version. 
My AC runs 11b/g/n - using Channel 12 (Germany) WPA2, PSK, AES

Does anyone else encounter the same problem? Maybe it's an auth problem? Does it make sense to edit config files manually to force connecting?


Thanks a million for your advice/hints!

I discovered I have a Wifi Remote I2c (PMWF01A) fresh in a box, and I can't figure out what it should be used for.
Is it a remote device for sensing, or a remote WiFi expander, or ??
What would one use it for?

The measurements are standard, right? So would any PC case work?

Hi all,

my Pinephone UBPorts Ed. has arrived today.
I tried to check the camera with the app built-in, but the screen stays black!
Maybe it is a stupid question, but: Is there a hint to activate it?
The hardware switches in the inside of the phone are all in the state of delivery, I have not changed anything.

Regards
Udo

Actually very rarely. I have to reboot several times (5-7 times) with a hard reboot by depressing the power switch for 10 seconds or so, before it will attempt to boot once. The screen remains off (I can tell when the backlighting is on or off), in those cases when it does not boot. Both Manjaro and Debian boot fine from the microSD card. I did reflash the emmc with the 20.04 version of Marjaro from the OSDN.net site, but the problem persists. My PBP is from the latest (May 2020) batch, with the Manjaro pre-install, which I have since reflashed. It behaved the same both with the preinstalled distro and after reflashing the emmc.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
