| Audio jack and external mic? |

Will the headset jack on the PBP work with combined mic/headsets? The wiki seems to say it should, but so far it doesn't for me. Using Manjaro, have tried two different headsets which work on other machines. Headset function works, but mic does not. The mic privacy switch is set to enabled, and the built-in mics are working (with the reported whine, of course). USB mic also works.

| Image build guide? |

As my PinePhone should arrive in a few days I thought now would be a good time to compile my own UBPorts image.
However, I couldn't find any working build guide for compiling your own images. I mainly want to experiment with kernels so I'm not sure I'd need to compile everything, but having a general idea on the build process should help in case I'd need it.
I've tried following https://gitlab.com/ubports/core/rootfs-builder-debos but that didn't get me very far. All I get is this:
Code: $ debos -m 5G pinephone.yaml
Running /debos --artifactdir /media/djhg/Nibbler/PinePhone/rootfs-builder-debos /media/djhg/Nibbler/PinePhone/rootfs-builder-debos/pinephone.yaml --internal-image /dev/disk/by-id/virtio-fakedisk-0
2020/06/08 17:20:45 ==== Pine64 common ====
2020/06/08 17:20:45 ==== Setup core rootfs ====
2020/06/08 17:20:45 ==== Download latest ubuntu touch rootfs from CI ====
2020/06/08 17:20:45 Download started: 'https://ci.ubports.com/job/xenial-mainline-edge-pine-rootfs-arm64/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/out/ubuntu-touch-xenial-edge-pine-arm64-rootfs.tar.gz' -> '/scratch/ut-rootfs.tar.gz'
2020/06/08 17:21:59 Action `Pine64 common` failed at stage Run, error: stream error: stream ID 1; INTERNAL_ERROR
Powering off.
$
I've tried various parameters to get more information about what exactly fails without any luck. More memory didn't help either nor did a few web searches for that error. If I use the "--show-boot" option I can see the virtual machine booting and using debos-docker makes no difference, so I don't think it's a dependency issue. I'm on Debian Sid.
Is that guide up to date or is there a newer method for building images?

Is there a way to change the language.
During the setup process, I must have picked the wrong language (ES)
When in fact I need (EN)
I change the in manjaro configuration - regional configuration
But all the menus are still in spanish
Any suggestions

PinePhone w/ Ubuntu Touch Frequent Problems |

I'm using this post to collect the issues I commonly see noted with Ubuntu Touch on the PinePhone, as people receive theirs. Expect many edits as we find better ways to solve problems.
If the steps in this thread do not solve your issue, please create a new thread here on the Pine64 forums, note what the problem looks like, then say that you've tried these steps already.
I did not install an update and I'm stuck on the Pine64 logo after rebooting.
- Use a USB A-C cable to plug your phone into your PC
- Hold the PinePhone's power button for 4 seconds or more to power it off.
- Wait 5 seconds
- Hold the Volume Up and Power buttons on the PinePhone to boot into recovery. You should see the LED light red, then yellow, then green. The "Installing update" screen will appear, but a progress bar to indicate update progress will not. Ignore the "Installing update" part.

- Your PC may automatically mount the PinePhone's partitions. If it does, Safely Remove or Eject all of them.
- Open a terminal on your PC. Type
telnet 172.16.42.1
- You should receive the text 'Welcome to Rescue SD Shell!'
- In the new Rescue SD shell, type
umount /dev/mmcblk2p10; e2fsck -fy /dev/mmcblk2p10 && sync
- Once this command pipeline finishes, type
sync && reboot -f
Your PinePhone should reboot into Ubuntu Touch. Now head to Settings -> Updates and install the new update! 
If these steps did not solve your issue, please create a new thread here on the Pine64 forums, note what the problem looks like, then say that you've tried these steps already.
This is caused by corruption on the userdata partition. Normally this should be fixed by 'e2fsck' in the initramfs, however an error in image creation means that that version of e2fsck is unable to correct corruption. This has been fixed in all new PinePhone updates, so if you update from the factory image to any other image available to the PinePhone now, you will not experience this issue any longer.
I turned on my PinePhone. The red LED is lit and it will not boot.
- Hold the power button until the light turns off
- Hold the power button until the light turns on
You may need to repeat these steps more than once.
This is caused by u-boot apparently trying to use the eMMC before it is ready. We are not entirely sure why this occurs yet.
I can't connect to a 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi network.
Reboot your device by holding the power button until the "Power" dialog appears, then pressing "Restart".
If that does not fix the issue, note that all the following conditions must be met to use WiFi on the PinePhone:
- The plastic tab between the battery and the device's battery contacts has been removed
- The battery is installed
- The WiFi killswitch, #2, on the rear of the device is switched "ON"
Wi-Fi in the PinePhone only seems stable after a warm reboot like this.

| Pinephone UBport Edition no OS preinstalled |

Hi, I just received the Ubuntu Edition pinophone, I removed the film on the battery and turned it on.
The phone is in "boot loop" showing the pinecone for a few seconds, then a black screen with the LEDs changing from red to white to blue and then the pinecone. Endlessly.
I think I need help. Shouldn't the Ubuntu touch OS be pre-installed?

Update: now on power-up it shows the pine cone only once, then black screen with steady red LED.

The big server move is taking place today and tomorrow.
Comments have been disabled for the website since it has already been moved to the cluster and is being tested. Comments made on the website in the past 6 hours may not be synced over, which I apologize for.
At some point today or tomorrow the forums will also be taken offline for a period of time. We cannot presently say with certainty how long it will take, but obviously we'll strive for close-to-zero downtime.
Thanks!
