I seem to not have any haptic feedback when typing on the digital keyboard in Ubuntu Touch. Is this normal behavior? I haven't felt vibration in the phone at all except at one point the phone got stuck vibrating randomly until I rebooted it.

Is the keyboard supposed to give haptic feedback or is there something wrong with my vibration motor?

I’m attempting to mount some cloud storage using rclone mount, but it is complaining about fusermount not being found in $PATH. Running “which fusermount” yields nothing. Fuse seems to be installed, but how do I get or find fusermount? I’m on a new Pinebook Pro running the stock Manjaro install. I installed rclone using “curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash” Thanks!

I haven't received my one phone yet, but was wondering if Miracast was working.

Since I m writing a lot, a appreciated to ability to have all my files on an Android phone on the external SD card. But starting from Android 5.0 it was not possible anymore in an easy way to write to the SD card on Android, nor to access the SD card from a PC.



I went pack to a Samsung Galaxy S5 and Android 4.4, which was the last version of Android which allows an easy way to write to the external SD card.



One of the main reason for me personally to buy a Pinephone would be to have a writing machine with SD card in my pocket, which allows access of the SD card from a PC. SD cards are practical storage devices, which allows easy back up, no need to sync over the Internet etc.



On older Android Phones it was possible to plug in the phone into a PC, and it was a storage drive. But from Android 5.0 it was not possible anymore. I did not even manage to get access to the files on my phone over a wifi network.




All these options are gone. How is it with the Pinephone? Which is the easiest way to access the external SD card of a Pinephone from a PC?

After using my PineBook Pro for a few days, I noticed that the time was wrong (set to the exact date and time of the shutdown) when it was booted without being connected to the internet.

I don't know if it's a rare issue or not, but since I couldn't find any fix for this I figured I'd make a small tutorial in case someone else have the same issue in the future.

After searching for a bit, I found that the PineBook Pro have a Real Time Clock (RTC) so it should be able to keep track of time while being powered off.

My RTC date and time wasn't apparently set correctly (it was set to an arbitrary date in 2007) which confused the system that decided to use the last known timestamp instead. Thankfully, the fix is easy:

1. Check if the RTC date and time match the actual date and time by running:

There is an instruction from Adafruit to build up a BLE bike based on the Adafruit CLUE chip:

https://github.com/PeterGamma/Pyloton-Ci...g-Computer

The Adafruit Clue chip is Arduino compatible. There are instructions how to run Arduiono code on a Rasperri PI. And as far as I found out there is no reason why Rasperri PI code should not run also on a Pinephone.

The Pinephone would be a better platform for a bike computer than the Adafruit Clue. Replacable batteries, large display, 3G or 4 G connection, etc.

The Adafruit instruction to build up a Pyloton bike computer is great. Is it possible to migrate the code for the Pyloton bike computer to a Pinephone?

Hi folks!

Does anybody know, if it's possible to swap the keys on the optional keyboard without damage, to creating a "QWERTZ" layout?

Now for the long wait...

Are there any daemons, kernel tweaks, ... available to have more aggressive thermal throttling on the PinePhone? It does get very hot if running demanding tasks, and I don't like it both for my hands as well as the possible impact on battery lifetime. However, making sure to limit all tasks one by one is lots of work, it'd be nicer if the whole system just throttled earlier when temperature crosses a certain threshold over a certain amount of time.

Does somebody happen to know if some throttling tweaks like that are available in the kernel or in some power management daemon that can be tweaked for use on the PinePhone? Or would any of you know a good place to request this for consideration?
