The UBports guys are working hard to deliver more well rounded features into the stable image for the PinePhone, but this may yet take some time. 

Meanwhile, if you're keen to experiment and you're not afraid of breaking things (which may require you to re-flash the image) then here's steps you can take to get additional functionality right now.
I'll try to keep this post up-to-date in the days leading up the a Stable OTA with new features.

Switch over to "development channel"
If you're keen to try stuff out, then you'll first need to switch over to the development channel.

Quote:Open "Settings"-> head all the way down to "Updates" -> select "Update Settings" -> "Channels" -> select "Development"

1. Enable advanced power management (Crust)
   
2. Enable GPS
   

I’m interested in investing in Pine64. Does anyone know if the founders are accepting investors?

I carefully removed the 'peel off mask'. The screen surface appears to be separating at the top and bottom. Not sure if this is another layer to be removed or the actual touch screen digitizer.

I would like to be able to see the text messages during u-boot initialization and OS boot. There is a section in the wiki about it, but I expect it's outdated. Here is what it says;

By default most Linux distros have a boot screen with a picture. To see all the messages, use the following;  

• Backup and edit the U-Boot configuration file:
  

• Update the U-Boot configuration:
  

Hello,

I removed the eMMC attempting to do the u-boot installation.  However, it looks like nothing happened when I tried to do it because it didn't engage the microSD card at boot I guess.  However, I put the eMMC back on and it won't boot the regular Debian OS now at all?

Also, I can't get microSD to work as an alternative, although I have never once successfully used the microSD boot at this point.

Why won't it load?  Why does the power button blink green once, and then hold a orangish red color indefinitely?

Thanks, AstroCEO.

I sometimes access this site from an older computer which is stuck on an older Firefox ESR version. There are still no SSL errors on e.g. www.pine64.org, but after the move forum.pine64.org now gives:

An error occurred during a connection to forum.pine64.org. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP

It can only be accessed by using plain http.

Hi there,
on my PinebookPro with Fedora32 the microphone is not working. If I try to record something (like Videochat, ...), only "peeeeep" is hearing.

How to fix that?

Thanks

I found here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaNzPooIWsU&t=76s the information, that the batteries of the Pinephone can be replaced by bigger ones. In the Pinephone Wiki there is the information, that the Pinophone batteries have the form-factor of Samsung J7 batteries. For some smartphones there are bigger batteries available, but for Samsung J7 batteries I could not find bigger ones. Are any bigger batteries available for the Pinephone?

Hello,

so I bought a Pinebook Pro. It's nice, but I noticed that there is a very high whimpering (?).
You probably won't even here it if you are older than 25 (yep, that high).
Because it's a bit annoying I opened it up and noticed what you see on the picture.

Now, is this normal? And could that be the cause? If not, any ideas for the cause?
