I'd like to preorder a Pinebook Pro from the next batch but when I try to add it to my cart it says "You cannot add "14″ PINEBOOK Pro LINUX LAPTOP (ANSI, US Keyboard)" to the cart because the product is out of stock."
How do I go about getting it ordered?
Thanks!

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?

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?

| How to update the RTC date (time set to last timestamp before shutdown) |

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:
2. If the value isn't correct, make sure that the system date and time is correct by running the `date` command:
3. If the system date and time isn't correct, either change it manually or connect to the internet so the clock adjusts automatically.
4. To set the RTC date and time to the system date and time, run the command:
5. Check that the RTC date is now correct by running the `sudo hwclock -r` command again.
6. Your PineBook Pro will now have the correct date and time, even offline.

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?
regards, guenther
