I just received my Community Ed Pinephone and instantly noticed the severe flashing of the display.  In searching I found the Quirks note here:

https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=PinePhone_v1.2

Except that mine flashes on all brightness levels except for between 90-100%, automatic brightness off.  I've updated to the development Ubuntu Touch v44 just to see if any software fix was available, however no change.  The flashing diminishes as as the brightness level approaches ~90%, but is still visible on any setting below.

Is this truly the case with the known hardware issue or is mine just more severe?

I have a 2020 build ANSI keyboard, and definitely have the super+arrow key issue.  Super key by itself works, but not in combination with other keys.  External keyboard works and the built in keyboard behaves the same across distros (Manjaro 20.04 and 20.06 KDE, debian)

I've scoured the forum (both here and Manjaro) and it seems to be agreed that if your Pinebook Pro was made in 2019 you should update the keyboard firmware, but I have a 2020 batch. Someone else asked a similar question to this as part of this Majaro i3 release, but with no conclusion. 

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/pinebook-pin.../133927/18

It seemed that there is some risk is updating the firmware as some ended up with bricked trackpads or other boot issues after attempting.  I'm hesitant to try the update if I don't need to.  For the time being I remapped global window tiling shortcuts to shift + arrow.  

Any thoughts on this? I'm just concerned that we maybe made a bad conclusion that this was resolved in 2019 where I'm fairly certain it's still out there.

Edit to add Wiki Reference: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebook_Pro#Trackpad

Is there any plan to update the PineBook Pro with a more recent CPU, 8GB or RAM, Bluetooth LE Audio, WiFi 6, etc?

Hello,

My audio jack is not working on my new UBports pinephone and I tried playing with the number 6 switch to no avail.
Then i noticed a set of pins, and one of the pins is missing, this explains why I saw a tiny spring in the back case of my phone when I opened it.
I assume this is an activation pin for the audio jack (it gets pressed inwards when the cover is put on the phone), it would explain why it is not working

If anyone knows what the pogo pins do and if it has any relation to the headphone jack i would be happy to know this.
Or if the headphone jack is working for others at all in general or if it is a work in progress.
If the pogo pins dont matter then there is no problem.
Maybe they have no relation to my problem.

If it isn't already.  To check just type
echo $PATH
at a command prompt.  The last Ayufan Buster image I grabbed doesn't have it.  dpkg-reconfigure is there but not in your path so it doesn't work.  You could run it as /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure except it also calls itself which won't work that way.

I just used it to set locales, it does a couple things as well like keyboard layouts, time zones.  To see what you're missing by not having it in your path do
ls /usr/sbin

Hi, I just published a modified version of Retropie 4.6 for RockPro64 on github at the following address:

https://github.com/Tron74/RetroPie-Setup

90% of the scripts have been converted and compiled, there is still 10% of the scripts that need to be modified, for this I seek help from volunteers.
There is also a link for downloading the image with all the packages installed, the Front End works well, but there is still some configuration problem.
I ask anyone interested to help. I chose RetroPie because I have more control over the operating system. I chose the RorckPro64 instead as I have superior performance to any other mini card supported by RetroPie.

I recreated the Git repository including the changes made to the original scripts. each modification has been designed to maintain compatibility with other platforms.

As operating system I installed Armbian 20.02.1 Bionic deprived of the graphic mode.


I therefore send you the link to download the image (16Gb) with the changes made:

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.
