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"
You'll likely experience the phone temporarily slowing down, this is normal. The phone will fetch a new development channel OTA update, after which you should tap "Install & update".
After your phone reboots, before proceeding I suggest you should enable SSH as this will make things easier for you:
Code: sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo umount /etc/init/ssh.override
sudo rm /etc/init/ssh.override
sudo start ssh
Now you're ready to enable additional functionality of the phone under Development Channel.
- Enable advanced power management (Crust)
- Enable GPS
In the event something breaks, make sure to read @UniversalSuperBox post concerning troubleshooting and dealing with problems -- which are naturally more likely if you're on the dev release channel.
Have fun!

| Boot time text messges |

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 There is a section in the wiki about it, but I expect it's outdated.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;
<snip>
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:
cp -p /etc/default/u-boot /etc/default/u-boot.`date +%Y%m%d`
chmod a-w /etc/default/u-boot.`date +%Y%m%d`
vi /etc/default/u-boot
Remove the quiet and splash parameters. Leave everything else alone. - Update the U-Boot configuration:
u-boot-update
</snip>
On my fresh-from-the-factory Pinebook Pro I received in the last week of May 2020 there is no u-boot file in /etc/default and no u-boot-update.
So, how do I go about enabling boot time messages?
Thanks,
Patrick

| Pinebook Pro not Booting at All eMMC or MicroSD |

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.

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?

OK, because attachments didn't work (or at least I didn't find it), here a link: https://cloud.khanich.de/s/NnaLAwYbRDnqXRY
