Since there is discussion of including an RTL-SDR module option in the PineTab, I've had some renewed excitement over the possibilities of doing SDR stuff on Pine devices. However, I still can't seem to get my RTL-SDR dongle to work on my Pinebook Pro. It works fine on my other computers, and I have little reason to believe that it's not receiving enough power, but even so, all I can ever get it to do is produce what appears to be a repeating loop of the first few samples it collects whenever I try to use it.

Is this a fluke that's down to some issue with my specific units (either the SDR or the Pinebook Pro), or have others had this problem as well? I'm doing my best to debug it, but the answer is still eluding me.

How about you? Have you tried using an RTL-SDR on the Pinebook Pro (or the regular Pinebook, for that matter)? How'd it go?

Hey guys,

when I try to play youtube videos in Firefox, I get the following message:
====================

The address wasn't understood

Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (rtsp) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.

You might need to install other software to open this address.
====================

Is there an easy quick fix for this?

Best,
Thomas

Hey, i am looking for the fastest read/write SD card for my Braveheart (minimum size 128GB).

Where should i look taking under consideration the PinePhone's specs and limits?

Hello all,
Just curios if there's any info as to when the PineTab early-adopter orders will open?

Hello,

my brand new PinePhone don't start. I removed the battery tab from battery and battery connector, charged the phone a hole night and tried to fire up the device pressing the lower button a few seconds, but nothing happened. What's the problem?

[edit] Starting Devel OS image build 47 crust is enabled by default AND the phone is capable of accepting phone calls, data events AND SMS.
The instructions below are therefore no longer required.

Testing and feedback for this feature is much important since the devs would very much like to include it into their day-one patch for when UBports CE PinePhones arrive in the hands of their new owners.

Pre-requisites:

1) You need to be on OTA build 31 (or newer)  OTA 33 or newer

2) You'll need to have a rw filesys for this and you'll want SSH enabled:

Have been playing with phosh on my phone for a bit now. 
I noticed that when the phone runs out of battery and I do not shut it down the modem appears to lock itself as far as sms.
After plugging in the charger and turning the phone back on I am unable to receive sms messages in chatty. They are queuing up on the modem. Rebooting the phone does not fix the issue. Accessing the modem, running the queue check (AT+CMGD=?) and exiting the modem, then rebooting also does not fix the issue. Waiting for a message or two to queue up, deleting them entirely or only one (EG: AT+CMGD=0) and rebooting allows chatty to receive the sms messages again. Obviously this is quite tedious to test with having to wait for the battery to drain fully.  Would anyone have a lead on how the modem might be locked if not properly shutdown and another way to try and reset it?

Anyone tried installing mycroft?

Tried it on pureos (without mimic tts engine) but mic not being picked up. Will have a look at the troubleshooting below but someone might want to try on mobian in the meanwhile.
