  Testing GPS
Posted by: Luke - 05-18-2020, 02:43 PM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (54)

Here are the steps to enable and help testing GPS on Ubuntu Touch.

I strongly suggest you open SSH first:

Code:
sudo mount -o rw,remount /
sudo umount /etc/init/ssh.override
sudo rm /etc/init/ssh.override
sudo start ssh


Step 1)
You need to be using OTA version 27 (May 17th) or newer. You should be on devel channel.

Step 2)
Fetch uNav and Pure Maps from OpenStore

Step 3)
Mount the volume so its rewritable

Code:
sudo mount -o rw,remount /


Step 4)
Install gpsd

Code:
sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_edge_-_gpsd


Step 5)
Start GPS + some magic
Code:
sudo gpsd start
sudo restart ubuntu-location-service
initctl unset-env --global UBUNTU_PLATFORM_API_BACKEND
initctl set-env --global UBUNTU_PLATFORM_API_BACKEND=touch_mirclient

Step 6)
Open uNav and request it to fetch your location.

  UK source of PinePhone batterys?
Posted by: --- - 05-18-2020, 12:03 PM - Forum: PinePhone Accessories - Replies (2)

Looking around there seems to be a lot of uncertainty (and of course Pine64 can't ship outside US). If anyone has found a trustworthy source (capacity/volume/dimensions/chip(etc)) please share. Thanks...


  Pixel Headphones (USB-C)
Posted by: JaceAlvejetti - 05-18-2020, 11:33 AM - Forum: Pinebook Pro Hardware and Accessories - Replies (5)

Not sure if this is posted elsewhere as a quick search didn't show it.

Happened upon my Pixel Headphones and plugged them into my PBP Running Manjaro, after setting them to default in the gui mixer they work just fine even show in the Mixer as "Pixel USB-C earbuds Analog Stereo"


  Dev 27 killed my Wifi
Posted by: Concrete_panda - 05-18-2020, 09:17 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (1)

Am I the only one who's wifi did not work any more after OTA upgrade to Dev 27 yesterday?


  Europe/EU import duties/taxes ?
Posted by: 46enip - 05-18-2020, 08:36 AM - Forum: General Discussion on Pinebook Pro - Replies (3)

Hello current and future European PinebookPro owners, I would appreciate if you share
how much were the import  duties/taxes for you. And how it is calculated:
Is it fixed amount or percentage based or combination of both ?
Optionally it would be nice to tell your country too. But totally understandable if you don't want to.

Thank you!


  Symbol meaning in the schematic
Posted by: dedoz - 05-18-2020, 07:40 AM - Forum: RockPro64 Hardware and Accessories - Replies (3)

Hi,

Iam having a hard time understand the "<<" and ">>" symbols in the Pine64 RockPro64 schematic: http://files.pine64.org/doc/rockpro64/ro...21-SCH.pdf

Here is a simple example for 2 pins:

PCIE_PWR: is marked with >> from the SoC, then with >> again on the EN pin of the the switch (or whatever). This clear that this pin in output (from the SoC side)

DVP_PWR: is marked with << from the SoC, then with >> on the EN pin of the the switch. This is confusing, Since it is connected to the EN pin of the switch, then it should be output, but why it is marked with << from from the SoC?

Can anyone please explain what these symbols supposed to mean?

TIA

  Mobile network settings
Posted by: afigegoznaet - 05-17-2020, 09:52 AM - Forum: UBPorts on PinePhone - Replies (2)

Hi.

I noticed, that both voicecalls and mobile internet are only working if the default settings (use 2G only) remain untouched.
As soon as I switch to anything else, i can only have mobile internet (2G/3G/4G case), or only voicecalls (the other 2 options).
Switching back to "2G only" doesn't help.
Anyone else experienced this issue / knows what's happening / how to fix it?
