Hi there; i plan to buy a PinePhone on the next weeks and i got some questions: 

the first is: does the PinePhone already launched ? and ready to grab ?

i had to choose between PinePhone and Fairphone; but i prefer PinePhone due to personal preferences and special options on it; 
can somebody tell me more about materials used for build the Pinephone ? 
like: "is the Pinephone "fair" like Fairphone" ? 

thank you for an answer, and sorry for my bad English because i'm French :)

My PBP ANSI from January batch will be up for sale by end of next week.

It has 64GB eMMC, all is working without issues. 
I will add a secondary 64GB eMMC card along with USB adapter along with it (I have used the second one for backup)
A fresh manjaro instalation will be installed on both eMMC cards.

200EUR is the price, I pay postage for ordinary post service. DHL is an option, but then buyer pays p&p since it is much more expensive.
Paypal accepted. 

Anyone interested?

I own 4x Rock64 boards.

3x of them of them will not boot.

They turn on all lights and never do anything. No HDMI output. Nothing.

I have a custom script that installs ArchLinux ARM which used to work/boot just fine. I've used it dozens of times.

I also tried the Armbian and Manjaro Arm images. Same results. All lights turn on, no HDMI output, it just sits there.

Two of the boards are V3, one is V2.

Yes, the jumper is installed.

Is the epiphany browser working for anyone? I always get an error in the console:

I turned on notifications for Geary (using Settings => Notifications). Now I would like to turn them off. But turning them off under Settings => Notifications doesn't work. They are still popping up. Is it a bug or am I missing something? I don't see a setting in Geary itself, other than telling it to not check for new mail in the background..

Does anyone know how to get the English International keyboard on the ISO Pinebook Pro running Manjaro? What I am looking for specifically is a way to change the keyboard layout so when I press the alt gr key (the right alt key) I can get accented Os and tildes over the Ns. I am taking a Spanish class and it is really aggravating not to have that option! I know that on Chromebooks all one has to do is go to the keyboard layout tab and select English International Keyboard, but when I go to do that on Manjaro I can't find a layout by that name. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi

I want to build a cable to power the RockPro64 from "dual SATA drives". This connector is direct connected to the usual DC-power.

Does any one knows the name of the connector or have a link?

The connector info and location so far:
4 pin connector
Diamgram23
Con15
DC out for SATA disk cable (direct connect from DC-IN)

Looking for advice on a quirk of the A64 LTS I have observed, using a LiPo battery as the power source.

When the Pine is shut down, the voltage on the USB hub (and 5V pins on the headers) drops to the battery voltage, between 3.6 to 4.2 volts, not zero as I would expect.

This is a problem for my application, so I have added a high-side MOSFET switch to save power (when shut down) and reduce the chances of damage to my USB peripherals (from low voltage).

So I'm wondering if there is a way in software/firmware to control this behavior, and if this is a bug or a feature? I've seen it on two from two LTS boards so far.

I noticed that Pine64 is now selling individual spare parts for the Pinebook Pro, and that set me wondering: why doesn't Pine64 offer the Pinebook Pro in an assemble-it-yourself form? I, for one, would probably be willing to even pay more for the opportunity to assemble my own laptop from a kit (The bragging rights would be great too    ). Can anybody see any problems with the idea?
