Hello,

I received my PBP in January (I think from the second publicly sold batch). After some trying out on the original Debian install, I was able to install Bionic Mate on it following instructions. Given that I messed up that install a bit by trying to install software that I think was incompatible (Anbox, VMWare Horizon, R Commander), I decided I wanted to give Manjaro a try (at that time I think it was still 19.12). I followed the instructions per manjaro.org, however Whenever I booted up with the etched Manjaro image on sd in my PBP, it would either hang, or decide to boot up in my Bionic install. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. I've already tried at the Manjaro Froum, but they keep repeating the instructions (and I keep repeating following them to the letter and failing).

I have tried numerous times downloading (both 19.12 and later 20.04 versions), writing the image with Balenaetcher (on my Windows laptop, btw I've also tried several times writing the image to my sd using dd on my PBP), than booting up on my PBP. I've tried it with two different sd cards (including the one I used successfully before to install Bionic Mate), however I keep failing. I finally found out how to get a boot log from a previous boot, so I have the log of my latest failure.

I have Ubuntu on my card. I testeed it on my Linux laptop, and in Windows; it works there. On PBP the first time I tried it, it seemed to recognize it as bootable, but hung up. Since then it merely mounts it. How do I get it to boot from the card?

After not using my Pine A64 for a while, I decided to dust it off and reinstall Android 6.0. I actually first install Adroid TV (v7 I believe), but my wifi kept getting disconnected. Anyhow, I'm able to connect to wifi but it's showing I don't have internet. My other devices are connected to the same network and they are fine. I tried searching online for resolution but I can't find what I need. Please help!

pine64, can you make an estimate of what it would cost to add an usb nano hub on the
mainboard? Or design the mainboard such, that people themselves could
add an usb nano hub? I want to be able to connect an
usb wifi card to the mainboard. Other people might find ways to
utilize an usb hub.

Pinephone support for these two features may be more critical than anticipated.  According to the following article, T-Mobile has announced they will be turning off their 2G and 3G networks in 2021. Verizon is already doing so, AT&T apparently is accelerating their plans to shut down their 2G/3G to this year.

I was doing some research in the UBPorts forum and discovered why a certain phone (Nexus 5) is not capable of doing VoLTE and wondered how the Pinephone compares in this regard.  Basically, it's because it cannot transmit and receive on both 3G and LTE networks at the same time due to no second diversity antenna. So support was never built out for it.

Can the Pinephone transmit and receive full duplex on both the  3G and LTE bands at the same time?

Hi everyone,

I just hoped someone can point me in the right direction please? I'd like to experiment with getting a couple of linux distros running on my Pine A64 which dont have any official images, are there any instructions available on how to build an image for this? I have 1 of tge original boards from the kickstarter campaign if this matters. I thought if there are any steps that need to be taken and things I should know then I can apply the build process to diffeent distros I use to see what I can get working well on my Pine.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks

I'm wanting to install scrcpy and it's not available in Synaptic. It is available in snap packages and both show installed but when I go to run either I get command not found.

Any ideas or is it a situation where snaps dont work with arm processors?

i just received my pine phone today. it booted to android 7.1.1. i was under the impression that this wouldn't ship with an operating system. the system is in chinese and i try to goto setting to try to change the langue and the phone freezes i have to remove the battery to turn the phone off. also i notice that the phone gets really hot when its on the charger. is this normal?
