Hello everyone,

In the link below you'll find the final draft of the PinePhone Quick Start Manual. This is a manual we are required to include with future PinePhone shipments for regulatory purposes. 

We welcome any language translations, from all corners of the globe, but we are particularly interested in big (population-wise) European languages, such as: French, German and Spanish.

Before doing anything read this first:

• If you're up to the task then I kindly ask you to clearly state (in this thread) that you are going to do a translation and state which language you'll translate to
  
• If someone already said they'll be translating to the language you speak in, perhaps reach out and help them out - split the workload.
  
• Some languages are more expressive than others, but keep the text  as short as possible while still maintaining semantic coherence
  
• Be very cautious with section 2.2 - the translation needs to be as close to the original English text as possible
  
• Please post finished translations here in this thread and @ me so I don't miss it
  
• If you spot some mistake in the English version linked below do let me know - I'll fix it.

Hi.

I'm playing with UT image for a few days, and noticed that during incoming call, the phone doesn't ring, it just vibrates.
I doesn't make any sound when you select a ringtone either.
The audio playback works.

IS this a known issue, is it fixable using some sort of script?

The UBPorts gitlab page has "Cellular: Change audio routings" in the "Not working" list, but I don't think it's about ringing.

Another issue is - it only detects an incoming call if the screen is turned on, looks like something is wrong with "suspend" settings

Hi there,
I am willing to use the pinephone for a project needing GPS positionning.

My software will execute on Linux Ubuntu Touch using a GO (golang) binary.

Could you provide reference documentation or explain how I could access the GPS coordinate of the smartphone ?

Thanks for your help

You can use this python script I wrote to import contacts if you have a .vcf file with multiple vcards (the kind you get from exporting google or apple contacts)

Hope it helps you!

I've had an Intel 1 TB SSD sitting here in the box for a few weeks because I haven't decided what to do with it.  I'd like to have at least 2 operating systems on it.

I get that a boot menu (like GRUB) isn't going to work because there's no video until the driver loads.  But what if you load a very minimal Linux partition with the video driver, then write a small boot menu (in C) that boots your choice of OS.  It could be on the eMMC even, the SSD doesn't need to be bootable directly.

Except I don't know what to do in C to boot another partition because I've never done it.  Would I just system() a kernel with a full path and command line options?  Probably not, and what if the kernel isn't Linux, like an OpenBSD one?  system() probably isn't going to like that.

Hey guys,

how do I update the Ubuntu Touch image? Do I have to reflash after each new build or can I do it from the settings menu?

Best,
Thomas

Hello everyone, I'm using pine a64 and installing retroarch, everything smooth but when i connect xbox 360 controller its keep blinking even i installed the driver using this command sudo apt-get install xboxdrv

Hi, if you are interested in get Micro$oft Team$ over your pinebook pro, here is binaries https://privacyshark.zero-credibility.ne...pkg.tar.xz

Github project page is on https://github.com/IsmaelMartinez/teams-for-linux

Original source is on https://forum.manjaro.org/t/manjaro-and-...are/130103

Does anyone know what kind of possibilities we have to change the boot loader? I mean whatever is running before the OS is starting right now it seems to look for something to boot on the sd card first and then on the emmc. I would love it if it were possible to choose where it is booting from, maybe by holding down one of the volume keys.

I guess this lies somewhere in the /dec/mmcblk2boot0 and /dev/mmcblk2boot1 devices. But they just seem to be 4 MB of zeroes.

So, does anyone know anything source code with build and flashing instructions would be top.
