Apologies for the newbie question, but I've been stymied on this so far-- what's a good way to get the PBP battery status (percentage or time remaining, plugged in or on battery, etc) on the command line? 

If it matters, I'm on Manjaro 20.04.

Hello,

I left my phone without the battery in for a few days, and I cannot get it to turn on now. I have attempted to leave it plugged in to charge for over 3 hours, but i see no indictation it is charging.

I have also tried holding the power button for over 30 seconds after charging, but have had no success.

Is there any other way to turn the Pinephone on?

Thank you!

Hi!

I'm planning to buy this module, though I have some questions about it.

First, does it have compatiblity issues? I've read that in the past there were problems with the WiFi module - though I'm not sure it was the same model.

Second, what speed can it achieve on 5Ghz? I haven a 1000/1000 Mbps connection, so a minimum 200Mbps down and up would be reasonable for me.

Third, do I need to get an antenna for it?

Fourth, is it easy to unplug the chip? I have two RockPro64 (2GB/4GB version), I plan to use it for one, but there could be occasions where I'd like to plug it in the other one.

I have a couple of the OG Pine64.  I think one is 1gb, the other is 2gb.

I ordered a couple Wireless USB remote controls (hopefully they work).

I want to set this up so that me and my kids can share the old school video games I enjoyed 30 years ago.

What OS should I start with?


Is there a step by step tutorial that I could walk me through the process of setting up / installing what I need?

Thanks

Hello pinebookers,

I tried the Wifi privacy switch (pine+f12) and the wifi instantly stopped working.

But after doing Pine+f12 and seeing blocknum blink two times and restarting, wifi is not working.
I cant even see wlan with iwconfig (no wireless extensions) and ifconfig only shows lo.

Attached is a photo of dmesg | grep wifi

Thank you!

EDIT: Booting Manjaro from an SDCard has the same issue. ANd rebooting after pine+12 does not help :O

Hello, I am attempting to install Manjaro but micro sd is not booting up before emmc. I have already run Mr. Fixits script a couple months ago, but see no button or icon to update again, which is what I am assuming is what I need to do so I can boot to micro sd finally. Question is, how to I update if the .sh file is not in the folder it is supposed to be in. Do I download an update manually? Do I run a command of some kind??

GPS was working fine before but it stopped working in #271 


How do you enable it?

Hey!  Just getting started looking for a new device with Linux.  My aunt bought me an amazon kindle for Christmas.  I’ve been trying to write Raspbian to the sd card but thus far haven’t been successful.  I didn’t even know what a micro as was until I started using the kindle.

Greetings!
I wanted to use this wifi antenna, but it isn't recognized, so I tried to hunt some drivers for it.
I managed to find some drivers that could be good, maybe, but when I do the build process, I always get "(bad exit status: 2)"
What can be the problem?

I'm interested in buying the (UBPorts PinePhone). I wonder about any extra taxes and import charges though. I live in the Netherlands and when I receive packages worth more than roughly €30 from outside the EU I've had to pay taxes and import charges before, which can add up quite a lot, often up to 50% or more of the original price.

Does anybody know from where the phone will be shipped?

And did other people in the Netherlands already order PinePhones to their home?
