I have updated the wiki to include PureOS. This is a user (mozzwald) implemented "port" of PureOS that I find rather interesting - a lot of the Settings screens for instance scale better to the PinePhone than e.g. Phosh on postmarketOS. Automatic screen brightness works but is somewhat disconcerting as it has rapid updates so makes the screen almost flash.

Anyway, I am off to play more.

This morning several of the keys on my PBP keyboard have stopped working. This mine the ANSI version, and the "Backspace", "|\", "Enter", and "arrow keys" have stopped working. I have tried two different OS's, and am using an external keyboard which works fine. Anything this could be besides a bad keyboard?

Hi
Read about OVA JavaCard. Don't know to much about it other than that apps can be installed through the SIM.
What access does such an app have to the Pinephone hardware/system (compared to a regular phone like Samsung or iPhone) ?

Hi,

Which e-mail application is usable with UBPorts ?
I tried Dekko2 but it doesn't work correctly.

Running Retro Games with Rust is not that hard on PineTime Smart Watch... Here's how I ported the libchip8 CHIP-8 Game Emulator to PineTime...

(Lemme know if you're keen to use Retro Games as a Watch Face!)

Hey all,

We're having serious problems with one of the IRC nodes - this will take 6-12 hours to resolve.
In the meantime I suggest you use a different protocol for chatting. If you're intent for using IRC, use this link: http://uk.pine64.xyz:9090/?channels=Pine...MTE9MjE131


Everything should be working now.

I've been playing some more and discovering new things.

1) Network/Mobile Broadband connected does not persist over a reboot. (I have WiFi and Airplane mode Off/Disabled in Settings, they stay Off after reboot).

2) Bluetooth works but needs service started. Connected with my BT keyboard fine but screen dims then brightens regularly, perhaps in time with BT heartbeats?

3) I think the Portrait/Landscape icon/wording in the pull-down menu should be reversed? When in portrait mode I should see an icon to go to Landscape? (And vice versa?)

4) Telegram-desktop working pretty well, but telegram notifications (popup nicely on screen) are setting volume to zero.

5) Firefox with pmOS wiki hints. working great

One thing I quickly get used to is being able to use hosts to block ads and all kinds of other crud: was getting harder on Android (mainly getting su permissions on each new handset) but another advantage of the PinePhone, it is easy. Sad though to see my favourite source has chronic health issues.

Can't boot android 9 on rock64. I tried sdtools and etcher methods. And tried different sd cards. How to solve this problem?
