* I have been fairly impressed with the progress UBPorts is making with each new release.
BUT
I have not been able to complete a download of their Feb. 25, 2020 edition.
I have made over 40 'failed' attempts starting about 2 hours after they released it until about
12 hours after this release.
The download speeds vary greatly from 100+kb/sec to 3mb/sec, wondering if there is a server problem or too many attempting to download at the same time ?
Any one else having this problem ? OR Just me, maybe the problem is at my end...?
UPDATE :
I have found that just clicking "retry" does continue the download...
AND so far these downloads have worked when I flash them using Balena Etcher....
Just a bit Frustrating, sometimes it is just a few 'retrys'
Sometimes many 'Retrys'
I have a Rock64 with OMV 4 installed and it works pretty well. My router and network switch are programmed to power off completely every night so I want to schedule an automatic shutdown on OMV itself and I know this can be easily done with cron jobs. However, when my router does power on I don't want the Rock64 to power on as soon as power is detected and instead use wake-on-LAN to boot it at a specific time.
Is it possible to disable the automatic power on and does the Rock64 support wake-on-LAN?
This is an attempt to nail down a basic set of apps people would generally expect a smart watch to have (from a discussion in chat):
* Heart rate monitor
* Clock (set time and date (with zone), timer, stop watch, alarm) - attempt to sync with local phone clock data
* Step counter
* Notifications (from phone)
* Weather forecast
* Predicted calorie burn (based on user input height, weight, age, etc)
Stretch and reach:
* Breaking news (possibly from an RSS feed from phone)
* Navigation (open street view from phone, use case: navigating whilst on a call, texting/messaging, browsing, watching media, phone charging in a backpack, etc)
I know Pine64 does a great Job with the PinePhone. And I know there are a lot of Problems like the Corona Virus, the delay because of the FCC/CE Certifications and the Closed Habour in Hongkong. But i still wait for my PinePhone BH Edition. I would love to get more Information how to proceed and when delivery can be expected.
I just want to give a quick heads up that boot-tools, which has a script for the pine64 and pinebook to boot into UMS mode through FEL, is working with the Pinephone.
The only way of accessing FEL for the pinephone is by having a microsd boot into FEL. There I found the image which you have to burn onto your SD as explained. Then you have to turn on the phone while being connected to your PC. When you "lsusb" and see a new device, for me it is recognised as an Onda v972, it means you succesfully booted into FEL mode. You can also check it with "sunxi-fel version" (binary from sunxi-tools) just in case. From that point foward, you just have to run the boot-tools script in order to set it up.
I used "make pinebook_ums" (over pine64_ums) to make it work. Yesterday it failed to do anything, but the gist of it might be that you have to take out the battery for it to work. Also try pine64_ums in case the other one is problematic.
I found out about FEL and UMS from some comment under a post on reddit, so the credit shall go to them. This post is just a heads up that it actually works.
I just did the last update and it broke netflix, which stops now every 5 seconds or less.
Reinstalling the patch did not solve anything.
For the rest everything seems working fine but as I missed the forum news for more than a month I wonder if i missed some patch or update and that is the reason why this is happening.
Just wanted to shout out to the folks at Pine64 I ordered a 128M emmc module and some other stuff and it looks like it shipped. :-) just wanted to say a big thanks for your efforts under extreme circumstances, just make sure you all stay safe, I'll take a computer virus any day over the kinda shit you've had to deal with over the last month.
Just wanted to report that I've recently installed the Samsung 960 EVO 500GB MZ-V6E500 2280. Running Manjaro ARM as primary drive. I wasn't sure it would work since the wiki shows the 970s don't work. I haven't noticed any heat from the drive but then I haven't done any particularly large read/writes. Seems stable thus far. Been using it about a week at this point.
What tests should I run before updating the wiki to note this thing is good to go?
Is there any other information anyone else would like about this?
Is there a standard for testing or verifying drives before we add them to the wiki? Perhaps I missed this somewhere if it already exists. Maybe worth noting at the top of the page or linking to those type of instructions here if/when they exist. https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebo...patibility
