| Repeatedly Freezing then Rebooting |

After power on it keeps locking up before this happens if you are at a command line you can press keys and the cursor blinks to the keypress but nothing appears and then it freezes. This happens about 1 minute after been switched on and repeatedly does this while left on.
I'm still using the default disto I did disable lightdb just in case it was GUI related but it happens at a command line as well. This started happening after I ran updates a few weeks back but I've not been using it so only just realised its consistently doing this.
Any ideas what's going on? or how to find out?
(I am actually wanting to wipe it and put manjaro on but can't get it to boot SD or USB either)

| Avoiding modem flash-memory corruption? |

On the PinePhone Software Release page, it says:
Quote:There is a document about using the modem [...] disable the modem before power off is pretty essential to avoid corrupting your modem's flash memory.
I have a few questions:
- Do I still need to disable the modem before powering off the phone when I have powered up the phone with the modem off (via the kill switch)?
- If I've booted the phone with the modem off then subsequently turn off the modem via the kill switch, should I disable the modem before using the kill switch to turn off the modem?
- If the modem's flash memory has been corrupted, how can it be restored/recovered/reset?

| Programs that should run on Pinebook Pro |

Hello Community,
i got problems to get all apps running on the pinebook pro:
- AppImageLauncher needs libc6 2.27 (Pinebook 2.24) -> Very important because with appimages you can install more apps like waterfox, ungoogled chromium
- parsec got a armhf.deb file but for the raspberry pi -> Someone should make this to work! steam link the same! (Or Steam haha)
Solutions:
-> Add a newer version of libc6 over 2.27
-> create deb files for parsec, appimagelauncher, steam link, iriduim browser, ungoogled chromium, waterfox, brave, pure browser
-> With the update to debian 10 a lot of problems should be solved, because not every app supports still debian 9
-> Support for arm64 because the pinebook pro can do that! Or if not possible change the OS to arm64!
-> Add something that the armhf.deb from the raspberry pi work, so steam link or parsec etc should work right away. If this possible!
Thanx!

| No Privacy Browser out yet? + my advice |

Hello,
there is still no privacy browser out yet! i read the article about that the pinebook pro is without many blobs and very privacy respecting.
Can you tell me why you using the standard chromium and firefox? With default search engine google? Anyway...
Best solution you can use right now:
Vivaldi Browser (disable Google crap in privacy settings and use duckduckgo) with a vpn.
They collecting data about your resolution, browser version, location, cpu architecture and ip adress. So with vpn you should be save.
Browser addons: Https Everywhere, ublock, Privacy badger, Cookie Autodelete and NoScript
The vivaldi browser use blink engine -> so it's a chrome fork)
Secondary Browser:
Gnome Web Browser (Youtube isn't working)
I tried a lot of browser from the Software store (Install Flatpak for a good appstore).
- Netsurf, Iceweasel won't start i think because of arm cpu.
- Midori, Eolie, Pale Moon(Only privacy respecting browser with the ability to install firefox adoons) will crash after a while
What we need to be done:
- Waterfox and not firefox with google analytics for the pinebook pro
- ungoogled Chromium and not the standard Chromium
- alternative: Iridium Browser (best solution!), Brave, Pure Browser
-> Someone should make a armhf.deb file, saidly the raspberry pi armhf.deb files won't work with the pinebook pro.

Hello,
i tried everything to get a working android version running on sd card.
All images from 8GB to 64Gb with Etcher, Pine64installer, rm flashing tool with the image and the terminal version from LearnLinuxTV:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTyBI2PO4I0
won't working!
Only one thing worked! The 32GB Version with the terminal command "sudo dd if=image.img of=/dev/sdcard-path" will boot to the rockchip-screen.
After this i can see in the left-bottom corner a code that loops everytime.
PS: I'm using the latest version of debian Stretch on the internal memory and with the new touchpad/keyboard update.
What can i do to get android to run?
Advice: It's very good that the images are without google services. fuck google with their data collection. And stop using gstatic on your website!

Hello everyone!
Thank for you all for taking the time to read my post.
Has anyone had any success installing/building a VoIP/SIP client on the pinephone?
If so, could you please outline-
1. The distro you used (doesn't have to be Linux);
2. The VoIP/SIP client you installed/built (e.g. Linphone, BareSIP, PJSIP);
3. The codecs used; and
4. If possible, a copy of your sample config (less passwords et al).
Many thanks again in advance!
