| PinePhone Not Charging. |

Ok, I didnt want to post "me too" for gab's post of pinePhone not charging, but: "me Too".
I have +3V , +5V on the pogo pins, so I can guess that the USB is making a power connection to the mainboard.
The 4 pin battery connector has 0Volts on all 4 pins. The PinePhone seems to recognize that the phone is, or isnt plugged in, but will not charge it.
I have tried turning off all the kill switches, resetting, removing the sd card, at no point will the battery charge. Can I get a schematic of that circuit?
I have some hacks on how to force this thing to work (like solder a wireless charger directly onto the battery), but I'd really rather get it working as its supposed to.
I dont expect much in terms of warranty service, but some schematics, or community support would be much appreciated.
Additionally, are there any requirements for the usb charging device?
What is the charging power? Is the USB C cable anything special?
Can I charge the PinePhone via a computers USB port?

I have received my phone and installed pmbootstrap. When I ran pmbootstrap init I got this:
Code: [user@localhost ~]$ pmbootstrap init
[17:35:25] Location of the 'work' path. Multiple chroots (native, device arch, device rootfs) will be created in there.

[17:35:34] pmbootstrap does everything in Alpine Linux chroots, so your host system does not get modified. In order to work with these chroots, pmbootstrap calls 'sudo' internally. To see the commands it runs, you can run 'pmbootstrap log' in a second terminal.

Why does it reqire proprietary components? Do I need to upgrade to the development version of pmbootstrap?

Hello all! New here. First post ever. Virtually complete newb.
Problem: I just installed Ubuntu Touch OS (2/9/20) on my Brave Heart & my bloody screen timed out before I could set security parameters, yet it's asking me for a security code. Is there a default code or how do I do a factory reset? Any assistance is very much appreciated. Thank you.

| Python3 cli app to bridge SMS/MMS to matrix/riot.im |

quick edit: My script is almost done. SMS/MMS/Group chats are all bridged to matrix and I've been using it without issue for over a month now.
I just a couple things left to do and then I'll clean it up. Please give it a try!
https://gitlab.com/untidylamp/ofono-matrix-puppet
Original post:
I'm working on an app that will allow you to send/receive SMS and MMS messages from the web using Matrix/riot.im
here is the very first version with a really bad readme file. as of right now only SMSes work but I have the code for ofono to send/receive MMS. I just need to figure out how to send files to matrix and then put it in the script.
I'm not very good at programming but I'm learning. Hopefully someone else finds what I'm working on useful or maybe it will help them build a more reliable web texting app 
I'm also interested in running a VoIP server on my phone so that I can use a VoIP app on another device to send/receive calls from my cell number without forwarding calls to a VoIP provider. That way I'll just leave my little server PinePhone at home on all the time but be able to do everything a phone can from any other device with a data connection. I have no idea where to start with this so I'll just be forwarding calls to my VoIP provider for now.

Does anybody else have extremely quiet speakers while running Manjaro? I have tried both firefox and chromium, along with a few different websites, but the speakers remain extremely quiet. My volume is turned up to full both on the websites' volume control buttons and in the system ui. Ideas anyone?

| 3G? amplifier? |

Have my Pinephone. Modem reports -113 dBm but outside can be -70dBm. I want to use the Pinephone on PagePlusCellular as 3G. I currently use an Incredible 2 on cdma with an amplifier. Since the cell tower is only a mile away but there's a hill blocking, I have a yagi antenna pointed 45° away and get signals to and from by bouncing off a hill in that direction. I would be happy to buy an amplifier that can do Verizon 3G as PPC uses the Verizon network. Can this be done? Any recommendations appreciated. I also have a 2 meter loop antenna that's no longer used from my amateur radio days if that could be any use. Thanks.
