| No IMEI for Braveheart Pinephone? |

Forgive me if this has already on the web forums somewhere - I can only find references to topics about changing IMEI, or references to IMEI in conjunction with activating micro-SIM cards on the Pinephone. I have Ubports installed on my Braveheart Pinephone that I received two days ago and got wireless to work with a couple of command line entries and a reboot. I've ordered an ATT compatible micro-SIM card, and once inserted, would like to activate the phone on my pre-paid account with ATT. If I go to att.com/prepaid it looks as if I'll have to supply an IMEI number in order to activate the phone. If I go to "settings>about" to looke for the IEMI number, "None" is listed. Is this really the case? Is there another path to finding out the IMEI of the phone? How can one get around that in order to activate cellular service?

[Videos] Introducing the Pinebook Pro ANSI Edition |

Here are the introductory videos I did for the Pinebook Pro ANSI Edition. Hope you enjoy!
Announcing Availability of the Pinebook Pro ANSI Edition
Unboxing the Pinebook Pro ANSI Edition with US Keyboard Layout
Disassembling the Pinebook Pro
Debian Linux: The Default OS on the Pinebook Pro
I hope to do more Pinebook Pro videos in the near future, so be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel to ensure you see them.
For starters, I want to get my hands on the m.2 adapter and try it with a few different NVMe drives to see how it works. I also plan to show viewers how to move their home folder to the m.2 so they can use the eMMC as the boot disk but have all their files stored on the m.2.
Lots to come! Please let me know what you think and if you have any requests for future video series.

In order to install PostmarketOS on EMMC, Pinephone page on postmarketos' wiki instruct to run the following :
Code: pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/mmcblk(...)
I currently run postmarketOS from SD card (not the demo image, but current release), and still have stock test image on EMMC. The partitions looks as follow :
Code: sudo ls /dev/mmcblk*
/dev/mmcblk0 /dev/mmcblk0p2 /dev/mmcblk2boot0 /dev/mmcblk2p1
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /dev/mmcblk2 /dev/mmcblk2boot1 /dev/mmcblk2p2
when I try to run :
Code: pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/mmcblk
I get the following error :

Has anyone had any luck changing the time and date? It seems to be stuck on GMT. I can get to the setting that allows me to enter my location, it suggests my city, state, country but when I click on it, nothing happens. If I try to manually set the time, it ignores the reset. I've tried a couple of command line entries in terminal, but even those haven't helped. Being connected to wi-fi doesn't seem to help, maybe once I get a carrier and connect it to their network it will force the change. Anyone know?

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?
