I try to enter pine key and arrow key and I don't get any response

I just got my pine book pro, and I tried to connect it to a power bank (one that works with things like iPad and alike).\The pine book was saying charing but actually the battery was discharging.
I am now trying to charge with the provided supplier, but I wonder if the PBP is compatible to powerbanks at all no or there is an issue and I need to open my PBP to check out things.
Thanks.

 
I am wondering if someone working at UBPorts would be interested in posting on our Pine Phone Forum  ?

I for one would appreciate any inside information they can give here.

     Thanks  !

I looked up the camera that was listed for the cube camera, it was a bit vague, so could you tell us what options there will be and is it hackable for more fun.

I have tried to follow the Wiki section to set the power profile of the NVMe SSD.

        sudo nvme /dev/nvme0 id-ctrl /dev/nvme0 

returns:

        ps    0 : mp:3.30W operational enlat:0 exlat:0 rrt:0 rrl:0
                  rwt:0 rwl:0 idle_power:- active_power:-
        ps    1 : mp:2.70W operational enlat:0 exlat:0 rrt:1 rrl:1
                  rwt:1 rwl:1 idle_power:- active_power:-
        ps    2 : mp:2.30W operational enlat:0 exlat:0 rrt:2 rrl:2
                  rwt:2 rwl:2 idle_power:- active_power:-
        ps    3 : mp:0.0500W non-operational enlat:10000 exlat:45000 rrt:4 rrl:4
                  rwt:4 rwl:4 idle_power:- active_power:-
        ps    4 : mp:0.0050W non-operational enlat:10000 exlat:50000 rrt:4 rrl:4
                  rwt:4 rwl:4 idle_power:- active_power:-

Not really sure hot to decypher the output, but I'm assuming that ps 2 is the profile I want as its the lowest power with the drive operational.

I have tried setting this profile using 
        sudo nvme /set-feature /dev/nvme0 -f 2 -v 2

This seems to work until a reboot when it defaults back to profile 0.

Is there a command missing to save it to the NVMe?

Also after googling to try and find how to make NVMe setting persistant, I found some references to enabling Autonomous Power State Transistion rather than editing the power management. 
Which is the correct one to use APST (feature 0x0c) or Power Managment (feature 2) and how to make these setting persistent?

I'm considering using the PBP for online banking.  I was thinking about booting from an SD card just for this purpose.  Is anyone doing this now?  Which os would you suggest?  Are there any precautions I should take with that os?  Thanks.

I do not understand the decision to ship the Pinebook Pro with a 3A charger.

If it is a financial constraint in order to meet $200 price point - fine. However, my workflow ends up constantly draining the battery, which I suspect is the result of the low current output of the charger.

I would like to buy a powerful charger (something closer to 5V x 30A) in order to compile in peace of mind, but I don't know anything about the electronics' ability to cope with such an out-of-spec current draw.

Can I buy the big charger or should I not?

Hi,

I am selling my two week old Pinebook Pro UK/ISO including the SSD-Adapter.
Unfortunately it seems that my eyes don't cope with the high-res or high contrast of the screen, as mentioned in https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8695

Overall price incl. VAT and tax was EUR 284,29 so I am giving it away for EUR 200,- / GBP 170,- EUR 180,- / GBP 155,-.

I am located in Austria so shipping will be
Austria: EUR 4,-
Germany: EUR 10,80
EU: EUR 12,80 / GBP 11,-

Please send PM if interested.

Hi there,

I'm using Debian Testing from Unofficial installer and bluetooth doesn't work for me.

So I've been messing around with MultiMC for a bit on the PBP trying to set it up to use the ARM builds of the needed native libraries so the game would run, and I've found a pretty good way to do it that doesn't really require any manual setup and written a script to set it all up for you for a MultiMC instance.
I've only tested the script on Manjaro, but it should work fine on other distros and on a 32-bit userland. I don't know if the game will run with the binary Mali drivers as I've only tried using panfrost though. This setup only supports Minecraft 1.13 and newer, older versions use LWJGL 2 instead of 3 which will require a different setup.

Here's how to set it up:

1. Install MultiMC (AUR), you'll have to compile it from source since they don't provide ARM binaries. Here are their build instructions for Linux.
   
2. Make sure you have a Java runtime installed, they recommend Java 8 but newer versions also seem to work.
   Debian: apt install openjdk-11-jreManjaro: pacman -S jre-openjdk
3. Open MultiMC, pick your preferred settings and select your Java installation.
   
4. When MultiMC is set up, add a new instance with the version of Minecraft you want to play
   
5. Download my script and place it in some directory, remember to mark it as executable.
   
6. Open a terminal in the directory containing the script and run it with the name of the instance you created earlier as parameter.
   
7. If everything goes right, you should now be able to start the instance in MultiMC and play Minecraft!
