**   IF  you have a shipping problem,  you should voice your concern.
  
   However, you should know/realize that shipping from China to all places Global can involve many obstacles .

   Just the distances alone that the shipments may need to travel can be extremely lengthy.

  The Pine Team is not responsible for local customs, tariffs, taxes, levies, etc...

  They cannot control what happens 'After' they 'Mail' or 'Ship' an item.

  The methods of shipment can make a difference,
      So can the time of year, such as Christmas and New Years and more....

       Even the routes make a difference.

   I ordered 3 different power inverters from China earlier this year :

     I live in the Southwestern United States.

   The first one came through Los Angeles, California,  including going through Customs, it arrived 3 days after being shipped.

   Both the second and third came through Customs in New York City,  one spent 2 weeks in Customs, the other spent
    3 Weeks in Customs,  Then they both traveled through very long routes rather than direct routes before finally arriving.

    The merchant that shipped those can not be blamed !    That just happens...

   When Pine sent my extra parts and accessories, they sent them by Postal,  they took a while. 
     They again came in through the New York City Customs, then the long way across the country.

   BUT,   when they shipped my Pinebook Pro,  they delivered it from their China warehouse to the
   DHL office in Hong Kong,    then DHL contacted me on a Thursday morning, and Friday afternoon
   they delivered it,  directly into my waiting hands.

   I am not complaining about the Postal Service, they do fairly well handling Tons of mail everyday.
   
    But I would like to Praise the Pine Team,  for going the extra mile to deliver the PBP's to the DHL office.!
(in Hong Kong )
 
        AND to DHL for delivering my PBP across so many miles  in such a short time  !

           THANK YOU  !

      

Hi

I'm wondering whether it is normal that e.g. this video does not play fluently on the PBP. I've checked and all the hardware acceleration seems to be working. Can anyone confirm whether this is normal or if this video can be played on 1080p 60fps?

I don't see any sign--yes or no--of whether USB OTG will be supported?  I hope to sometimes hang a USB keyboard off the phone.

TIA

Did anyone get a bootsplash working on ayufan's builds instead of the text on the screen? If so, how did you do it?

Hello all here,

I am new with Pine64, had a chat lately with a friend regarding NAS and it's power consumption.

I am thinking about switching from my Synology 713+ NAS to a Pine64 RockPro64-4GB NAS.

My 713+ Synology uses about 40Watt's constant incl. 2 WD RED 3TB HDD's (in RAID).
Seems that the Synolofy HDD's don't fall asleep after some time

Can you guys tell me about your the RockPro64 power consumption as a NAS with 2 HDD's ?

Started reading here:
https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NASCase

Some more questions:
You can connect only one fan on the PCB, in the NAS-case or on the CPU, what do you advise? Or can it run only with the largest heatsink?

As OS OpenMediaVault is suggested, this is best to use or do you have an alternative?
On the Synology (which I only use as Storage and hosting photo's) I use the programm "Photostation", what do you guys prefer to use?

Between my two Synology's I use "Hyper Backup" to sync from one to another.
I believe "Hyper Backup" is a Rsync tool?
Is it possible to Sync from OpenMediaVault to `Synology #2 ?


Thx!

I placed an order for the PineTime on December 9, 2019.  I have not received an order confirmation, an invoice number, a tracking number, or any other communication from Pine64.  The only thing I have is a receipt from PayPal showing I have been charged and a transaction.  Has my order been received? Is there an invoice for it?  Has it been shipped?  I would like some acknowledgement of this purchase!  Thanks.

Hi,
I have bought the Samsung J7 duo a year ago, because it has a removable battery. Now I'm totally excited that there will be a Linux phone using exactly that type of batteries, I have anyway. Just to make sure/verify: those are the same batteries?

Hi Guys,

I couldn't find this anywhere else so I decided to post what I did. Hope it helps. This is not the legit, fully supported VS Code so use at your own risk I guess!

 When will the Pine64 Store have the Pinebook Pro replacement ANSI keyboards available  ?

   (I believe it was mentioned previously,   they could become available in December,
        and  it is about 2/3 of the way through December now)

Any experience with Fedora on Pinebook Pro? Any experience to image with any of the desktop versions from here: https://arm.fedoraproject.org
