Per the instructions of pinephone, it was stated that they will send you a new sim/sd card holder if you send your order number and a picture of the card to "pinephone support". Have done that and no response that they will send a new card or that they even acknowledge receipt of my request. Sent more than a month ago.
I admit that I took the picture myself and did not take phone to repair shop. I'm not paying $100 to get a repair shop to send a picture. I might pay them to install the part later but so far no progress on getting the part. I might even install a new PPP board if those are ever available on PPP parts site.
So, anyone yet received a replacement sim/sd card holder as promised by pinephone?
thanks, tom kosvic
My sim card holder was busted as well. One of the pins had broken off. I took it to a repair shop my son suggested to me and 1 day later fixed for $25.00
Works fine now so I suggest if it is at all repairable by your local shop consider this cheap but excellent cost fix.
That stated I have done all the updates possible including towboot and quite a few things are fixed. The problem still remains that the output sound is seriously low regardless of speaker / internal setting and volume maxed out. Also the device still wants to sleep and >sometimes< requires a hard boot. Based on this and the fact that I use documents (important) etc not a reliable device at this time. PP Convergence is still my daily device with 100% reliability and I consider this device to be Pine64's "flagship"
Would you be able to get the part number and name for the item your repair guy installed and post it here? Might break the broken sim/sd card log jam.
Good job. My PP works infinitely better than my PPP which doesn't make calls. I use that also.
