Plugged it into power, installed postmarketos.
Wifi through phosh doesn't seem to be doing anything.
I popped off the back, and there's no battery.
I'm not supposed to have ordered a battery separately, right?
Nope, there should be a battery supplied. I know they had issues sending "naked batteries" (batteries by themselves), but that shouldn't affect you. It wasn't hidden somewhere in the box was it? If you're desperate, go here: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php?title=...ne#Battery and source one locally that will fit. And obviously contact the sales support team.
I took pictures of the unboxing, so I had a nice clean area. I double checked the box, shipping box, inside. There was a piece of tape where I think it should have been, but just sitting there. The battery bay is definitely empty.. I can see the contacts where it would connect.
I emailed support.
I believe this is why wifi probably won't work for me ... not enough power to supply the radio.
