I just received my new Pinephone Beta Edition With Convergence Package.
I tried to launch him but after few seconds of loading (with KDE logo, don't know if normal), the Welcome screen freeze and then a strange screen appears : After a series of numbers and letters that i don't understand and a nice "fffffffffff" (the same in my head), all I "understand" is "failed to read Who-Am-I register" (I can share a bad quality photo in a next post if you want).
Sometimes it goes untill wifi connection screen and the keyboard pop up (woaw) but after few seconds this screen appears again or a simple freeze or a black screen, it depends.
Also when I put the charger, it automatically turns on the phone, red then orange led few seconds and after nothing the led turns off (no charge I think) and the telephone crashes as usual.
I tried to do it with and without sim, with and without battery, with or without the charger . I wanted to share it with you before trying something else.
I did'nt found another topic on that subject (my mistake if there is).
I knew that I'll have to learn and be patient with buying this phone but not this soon ^^'
Thank you for your help.

I never tried out Plasma, so I cannot help you with that specific problem, but a very nice thing about the PinePhone is that you can easily try out different operating systems without much effort. So I suggest you flash the newest version of Manjaro Plasma (don't know how outdated the preinstalled version is, progress is fast) or some Phosh distribution (e. g. Mobian, that seems to be one of the most stable ones) to an SD card and see if that works better. This way you have an up to date system from the beginning and you can see what you like best (or what works best). More on how to flash an OS to an SD card or also the internal memory can be found in the wiki.
