Lost Ethernet
#1
I am hoping someone can lead me in the correct direction here. I have had my Pine for quite a while now and I use it almost exclusively for KODI and it's been working great! However, after watching some TV two nights ago, I attempted to watch today and was met with no Ethernet connection. I am connected to the switch which is working fine, and the Pine works great when I boot up my Ubuntu Mate, but with the Android image, I have zero connection options.

I am not an Android guy myself, so I am not all too familiar with the ins and outs of the OS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which particular Android image are you using?

Thanks

Ghost, I am running Android version 5.1.1, kernel 3.10.65

Any help would be great. I intended on hooking up the wireless module which I have never used and see if that works, I am pretty sure it will, but I would love to solve this issue without a re-image if I can.

Thanks again.

Have you tried burning an Android 5.1.1 image to a different microSD card?

I'm assuming this is a software issue since you say you have no network issues with Ubuntu Mate.

Could possibly be a corrupted microSD... which particular card are you using? And how are you shutting down/powering off the system?

Looks like switching between android and linux can 'break' the ethernet connection... Did you try after resetting or unpluging/repluging your modem?

I'm not sure that is the case. Each OS is self-contained on a separate microSD, so they can't really influence each other in any way. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're suggesting?

i've wondered about that myself as if i used a powered hub for instance , the board is in a powered state of some sort as evidenced by the power light remaining on even after the o/s terminates. because of this, i've wondered if some settings remain energized for lack of better definition. i have no idea if it happens. i've just wondered about it.

Can I just get a confirmation of if this is with or without a battery connected, what OS, and what sort shutdown command used? Also, I'm presuming the hub is connected to something that then plugs into the pine64s USB port(s)?

When the pine64 is plugged into a external supply via just the microUSB or euler power connections, when I shut down linux using sudo shutdown -h or sudo poweroff the main power light goes off and stays off. If I have a battery connected as well as main power, it shuts down and immediately powers itself back up (which is annoying as it isn't what I told it to do!) - so since I have a battery connected to it most of the time, I have to pull the battery before shutting it down. If the battery only is connected, it shuts down without any issue. I didn't notice any lingering power on states when I was trying the Android 5.1.1 builds, but I didn't play with them for long. I haven't used a (externally powered) USB hub to power the pine64, but I'm guessing that some power is bleeding back via the USB host ports - whether this is keeping parts of the pine64 circuitry powered up and mucking things up I don't know.
