I thinks > beeps < when is booting a pinephone is unnatural.

Version 4.4 is out, but the PinePhone Beta port is on 4.3 with a old 5.17 kernel.

I installed Sailfish in eMMC, then it worked well for few time, but MAYBE after install many apps
and later restart the phone, the pinephone the not boot any more.
I still not have a JACK-SERIAL-CABLE to debugging the pinephone.
Just reporting ---

Fresh install today
Set up google account
I can receive emails
I get a notification
I get the first few lines in the home screen
I can open the email app
I can see the emails I receive
I can open the emails
There is no text to read other that the title/sender

With the 5.6 kernel, USB oTG is enabled and mostly works well. RNDIS and MTP both work, but with rndis, the sailfish firewall doesnt allow connetions. A workaround is to issue an iptables command to allow connections.

I flashed the latest version of Sailfish for my PinePhone and I found that no audio was playing at all.

I don't have any logs currently, but I will follow instructions to get them.

On the PinePhone Beta after selecting yes on the encryption prompt I notice that whenever the pull-down menus are shown, or the keyboard is shown for text input, the UI lags and becomes unusable.

Unfortunately I got no sound at all with the current (and slightly older ones as well)

This line fails because there is no card 1, only card 0

the second part of that script fails as well, here is some output:

What are you doing in PMOS ?? @DylanVanAssche : )

Contacts that have an international code +XXX but are local to me do not connect. I get a recording saying the number is incorrect. Foreign numbers get the same message.
If I dial a number and try to 'cancel' the call before it answers it continues anyway. The 'end call' button works correctly.

Boots up
Red light
White light
No bootsplash (unlike first boot on install)
Terminal
Then a spinning circle
Can swipe down
Can swipe up for camera
No Home screen presented
Not got a pin code

Fix seems to be a side swipe - others getting this?

Need to keep updating mesa to check for improvements.
Glass effects not working
Particle effects not working

While turning on persistent JournalD to solve my problem, I noticed an unrelated warning message in early boot:

PinePhonePro kernel: Malformed early option 'console'

And indeed in the boot.pinephonepro.cmd source code of the boot script:

setenv bootargs loglevel=4 console=tty0 console=ttyS2,1500000 console=${console}

I presume, the initial intent was to do something along the lines of:

setenv console=tty0 console=ttyS2,1500000
setenv bootargs loglevel=4 console=tty0 console=ttyS2,1500000 console=${console}

Can not install some Jolla store apps like ' Tiding ' in pinephone.

Would anyone have any quick suggestions for a direction for me to take on troubleshooting and fixing MMS on this image? The hardware adaptation guide doesn't say anything about MMS. I've compiled mmsd and while it seems to hook up to ofono via dbus, it doesn't see any MMS messages I send the phone, unlike other distros like Arch where it sees it but dies trying to get the messages from the MMSC. I'm imagining there's another process that is getting them first but failing to put them in the messaging app, or the messaging app itself (proprietary, right?) is failing.

Switch automatically to headset when plugged in

It is better to disable the camera sensor when booting to prevent unwanted noise and prevent Tearing of the optical sensor ATM.

Hi all,
I have a Pinephone 1.2 Community Edition, I lately tested Sailfish OS that is great if compared to others (Mobian, Manjaro, SXMO) in making the battery last all day that was the biggest problem I had in 2 years of testing. Now my problem is about mobile data that don’t work at all after boot. I discovered that restarting ofono data start to work flawlessly but after that I can’t receive calls because phone turns on the screen that start flickering at the same frequency of ring tone on the calling phone but doesn’t show the controls to answer.
I noticed that via command line I can answer but there’s no audio at all. I tried restarting connman and eg25-manager but nothing works. I also tried to restart audio service but no luck. The only way to make it work again is reboot.
Remembering I had similar problem with other systems too I tried to update eg25 firmware from 01.002 to 30.006 but nothing changed. I noticed that when problem happens this error shows in logs: connmand [ofono] ERROR! GDBus.Error:org.ofono.Error.NotImplemented: Implementation not provided. I tried to restart dbus but it makes the phone unusable, no desktop, no icons, the only way to go is reboot. After reboot without restarting ofono calls are correctly handled without problems.
Anybody else experienced this behaviour? Any idea to solve?
Thanks to community and developers.

PS
Sailfish OS 4.5.0.24 (Struven ketju)
kernel: Linux PinePhone 6.5.0-pgz-pine64

When in suspend the display lights up every ? minutes and tells me about connection problems. Also mobian seems to discharge slower when suspended.

After waking up from suspend it takes a quite long time till it reconnects to wifi (half a minute?)

there was the following comment on pine64-dev:

smaeul

there are a bunch of power-related parameters in /sys/module/8723cs/parameters/ you can try adjusting, as well as a suspicious-looking rtw_scan_interval_thr, which is 16000 (16 seconds?)

Eko
Cut the value by a factor of 10 and wifi connected way faster after sleep. Would this affect battery life though, or does it not scan while connected?

My PinePhone was modified for improved eMMC speed with eMMC VCCQ hardware modification. In postmarketOS all that is needed to make it work is to install a package. Similarly, in Arch Linux ARM DanctNIX two files need to be copied to the boot partition. If this is already working, this report is a reminder to add instructions to the wiki.

Need to get the vaapi backend for the codec.

I've encountered an issue where I'm unable to connect to WiFi networks anymore. I am not exactly sure what happened, but I was previously able to connect just fine, and then now I cannot connect to any. No connection seems to work, and all Sailfish says is that there was an error connecting. Forgetting the network and reconnecting does not work, neither does rebooting.

Presumably there's somewhere I can dig into the log files for internet connectivity. Where to start looking?

I just want to know if YOU have the PinePhone CE or BH to port SF as well, if missing, to get one for you.
Thanks of advance

Several issues exist with the sound configuration, mainly that the volume control doesnt work and the meego volume plugin causes a crash in PA

The big picture is that libcamera talks to the sun6i_csi and the camera drivers. It also provides a gstreamer source. This source can then be used by the normal sfos camera app.

Issues:

• flash driver is broken, needs to be disabled in dts: sailfish-on-dontbeevil/kernel-megi@9429f77 thanks @piggz

• libcamera as packaged by mal crashes due to (?) gnutls patch (workaround: set HAVE_GNUTLS to 0 in libcamera/meson.build)

• missing firmware files: dmesg:

[ 1369.125711] ov5640 3-004c: ov5640_af_init: no autofocus firmware available (ov5640_af.bin)
[ 1369.125730] ov5640 3-004c: ov5640_set_ctrl_focus: no autofocus firmware loaded

and

[ 1580.581516] sun6i-csi 1cb0000.csi: Direct firmware load for gc2145-init.bin failed with error -2
[ 1580.581531] gc2145 3-003c: Failed to read firmware gc2145-init.bin, continuing anyway...

Update: gc2145-init.bin is not needed (thanks MartijnBraam)

for more see https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/hw5ZVpB2cr/

• kernel driver for sun6i_csi is missing a feature:

"[0:26:20.623064785] [4767] ERROR V4L2 v4l2_videodevice.cpp:988 /dev/video0[cap]: Media bus code filtering not supported by the device" is an issue that needs to be solved
see commit d5f74a1eff9aef3ba23673c8ef74719ba8a105f7 in the mainline kernel for an example
( torvalds/linux@d5f74a1 )

will need to be added here: https://github.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/kernel-megi/blob/9429f77dc7e252a99f11cd0613913e5634a2e981/drivers/media/platform/sunxi/sun6i-csi/sun6i_video.c#L708
