PinePhone

PINE64

Today's build brings many new improvements to the PinePhone, including performance and the modem automatically starting at boot (as well as auto-rotating the display - although I haven't gotten that working just yet).

If this would help anyone i made a small script to decrease the power draw of the pinephone until it would be adjusted in th main repo....

#!/bin/bash

loadAVG=$(cat /proc/loadavg  | awk '{print $1}')
threshold=1
highthreshold=3
status=$( echo "$loadAVG > $threshold" | bc )
highstatus=$( echo "$loadAVG > $highthreshold" | bc )

echo $status

if [ $status -gt 0 ]; then
        if [ $highstatus -gt 0 ]; then
                echo "performance" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
        else
                echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
        fi
else 
        echo "powersave" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
fi

I've placed it in crontab at adjust the governor every minute not ideal but it does help alittle...

(you do have to install 'bc' for it to work : sudo apt install bc)

@PINE64 I would like to know when the pinephone can be purchased again and with which capacities of 2gb-16 or 3gb-64

PINE64

@ricardo65 We'll have some announcements coming soon

AppLee

That's how you make a teaser @PINE64
Can't wait !

@AppLee Yes, that's the kind of answer that's probably going to drive people crazy (especially if they're confined to their homes like so many people in the world).

ricardo65

@PINE64 We'll be waiting. Thank you very much.

So you're saying we should stand by for the 8GB/256GB Rockchip version?

@Marathon2422 I went to the site to buy the community pinephone and it only comes out to pay with paypal.no you can pay with normal credit card ?

@ricardo65 I believe you can pay with normal credit card on the paypal site It should be an option located under the area where you are prompted to sign in to Paypal.

ricardo65

@Loops I'm back on the site and I've reached the end and it only comes out with paypal.it would be good if this could be cleared up because everybody doesn't have paypal

8GB/256GB with a 1080p or 1440p screen would be so gosh darn nice, but I think that might be to dreamy!
