        @Flohack Apologies for posting this here. I have tried to register on the gitlab site but so far it is refusing my registration. On there, issue # 78 shows a picture of vertical lines running down the phone. I had that for a bit, but now, with download 280, or thereabouts, they are visible (though faint), but only on the login screen. The screen flickers a lot too. Just posting as Dalton said on the ticket that no-one else had reported a similar issue with their Braveheart. Sorry, image not the best.

        No longer the case since about #290

          Hello,

          I had Ubunto touch running with a February 8th image, I just tried flashing the latest one (April 18th ) and it does not boot. Are there known issue with latest build ? Is there one from a particular date I should try. I flashed the old image from Feb 8th and it did boot fine.

          Thank you,

          Alexandre

                The wifi drivers has many issues.
                Have a look at gitlab there is a ticket and a workaround this issue.

                  I tried the usuall things then decided to flash #310 to emmc , but it would not recognise mmcblk0 and ssh would not connect.
                  So I tried Jumpdrive, on an sdcard and #310 .img from my PC , very simple ,what was all the fuss about .
                  Worth testing ,if you have not tried it.
                  (From #306 )

                          i have not been able to use the phone "network " i have reset APN`s , on reboot they are gone, or i cannot get the check mark to stay there.

                              Hi
                              I installed build #8 and #9 to an sdcard, it's really hard to boot to the OS I had to try tens of time to pass the "get started"...
                              Did you have the same issue ?
                              And out of curiosity how did you put the OS to the eMMC ? Using dd or other ?

                                I just flashed #9 to the emmc this morning and I must say the OS is looking much better.I haven't touched the phone for a month but progress has clearly been made.

                                Nice work devs!

                                  @AppLee the first time /emmc/ #7 on my pc ,extracted, and jumpdrive on sdcard , connected to pc then started pinephone, and used Balena-etcher to install ,takes 18 minutes ,because of the size.
                                  2nd time #8 onto sdcard using Balena-etcher , because i couldnt get the sim / apn to work and didnt want to mess with the emmc

                                  used OTA function to upgrade #7 on emmc to #9 ( worked a treat ),
                                  whilst changing sources ,it started downloading ,i could not see the download indicator immediately, once i did , i left it alone.

                                  if you use jumpdrive for another OS, may be better to adjust the size, before you start

                                        @Marathon2422 said in Pinephone (braveheart):

                                        I have not due to the poor battery life. I need a phone so my OPO has the sim card.

                                        This switch to OTA updates makes me more willing to try as I didn't want to reset my settings every update.

                                          i just got phone and messaging working, the screen that asks if you want 2g/3g .or 2g/3g/4g/ i left that alone ,did not set anything - checked the reseller/reseller- apn without changes and entered apn for internet/mms . and checked that. now it works" sometimes the signal strength meter is empty with a cross / or is completely full, but still works.
                                          i usually get about a third strength reading
                                          but it works now
                                          i have not tried pics yet.

                                          BH and # 13 on sdcard

                                            todays update to sdcard (#14 ) failed to install. tried a reboot after being stuck at 1/3rd of install indicator for a long time , black screen only now .
                                            download #14 and reflash now.
                                            anyone else ?

                                              I just tried to flash #17 to emmc using JumpDrive (as explained on the pine64 wiki) and BalenaEtcher. Balean checked the image and said everything went fine but I have a black screen with only the led turning red when I power on. @mariusbfs are the current builds for pinephone broken?
