Resolution Problem!
-
I’m not sure what happened, but my Pine Phone changed to a ridiculously tiny resolution during one of the last updates. I seriously don’t know what happened to it, and it’s driving me nuts. All the buttons are tiny!

@joelandsonja Use UT Tweak Tool from Open Store, open it and where is the Scaling, set it to 14 aprox. It will take some time after reboot, that's ok.

@c0n57an71n - I appreciate the help! Any idea why this happened?

@joelandsonja It's the update itself who's at fault, but that's normal as PP is still a WOP. More technical details can only the developer give, but "weird" behaviour will happen with the next updates for sure. It's a learning process for all Linux community in regards of PP.

This has been discussed on the telegram group and someone suggested a workaround while the issue still exists.

So I took a look at that code, though I don't know c++ well, but it looks like it is a case sensitivity issue. The detected name is "pine64 pinephone (1.2)" but the name in pinephone.yaml is "Pine64 PinePhone (1.2)" I edited /etc/deviceinfo/devices/pinephone.yaml to match the case of the detected name and device info is now showing the correct device information. It is odd since the detected name is purposely lowercased here: https://gitlab.com/ubports/core/deviceinfo/-/blob/main/src/config.cpp#L65 and that change was from a long time ago, so I'm not sure why it is causing a problem now and not before. Someone else may already be fixing the problem
