      About the timezone, Bearded1 on UBports TG channel send this :

      sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
      sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York
      

      You can set the timezone using either command and even by choosing Manually in the settings...
      Changes may take some time to be visible.

                    @PINE64 I would like to know how to access, take photos using the integrated cameras.
                    I have had no luck sofar getting either of the cameras to return an image. Post a tutorial or something.
                    Im using either postmarket OS, or Ubuntu touch, depending on which has fewer kernel stability issues at the time.

                      @PINE64 provides the hardware, the community (hence you/us) provides the soft part.
                      Plus this forum is not the best place for your request ; https://forum.pine64.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=121 is more suitable.

                      To try and answer your question, you can find a way to take pictures with postmarketOS here (never tried though) :
                      https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PinePhone_(pine64-pinephone)#Cameras

                      For UT I didn't search more but couldn't find how to do it.

                        For now cameras are listed under 'not working' for UT.

                        See the readme here:

                            I don't see a question here and this is not the thread purpose.
                            Please check the gitlab for opened issues and post yours : https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone/issues?scope=all&utf8=✓&state=opened

                            And try to give more details and check for reproduction.

                            As much as I can, I force myself to reflash with another build which I think worked ; then test.
                            Then reflash with the build I suspect is not working and check again.

                            Sometimes flashing errors occurs... Or I was the problem 😉

                                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)
