                  @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).

                                  #244 I had the wifi disconnect after making a call.
                                  #246 ,,i had to move to a strong signal area to connect cell, after that ,it worked in usuall locations.
                                  Sound quality is good
                                  Screen brightness , set about 3/4 ,( in bright light , difficult to see )
                                  Now to put it on the emmc

                                    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

                                              @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). 😉
