@heng
That is not a priority.
Once most phone features are working there will be work to do on that topic.
But as far as I know the driver for USB-C display is not even ready for the kernel. -
@AppLee Does any other device have external display support other than the old nexus 5?

For those with BH phones - if you want to try out location services and provide feedback, then here's the instructions

Hello,
Did anyone received PinePhone UBports Community Edition ? I'm curious if they started to ship it the customers. I didn't get any info regarding shipping yet.
-
@tricky Nobody received them yet. They will ship out in May or June. Shipping will likely take a month, without customs delays or customs issues. Practice patience.

Hi @PINE64
For the Volla Phone, we are informed on Indiegogo of the number of phones that have been "ordered" at time t.
Could you do the same for the Pinephone on your site? That would be interesting.
Depending on whether or not you wish to make a distinction between the categories.
Or do you consider these indicators to be confidential for you? -
@domubpkm Indeed, number of sold pieces is indicated. However this value might concern all Volla versions, and not only UT OS edition. (I guess)

@PhoenixLandPirat I'm intrigued now to see the box design created by our own @CiberSheep Any clues?
-
@PhoenixLandPirat It looks like TAGADA PINK Pinphone lasagna !

@PINE64 Beautiful. Thoroughly well done @CiberSheep

@PINE64
Got mine today, very nice presentation -
Hi,
I would like to ask you for a help.
My PinePhone UBports edition does not boot the OS - the PINE64 logo is displayed but then there is only black backlit screen and nothing happends for even 10 minutes. With power up button when starting the phone I get ubports logo with installing updates message. WIll I need to reflash the emmc or how should I proceed?
Thanks

@Andrisk Sounds like it got stuck on the update. Try this https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=10130

@rocket2nfinity That fixed the problem. There were some orphaned inodes found by e2fsck so that was exactly the problem you suggested. Thanks a lot.

Finally got mine too
If i compare it to my previous OPO then i have to admit that bacon image was really mature and besides MMS issue everything worked there like a charm. With PinePhone we are just at the beginning of this road but i think that it should take less time to fix all issues due to growing number of Pinephone users with UBports onboard.
I think that was a good choice -
The current state of progress of the Community Edition of the Pinephone reminds me a little of the beginnings of the BQ 4.5 ubuntu when it was first put on the market. The BQ 4.5 has made steady progress to become a good phone : let's hope that this will be the case for the Pinephone but much faster : for it not be obsolete by the time it is working properly....
-
@domubpkm Considering that the community edition is actively aimed at those seeking to contribute to the project, and that it is currently being shipped to thousands of tech enthusiasts world wide, I'd say there's a good chance things will happen a lot quicker. Watching from the outside I think things started moving very fast even with the release of Braveheart. Really looking forwards to seeing what people come up with in the first few weeks of owning CE devices.
With BQ I guess a lot more of the consumer base bought it expecting a finished product, rather than something they could contribute to themselves.

The "community" of the many professional canonical developers was very involved as long as the port of UT on BQ phones was on their roadmap: however, nothing was easy to achieve properly functional cell phones. After that the UBports enthusiasts took over the work on their own in a VERY GREAT WAY.
Indeed many pinephones of the community edition have surely been sold to competent enthusiasts (in addition to the owners of the other editions) who will want the phone to become functional in a stable way soon : and it will have to be.
At this stage, the superb packaging totally convinces me !
