    • Huawei/Google on social media etc. Opportunity to promote UBports?

      I have made a few comments on posts about the issues that people are expecting with the news about Google and Huawei, basically suggesting the people look into using UBports Ubuntu Touch instead.

      Just wondering if this is a good opportunity to promote UBports as people may be getting disillusioned by both Google and Chinese manufacturers OS for their devices?

    • RE: PineTab

      I just got a notification from DHL that my PineTab has shipped.

      At this point in time what should we expect of the functionality of the PineTab?

      Looking at https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone and https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PineTab I can't see much general info on how to start using it...

      Do we have to boot from SD card?

      Is this the best place to get builds?

    • RE: Meizu Pro5 speaker issue - no sound

      @advocatux Next time I need to do this I will just use the @zsoltmd method fridge (no freezer) for 2-3 minutes to be safe. Batteries can always be replaced but best not to risk it.

      @Stefano said in Meizu Pro5 speaker issue - no sound:

      @halucigenia I had my hands on 3 Meizu Pro 5 and none had such an issue, so my guess is a hardware - loose connection/oxidation on contacts. Nor I had an issue with the phones with Flyme or Resurection Remix. It's rather easy to pry open and try to clear, maybe you give it a go.

      I was thinking of doing this, opening it up and cleaning, especially since I now understand the it must be a fault with the top earpiece speaker.
      But, I could not get any of my precision screwdrivers to drive the two screws either side of the USB port. Then I realised, they're pentalobe screws like on iPhones. So I have ordered a suitable driver, I hope the screw heads are not now mashed.

      The earpiece speaker is also available as a spare part for a reasonable price, so if cleaning it up does not work I could replace it.

    • RE: Meizu Pro5 speaker issue - no sound

      @mlinodasilva said in Meizu Pro5 speaker issue - no sound:

      or putting in loud speaker mode. Pretty annoying, and it must be a software bug since using the phone in loudspeaker mode does work.

      What do you mean by "putting in loud speaker mode", how do you put it into and take it out of "loud speaker mode"? Maybe that is what is happening to me, I am only getting sounds when it is in "loud speaker mode" but I am not consciously "putting it in loud speaker mode"?

      So, I am now wondering, does the top earpiece speaker for voice calls just not work on the Pro5 in UBPorts Ubuntu Touch, would it require a software fix, or is it a fixable hardware fault?

      Maybe something could be done about it if it is a common problem in all Pro5s?

      I have seen some mods on XDA for Pro5s regarding the speakers:-

      Stereo speaker MOD
      and
      Meizu PRO 5 Volume Editor(Root needed). Stereo speakers configuration

      Maybe those are worth looking into?

      @Stefano said in Meizu Pro5 speaker issue - no sound:

      @halucigenia try uVolMan app from OpenStore, you can manually set the volume levels.

      Thanks, after fiddling about with it some more the speaker volume came back. I don't know what it was that fixed it. uVolMan might help if it happens again, I have installed it now.

      @Yuri to transfer files you can use the WifiTransfer app from the OpenStore. You can also set up SSH.

      Well done, my MX4 is still stuck on Canonical Ubuntu Touch. I will have to have a go with antix linux.

    • RE: PineTab

      @andybleaden I ran sudo alsamixer and noted that the headphones were set to mute (MM) also but unmute did not bring the headphone up on the PineTab.
      re-"Uart/Headphone switch (next to SC Card slot)"
      So, that was what I thought was the SD card write protect switch? 🙄
      The headphones started working after switching that back upwards.
      This trick works on the PinePhone too.
      Plugging in the headphones does not mute the speakers though and you have to mute the line out to mute the speakers in alsamixer to do that.

    • RE: PineTab

      Got a couple of Kingston Canvas Select Plus microSD Card SDCS2/64 GB SP Class 10 to test with.
      Worked fine and formatted OK on the PinePhone.
      The PineTab booted OK with it in and recognised it but would not format it. I got "There was an error while formatting the device.
      I noticed a small switch next to the SD slot so i changed the position - switched it down towards the bottom of the tablet and rebooted. It still booted OK and formatted the device.
      Did I just find the SD card write protect switch?

    • RE: PineTab

      The PineTab had UBPorts Ubuntu Touch installed and no updates were available on the stable channel.
      The device connected to wifi no trouble.
      Morph Browser works OK to access the web - Youtube videos played but the sound was a bit disappointing.
      No sound through headphones and Bluetooth headphones not connecting.
      Updating to dev now...

      Checking my bluetooth headhones on my PinePhone on dev shows that they are working. I will switch to the dev channel. And
      I see that the PinePhone is just getting an update on dev too.
