    • RE: File Sharing

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

    • RE: can't reinstall Ubuntu touch on MX4 Meizu-Ubuntu edition

      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...

    • RE: PineTab

      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.

      @theare27 I can't believe it, I just checked and mine is arriving today too, I expected it in a couple of days. Next day delivery from China to the UK - wow.

    • 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?

    • Copying notifications and ringtones to the PinePhone

      Well I got my PhinePhone the other day and one of the first things I wanted to do was copy some files to it so I decided to copy my custom notifications and ringtones to it just like I did with my first Ubuntu Touch device all those years ago.

      No MTP? OK, I thought, and after searching for what to do I set up ssh to the PinePhone.

      Then connected to the PinePhone
      ssh phablet@[IPAddress]
      Made a location to put the files

      mkdir /home/phablet/Downloads/Ringtones
      

      Then used scp from my linux computer to the temproary location as scp did not have permissions to write to the pertinent locations directly.

      scp "/home/[user]/Documents/PinePhone/ringtones/[filename].ogg" phablet@[IPAddress]:/home/phablet/Downloads/Ringtones/[filename].ogg
      
      scp "/home/[user]/Documents/PinePhone/ringtones/[filename].ogg" phablet@[IPAddress]:/home/phablet/Downloads/Ringtones/[filename].ogg
      

      Back on the Pinephone via ssh
      Made the device rewritable

      sudo mount -o remount,rw /
      

      Copied the files to the relevant locations

      sudo cp /home/phablet/Downloads/Ringtones/[filename].ogg /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/notifications/[filename].ogg
      
      sudo cp /home/phablet/Downloads/Ringtones/[filename].ogg /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones/[filename].ogg
      

      Not working? - check file permissions

      chmod 644 /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/notifications/[filename].ogg
      
      chmod 644 /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/ringtones/[filename].ogg
      

      I now have my favourite sounds for my notifications and ringtone.
      Next thing is to copy some music and videos and test them out.

      I am sure that there must be a better way, if there is just let me know...

    • RE: Dekko2 account creation issues

      I just got my PinePhone and Dekko2 was one of the first apps I tried. I have the same issue - I can't create a new account.

    • RE: can't reinstall Ubuntu touch on MX4 Meizu-Ubuntu edition

      I hope that you manage, everything that I tried on mine would not work.
      I will keep an eye on this thread in case something else is suggested the I might try.

    • RE: Ubuntu touch libraries

      I think that you will have to investigate libertine and desktop apps for running linux programs other than those which are available in the OpenStore.

    • RE: Looking for offline map app

      I was happily using OsmScout myself until recently trying to update the maps. I have England and Scotland but deleted Wales while trying to download others.
      Would it be possible for users to copy their existing possibly not entirely up to date maps to each other until we get an alternative?

    • RE: Is dual boot still possible?

      @dobey I was thinking that an APK could be installed over a network?
      No SSH as I can't set that up without USB connection... can I?
      Device still charges but I cannot connect well enough to run the UBPorts installer.

    • RE: Is dual boot still possible?

      @kugiigi Off topic, but I was interested in you saying " if you know how to modify an APK, you can change the server to UBports instead of the old Canonical server."
      Would that allow an old Ubuntu Touch device without working USB to be converted from Canonical to UBports?
