  • Auto-Rotate function and manual rotate
  • Welcome wizard for easy setup of the device
  • We have now a working Torch in the quick-access-menu
  • Prime phone functions working, including resume from deep-sleep and free speaking
  • Recording of audio works
  • Most applications got added to scale-to-fit
  • Haptic feedback functions are given
  • Optimized keyboard layout for terminal
  • Maps working with geolocate
  • Volume buttons working
  • Sensors fully functional
  • Easy access to Bluetooth, Wlan, Rotate and Mobile functions via quick settings
  • Default branch is arm-stable. This can be changed by editing /etc/pacman-mirrors.conf
  • usage of callaudiod for better audio experience with calls
  • This image uses a Crust enabled uboot (Pinephone only)

Changes since Beta 33

A detailed list of package changes can be found here.

Currently broken:

  • GPS may not work as it should

Known issues

  • xdg-desktop-portal-gnome gets installed as a dependency when you updated from Beta32. Remove it as applications may start slower than needed.
  • During a Call the Mic can’t be muted on Pinephone and PinephonePro
  • UI becomes unresponsive after a while.
  • Doing a recording may result in noisy audio savings
  • Lots of apps are still missing or are not mobile friendly yet.

About the device:
PinePhone:
Perhaps you’re in a line of work where security is a must, or a hard-core Linux enthusiast, or perhaps you’ve just got enough of Android and iOS and you’re ready for something else – the PinePhone may be the next Phone for you. Powered by the same Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 64-Bit SOC used in our popular PINE A64 Single Board Computer, the PinePhone runs mainline Linux as well as anything else you’ll get it to run.

The purpose of the PinePhone isn’t only to deliver a functioning Linux phone to end-users, but also to actively create a market for such a device, as well as to support existing and well established Linux-on-Phone projects. All major Linux Phone-oriented projects, as well as other FOSS OS’, are represented on the PinePhone and developers work together on our platform to bring support this this community driven device.

Order

Pinephones Beta Edition are still on stock. Visit the Pine64 Store

How to install:

After that, install Etcher (sudo pacman -S etcher if on Manjaro) and burn the to an SD card (8 GB or larger).

The PinePhone should recognize the SD card as a bootable device and boot from it.

Hi, Philm,

Thanks for the heads up.
I’m trying to update from the previous version (Sun Jul 2 10:32:12 UTC 2023) and the package manager sees the update (1,8 MB) but seems that after synchronizing database and downloading Megapixels it fails on checking its integrity or at the next step after that. A pop-up window says:

Error
Failed to commit transaction

invalid or corrupted package (PGP s

Tried restarting the device and applying again but without luck. Pinephone Manjaro edition here.

Any clue?

here is something i never saw before, perhaps because i was not looking what happens after clicking restart.

WIth PP things look really good :slight_smile:

With PPP I think kernel is missing something. Every time I try to call my PPP while it is suspended the modem drops. Happens 10/10. With biktorgjs firmware and recommended settings & also with stock firmware.
This does not happen in danct arch so I did give a shot to their kernel and downloaded it and headers from here: aarch64
And installed them. And it did the trick. Now PPP wakes up and gets the call.
How ever there is still this issue which makes PPP unusable as a phone if you don’t have it on charger all the time:
Incoming call while suspended reduces the volume of the microphone considerably (Pinephone Pro) (#2016) · Issues · postmarketOS / pmaports · GitLab
