    Selling first batch Pandora

    I just listed it on eBay and it occured to me that not so many people in the wide world will know what I'm talking about. Maybe someone here is interested in something to tide you over till Pyra ships? https://www.ebay.com/itm/324177950617 It's pre-loved, but with a new battery. Details/pics...

    Lcd Turning On When Lid Is Closed

    I can indeed. I'd already reproduced having the light on when closed by waggling the lid a bit, and I've just managed to have it stay off when open. I'd assumed it was something like this, but do you think it would work to just have all the events fire triggers? Since the lid script takes some...

    Lcd Turning On When Lid Is Closed

    All good thoughts. I did check dmesg and it's definitely not low power mode. And as for that; I don't know about you, but my Pandora when closed and in low power mode takes 4-5 secs to open and come out of sleep. Which annoyed me more than a 20% saving was worth. With or without an extra 20%, I...

    Lcd Turning On When Lid Is Closed

    I'm not putting it to sleep. I came to the conclusion that it saved me almost no battery and meant that I had to wait longer to use it when I wanted to. It seems to be getting worse for me, has happened 5 times this morning already. And I always keep it in my pocket. There's really no room in...

    Lcd Turning On When Lid Is Closed

    Oh no, it's not rebooted. I'd be much more worried if it did that in my pocket. It's just that the light turns on. I've done some experimenting with it and I can also reproduce this by very quickly opening the lid a fraction and closing it. I'd be very surprised if it was opening in my pocket...

    Lcd Turning On When Lid Is Closed

    Has anyone else seen this? Occasionally, when I pull the Pandora out of my pocket, it feels a little warmer and I can see (through the slightly lifted left side :) ) that the screen backlight is on. It's not a huge deal, but it depletes the battery faster than I'd like. Presumably there is...

    Smaller Battery

    Very interesting, thanks. I guess I agree it wouldn't necessarily be worth it at this point, but this is good stuff to know.

    Smaller Battery

    Getting the obvious objections out of the way first: Pandora's big battery is awesome and the kind of battery life that we are seeing for continual usage is great. There are tons of reasons why someone might not want to consider having a smaller battery and reducing that. This is a given...

    Pandora will not power on

    Thanks so much guys; urjaman's method in the thread above has indeed done the trick. Awesome. I was all resigned to send it back again, but I guess the Pandora truly is unbrickable. It's currently charging up and I'm applying HF4 again, so hopefully no issues this time. It's taking a very long...

    Pandora will not power on

    Hi, I've seen a couple of issues relating to units not booting or powering on. I seem to have a slightly different problem to ones mentioned in other threads so I thought I'd see if anyone has any ideas before I totally give up on this Pandora unit. This is a replacement unit that I just...

    Guide: Mobile Broadband Usb Stick Usage

    I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere trying to get this to work, so it's pretty hit and miss, and I haven't been able to download modemmanager yet. I'm stuck at the very first step. When I lsusb I just get the two hubs - I'm using a uk '3' dongle which is a Huawei E169 - it's definitely USB 2 and...

    Release Remmina 0.7.5

    My wife is PROFOUNDLY unimpressed by my Pandora, but last night I managed to get a "OK that's quite cool" out of her with Remmina. Our TV is a Linux box with a big screen running MythTV (HTPC = Home Theater PC) and I showed her that I could use the Pandora to control that and load up a HULU show...

    Release Beat2X 0.5 Released

    I was just about to post that the same thing was happening to me - I'd load Beat2x, hit Start and it would crash. Then on a whim I changed the mode to Practice and it just worked. Give it a try, you never know your luck... ;) I figured it was just me, because that was where Beat2x always used...
