    Assembly restart. Software work. And maybe our next SoC?

    @Djhg2000 I have the pp (non pro). Does the new soc make a huge difference? Is the emmc faster? I was thinking to upgrade but for me the pp is more a toy than anything else. I am currently not brave enough to daliy drive it. It would daily drive me crazy ;) Did they fix the hardware bugs (screen...

    Assembly restart. Software work. And maybe our next SoC?

    The keyboard for the pinephone has a lot of issues (at least my model). First of, most keys on the top row does not register on normal presses. You have to press very hard (can't really do this while typing on a table). Then the escape key and I think maybe also the tab key, get stuck (this...

    Assembly restart. Software work. And maybe our next SoC?

    Inside the win the PCB stack touches the battery, they are squeezed next to each other in tight case. I think the CPU ist set to 7W tdp. Using a tiny fan which is nearly completely blocked if the device sits on a table. You can only have to options: - power - compact size - battery that don't...

    It is funny how the pyra is the device with a flame on its back, when in reality the win2 would a better candidate to spit out fire ;)

    Assembly restart. Software work. And maybe our next SoC?

    The battery on my win2 also swollen and had to be replaced. I put the old battery away and forgot to recylce it. When I rembered again it looked like a balloon that was about to burst! Still like the win2, I also have a pinephone with keyboard. That keyboard is nearly unusable :( The win is way...

    Can you create a fresh bootable (mirco)SD. To check if its a software problem?

    I never thought about using one if these services. I have to look at their pricing. But we used them at the company a worked for to get some prototype case's. The quality was nice, it had like a mate surface as if the case was build from some plastic powder or so.

    Pyra Mods

    That was the idea I had, also you can buy the original contact used under the pyra PCB as ed published the part list. I don't know if it is easier to just buy one universal charger if I would find one. But if I had a 3D printer this would be nice. I could even sand it fill in all holes and spray...

    I have not seen such a charger in a long time, but I remeber that some of those chargers had slideable pogo pings to fit all types of bateries. Maybe there are some on ebay that fit. Always having a full baterie just waiting is a nice thing and gives me peace of mind. Not sure if you charged...

    Pyra Mods

    If I had a 3D printer I would print a charge dock for the batteries. Like a toaster or so, where you slot in the batteries from the top so that they align with the connector (the part can be found in the bill of material, that ed published). Maybe you can pause the print insert the connector...

    @Robert Taylor The keyboard is actually quit usable. You do not want to write an essay on it. But for some small commands or a quick E-Mail replay its good enough that I would not go to the hassle to connect it to a keyboard, even wenn one is laying next to it. As this is often the case wenn I...

    Thats is oft course a good point. I worked for a company where we where developing an embedded an linux devices and even it took some time, this projects back then pales in comparison to the complexity of a clamshell device. And we worked full time. But companies only doing so set the...

    @Robert Taylor Sadly companies like GPD provide strong competition. I use my Win2 quite often. Yes the Win has its flaws but it is still a great device. And there are lot of alternatives around that where not before. A lot of the features the Pyra provides are not advertised good enough. Even if...

    LocoRoco is already a bit like your spot idea, expect that the player is the spots. (Actually you play the world, the spots just cooperate). The spots can merge split and change shape. You start as a single spot and grow by eating. You can install a PSP emulator on your android an try it out. It...

    Not much text here. Just a video.

    There will be no limitation on the Pyra that prevents you from using the phone functionality. The Pyra Phone may be even running the same software or vice versa. But the Pyras form factor makes it a little bit awkward to use it as a phone. So some people may like that form factor more. And the...

    Vim is very easy to use after you know the basics. I use it all the time at work and even on my android its the best editor i found so far (if you remap a few keys in your .vimrc)

    Some personal stuff - and prototypes building!

    Pausing may be better, but also harder to implemet, or are music applications listening to dbus events for pause/unpause (not toggle of course)? And even then muting all applications must always be done.

    I use my shure BT1 (bluetooth inear) all the time on my Linux machines, it works really great out of the box. My Laptop connects and switches to my inears as soon as i turn them on, and also switches back afterward. only the play pause buttons behave strange (vlc recognizes them when i press...

    Maybe some non kernel dev wants to learn kernel and OMAP5 stuff and can pick up the task. But then this person needs at least a devboard a lot of spare time and motivation, which is highly unlikely any body both has. :( So lets wait for zmatt then. Whats the percentage of developers on this...

    I don't care if it takes 2 month or 2 month™ as long a the time gets invested into making the pyra a better device hardware wise. And at the moment stuff is happening
