Exceptions
- Phone takes a long time to wake up when receiving a call.
- GPS/GNSS only works with web apps using GNOME Web. (Editors note: Is this still true? I think it works in general now)
- WiFi is not working reliably when there are more than one hotspot on the same SSID. The only known workaround is to reduce this to only one hotspot per SSID.
- Low-level access can be accomplished by using the shell and looking at files in /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device*. The file names give you a sense of what kind of data they provide.
- The camera works with megapixels, but for a different user language the file /usr/share/megapixels/postprocess.sh in line 20 has to be adjusted to store the images in the picture folder:
line 20 old: TARGET_NAME="$2" line 20 new: PICTURE_DIR=$(cat /home/$USER/.config/user-dirs.dirs | grep PICTURES | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d\" -f1) line 21 new: TARGET_NAME="/home/$USER/$PICTURE_DIR/${2##*/}" # for all user languages For more information see there: https://git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/megapixels#post-processing https://git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/megapixels/tree/master/postprocess.sh - See https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=12456 for upstream discussion.
- VoLTE works out of the box. You should not need to do anything to make it work. Output of

- There's no notification of it happening, but if you open up the top bar and press it you will see it change!
- Issue on older boards is due to a hardware fault. Pine64 Wiki
