Neat, comes pre-charged. Decent splash screen. Wait wut- a pin? ... I'm not sure what to do here.

Found passcode searching online. Ideally should have been included in packaging.

Went into terminal, locked screen and couldn't get back in with passcode. Had to restart phone for it to take passcode. The battery has gone down pretty quickly and is a bit warm, but not a big concern yet. Still need to update the software. Don't know default password to terminal.

Username is kde though.

Password was the same as pin- weird, because it didn't work the first time around. Got locked out of phone again and had to restart.

sdcard works well for flipping the switches... but know what works even better and is just about perfect? Floss stick. 😅 That's right. Keep a plastic flosser under your cover (in non damaging way):

I originally was just a spegetti noodle- but that wouldn't fit under the cover... I'll check with a toothpick, thanks!

@lucifargundam Sorry. Should have warned you about the PIN.
How is Plasma? Any quirks?

@Hyolobrika
Other than getting locked out, the battery drain and slight overheat- so far so good. Hopefully those issues will get resolved soon. I still have to experiment more with it though.

@lucifargundam What OS is your plasma mobile running on? I'm looking at getting a Librem 5.

@lucifargundam wow looks nice. Can’t wait to unbox my pinephone(hopefully this week). Is it running Manjaro out of the box ? Saw somewhere about the Manjaro daily builds.

@sridhar
I would double-check for you if I could- but for some reason the pin isn't working and it won't let me do a factory reset. I'll have to reinstall the image via sd card. Even though it came with a usb hub, it doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

Iirc, it should have manjaro installed. Will update as I proceed.

@lucifargundam After using quite a few distros most pins are 123456 or 1234 (in case you try any new ones).

Make sure to upgrade and reboot.

Funny enough I just did a Plasma video before reading your toot. Really cool to see KDE Connect working!!!! I suggest keeping a couple backup operating systems on sdcard. This way if your system breaks you won't miss any calls/texts 😉

Welcome fellow Piner! 😁
