Gemini PDA - Hardware / Over Battery Temperature
« on: April 12, 2018, 01:30:31 pm »
Quote from: Varti
When the overheating warning appeared, were you using the supplied charger/cable, or a third-party one? This article suggests that a poor quality charger cable might cause overheating during charge: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/prevent-andro...ne-overheating/

I used the charger that came with the Gemini along with the cable that came with it.

Makes me now wonder if it had the X27 CPU would I have gotten this warning?

Gemini PDA - Hardware / Over Battery Temperature
« on: April 11, 2018, 02:09:07 am »
So how do we remove the battery? Also has anyone else gotten this error on their Gemini? This is the First time it has shown up on mine and I had the charger hooked up on the Left side. Was playing an Android game and the battery was at 15% so I plugged it in and continued playing for 40 minutes till I stopped to go get some food when I got back I saw the Over temp warning on the screen. Also it says to remove the battery but as was posted there is no way to remove the battery without causing damage. I have powered off the Gemini and waited till it cooled down before plugging the charger back in.

Still having trouble with the battery lasting more then 6 hour before it shuts down due to lack of power. Nice thing is it recharges in 120 minutes. So now just have to make sure that  I am next to an outlet or have a battery pack for 2 hours so it can recharge. I believe the X27 will work longer before battery is depleted  due the the power saving features of the cpu.

As I understand it, the power saving features of X27 are to do with display brightness management and in many circumstances will make barely any difference.
I will only use Waze when connected to a power source, Waze is just too much of a power hog.

The screen is what is killing my battery I have it plugged in recharging now and it shows Screen 28% use of battery and Wi-Fi  is at 1%. I will re-post later after it has finished charging so you can see what is killing the battery. I have not been using Waze on it to make the battery last longer.

Oh yeah, Waze, that eats a ton of power, to keep the GPS active, the screen on, audio playing regularly.

I use an Anker 2A power adaptor in my car to power my LG V20, and sometimes when the screen brightness is up, podcasts are streaming over bluetooth and Waze is running, I get a message to say that there's not enough power to run the phone and charge the battery at the same time!

Gemini PDA - Linux / Planet says new Linux info today

Someone asked on #planetgemini what's the purpose of the blue LED on some of the photos, does anybody know?

 [ Invalid Attachment ]

Could it be a charging LED, or maybe is it the Caps Lock led?

Varti

From what I can tell it only comes on when I am booted into Debian Linux once I exit out of Debian the blue light goes out. I have asked if there was a way to disable it or turn it off but have yet to get an answer.

OK I was able to turn on the Wifi using Connman but I am having trouble loggin to my AP. I chose my AP then press connect and the Agent Input window pops up. From there I am lost on what needs to happen. Thanks for walking me through this.

Hi, the problem I realised is once you have entered your Wifi password the ok button is not on the screen due to it's small size. After entering the password I hit Tab 5 times and then Enter and that should save the setting , a few seconds later you should see the Wifi connect in the bottom right corner of the screen,

J

Thank you JMD. With the instructions you gave I was able to connect to the internet.` Also has anyone figured out how to turn off the blue light between the Esc, Q and Tab keys?

I for one am pissed that I got a X25 instead of a X27 when my order ID was 1115 that is 115 more then the 1000 that was to have the X25 chip.

There were other orders, things like the case, connectivity kit etc. Order 1115 could still easily be within the first 1000 gemini devices. Well I suppose it was if you got one  As far as performance, there is a slight improvement on paper, but this thing is fast. It smokes my old snapdragon 810 by some margin. It might not be right up there with the latest, but it is more than fast enough for me. I must admit, the power improvements of the x27 would have been nice though.

As I noticed my Gemini can not go 12 hours without needing to be recharged and the case gets hot along with the battery when recharging it.

Wow, you are really using the thing! I am using the gemini as my only device. Off the charger at 6am - during the day it is used occaisionally (I have set up an sshd server on it so I can ssh in and read my text messages) at work for browsing/texts/calls. When I get home, I am still around 90%. With significant effort I can get it to about 40-50% by midnight - by this I mean open arena, mupen64, lots of browsing, youtube, email, bills etc. I really do only use the gemini now - no more laptop.

Planet are only a small company and I have sent a few queries - they always answer, it just might take a little while. I have cut them some slack. I don't know what the warranty period is sorry.

PS. Maybe I am just lucky, or maybe it is only the noisy few who have problems but my gemini appears to be problem free in all respects. Once I worked out why it was dropping calls (not the gemini's fault btw) it has been faultless.

I am using it in Android and that maybe whats causing it to go through the power faster. I am using it for navigation  using Waze and for phone calls and video calls on Tango. When I get the camera it will be the only device I use because I will then be able to take pictures of the errors I am having to fix for my work report. I have  gotten the Gemini set up for dual boot with rooted Android and Debian but I have not been able to get Debian to connect as a phone or to WiFi. So I am waiting hoping that Ubuntu will soon be released.

Well Planet is screwing themselves and the Gemini because the people who are upset will make it know on social media and the Gemini will then have a hard time getting picked up by cellphone companies. I for one am pissed that I got a X25 instead of a X27 when my order ID was 1115 that is 115 more then the 1000 that was to have the X25 chip. As I noticed my Gemini can not go 12 hours without needing to be recharged and the case gets hot along with the battery when recharging it. As it is now they will have a hard time getting it in stores. I have back a lot of projects and the ones that have delivered have offered a 1 year warranty so for PC to not come out and say what the warranty is  is something I will remember to check for before pledging my hard earned money. So here's hopping that they fix this and can be successful.

Gemini PDA - Hardware / Teardown?
« on: March 19, 2018, 08:04:28 am »
Quote from: joe
Has anyone been courageous enough to do a teardown yet? I feel squeamish just taking the cover off, but I'd love to see the insides. Especially the battery and how to remove the hinge and bottom cover.
Just use the tool used to open the side of the Gemini on the other side to see the battery. I popped it off to check out the battery its big. I wish they would have made the battery swappable  because I would have ordered an extra 3 less weight then a powerpack. Also Has anyone else misplaced the opening tool I am now looking to see where it was left.

For those that got Debian running now, some screenshots would be fun to see.

Thanks,

Mark

I would but until I can figure out how to get the WiFi working I have no way of posting the screen shots. I can post a video tomorrow of it booting up.

Why not take the video with your other phone? Then you don't have to worry about wifi on the Gemini.  

Because the Gemini replaced my S7 edge so I no longer have another phone.

I borrowed a Mac to download and extract the image and flashed Debian to my Gemini, It boots to a login screen user Gemini, anyone know what the password is??
Password is "gemini", same as login (you can change that later with passwd).

Thanks just got it loaded and tried GEMINI as the password and it didn't work. The tried gemini and it worked but now the screen is black ok after 40 seconds it booted to Welcome to LXQt.

Has  anyone had luck with setting up the WiFi?
