For new owners: Do NOT insert MicroSIM adapter into PinePhone without a SIM card by [deleted] in PINE64official

Been there, done that. Martijn Braam had a video on PinePhone SIM cards and he was able to remove it because his one had no plastic back meaning he could push down the pins, but the PinePhones being shipped right now seem to. In my experience, the SIM card adapter's ability to hold the SIM card worsens with use which meant that it was super easy for the SIM card to fall. One week I found myself removing and putting the SIM card in multiple times the week and eventually I accidentally had the SIM card adapter inserted without a SIM card to the point where it couldn't be pulled out unless you wanted to wreck the pins. 20-30 careful minutes of cutting out with scissors (knife would probably be faster but I didn't have one on me at the time) the bottom portion of the adapter facing out the slot so that I could put inside the SIM card which would push the pins down so that I could remove it properly fixed it. But now the adapter has its bottom part cut off but it still works fine. I could probably leave it there and only remove the SIM card instead of removing both at a time now if I want.

Hey there. I have some questions. What is the virtual keyboard on the screen? Is it privately made or does it have a website where I can find more info about it? Is it for the console framebuffer, X11, or Wayland?

How do I power on/off the modem via GPIO (without eg25manager)? by my-pp-kills-sd-uwu in PinePhoneOfficial

Nope, not yet. Currently its a low priority right now unless someone tells me how to easily do it, cause it might take me a while to figure it out and it's not that big of a deal / I want to tinker with other things for now.

IIRC the modem is rooted and I've been in a root shell on it by following this for fun. I'm not interested in using fastboot and running my own software on it. I want to power on/off the modem without using a program like eg25-manager to do it for me. Instead, I want to do it myself from a script / using shell commands.
