What Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org expected from the Pinephone but he does not use it for

Last Updated on June 4, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

For instance problems caused by Google Inc. to Peter Gamma from Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org

  • A reason to buy a Pinephone: foldersharing between Pinephone & PC?
  • Theoretically possible, but difficult for non-coders.
  • Peter Gamma suffers to the present day, since Google killed the option to write to the external SD card.
  • The last Andoid phone he was happy with was his Galaxy S5 with Android 4.4.
  • With this device everything he was happy with was possible.
  • For instance writing to the external SD card, and process the files further on a PC, cloud-free.
  • Or connect the phone over usb to a PC and write to the external SD card.
  • All attempts to solve this issue with the Pinephone failed to this date.
  • See Peter Gamma’s 376 posts in the Pine64 forum regarding this topic:

Now he went back to an Android phones with Softmaker installed on it, after installing LibreOffice on the Pinephone:

Peter started testing a Raspberry Pi 4 with NextCloudPi for a cloud free home sever.

  • He currently managed to sync one file forward and back, until it stopped.
  • The i p adress of the Pi4 has disappeared again in the router and Peter does not know why.
  • He needs to test all of this with a second setup

He tesed also screen copy for remote desktop:

  • This should in theory worked with an ethernet adapter connected to an Android phone as well.
  • Peter could attach an Android phone over ethernet cable to see the ip adress on the router but not more up to the present day.
  • screen copy has many insructions on YouTube, but it takes time to get it to work.

Synchronization over Google Drive only as a work around until a better solution is found

  • Since using Google Drive completely against Peter’s conviction.
  • Folder sharing would be possible on the Pinephone for a skilled coder:

  • Folder sharing on the Pinephone:

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=18080

  • Folder sharing is easy between two Ubuntu PCs of the lastest releases, for instance between an Ubuntu PC and Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu
  • For many things a Raspberry Pi 4 is much more suitable since it has 10 years of soft- and hardware development in advance over the Pinephone.

Information for product sellers who do stock market speculation and scalping with products mentioned by Peter Gamma on www.petergamma.org.

According to the little experience of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org, many of the products listed here are still full of issues which need to be resolved. If you do stock market speculation and sculping with those, you will loose Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org as a buyer of these products and as a reviewer. Is this not risky? Will you not loose a majority of your costumers as well?

And is it not so, that society in general does not accept stock market speculation and scalping with products as those which are listed here? And will you not be politically incapable of finding a majority of the voters if you do stock market speculation and sculping with these products?

And as a consequence will you not be condemned and punished by a political referendum soon? Especially if you do this to a Swiss, since are not majority of Swiss against stock market speculations and sculping with people on a budget? And people in Switzerland are known for a lot of political referendums, since we have direct democracy in this country.

And Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org will fight up to the European Court of Human Rights against people who do stock market speculation and sculping with the products which are mentioned on www.petergamma.org. And if they do not have yet the legal basis there to do so, he will fight for it.
