For office mobile applications
- The Pinephone has great wired keyboard which makes it suitable for typing texts.
- Abiword and Gnumeric can be installed on the Pinepone and work great.
- But both applications aren’t developed further since about 10 years and are quiet limited.
- Both can only very limited controlled by keyboard short cuts.
- LibreOffice is also available but not adapted to the Pinephone screen.
- Users in the Pine64 forum suggested to use VIM or EMACs as more powerful applications.
- But does Emacs or VIM not take a lot of time to get used to, as explained in this example?:
- A possible solution to solve this problem could be LibreOffice.
- For instance by starting removing unnecessary stuff which does not fit onto the Pinephone screen.
- LibreOffice could then be controlled by keyboard shortcuts as much as possible.
- The Pinephone could so be used for mobile writing of texts and excel spreat sheets with LibreOffice
- they then can be processed furhter on a desktop PC.
- Or with the Pinephone dock and the full LibreOffice app with all features and menues using a larger HDMI screen.
To use the external SD card as a storage card for office files on the Pinephone
- which can be pulled out of the Pinephone and then be sticked with a SD card reader into a desktop PC for further processing.
- This is an issue for me personally which still takes some time to resolve:

- Android phones do not support writing to the external SD card after Android 4.4.
- The Pinephone could solve this problem.
Examples how to modify the Pinephone keyboard layout
- And example for instance which shows how to control Abiword, Gnumeric or LibreOffice with keyboard short cuts and the Pinephone keyboard.
- postmarketOS offers only English language and Czech support.
- I miss an example for the Pinephone to adapt it to foreign languages as for instance German.
Folder sharing to a Ubuntu PC
- folder sharing was discussed in the Pine64 forum:
https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=18080&pid=116659#pid116659
- but an example how to do this would be helpful.
- An example for as Samba share from the Pinephone to a Ubuntu PC would be helpful as well:

The Pinephone is bad but is worth saving it for instance for office moblile applications
- Resolving the mentiones issues would make the Pinephone from a device which is bad to a device which is still worth buying for me personally for office mobile application.
- The follwoing reviewers conclude that the Pinephone is bad:
- Chris Titus Tech: The Linux Phone
- Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org:
- and very recently by «The Linux Cast»
- I Need to Apologize… This Device is Bad”
- a review about the Pinephone Pro:
- which mention issues which could be caused by a faulty device.
- but these issues where also confirmed by others.
- these issues concern the Pinephone Pro:
- Updating the issues mentioned above would make the Pinephone to a device which is stil worth buying for me personally for office mobile applications..
- Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org could make these updates by himself, which would take him a lot of time.
- But for someone with good Linux, coding and “Pinephone skills” this could eventually simpler.
And if nobody does these updates, Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org rather tests if it is possible to make out of the Raspberry Pi zero 2 with Raspberry Pi OS a mobile device which fit’s better for his needs than a Pinephone. Since it appears to me personally that the updates mentioned above are much simpler to make with a Raspberry Pi zero 2 w and Raspberry Pi OS than with the Pinephone and postmarketOS for a person like me who usually does not code.
The following video of leepspvideo shows a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W first time setup and that this SBC has far better performance with Zram:
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 scalping 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 scalping 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 scalping 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 scalping 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.
What is a scalper?
A scalper is someone who buys something and resells it at a price far above the initial cost. For instance some says: “He got theater tickets through a scalper”: Someone who buys tickets to an event in order to resell them at a profit. And is it not also scalping if you take reviews from this site to make out of it a new product offer, and sell it for a higher price? We doubt that you will be successful with it. Since Peter Gamma will review your product and will user not come back to www.petergamma.org after that?
