Those that have not yet received the ordered phones should have a mail like this on the Coronavrus-situation.

There is a heavy pull on the battery in idle with absolutely nothing installed. Connected to WiFi doing nothing, over 2% per hour!!! ADD: It is the WiFi that seems to be the culprit, If I put it in Aeroplane mode, it is much much better. Fallen from 74% to 65% in 19h (or 0.42%/h to 0.53%/h - could in best case be from 73.50 to 65.49, or worst case from 74.49 to 64.50) I then in Aeroplane turned WiFi ON, and it has fallen from 65% to 10% in just 24h (or 2.25%/h to 2.33%/h - could in best case be from 64.50 to 10.49, or worst case from 65.49 to 9.50)

Well it might... See this 🤣

On the first, some have reported this too. It has been suspected to be related to what networks band is in use, and perhaps switch between these bands, though this is not confirmed. One reported the issues when parsing a partiular place by train (if I recall correctly) The second is new. 😥

That is the four glyphs long one no three after the GPS (after the battery and charger). It gives NO warning, but calls directly on click!!! "Hall_a" is in keyboard half close to camera button, "Hall_b" is in the display half, slightly above the volume rocker (ssn in portrait). I guess it is intended to detect a Flip-case closed!

Indeed, that have been changed to home. But tried Alt+Arrows with a lot of layouts including the four us intl, and can NOT get that to doing Back? I tag @Anssi Hannula here, to hear if this has accidentally been removed or moved to somewhere I can not guess,...

Maybe we shall find a better place for this windows talk. But that said it is still a mess with some settings in the new flat hell, and some in the good old control panel.

Let us not spin too much into specific other launchers. That we already have in other threads, e.g. this. This thread was intended to be on the build in and the pros and cons of it over others. Maybe we should just merge them completely?

Ah I see, well no imei, so.... (being super optimistic i gave it an active sim, but as it can not use it, it made no difference)

As @Hook said you most certainly can use many launchers out there. The most lousy ones does not support landscape at all. For many it is in a menu settings (some rather deep in!!!) to select it not to be portrait only. Most of the ones that DO support landscape, has their mind back when screens were in a 4:3 aspect ratio, so they just stretch&squeeze the grid. Still having full functionality, but often looking a bit odd in landscape, and many widgets does not handle it well to be twice as wide and half as high as they were originally designed for... A few launchers had taken th

Installed SFOS after all... And I can see it looks cool.😎 I have browsed through the thread, and maybe I overlooked something. But is it a known issue that I can not set the date&time, or I just being thick? When ever I try and click accept, it ignores it and selects a day two months back, and roughly 8 hours off . If I try to set it to automatic, I get the same time adjusted to Finnish time zone. This prevents my from logging on, as it gives me an errormessage. It also prevents me from using https, as the handshaking fails, and as MTP does not seem to be working, I can

And they did end it abruptly on June 18 (or short before), but then extended it, so the pre-order page said And that was mentioned in the forum too. I do not recall when they actually ended the limited offer, but I think it was late July. ...But if you browse back in this thread, you will find this has been discussed before.

How odd htat you are not allowed to request the device-info?!? Can you send a "fastboot reboot" ?

Nope, I got used to the mess, and added a bunch of sticky shortcuts in the taskbar, You can add a shortcut to the folder "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" and drag it close to the degenerated windows icon to the left, and here the small icon gives something close to a real start menu, and then remove all tiles from the fake start menu. (right click taskbar, toolbars, "New Toolbar", paste in the path. And then drag it all the way to the right, it first compresses your real taskbar, but finally pops to the right side, and then you can compact it by moving the sepa

Hmm what does the screen look like, it sound like you are not in bootloader mode. It should look somewhat like my image above. What does fastboot devices say? ADD: Can it do a fastboot reboot

OH! I shun the tiles so much I never even bothered to look at the images for the MS launcher. I better do then. Thanks.

Yes, unfortunately there are a lot of protocols, and not all fall back in a smart way. AFAIK the new PD does not fall back to other fast charge protocols. It could be that it is as stupid as licence issues - but that is just guessing... It would be nice if the protocols were 'nested' so the device and charger just had to agree on the highest both supports.

When I see the word Microsoft in combination with launcher, my immediate thought is "OH NO! Hideous tiles on Android too?!?!" but of course there are those that actually like that tile-mess, so to each their own. nice that we have variety.

OH! Sorry, I thought you got your Pro1 and had it running there... If I explicitly select the Reverse-portrait, that works fine. And it also respects the slider setting forcing landscape. But If I to get its auto-rotate to work, it does not. It stays in reverse portrait when I select that first, and then autorotate, and rotates fine from reverse portrait, but will not go back to reverse portrait no matter what I try,.. I would want the tool to respect all four directions when rotating the device (and respect the slider setting for landscape when open) (And I do not li

That was the point, I did and it does NOT work here.... See above

It sounds to me that he just choose to ignore that they clearly stated that future pre orders from a certain date would NOT get the extras.

I don't know, I just assumed that it was because mine were cheap ones that they had issues.

Odd, though I have seen some cheap ones from ebay not working well either. (Other cheap ones works fine both slow and quick chargers) The two Quick-charge 2.0 chargers I tried did not work optimal, so could be a pattern?

Quite a number of launchers do support landscape mode, but most often just be stretching and squeezing the grid from portrait... Until now the only one I have seen with the two block approach (one over the other or side by side) is the one that comes with the Pro1.

Yes, but can you get it to do reverse portrait with autorotate? That is interesting for people preferring holding the device in the right hand portrait, as this would get the buttons and fingerprint reader on the finger side... (Either for one hand operation by right-handed people or two handed operation for left-handed people)
