  1. I have not tried on this, but on other devices spraying some de-mineralised water on the screen before applying can solve the bubble problem, as it is easier to squeeze out the water than air (as air compresses when you try to push a bubble away). With a device like this, water should be used with the screen facing downwards. (That is why I was lazy and did not do it)
  2. If I remember right, the turning off was something added - and there were a backside of turning it off too - frankly forgot what it was though. But was enough so that I kept it On, despite all the nuisance.
  3. Well it depends on the materials. The current ones are not good enough, but if it can be a more elastic base, it might be durable
  4. I'm almost certain that they stated that they are send by air. Ships are way too slow. I guess they might change to ships when they got enough stock in their warehouses, to save some money.
  5. Yup they stated that somewhere in the spring. They had considered both types, but in reality they found out they did not have a choice.
  6. Believe it or not, actually I have come across people that prefers these horrible touchpads over real mice. For those it could be interesting. And for use at some random remote location borrowing a display to show something, it would simplify to not have to consider a real mouse also.
  7. Thanks for the clarification. It would have been more clever if it was the same partition BUT with two directory-trees! So the running version just saw some space gobbled in a RO directory while new files were added. In the other tree existing files conflicting were logically moved into a reserved RO space when new versions were added. This way you would only be 'wasting' space for the files that differs and done cleverly you might even share the part of the directory that relates to non-system files. ... You could even allow for keeping more than two versions, with minimal waste... Of co
  8. ...and this especially includes portability. We could be on the edge of a new revolution in usage with foldable and rollable screens within the next five or so years.
  9. Rather than the "GPD pocket" I would consider something like this type. Add: Exists in more than one variant, see e.g. this review.
  10. I feel very much the same way. And rather than seeing them as competitors as such, I see it as variety, and that is the most important thing. Different people, different use cases, different needs&wishes. And thus different devices best suiting those. And frankly I see more potential Cosmo users that could use a Pro1 instead, than the other way round. Had they had a double hinge for bending over and no secondary screen, then they would have targeted an audience that want/like a hard shell protected device and a landscape keyboard device (plus a slab) in one. I could have bee
  11. People using a purse might also find it easier to fit in than even the smallest laptop.
  12. Do you got any other pictures? I'm a bit surprised if this is all bleeding, especially at the end (green arrow) it looks more like reflections, being quite far from the display area. But at the sides (red arrow) it could be. Have tried to look for similar on mine, but found none. The screen protector I added (not unexpectedly) acts somewhat like a mate disc, and thus can 'light up' at the the edges, but that is the screen protector and not the screen. Here a few of how the screen-protector looks (bubbles and all)
  13. I simply don't get why they did not give it a double hinge, so it could 'bend over' Yoga-style, as more serious laptops do now. They could then ditch the secondary screen, and save size and weight. Had they done that, I most likely would have been interested.
  14. Or could be that something on the assembly has to be done extremely careful not to trigger it - I have no idea. But that could mean that they could not pre-test the displays. On the Elephone U Pro replacement screens some reports green lines, again we do not know it this is due to assembly. A wild guess could be an extremely sensitive cable.
  15. Nice, thanks. As a compare the Pro1 (AFAIK) only got on/off for backlight. Not even a setting relating it to the ambient light. I have not yet found a situation where I found it too bright, nor one where it was too little.
  16. We are in the guessing game, but most likely different steps have different number of lines involved. In principle one machine could do one step very fast on all in queue (and then even work on an entireey different device for a while), and then a lot of people and/or machines could do the next step side by side. I very much doubt it is the same person that follow one device from beginning to end. And I also doubt that one person do the same step on all the devices. All the parts for all the devices could be ready at a bottle neck point, demanding a lot of man or machine time. But we
  17. So we know for sure that not all pre-orders are produced, yet (i.e. assembly has not even started on at least some of them). This leaves us at roughly one week to produce and assemble all remaining pre-orders to be able to get them at customer's door steps before Christmas. Not impossible, but unlikely IMHO. I whish them (and us ;)) all the best! 🙂 Yeah, does seem like they need a Christmas miracle. 😇 But on your "Not even started" I see no base for that in the quoted, strictly the quote could go for anywhere from 0% to 99% finished, we would be guessing. To me
  18. Indeed we sure would like to know MORE than we know. And yes, just sent from factory, so will take some time before they reach the consumers. And yes I might have assumed too much from the word "Another", assuming it was referring to the lines above. It COULD also be interpreted as "another" compared to the first batch. Though I'm (unfortunately obviously) not a native English speaker, it would seem a bit odd in the context.
  19. Hey you got one thing right, congratulations... Yes I took the stamp from the wrong mail, sorry. The assignment mail I received was stamped 2019-11-04 11:51 CEST
  20. Actually in some countries you are required by law to have the noise on shutter turned on. I know this go for Japan, Could be elsewhere too.
  21. Well please try to be at the least a bit real... When they (finally) bother to give detailed info then please bother to READ what they write, and the WHOLE text, before making your own fake conclusions.... We know these three batches are in play.... The first small one, that is delivered for NON-US, and returned for the US-part, A batch where they wrote "and so we have reproduced this batch from scratch" A batch was sent out Wednesday, "Another batch of devices has left the factory on Wednesday" So we KNOW there are three (Theoretically -but unlikely- there coul
  22. Are you saying you are guessing a third batch was sent, and "the second batch" was not? Seems a bit far fetched, but theoretically you could be right - but we are splitting sticks on labelling the batches then.... Let us get things straight: We know that have sent two batches. (Theoretically, but hardly likely more than two)
  23. We do not know if that was the case... We all know that the first batch was very small (We know that it was at the least 120 from QC image though), so even if the mails went out slowly, they would not be much spread in time. I mean even if mails were sent out one every second minute, and it was say 500 mails, it would still be within a day.
  24. You do know the term "Cherry picking", right? If you bothered to go a few lines done, you would see that some were sent Wednesday so the one where they go batch from scratch, must be a later one... Note the "Another"...
  25. Please do not try claiming that I should be backing any of your paranoia. What I tried to emphasize is that we do not know the order the mails are sent out WITHIN the group that are allocated the second batch. And from the paying mails we know that their mailing system sent those out over several days, so I expect that here as well. So I doubt the last mail on "stock assigned" for batch two is sent out yet. As simple as that.
