Well if the housing of the port is not supported the repetitious plug and unplug can easily break the soldering by plain material fatigue. And in unlucky cases the print. This is why e.g. old transistors almost always had a nut securing the bushing to the chassis, so the mechanical stress was not transferred to the print. Here an example of a classic one. Here an example of the damaged connection from a Walkman page

Totally agree! The ONLY bad things that can be said on 3.5mm jacks compared to BT is IF it is mounted on a main print without proper support of the casing, so that wear and tear might brake the main print (quite a number of phones has issues like that). The images I have seen of the prints does not show that end, so I do not know. But on the pre production unit I have played with there are no 'wobbling' of the port at all so I assume they have thought on that detail (too) designing the whole thing. The outer part of the port can be seen as a tight fit in a round 'cut-out' in the exterior frame

Personally I would much rather have curved tempered glass screen protectors than headphones (and also rather than a case)

@Noir, thanks for already answering :) Yes, a double click on the power button can be used to access the camera.:) But if it is locked with code, it (at the least currently) requires you to move the finger 2cm from the power button to the fingerprint sensor.. I do not know if there is a way to have it act in 'locked' mode, with write only option. But as the fingerprint sensor is between the power button and the camera button, it is quite natural to unlock while moving the index finger,

Yeah, I see the July date as "if nothing goes wrong". And well we all know that things do go wrong... *LOL* Hope your phone can hold up. Put it in aeroplane mode at night, to prolong, keep it on your desk not in your pocket while working, ensure it is placed were the signal is optimal... :) If you not already do, then slim down what is running/enabled, I got a lot of blah blah on the subject on my small blog.

Well as I said: A week ago, they said that they still expected to start shipping in July. But that is not a guarantee. Some yet unknown nasty 'show stopper' could still pop up. It COULD be so big that they had to postpone. Even if the hardware is 100% locked and finished, there still could be software bugs so severe that they needed to postpone. Or delays in some required certifications - just throwing wild paranoiac guesses. I'm quite sure if they had a certain release date, they would tell.

Hear hear!!

Ah well yes, that could be it. That would sound reasonable in line with 'late July'.

Just guessing : It is exactly a month from now, so could be some standard expiration? (I'm not on faecesbook, so do not know how their stuff works) I will be super glad if it comes out mid July, but I doubt it. From what Liangchen Chen said at the London event, I would expect late July.

Nice! I hope they sound as good as they look.... Though I'm a sucker for active noise cancellation, so will more likely than not keep using my ATH-ANC33iS

On mine there is no discount line either, BUT the total is 100 less than the subtotal, is that the case for you too? [attachment file=17252]

I can't wait either :) On the Priv, it is important to keep it lean to perform well. I have written quite a bit on it. You can start here

You can select to use one of the shift keys for Ctrl. I can not remember the exact place. Have to dig it up :) Settings, Language&Input, Blackberry Keyboard Settings, Advanced, Physical Keyboard Ctrl key

People really should try ADB, we can disable (almost) anything without the need for neither root nor flash, just a pc and a usb-cable... See https://www.fxtec.com/forums/topic/root-related-questions-split-from-support-time-thread/page/1/#post-16686 with link

Ah sorry, was a little too hasty with that split. Thanks for the heads up, fixed.

Just a hint to those that like rooting just to kill bloat apps. Even on non-rooted devices we DO have a bigger axe to disable stuff, than apps-settings. Slightly hidden but official. By the use of USB-cable, a PC, and Google's ADB.program's commands we can disable galore (almost) anything. (Yes, including Bixby!) I wrote a lot of blah blah with examples related to a Samsung S8- here

Split all the root related posts into a new thread:

That is odd, I see both Danish and English reviews. (The names indicating it hardly being Danes writing in English) BUT it could be because I always set my devices to real English (or American), as the translations to Danish more often than not are more or less incomprehensible, so you have to try to make a reverse translation to guess what it originally was, to understand it.... You could try to (temporarily) change the phone language, and see if that gives you more reviews. (But indeed a bit odd that it is not a setting like: "I prefer these languages, in prioritised order")

The one I found here is a fairly mediocre fit, to put it mildly. I have not (yet) found tempered glass protectors with fitting curvature, just flat ones (and this even got a common cut out in the top for camera etc). There are various plastic ones with curvature, I have not tried these, as I wanted nothing less than tempered glass on this this hard to get specimen. Once it goes into real production, I might settle for less, and just buy a spare screen , for the bad chance of a plastic protector not doing the trick. Personally I'm not a huge fan of Gorilla glass. It is a GREAT compromise if

If I have my way, there will be no practical limits to what chars will be supported (well unicode accepted by Android). And my plan is that they can be assigned to any key or key-combination within some reasonable limits. (Zero or more modifier-keys plus some normal keys) So any language using letters with individual unicode chars should be easy to map as wished. To the extent Android supports it, it could even be taken a step further and supporting partial 'glyphs' or diacritics that can be used to combine chars from multi strokes. Either diacritics/modifiers pressed before or after, depe

And please add over here, if there is a specific version that works well with Keyboards/Landscape - and how to get to it. https://www.fxtec.com/forums/topic/apps-that-works-great-with-a-real-keyboard-and-in-landscape/ It is an annoying 'feature' in the Android Market, that once something have been messed up with an 'update', we not only can not downgrade, we even can't uninstall and install the working older version. We have to either hope the developer fixes what they messed up or find and side-load it, thus messing with the whole idea of (at the least somewhat) secured apps.

Just made a few quick ones with a samsung, not sharp, but you can see the size... [attachment file=16619] [attachment file=16620]

Good plan, I'm in on that one.

I think that is a fair estimate of the worst-case scenario. We will have to wait and see on the repairability. At the least I see some screws, in both halves, so might not be as bad after all :)

Thanks for testing. I had (optimistically) hoped that it was just the menu item that under some unknown circumstances were missing, but must be worse than that then. Hmm, :-/ Maybe different 'create-paths' of the user create the profile with different rights to their own profile?? Let us hope some more knowledgeable person knows what is going on and can fix it..
