If I do not recall incorrectly, they already stated that. How the exact procedure will be I do not know.

A nice idea in principle, but perhaps something like this would be better for a home environment: https://www.irdroid.com/irdroid-v2/ The dongle looks quite large, and the risk of breaking the usb-port sounds like a high risk for the functionality..

Interesting that you got an Iphone keyboard to work with android, that failed on my attempts. The type of keyboard you used looks like similar to the ones I played with, so maybe Samsung had some smart trick to work with Iphone keyboards? I do not quite recall what phones I attempted to connect to. It was my own SonyEricsson (Neo) Pro, but also some of my friends devices at the time.

I think that part is pushing it a bit. For those writing in languages with A-Z only, and that do not use numbers much, (or always look at the print of the keys anyway), the shifted layout might be beneficial. with a better balance in the strech from right and left. I'm not in that target group either though... So despite never writing in German (I hardly speak it), I will most likely go for the German unshifted QWERTZ layout, as I can easily ignore that the Y-key got a Z printed and vice versa. And similar for the national letter keys, that are different in Danish So if not enough sup

I experimented a bit, and as I tried it I could get the keyboards available for Android to work quite well on Ios devices, but not the other way round! They REGISTER fine by bluetooth, but keystrokes are ignored. I have tried at least five different models. You can see a little blah blah on those I wrote here a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the nice post edlinfan. And nice tinkering. I tinkered something for Iphone 6- my self that worked well, had it not been for the horrors of Ios, I might still have been using it.... I can confirm that the pro1 indeed offers an option to have it in landscape while open :) And Alt-Tab and Alt-Sh+Tab is supported too (The last triple-combo hard to do hand-held though) I see no reasons why Home/End could not be assigned to a combo. Could be the yellow-arrow plus some arrow key. Frankly I never even tried the pane functionality, imho even these huge 6" screens are too small

Might work, my point was that the edge needed to get a grip, could be in the way for the sliding when opening, and it almost certainly would limit the options of opening to push-only, as it would by hard to get a grip on the top part for lifting of the back edge...

Looks awesome indeed! But if it should hold on the slightly conic bottom 'half', it would need to grab over the top phased edge, and that could make it harder to open... See this profile image from the Android Authority Preview

I guess the difference between $649 and your $700 could cover a more exclusive case. I hope there will be one available as an accessory.

It has been said at several places that this does not have an IP-rating. I do not know any particulars on the warranty, but for those in the EU (assuming UK is still in in July), there are law bound warranty. But I hope someone from the company can tell you more.

I'm quite confident that all these characters will be available software-wise, when Czech is selected - no matter the print on the keys. I have already started on a little pc tool for customization, though I still lack the info on what files are used and the format of those. But I hope for complete flexibility, and sharing of layouts, so even the smallest minority can fit them for their own preferences, using the print that is closest as a base. E.g. The German QWERTZ would be quite close to the Scandinavian, so even if Scandinavian print is not made.... I do not not know enough on andro

..you still can :)

Remember also that Scan can easily substitute Den, as the difference is just additional print that needs to be ignored on two keys for Danes. And as suggested earlier a large portion of those wanting US/UK are likely to have never even bothered with this thread, and thus did not vote.

I have tried to Google for some brightness on the "Elephone U Pro" that uses the same display, but not found any numbers. But a subjective compare of the S8- and the (pre-production) Pro¹ (both cranked up to full brightness and no blue filter or the like), the Pro¹ is clearly brighter. ADD: Tried to put them at auto and shine a bright led torch at the sensors of both (placed head-to-head) and here my impression were that they were of about equal brightness. (The S8- is known to go for a higher brightness in auto, than if you just pull the bar to 100%, the Pro¹ does not do that. If you cr

He he, haven't had a real tilt slider since the N97mini ten years ago.... (Gave that up for the Xperia Neo Pro, as N97mini only works in the dark...)

You are correct. :) The keyboard open does trigger just as pressing power, so if the device is not locked, it is active when opened. If locked, it is just touching the scanner with the right index (or middle) finger after opening. I feel it natural to hold the index finger at the 'support plate', that is between the two 'halves', which is close to the sensor, for easy access. I think it is a matter of 'muscle memory' to find the ideal way to pick it up, slide open and unlock in one sweep (almost unconscious) movement. BTW I noticed an alternative way of opening it(!), Rather than push

Nope, I only tried the Open Camera and Snapdragon Camera apps

This failed miserably, but protectors for the Elephone U Pro with the same front exists.

The cutting failed miserably, but protectors for the Elephone U Pro with the same front exists.

You are welcome and thanks. Then you know how horrible they are to get right on Photos. *LOL* Sometime he is playing with a pitch black German Shepherd, and it is simply hopeless to get BOTH right in a photo - despite many attempts, none really good, least bad one where he lies in the shadow and she in the sun a couple of years ago....

As with so many things, OPTIONS is the answer. I do not see why one user group should be forced to use the setting the other group prefers. So I certainly hope they will have a switch for it, so both can have what they prefer. And some (like me) can turn it off/on depending on what we are currently entering... (With the pro-production unit I tested, it is off, when not displaying a virtual keyboard. But the keyboard software part is clearly not finished)

Will look forward to some images of your Pro¹ with the great grandfather when you get it. ....And hopefully you are less lazy than me, so you clean the old thing up a bit before photos *LOL*

Thanks. I guess we are at about the same place. Made this dream some time ago (though I would not mind having the key-quality upgraded like the Pro¹): ADD: Oh note that this was before I noticed the bug everywhere, the device is really 15.3 not 13.5,mmm Here with corrected image: [attachment file=15283]
