Just a wild guess based on windows. Some programs change their title depending on what is active. Could that be helpful in getting the password manager to distinguish what password goes to what?

We MIGHT be in a situation that it is the same swindlers that developed the pcb that also holds the source for the software to it, and if so we are unlikely to see things corrected on stock, at the least until some court ruling freeing it so someone else can fix stuff.

I'm almost certain that FinQWERTY does not copy in files, it offers them to the system as resources not as 'physical' files, as I understand it. But I could be wrong.

My guess would be that it would give a better result to polish of the black paint (and most likely that would remove the white and the yellow squares too), and then paint all white, and then with a mask for letters and symbols paint all the rest black. On the software side, you should definitely have a look at FinQWERTY, that is open source, and see how he maps things.

Could well be, I have not experimented with it, but it would make sense if it broke the checksum. Most likely it would be a more safe way to have it delivered through an App, the FinQWERTY way.

Could be that it is echo I have not asked for details, nor have I tried to experiment with someone else talking in my phone. I think there is a huge difference in not fixing a bug, or aPple style claiming that it does not exist. As to the WHY it has not been fixed is anyone's guess. Maybe they tried the swap and it did not help, or had other side effects, Maybe it never reached so high on the ToDo list that it was even attempted fixed. I actually had plans (and started the skeleton) for such an app before I even had the preproduction unit in early 2019. I intended it as a PC

Interesting, are you on stock? I have seen others with the same complaints as me. It could be that it is a matter of usage pattern. If I use it in hands-free mode, and talk loud an clear as I would in a meeting it works fine. BUT if I talk in a normal voice I often get complaints from the other end that they can not clearly hear what I'm saying. Also in hand held calls the proximity sensor teases me. (the sensor has to be quite close to be considered in 'near', would have nice if it was say 5cm)

You lost me there. What app are you missing? One to freely customize the keyboard or? There are offers of alternative layouts like FinQWERTY but that is limited to predefined layouts. So a limitted number of languages supported.

Not in my book. My point is that for simple use it works close to perfect, but I do agree that there are issues, so for complex usage people are likely to be better off with e.g. LineageOS. The only real issue that is likely to hit the broad audience is the voice-call quality issue. IF they fixed that I would say that it worked fine for all but the demanding users. I would claim that the majority of those that do few voice-calls (like me) or do it mostly with headset anyway, would be just fine with stock.

I can not agree with you there. I would agree that tech enthusiast can got more out of the device, by switching the OS from stock. But that is not quite the same as it not being useful on Stock. I have been using my retail unit with stock since November 2019. Sure I tried out the other roms on other units, but I'm yet to use them for other than tests. It is driving me nuts, that voice calls only really work in a satisfactory way with a headset, but as I would guess I usually have a few minutes voice calls a week (no matter the device), for me it is a nuisance more than a deal breaker (I mu

(I meant cutting like this)

That is not bad at all !! Considering that it is not just cheap plastic like mine. And if we want reduced thickness, I bet cutting out the credit-card part along the edges would take about 3-4mm away, removing the multiple layered material Leaving it practically the same at the PUke leather ones ones. I'm not a big fan of the long flap-magnet mechanism though, I think the side type mechanism is better leaving the whole thing slimmer (at the cost of a little width-protrusion) Though obvoiously also easier to do with plastic...

Indeed, It is clearly a different type than the ones we usually see. Looks like real leather for one thing. Looking at the source there is also an attachment ring. (do not be confused on the 30, the listing has multiple models) BUT it could well be that the leather-part is the same, and only the grabbing shell part being different, that might explain the extra space. @claude0001 What are the external dimensions with a Pro1 inside? The primitive fake-'leather' ones I have been using are 156x79x21mm (83mm including the magnetic) ...BTW. Would be nice if some law requi

Let me try to tag @Erik in the hope he can find out what went wrong.

At the least some are still available at amazon, though at a substantially higher price....

...it seems we are already too late.... 😲

Thanks for the warning, I was not aware. so we better go and collect a stock of what is left...

Indeed. 🤑

From the images it would be more accurate to describe it something like "The upper part, less the plate with the hinge-mechanism". But let us await an official answer to be sure.

Indeed, have been using something similar for about two years (since the pre production unit). I do recommend turning it around so it open like a Japanese book though, as this both protects the key AND have the flap away with the keyboard open, both handheld and on a table. But would be interesting if someone could do it as a one piece 3D print in a transparent elastic TPU-like material so we could see the display closed, and perhaps have a slightly slimmer case. Optimally enclosing the magets needed for closing case as well as the one for the hal sensor detecting if the lid is closed.

I'm certainly tempted, but seen from Europe indeed it could end quite expensive with shipping and taxes on top of the cost of materials and your time. Do you have an estimate on what you would sell them for (excl shipping and taxes)

Indeed it that makes it very confusing that they answered "The screen included in the tech bundle is just the screen on its own" We better tag @Erik here to sort these two seemingly contradicting statements out. @Erik: If it really is just the screen, why do the Perk ask people to select the colour? Something does not add up here.

The optimal would be if a touch-based OS had some UI that distinguished between a large display-area and a smaller interaction-area where 99% of normal usage could be done. Where each of us could easily choose the size of the interaction-area as it fits the need of the day. And no I'm not talking just shrinking everything to a corner like e..g Samsung offers with Android. The most important thing is variety as different people got different needs and wishes, and it is almost impossible to imagine all meet in a single design..

Spot on where I stand. And if no keyboard I too would prefer a device where can be fully used in one hand while keeping a secure grip. In my book if the device is so huge that it requires two hands, we could just as well have it with a real keyboard also. The problem with a one hand operable devise with a real keyboard is that the keyboard would become cramped... We can not have both big standard keys, and a one hand operable device.

(AFAIK neither. It is magnetically attached closed or open)
