You are right. Strange things may happen which is normal at beta stage. It is important to have most of the problems vanished at launch time to give the highest possible satisfaction for the first users which is necessary to get the highest reputation, thus, higher number of orders later. That is why beta testing is a good idea.

I don't think so. For me, it would be also my primary device (doing most of the use cases on this device), maybe even with my primary SIM, but there may be cases when the device is not available - like software upgrades, regressions, anything. I think beta testers definitely have to use the device in everyday life to be able to find out possible problems. Maybe also by doing tests with one SIM, two SIMs, different radio bands (also in different countries / places around the world) would also be good. At least to have some feedback of earlier measurements in real world experience. An

However, if someone has another cards to test with, the stability may not be as important. For example, I have an older pre-paid SIM at one of the providers in Hungary which was used to be a number for someone, but had to be topped up yearly, thus, it currently has relatively high amount of money. So it would be good for initiating and also receiving calls from friends / family. I also have a separate card with active mobile internet - this way stability is not as important as there is a fallback phone with my main personal and company number :-) However, that way two phones should be u

Another annoying thing in Android for me is the feature of displaying only national ratings for apps. I mean only national ratings. I would like to read ratings in languages I understand and not only the local ones - especially when the app has relatively few ratings, I see those ratings are good but no Hungarian ratings at all and I have no option to see any ratings in the app as they are filtered out.

For me, it seems the link works... at least if I click on the avatar (which also has a camera icon), I have an option of "Upload photo". If I click on it, I have an option to upload one. Browser is Vivaldi on a PC (so it is Chromium engine). Maybe the link is not working from another browser or another platform (like a phone running Android).

I agree. For me, I have backed Keyboard Mod's Kickstarter project, but did not want to buy a Moto Z phone till I don't hold one keyboard in my hands and I think its quality is good for a while. As Keyboard Mod was not launched, I have not bought that phone - so for me, I have also wanted a device for the keyboard and not a keyboard for device. Without Keyboard Mod, I simply don't need Moto Z. I was also treated Keyboard Mod project as something like a risk investment from the beginning considering the worst result would be the no money and no hardware situation, but from this view point, ev

POLL: What keyboard layout do you want?
VaZso replied to MortisAngelus's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Yes, it may be better. Anyway, ordinal Hungarian keyboard also has Y/Z interchanged compared to US keyboard, however, I don't really like that idea. Non-shifted US layout would be the best as at least one layout would be correct that way (which is usable mostly in terminal mode)... but as keyboard positions are not shifted, that would be a better layout. Otherwise, in my current laptop, I use German keyboard because I didn't really feel that I have to change its keyboard to Hungarian one... (I have the layout burnt in my brain and also use English layout often for programming.) Anywa -

POLL: What keyboard layout do you want?
VaZso replied to MortisAngelus's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I may choose Hungarian keyboard and I know somebody who may also interested and preordered this device, but I'm afraid we are really few for FxTec to manufacture a specific keyboard for us. However, I really hope they will offer an unmodified US layout which I would prefer. I mean I think it is a really wrong way to give an offset to keys and leaving unnecessary high gap on the left for normal typing and really inconvenient on the right for special characters. If unmodified keyboard layout would be used, we may use normal Hungarian layout and accient characters can be at normal position -
Small update for those only following the forums.
VaZso replied to netman's topic in General Discussion
Thank you. Naturally, image quality can change a lot and it depends on the current state of implementation, but basically RAW data should be good enough to provide appropriate end result. (It also depends on hardware implementation like wiring, the noise / filtering of power line and also other possible noises. Also, noise in the image may also depend on configuration or actual settings.) So, mainly if you feel image quality is not bad, that is a good news for us. :-) -

@EskeRahn: That sounds good, thank you. Although it may still have some modifications, what is your opinion about the current image quality of the rear camera? Does GPS reception work well - if you know, what are the supported GNSS / GPS systems? -

I really miss the feature in my current phone of scrolling by keys instead of touchscreen. I still remember how convenient was to read something on my N900 and use arrow keys for scrolling down the text. That way there is no sidewise movement of the screen content by mistake, no unwanted zoom modifications, no unwanted popup menu of copy text, etc. I often run into these issues in my current phone or at least more often than I want. :) Also, several webpages has mobile view of fixed size which is good sometimes, but not in every case - for example by using it in a car on a bad road. If I -
Musings for a Pro2 (I know I know Pro 1 is not even out yet! :D)
VaZso replied to _DW_'s topic in General Discussion
I hope no... maybe for Pro 2.1 (as an "alternative"), but I hope to keep a usable landscape keyboard as main conception and maybe landscape as a "brother" for others who like it the other way. :) Anyway, as far as I know, Blackberry has / had this conception, however, I don't know if they are still actively developing phones with hardware keyboards... -
For me, if the battery can be replaced relatively easily (like unscrewing some screws) and can be replaced by an available battery, I would be happy as it means the phone would not be something like a "throwaway phone". I'm also hope a more easily replaceable battery in a theoretical Pro2 later and also SIM1 + SIM2 + microSD simultaneous possibility. I'm also don't like the idea of creating too slim notebooks and now also creating notebooks with internal batteries. I feel that area may also need a revolution soon (back to usable machines). :S

Number keys on right-shifted QWERTY
VaZso replied to EskeRahn's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I don't know if the numbers should be shifted together with letters as I don't know which method is more convenient (in practical use). ...but I would like to have a standard keyboard instead of shifted letters and / or shifted numbers. So, for working in a shell (by ssh for example), an unmodified standard keyboard would be highly the best thing to have. Otherwise typing characters like / \ : - would be hard which reduces the usability of the keyboard itself (for working). -
Number keys on right-shifted QWERTY
VaZso replied to EskeRahn's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I would prefer that layout anyway... as I would not need to learn another placement of my modifier keys for áéő etc and there are also correct placement of keys for working conveniently on a terminal like doing ssh to another machines. So I would vote for an unmodified version of QUERTY layout. -
Alternative OS availability, common entry

Agree, I would be also happy to have Sailfish running with Android support. -
I think no... my Indiegogo ID was nearly 1200 and I have received my voucher on the evening of 2nd of april. So it seems it is currently in progress.

Here is a quote from last Indiegogo update: "If you have already placed a pre-order, please submit your coupon code in this page https://www.fxtec.com/apply-a-coupon-to-an-existing-pre-order/ and we will add the coupon to your existing order."

@EskeRahn, yes, I think search is better to be called using a modifier button. Also, I have used ctrl + shift + x combination on my N900 to call the terminal several times, so a similar function to launch apps is a good thing, although it is a software issue. ...but if a specific key on the keyboard can be programmed to lauch applications (by a combination of that key and another one), especially if the phone has a software written by the team to specify which apps to launch, that would be a good thing to everyone.
-
Yes, I also like that function. However, I don't know if it is patented some way.
-
For me, I need a modifier key to be able to type language-specific characters (á,é,í,ó,ö,ő,ú,ü,ű) and their capital version. It is also good to have Alt / Ctrl keys to be used with software. I don't know if SYM or "Search" key is more useful as I don't know their functionality in Android. However, "Search" function may be reachable as a second function of a button - am I right?

Potential Sailfish OS support is a very good news, please don't forget to update about the progress. -
@EskeRahn, For me, I don't really need a power adapter - my current phone's adapter is still in its box as I use another, quality one which also has QC3.0 support. So that may be a good question.

Hello, As it has not been answered is 'Various questions to the PRO1 not yet answered' topic, I try to ask it in a separate place... What GNSS (GPS / GLONASS / Galileo / BeiDou) systems are supported be the phone? If you could share what model of sensors are in this device, it would be also good (like the GNSS / Accelerometer / Magnetometer / Gyroscope sensors). Thank you in advance.
