Which browser are you using on your Pro1?
Slion replied to Slion's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I'm trying DuckDuckGo right now and I could stick with it for a while cause it does not open the URL bar when you put the focus on text field. Meaning more precious vertical screen real estate when using your keyboard in forums and wikis. Most chromium base browser do that for some reason. Do you guys know on which engine DDG browser is based? I thought it was based on Chromium too but now I'm not so sure. -
Just added a new feature to Fx Service to workaround this major issue, see:
-
Just released v0.9.0 adding Auto-sync scheduler feature which is primarily intended to workaround the following issue and should slightly improve battery life for anyone. Auto-sync scheduler is still brand new and needs more testing so keep an eye open for bugs.
-
What's wrong with them? You can still use the latest version and just ignore or disable the features you don't need for now. Still using an older version is a valid option too if you really can't stand the latest one 🙂

Something was broken for early adopters of that OTA, it was fixed later on. I'm one of the unlucky few to run the broken one. Good to know it runs on yours then. Hope they push a new OTA soon.

I'm just trying out a few browsers and right now I have my eyes set on Bromite. Since the source code is available I'm thinking one should be able to customise it to optimise landscape usage on Pro1. -
Not sure about that one specifically but I remember getting a lot of trash too over logcat thinking to myself they have room for improvements there.

The Astro Slide! (sliding keyboard phone competition from planetcom)
Slion replied to damion's topic in General Discussion
Seen some of the poor reviews from the comments on The Register? Then again there are people here too saying Pro1 is not cutting it for them. The Cosmo is especially being trashed there. One guy is still waiting for his. A few are saying they should fix it before bringing a new device. -

They have on screen fingerprint sensor. -

Assuming LCD display since it does not specify AMOLED. That's likely to be a show stopper for me. Though I'm glad they are coming to their senses by designing a proper slider that looks usable as a phone. Basically it looks like I could settle for an Astro Slider if the Pro1 did not exist. -
Did you make sure the rear mic is not obstructed? Is your Pro1 in a case?
-
I guess I will just wait until they release an official fix for that broken OTA.
-
I could not find Disney+ in the Play Store for my Pro1. It's available and works fine on my Huawei P30 Pro. Is that the same for everyone or is it because I'm running the compromised OTA that was made available for a short time?
-
Can you find a way to reproduce it? I never ran into that issue myself.
-
Just released v0.8.0. Now it's not just useful it looks good too 😉
-
Not that I can tell, no. Yes that still works. Using much alt+tab?
-
Sometimes alt+tab breaks, all it does then is a flicker of the screen and it's not functional anymore. That's usually not happening more than once a week. I can't tell how to reproduce it. To fix it I need to reboot. I wonder if it is a system issue or a launcher issue. I'm using F(x)tec stock launcher.
-
That's very unfortunate. Not wearing any protection I take? Mine dropped 60cm on a wooden floor and got away unscratched. It's always protected by a full leather bookcase from SnakeHive.
-
So you probably got a new phone but they obviously can't guarantee they would always do that 😄
-
Just released v0.7.0. Adding Quick Settings Tile to toggle auto-sync as this as turned out to be a major strain on my battery.
-
does it do landscape?
-
I've been using Pro1 for almost 2 months without getting that issue either. I think until then it had been possibly overheating a couple of times but a reboot always fixed it. This time it was really stuck trying to do something dumb or just slurping my data 🤔 To be fair and as mentioned in the first post it's an issue I observed on well-known brands flagships over the years. Though in the few months I used a Huawei P30 Pro it never exhibited such an issue.

Am I holding it wrong? 😁

Easier said than done since I'm using ActiveSync Provisioning. My understanding is that Gmail is just the frontend using a bunch of Android backend services doing Personal Information Management at the platform level. Things like Contact and Calendar synchronisation. From there flows a few questions: Is ActiveSync Provisioning implemented by those Android services or by Gmail? Are those apps you mentioned just using those Android services or implementing their own stacks of protocol? Was that bug I'm facing really caused by Gmail app layers or is it in fact caused by tho

A couple of days ago my Pro1 started seriously overheating and draining its battery. Rebooting didn't help. After investigation I noticed it was constantly using network bandwidth both upload and download. Settings battery usage was reporting Gmail as being most greedy. Network monitoring tools were in fact showing some Google Service was responsible for that traffic. Turning off auto-sync in Gmail fixed the issue. Battery life is now awesome with the downside that emails and personal info don't sync automatically, obviously. I only have two accounts in Gmail, namely Google Gmail and
