Cannot recommend this phone to anyone
michael.bosscha replied to Khalid's topic in General Discussion
Hmmm... I held down a+s and after that started going with my finger over the keyboard. It worked, even though I got a string of s's first. But that might be because my finger wasn't pressing it down correctly, registering a new press every so often. Works like a charm though. I do understand where your anxiety comes from though, as I had some keyboard problems myself in the beginning as well. But even the missing spacebar presses were fixed by that OTA. What a wonder of modern technology... -

Yup. 30 days and a bit. -

Is there a way to find out without downloading extra apps? I'm quite confident it's been going for at least a week or 4. Honestly, after the OTA was pushed, I can't quite remember if I rebooted it or not... -
Issues I have experience so far and other thoughts
michael.bosscha replied to NukaNegan's topic in General Discussion
It's so strange that the experience people have with the phone vary so wildly. Is there so much difference in build quality that the software suffers from it? In all honesty, dragging the N900 into the discussion again is... not fair. Maemo itself was built as an OS specifically for internet tablets, not smartphones. I quite vividly remember that the quick-start of the N900 had the possibility of calling at the very last page, almost as an afterthought. That being said, Android supports hardware keyboards out of the box. They even have a page dedicated to it! -
I concur: especially for a startup, this phone is very, very good. I know the long production time has people irked but in all honesty: it's worth it. There's small bugs and little things that can be done better, sure. But I find this phone very pleasant to work with. Just... ditch the curved screen next round...

Odd, I've downloaded and executed the app just fine. I'm running stock Android and the last OTA I got was the one that fixed the keyboard, nothing else.

The video proves that this mechanism will require a lot of muscle memory. And I'm not entirely sure how they're planing on connecting the screen in a durable way to the rest of the chassis. For me this is a no go, it all looks quite flimsy, plus the aforementioned weird way of pushing the screen out, up, back down and back over the chassis doesn't inspire faith. This device is way too big for me. I'm already struggling with the Pro1 at certain moments, this will not do. It's a complete different target audience for sure...

Yeah, the update feels like it has tremendously improved keyboard useability. I thought I'd be stuck with non-responsive keys because it would've seemed a hardware issue but this is golden. No issues here!

I most certainly do! Let's make it so!

So what happens is either of two things: 1) You mirror the screen of your phone onto a TV screen; 2) You tell an app with Castability to go and load something onto the screen. The first drains your battery. The second doesn't, because after it gives the command, that's it. Your phone now works like a remote control, nothing else. But for all this to work, your TV needs to either have a built-in Chromecast (most smart TVs nowadays do) or a Chromecast dongle, which you put in a free HDMI port. In both cases, you need to have a wifi network set up and running. After plugging in t

The rattle in my case is noticable when just typing, it kind of bugs me but I'm going to live with it for this iteration. A Pro² should have that fixed though...
-
Yes, and it makes finding an answer almost undoable. The forum hierarchy, as said, desperately needs an overhaul!

I got An OTA yesterday that supposedly would fix the unresponsive keyboard issue, but als, no dice. I clacked open a few minutes ago but again, the only key to respond is the Fx key 😕

The whole OMG ITS A SCAM thing is getting old. Sure, I understand people don't like how this is being handled but this is ridiculous...

So, right now we're seeing an influx of a lot of forum post that are the same. Ik think it's about time the forum gets split up into its respective subjects instead of presenting it as one big single website. So, for example, a SUPPORT forum where people van post questions, which is separate from a TECHNICAL SUPPORT forum. It makers it all a little bit easier to see where's what and would probably stop the wild growth of more of the same kind of posts. @Erik, @Waxberry, @EskeRahn? Let's make the forum niet only a nice place, but also an easy one to find the info one needs!

I'm getting the strong impression that at least some keys need to be pressed rather hard to get registered; the top offenders being the spacebar and the e. Anyone else with similar issues? The spacebar issue is something I remember from the N900 as well because of the way the spacebar is laid out over several key positions underneath, but it's a pity the problem returened here. Also: the side of the screen without the support beam behind it (right side landscape) tends to wobble while typing, creating a sound by ticking against the main body. Not a dealbreaker, but it's kind of annoying a

The phone is scheduled for monday 18:00. Oh, wait, I already have it. ❤

So... Yay for me, I got my phone! I was just wondering if and how I can let the keyboard stay lit? Mods, feel free to merge this with something else but I'm not sure where. Can we make a Support thread?

Lock phone when closing slider
michael.bosscha replied to Slion's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
The Beast was The Best. But I too would love a Lock upon closing. I'll check if Tasker can suit my goals. -
On delivery and local customs issues

I'm not cheering too soon, but... I got a present today, without extra costs. If I don't get any invoices, I'll let y'all know 😊 -

michael.bosscha replied to EskeRahn's topic in General Discussion
I've been in contact with both FX and Fedex, FX gave me a form to forward, Fedex was OK with a "oh, right, so you're not a company and only a person delivering it to an address which happens to be a company?" confirmation. If they're going to start with "here's an invoice because we want money" I have the DDP on-hand... -
Seriously? Let me check! [EDIT] omg you're right! Delivery monday 27th!.. at 18:00? Crap. Gotta make sure I'm in then, I'm delivering it to the shop and that closes at 18:00...
