Re: [ubuntu-uk] Further Ubuntu phone observations

Ok, now I've discovered the perils of a non-removable battery. The phone app crashed again so I rebooted. Now I have a blank screen with backlight on and can't turn the phone off! I'll give it a go, fingers crossed! On 25/03/15 10:48, Jon Spriggs wrote: I think the Ubuntu One login system

[ubuntu-uk] Further Ubuntu phone observations

Having spent my first whole day with the phone today I have to say it has been a real mixed experience. It feels like I could really get to like the interface but it is currently suffering from a few show stoppers (as you would expect right now). I have spent the whole day on the move today

Yes, I am aware of this, yet I can't break the android habit of expecting to push a button and have them listed like a start menu or the dash. Habit I guess. On 23/03/15 15:28, Tony Pursell wrote: Apps are in the Apps scope -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu phone issues not good for Ubuntu reputation

Is it just me or have Canonical chosen a bunch of cowboys to ship the first phone? After the initial server issues causing problems for buyers I managed to lay my hands on one. Shortly after someone mentioned that the free case being offered to early adopters did not show on their invoice and

Having said that I've had it since about 2pm and I've broken it already! Looking at the scopes there is a star icon at the top right, it took several clicks before I realised it was removing my scope screens (nearby, weather etc). I don't have the manual with me so does anyone know how to put

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu phone issues not good for Ubuntu reputation

Buying this phone is a big leap of faith, the hardware is pretty immaterial and we trust that the software will be developed and taken seriously enough to become fully featured in time. I think it's an amazing start. Having said that I've had it since about 2pm and I've broken it already!

Ubuntu phone once it arrives, because it's the first time I've ever been able to afford to be at the front of the trend! On 06/03/15 09:10, Gordon Burgess-Parker wrote: Hi all, Just trying to get a straw poll of what phones people use here and why... Cheers Gordon --
