Hi Michi - wow, those issues really suck. I've got an Aquaris 4.5 and
loving it. Until another device with more specs (particularly ram)
surfaces, I'll be sticking with this device.
I'm in Newcastle, and currently 'local' aussie content isn't prolific.
Have created webapps for the bureau of meterology (BOM) - Aussie
Weather, as well as CUA & Bank of Melbourne. I don't have those issues
either with copying music or wifi - I'd be interested to know which
update the phone came with, and what the current one is now. Still very
early days for the system, but I much prefer it to android. Good luck,
and send me an email with anymore ideas for Australian content.
Cheers,
Mitchell

I just got a new Aquaris E5.
The OOB experience was somewhat lacking.
On my first attempt to set up Wifi access, I selected my network, tapped “Show
password”. Then, every time I hit a key on the OSK, I ended up with three or
four random characters. It was impossible to enter the password. I put the
phone down for a while. Returned to it (screen had locked itself in the mean
time), and tried again, this time without “Show password”. On this second
attempt, the keyboard worked as it should.
After setup (I allowed location data), the phone correctly got my location
(well, within 10 km or so—there is no SIM in the phone). However, it still set
my time zone to UTC+0, even though it should be UTC+10.
The today scope showed me the weather in Brisbane (well, near there), using
Fahrenheit units. Here in Australia, we use Celsius but neither Today scope nor
Weather scope allow me to change units. After changing the language to English
(Australia), I get Celsius. However, I prefer to use US English for spelling
and the like. Mashing language and units together in this way is fine for
setting defaults, but not if there is no way to change one without also
changing the other.
I then copied a bunch of music files onto the phone, using drag and drop from
Nautilus. The copy started out quite well but, after a few seconds, transfer
speed got less and less. After a few dozen files, it was down to 20 KB/sec.
(Each file is a little over 8 KB in size.) Now, after 300 files, it’s still
copying, but transfer speed has dropped to 6.5 KB per second, and is still
dropping steadily (5.5 KB per second after 400 files). Now, after 15 minutes of
waiting, it has transferred 4.2 MB (500 files) out of 8.7 MB total, and it
tells me that I need to wait another 15 minutes for the remaining 4.5 MB, with
the reported transfer speed at 4.5 KB/sec.
The summary is that, so far, I tried to do four things: enable Wifi access, get
the current time, look at the weather, and copy some files into the Music
folder. Not one of these worked as expected. Not a good first impression.
Anyone know what the appropriate projects in launchpad are to report these
issues?
Thanks,
Michi.
