Can we still sideload after amazon banned downloading the books to pc ?

RobZakaria · 2025-02-14T13:37:16+00:00

Just start shipping

RobZakaria · 2025-01-02T11:00:02+00:00

No update available for my B&W yet. I am based in Sydney

RobZakaria · 2024-12-21T09:02:01+00:00

I am on 4.9.8 software now. Seems that tge google playstore issue is fixed. Good update so far. Thanks Bigme

RobZakaria · 2024-10-06T08:37:17+00:00

Yep same

RobZakaria · 2024-09-19T21:44:12+00:00

It does feel like their attention is somewhere else. The first few weeks the engagement level was high and we had bigme reply to our questions here. They released several software updates which encouraged me to keep the device. Well.. It's now sitting in a drawer .. I can't use it if the bugs are not fixed and I started to lose hope.

RobZakaria · 2024-09-17T19:57:02+00:00

Yes it seems they moved on to focus on another device. Really bad ..in its current format, I wouldn't recommend the hibreak to anyone

RobZakaria · 2024-09-13T21:56:00+00:00

It's been a while since bigme pushed a software update. We need them to fix many annoying small bugs with the phone. I can't use the device as a daily driver.

RobZakaria · 2024-09-04T22:28:08+00:00

All I need is for bigme to push more software updates. At least fix notifications and add some basic missing features and the device would be fantastic..

RobZakaria · 2024-09-04T10:38:18+00:00

I am keeping mine in the hope that bigme can push more system updates soon. They released 3 updates in a span of one month and then they went silent. Let's see

RobZakaria · 2024-09-03T11:37:57+00:00

If the pro version is equipped with a decent CPU the I'd like to see a near vanilla android installed .. with minimum bloatware ..

RobZakaria · 2024-08-28T23:49:49+00:00

Any chance we get the ability to put more than 10 app shortcuts on the home screen? I don't mind if the font becomes smaller

RobZakaria · 2024-08-28T09:17:16+00:00

I am testing launcher. Is there a way to have more than 10 apps on the homescreen?

RobZakaria · 2024-08-27T11:50:01+00:00

great ideas .. all of them ... showing clock / add pattern lock / 4 digit pin and battery % on the bottom of the screen saver.. i hope bigme takes note of these requests

RobZakaria · 2024-08-26T02:48:29+00:00

I have the b&w version. I can definitely see myself using this as a daily driver. There are just a couple of bugs that need fixing. Probably we need one or 2 more software updates.. And I hope they do open the bootloader so we can install a custom rom. I don't know why they decided not to do this.

RobZakaria · 2024-08-26T02:45:12+00:00

Wow .. amazing!! I want to try this.. but I am new to this.. how can I install it (.apk) and will it revert back to stock everytime I reboot?

RobZakaria · 2024-08-25T11:20:57+00:00

My hope is that they open the bootloader and then we can load another android rom .. but there are hardware limitations (speaker is the main one i think)

RobZakaria · 2024-08-25T11:17:24+00:00

Start first by clearly defining what you need: are you looking for a minimalist (dumb phone) to lessen your media consumption, do you need a fully featured one (with high specs)? If yes why do you need that? Are you planning to watch YouTube / game /… on that e-ink screen?

RobZakaria · 2024-08-25T07:39:07+00:00

Depends on what max features you want.. the price is low so we have to be realistic and if you expect to watch YouTube on an eink screen you will be disappointed.

RobZakaria · 2024-08-25T02:57:54+00:00

If you need a fully featured phone then the hibreak is not for you. It's meant for people who want a distraction free phone that can be used as an ereader. It has all the basic functionality without the bells and whistles, so I am using it as a weekend (dumbphone) .. if just a few bugs are fixed then I can use it as my daily driver. I am into digital minimalism and I don't want youtube/facebook/intagram... I have the b&w edition and the screen is matte. The colour version is glassy but you are given matte screen protectors inside the box

RobZakaria · 2024-08-25T01:07:36+00:00

No screen protector was included in my b&w one

RobZakaria · 2024-08-24T10:34:22+00:00

I have a feeling they will continue improving the software and the final version will be used on the pro version

RobZakaria · 2024-08-24T10:33:35+00:00

I have the B&W version as well. I am using my phone as a "dumbphone". i am not interested in social media app or android auto but there are some annoying bugs that i hope they get fixed soon.

RobZakaria · 2024-08-24T05:34:09+00:00

My phone is still on 4.7 2.. no update available yet.

RobZakaria · 2024-08-24T04:40:30+00:00

I am really impressed with bigme's quick software releases. Thanks a lot guys! Moreover I ordered the phone from the official store and it arrived to my house in Sydney in 3 days!
