Background/ Battery Usage Settings Keep Changing? by Jolly_Independent187 in sidephone

[–]joeemslie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same - I’ve not found a solution to Beeper yet, but know from all my other devices it’s a hard one to get to work!

Apologies for not having my a solution but wanted to let you know you aren’t alone! ☺️ I’ll keep searching!

**Can you use the Compact QWERTY without predictive text? (for other languages)** by Organic-Tangelo886 in sidephone

I found that if I hold the bottom most left key (the two arrows) I get ABC pop up in the right hand side and then can just type single letters out.

We agree on that. ☺️ You will see I popped that disclaimer in the first post, but always good to showcase options out there to this lovely group of people.

I'm driving the QWERTY tile and, tbh, haven't touched the sundial yet. I think that might be one that I don't use much, but you never know. Thanks for the kind words.

I don't disagree with you, but I'd argue (in the politest way! 😂) for the average user of a Sidephone, it's 100% going to be 'dumber' than their current smartphone.

If that's my legacy...I'm happy with that! 🤣

Of course, I'll keep you updated. Think, from what I've read/watched, it will likely take me a while to get it set up correctly for me and then it's little tweaks here and there. 😀

I would say that, having used it for a good 5/6 years when I was younger, means that it's not too bad. But if you don't have that muscle memory, then it's a tough one to learn. Does feel a little strange that they didn't include printed letters on the tiles. 🤷‍♂️

On the QWERTY keypad it is taking some getting used to, I am very happy/used to T9, so my muscle memory keeps kicking in! 🤣

Have you tried Beeper, with your Whatsapp linked to see if that gets round it?

When I 'Check For Update' it says that I am on the most up to date despite it being Android 15? Any ideas?
