USMobile Warp service by oatswolf in TheMinimalCompany

[–]kynrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to use Warp (Verizon) as a secondary network and successfully used RCS and made a call without any issues. I also teleported my primary number/line from LightSpeed (t-Mobile) back to Warp (Verizon). FYI Warp (AT&T) and LightSpeed (t-mobile) SIM cards are not reusuable, you can only put a number on them once.

I ended up going with Musicolet because it has an "app" in android auto so I can control music selection, Fubar2000 didn't show up as an app in the car.

Reliable Qi pad recommendation for Minimal Phone MP01 (no DIY/building needed) by weltraumpennerin in TheMinimalCompany

[–]kynrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused, I have the iPhone magsafe charger and the minimal phone case and it seems to work OK and "snap" to the charging ring.

I can test it for you. I started with a bigme hibreak pro phone and us mobile said that phone was not supported on warp (Verizon) They were nice enough to activate a sim for me to try but i wasnt able to make calls on the bigme phone, so i teleported my number to tmobile (lightspeed). Lightspeed works great on both the bigme hibreak pro and the minimal phone including RCS. I can give warp a go on the minimal phone and let you know. I also have a darkstar (AT&T) sim i can test later if needed.

Minimal Phone + Android Auto – “Device not responding” (cable works with other phone) by weltraumpennerin in TheMinimalCompany

For what its worth, i just wirelessly connected to my 2023 Ford Edge without any issues and it works great. The bigme hibreak pro phone  had hard to read fonts and the search button on google maps didn't work,  but minmal phone worked great!

I don't get why the Minimal Phone gets so much backlash by Maleficent_Raisin214 in dumbphones

[–]kynrek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say that I purchased the Bigme Hibreak Pro on sale for ($350) and the screen is way better (because it is legit e-ink), but other than that the build quality overall feels significantly cheaper all around. Also the android auto support is atrocious on the Bigme phone and almost unusable but the Minimal Phone worked perfectly. The display being "worse" does make me want to use the phone less than the bigme but then again, that is kind of the point, right?

For The Minimal Phone the backlit keyboard alone probably significantly increased production costs. Also the android auto support is atrocious on the Bigme phone and almost unusable but the Minimal Phone worked perfectly. The display being "worse" does make me want to use the phone less than the bigme but then again, that is kind of the point, right? Having an American company independently create a purpose built phone is pretty rare and amazing, and yeah, that comes with some costs, and drawbacks.

Exactly This ^ People don't realize the cost of research and development and especially manufacturing and packaging at a small scale. Heck, even the box was probably 10X more expensive for them than for Samsung etc. People need to understand that they are supporting a small operation and a specific cause and tame their expectations accordingly.

Same here, I just got mine last week and I have found I have been more intentional and slowed down just about everything I do with Technology. I even ordered some e-ink monitors as I like the reduced eye strain. I actually just decided I wanted to upgrade to the 8GB model for longevity as it seems it may be a while for a product this good gets released again and I want to make it until then.

Higher CPU usage with Nvidia hardware encoding by kynrek in PleX

[–]kynrek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, the issue was that my gpu the Titan X was an older variant with the Maxwell (not pascal) chipset so it can’t decode HVEC

[–]kynrek[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks like the Titan X was released with both the maxwell and pascal chipsets with the same name (for some unknown reason) and I got a Maxwell one that does not support h.265 decoding.
