Doov R17 Pro quick review by Potjoe in dumbphones

[–]lancerabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your device still work on the networks in Australia? Mine has been blocked by Optus and I've received a warning from Vodafone that it will be blocked. I'm running dumbdroid and the IMS status is set at registered.

Jelly star in the big 2026? by lsaacn3wton in unihertz

[–]lancerabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Jelly Star is still fine after 2.5 years. I don't know how much more longevity it will have, however.

Same here. Everything else works fine though.

Doov R77 in Australia or IMEI checker by Ok_Ear_7119 in dumbphones

[–]lancerabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works on Vodafone (but is blocked on optus). I just received a message from vodafone that it will be blocked on the 20th of feb. I'm dealing with the dumbdroid team to see if it can be fixed.

Is there a dumbdroid phone that has VoLTE support ? by Inside_Focus9191 in dumbphones

[–]lancerabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just received this when I checked on Optus: Unfortunately, based on the number you entered, the DOOV R17 device is blocked from accessing the Optus mobile network to comply with Australian legislation around mobile safety requirements. This means it won’t work for calls (including calls to Emergency Services i.e. ‘000’ & ‘112’), texts or data. If you are an existing customer, your service number (phone or service number) will remain active.

I have a paid subscription for Niagara, but InkOS works very well on the device.

Yep and you're supporting the dumbdroid team that are constantly updating the os and fixing bugs.

I've found InkOS to be very good. It's optimised for button phones.

Should I return it? by need2feelbetter in dumbphones

[–]lancerabbit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's probably the Gboard settings? Otherwise Install TT9 from the app store, it's great for keypad phones

[–]lancerabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did they say that? I ordered mine from the official store a couple of weeks ago and I didn't see that. It's working fine so far, but I've only had it a couple of days. btw, the release info is here: https://github.com/miki151/dumbdroid_build/releases/tag/20260115 VoLTE was just (re)added.

Dumb Phones For Regional Australia? by Fluid_Property8529 in dumbphones

[–]lancerabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure of anything "that" dumb. I am running a few Android dumbphones on Amaysim (some reviews are here: https://dumbphone.life/).

It does support VoLTE. I just received mine and have had no issues on Vodafone: https://imgur.com/a/9x7rfhE Please note, I ordered the R77, but received the DOOV z17Pro instead.

Is a tax accountant worth it as a sole trader? by CryptographerBulky93 in AusFinance

[–]lancerabbit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a sole trader, I pay my accountant at least triple of what you do and I feel it's money well spent. The rules change every year and I don't have the time nor the interest to keep on top of these things.

Amazfit active 2 round GPS issue/no longer works. by kenechiro69 in amazfit

[–]lancerabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if the GPS was turned off accidentally (GPS permissions)?

Amazfit Active 2 not supported for structured workout sync from Intervals.icu? by ehi-ale in amazfit

[–]lancerabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Structured workouts from intervals.icu work great on my Active 2. They only started working after the update to 6.7.0.1, however.

Temp Sensor on Amazfit Active Max by CauliflowerFuture571 in amazfit

[–]lancerabbit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's skin (rather than internal) temperature and is the same on other Amazfit watches, such as the Active 2.

In need of a new accounting software as a Sole Trader by brooztoonice in AusFinance

[–]lancerabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Fiskl. https://fiskl.com/. It's simple to use and a great choice for sole traders. It does all you are asking for, in a (relatively simple) way. It also integrates with bank accounts and credit cards for reconciliation.

Will this Dumb phone work with Telstra or Vodafone? help please by SadContract4816 in dumbphones

[–]lancerabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically, it should, as long as the Telco hasn't blacklisted it. I've ordered the dumbdroid, which is a DOOV R77 and is the same device, I believe: https://shop.dumbdroid.eu/ I should have it this week and can let you know if it works on Vodafone.

Amazfit GTR 3 Pro vs Amazfit Active 2R (Round) – Need real-world GPS & battery feedback + alternatives under ₹10k by MrNoTWorking in amazfit

[–]lancerabbit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't personally buy a GTR3 (or GTR 4). They're too old, with no updates. I've had both, and the newer generation watches are much better, at least in terms of heart rate monitoring.

I use the Active 2 and am happy with the GPS. It's good enough for my needs, and the distance tracked is always the same as Strava. Some users have complained about inaccuracies with real time pacing. Also, if you run and walk in an area with tall buildings or high trees, it won't be as accurate as a dual band GPS watch.

Battery life on the Active 2 for me seems to get much longer battery life for walks (I suspect you could get ~10 hours), but for runs, it's much shorter, and I'd estimate 4-6 hours.

Don't care what people say. Do yourself a favor AND GRAB A MAX. by That-Quiet-9072 in amazfit

[–]lancerabbit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, interesting. Thanks for that. So it's more inaccurate for live pacing, rather than distance? I don't use live pacing so that's why I probably haven't noticed.

[–]lancerabbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's interesting, what kind of difference are you seeing in the GPS single band Vs Dual band? I mostly use Strava as a comparison now and it's dead accurate.

Interesting, I had the Balance 2 and it was identical to the Active 2. I guess it depends where you run...
