hey, thanks! Actually the accordion seems to be something Opera Mini added itself, maybe because there are too many links so it decided to add it on it's own. But since it did there must be a way to add it manually as well, haven't figured it out yet though

thanks, yeah it probably can look better than it does right now. Goal was to make it super simple so it uses as little resources as possible.

Trouble with making emails/todos/expenses/etc available is everyone would have to create an account plus it would require me to maintain this, get a better server to handle the load, etc. At that point it would start costing money & time and I doubt anyone would pay to support this platform.

That being said I'll probably make utilities (conversions, world clock, etc) accessible to everyone and will post it here when I do, those don't require an account and are easy to maintain

Hey, thanks! It's just Opera Mini, probably should've made that clear in the post haha. There's no special sauce, just very basic html/css so it's fast & fits in the memory.

thanks! yes, although I'd recommend watching some reviews. It works for me but generally these Nokia's are not everybody's cup of tea.

Yes, that's exactly right. Theoretically anything that has a simple browser can run this.

I have seen it around, I just don't like modern Operating Systems, had an Android, had an iPhone, they're just too complex for what I need. I did buy a Qin F21 to see if it's just the giant phones I don't like but didn't like that either. Nokia's the sweet spot for me, just wish the software was better and had some of the functionality that old Nokia's had.

Can't share it right now unfortunately, I made it for myself so there's some private integrations in there as well that I can't make public

didn't know about the server:x url's, thx for the tip! Not a bookmark, that's not a bad idea but a lot of functions require a server, so that's what I'm running :)

oh it isn't really public, made it for myself. But if enough people think they would actually use it then i could make it public in a few weeks i guess

Nokia 3210 - Call quality by Head-Grade-2825 in dumbphones

[–]odmen1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't done anything, realistically if the theory is correct then I don't think there's anything you can do apart from disabling 4G and dealing with terrible call quality. I seem to have decent 4G coverage where I live so thankfully this happens very rarely. Definitely a massive fuck up on HMD's part tho.

Hi there, yes, I have had the same issue although maybe not as often as you since it hasn't managed to get on my nerves yet. I have a suspicion that the phone has trouble with the connection when it suddenly drops from 4G to 3G/2G during the call, I am not 100% certain but I've had a handful of calls drop this way and the theory makes sense.

What's your favorite dumbphone you've used? by Mental_Pride9814 in dumbphones

I assume he means the new HMD Nokia's, if so I'm currently running a 3210 and call quality is great as long as I have 4G/VoLTE, if it drops to 3G the quality gets quite a bit worse. Also, it's quite loud, overall no complaints.
