Not sure if it’s appropriate for me to join the thread with my thoughts but I’ve also had my FP5 for 3 days now.
- I also found the ring loudness to be a bit high even at the lowest non-vibrate setting. As a workaround, I just tried to find a ringtone that doesn’t sound so loud.
- If you find a launcher (preferrably a FLOSS one from F-Droid?) that suits you, let me know. I also don’t like that unremovable date, but otherwise am OK with the default launcher and would rather not switch to something jam packed with features I don’t care for.
- So far I haven’t had trouble hitting the back button. I used to use gestures on my old phone but I have mixed feelings about them and might want to stick with the buttons on FP5. I think the traditional three buttons are easier and quicker to use (e.g. when browsing the web or in application menus), but they are also easier to press by accident e.g. when using the camera!
A new one I’d like to know if others are affected by:
- I’m finding double tap to wake to be very unreliable. I just tried it five times and it didn’t wake a single time. Sometimes it does, but if I want it to wake for sure, I need to just keep tapping until the screen comes on and that could take anywhere from 6 to 20+ taps… also, at one point I found out the setting had disabled itself
EDIT: I just rebooted and tap to wake got disabled again.
