A maybe interesting observation: In the Files App, just as on any personal computer, you can move objects (docs, pics, etc.) to a level called “Desktop” or even make a “Link To” (i.e. shortcut) for said object, but it doesn’t actually display anywhere in a visible form on the phone’s app list screen or on the wallpaper screen.
@amarok: Just wondering whether you have tested the GPS.
Is there any app that you have used that shows that it is working / not working? (Obviously the camera app would be one such but the camera itself is not ready.) I suppose you would also have had to have ventured outside of the house, which for COVID and other reasons, may not have happened yet.
No; I don’t really see a way to test it (if it’s even ready as a function yet). There’s no setting yet for “Location” like you would find on Android or iOS, as far as I know.
Map displays well. When I tell it to find my location, it pulls up a dialog telling me to enable location services, with a button that takes me nowhere. (Still no official Location settings in the phone’s menu.)
Hopefully, something official will be implemented before long.
@kieran, @db579, @prolog
Just realized there IS a Location Services in the settings, and it’s On, but it never helped with Maps. Sorry about the misinformation! I suspect it’s just not implemented yet.
Finally remembered to get and test the second Q heifer but no sign of the double-tap or did not work at all. Was it suppose to be included in the plain amber phone images (6044, 6119, updated)…?
You didn’t, thanks for saying that Maybe with one comment: the phone will stop drawing power automatically once the voltage drops below a certain threshold, and setting a high value won’t necessarily mean that it will draw that much power (it’s just the maximum limit), so with well-behaving chargers it shouldn’t really be dangerous. However, keep in mind that not all chargers are well-behaving.
Let me stress the importance of another warning though:
i2cset is a low level tool that allows you to directly set certain hardware registers. Always make sure you have typed the arguments correctly since you may be one typo away from breaking your hardware. When it doubt, consult the datasheet.
The charging ability of a device is a pair of values: voltage and current. So your device might have the rating of 5V and 2A. This will be noted as sth like 5V·2A or 5V, 2A, or 5V@2A. But I’ve never seen “5V == 2A”, and let no one be fooled that there’s any kind of equality there
You are thinking to much like a low level developper !
I used == because my lazy ass didn’t looked for the DC symbol Unicode character
So by (5V == 2A) I meant (5V ⎓ 2A)
I’ll edit my post
Nah, I’m thinking about all the people without much physics knowledge that might come here and misinterpret the mental shortcuts those more experienced take. Thanks for updating!
can you find the app ‘Metadata Cleaner’ on the L5 store ?
just noticed this GUI-front-end on PureOS-10-Byzantium store today and wondered if it’s on L5 as well.
