Astro Slide - Hardware / How to reconnect cables of Display

« on: April 17, 2024, 04:05:23 am »

Hello,

yesterday my as has to been fallen to the floor. Immediately the screen has begun flickering and the colors changed more to blue.
Today it will not further show anything.
One of the sliders coulde be more pulled from the keyboard device so maybe only a cable has been disconnected.
Does anybody know how to reconnect it?

Astro Slide - Android / Re: Dual SIM operation not possible?

« on: July 09, 2023, 11:46:12 am »

That was the correct solution. The Slot 1 is the farest from the edge, Slot 2 is the middle one and the sd-card slot is the nearest.
So at my Astro the SIM must be put to labeled slot 2 to become sim1.

Thank you for help. Maybe it would be nice to leive this information in a how-to-base.

« on: July 09, 2023, 07:30:35 am »

Astro Slide - Android / Dual SIM operation not possible?

« on: July 09, 2023, 07:20:06 am »

Hello,

I have a Main SIM in slot 1 configured and a eSIM for slot 2. Both are from DTAG.
Because of security only sms on main SIM in Slot1 is possible. Becais of SIM Problems which often disconnect the main SIM 1 and I must restart the phone before it will work again i registred the esim on slot 2 with same contract.
If eSIM on Slot 2 is aktivated I can phone, if eSIM is deactivated via eSIM app i cannot call and have no connection. I wonder me that SIM 1 is not used instead of using eSIM on slot 2.
So I restarted the phone with deactivated eSIM and I still cannot connect the AP. Only if I deactivate eSIM to slot 2 in Astro Settings immediately the SIM1 has to been activated again.
Is it possible that using SIM1 and SIM2 at the same time is not possible? I though in the past with my communicator it was running well, but would not really remember thats was a truth.

Astro Slide - Android / Re: Astro Slide in Germany: finding a mobile network operator that actually works

« on: July 09, 2023, 07:09:02 am »

I can confirm same behavior. It also happens on 5G an a configured eSIM on SIM2 (but both at same time, SIM1 and eSIM2 looks like not working, but this is another issue)
By the way the same eSIM on my Cosmo does not have this problem with re/disconnecting and putting the sim in my Sony Xperia III 10 have better stability than in the Astro and Cosmo.

Could it be possible that the astro have problems because using different freq band for DTAG than O₂/Vodafone it does?

In this case it could be a hw problem of design if many people have this problem.

Edit:
My SIM1 and eSIM issue is solved so I have now put my main SIM in the real SIM1 slot (labeled as SIM2) and could also activate eSIM on the real SIM2 slot.
So now i can check whats happen with the connection and the stability on both SIM slots. Remark, both sim are linked to the same number and the same contract, but only SIM1 can handle SMS messaging.

Maybe and my hope is the problem occurs only on SIM2 so SIM1 using is more stable. I'll report.

Astro Slide - General Discussion / Bad Signal quality at 4G and 5G

« on: April 07, 2023, 09:40:03 am »

I cannot Talk about 5G signal quality but I often have no connection and connection aborts if I'm driving so I tried to limit the connection to LTE 4G.
But against my Sony Xperias 10 III Signal strength which is almost good the Astro Slide often loose the connection to 4G also or have a unstable connection for phoning and internet.
So I limit to 2G and now the connection will not often loose any more but I have a poor bandwith.
3G is gone in Gernany so it is not usuable any more.
I remember me that the Communicator also was not so good against my older Sony Xperia 10 but not so bad as the Astro looks like.

Are there some other users which have connection problems on 4G and 5G whether other phones still have no problems?

Cosmo Communicator - Hardware / Re: Power supply problem of my ID Card (German NFC secure chip?)

« on: August 30, 2021, 05:02:32 pm »

Hello,

after first initialisation of id card was done on my workstation the id card could now be used also on the communicator with ausweisapp without any more problems. I'd read that the card needs more or longer power which maybe cannot delivered from the phone. Signing later looks like limits the power so it works now.

Cosmo Communicator - Hardware / Re: Teardown guide for battery and CoDi replacement.

« on: August 30, 2021, 04:58:06 pm »

My Codi is defekt. The glass has a fine break line so I think the display is also destroyed.
Is there a replacement part for the display only? Would be nice to hear something like a p/n.

Cosmo Communicator - Android / Phone will used switch back to them self instead of continue my car connection

« on: July 06, 2021, 03:47:33 am »

Hello,

if I calling from my phone or with my car display remotly the ringing itself is hearing over my car speakers.
But if the call is answered the phone will switch back audio to the phone to hold in the hand which is very bad if im driving.
I can switch back to the car but mostly the caller has been often hang up so I must try it a second and third time.

With other (non Android) phones I did not have such a problem. Maybe it is only related to android.

Any idea how I can change this "feature?" If my phone is connected with my car everything audio should routed to the car without switching back to the phone.

This problem is not related to the car. I got this problem on Volvo XC40 Recharge, Nissan Leaf ZE1, Toyota Yaris 2021 Edition.

Cheers,

Cosmo Communicator - Android / Re: Keyboard Bounces

« on: July 06, 2021, 03:36:44 am »

I have also problems with my communicator also with my gemini. On both some keys must be hit more times before a key is acepted, but some other keys will be create often double or more chars on screen if they be hitted.
It looks like the keyboard and the reading of the key algo is not the best. I hope it will be better on Astro Slide.

Maybe the double key press problems could be solved by made a less sensitive reading algo of the key :-/

I you need a new one check also indiegogo. There is a new perk available as Astro connectivity Kit for 64€.
I't looks like the same which I got for my CC. But on planetcom.co.uk store the hub is also available.

But I think your request is to buy a cheaper used item !?

Cosmo Communicator - Hardware / Power supply problem of my ID Card (German NFC secure chip?)

« on: April 28, 2021, 02:29:53 am »

Yesterday I tried to use my ID Card with my CC and the AusweisApp.
The ID Card NFC chip is found but If I tried to start the security functionality of the card the connection will loose.
I position the card over the camery module because I mean the NFC antenna of the CC should be there. But also moving the card around this area does not fix the issue.
The knowledge base of the AusweisApp means this could be a problem of limited power supply for the NFC because of power save functionality.
Is there a way to modify the power supply to send more power to the nfc secure chip in my ID Card?
