Gemini PDA - General Discussion / Review of my new Gemini

Gemini Review

....

Call quality
Call quality is really good. What more can I say! My recommendation is to use the Gemini with a bluetooth headset - I use  Plantronics Voyager which is great as it tells me who is calling even when the device is closed.

Hi

There seems to be a number of Plantronics Voyager variants - would you mind sharing with us the exact model you use please

Oops, of course its K9! I use both and had a senior moment😀.

I appreciate your reply and I know that some buttons appear as you say, but the reply and new email icons are missing in landscape making it hard to use.

Other thoughts appreciated.

Cheers

Thunderbird issue

Despite Thunderbird being a pre-selected app on the Gemini launcher, it seems to perform poorly in landscape mode, but fine if I force rotation to portrait.  The options that normally appear at the bottom of the page are not accessible in landscape mode. it is not possible to scroll down. Anyone else noticed this? Anyone got a fix?

The 2 images show the difference. Note the extra option features in the portrait mode.

Hi

The screenshots are of K9, not Thunderbird.

I've used K9 in both Portrait and Landscape on my phone for ages now - everything is there, but in a different place.

The grey options bar items that you mention as being at the bottom in Portrait mode can be found on the RHS of the top grey bar in Landscape mode.

I've double checked on my SGS5mini (with a much smaller screen & resolution) and find that with an email "open" I find the similar to what you describe with Portrait vs Landscape except that I also get the "double arrow" (Reply/Reply all/Forward/Share) showing in Landscape BUT when displaying a folder (say Inbox) my SGS5mini shows the same grey bar "icons" in Portrait and Landscape. I think though anything missing in the grey bar in P or L mode will appear as an option if the "button" with 3 vertical dots is selected - e.g. use "Compose" in the "3 dot menu" as opposed to the envelope with + sign in the grey bar.
