Oh I see, I know the Gemini had hinge issues, I was hoping the Cosmo would be better. They don't seem to be the most communicative company. Do you even get the option to upgrade to V25?

I remember getting the notice - but no thanks, too scared to try it.

Or should I try anyway, since got nothing to lose at the moment anyway, hm.

To some extent that's reassuring it lasted 5 years. Can I ask what version of android your using is it V25?

Because I haven't been using it the last few years.

Its hinge already broke, despite always using it very carefully.

Battery is nearly unusable. And request for battery replacement has been ignored for weeks.
Others has been ignored for MONTHS.

And after the scary last upgrade process, I'm still too scared to try upgrading to V25.

Can I ask how long you've had your Cosmo? I believe the Cosmo and Gemini keyboards have 2 key rollover, probably a limitation inherited from the Psion 5mx. So I think the additional characters that are sometimes registered with certain key combinations beyond 2 keys is likely unfixable by software.

I bought it via their Indiegogo campaign - so, about 5 years now.

And have had these problem since day one.

Exactly same problem with my Cosmo.

It's now can only used for WhatsApp - because it won't let itself be copied to my other smartphone ; even then that particular WhatsApp number is managed via browser in my laptop.

So yeah, it's just sitting in my cupboard everyday.

Hi guys,

I have a new Cosmo Communicator, I'm finding the keys sometimes don't register or register multiple times so I make mistakes. I've noticed threads on 'Keyboard Ghosting', not sure if this is what you mean. Is there anything I can do to mitigate it?

I suffer from exactly same problems.

This makes my Cosmo pretty much unusable except for very, very slow typing - which completely beats its purpose.

Any advice appreciated (perhaps keyboard replacement? etc)
