Astro Slide - Android / Re: Proper backup of the Gemini BEFORE the Astro arrives

I have used Wondershare Mobile Trans & Wondershare Dr.Fone for a few years on my mobiles but not sure if they can handle the Gemini or not.

Astro Slide - Hardware / Re: Planet USB-C to HDMI Video Cable

I wrote to the PC asking if the cosmo cable is the same as the astro cable or if it's a software problem. There are still no answers.

Have never had a reply from PC on AstroSlide 5G questions and have also asked that they consider adding AstroSlide 5G to there Support site.  No reply!!!!

The IGG states its USB-HDMI? 

I tried the PC USB-to-HDMI adapter from my Cosmo, and it doesn't seem to work on the Astro. I noticed that the indiegogo page claimed "USB to DisplayPort"  rather than HDMI, so maybe it'll be a new cable.

Astro Slide - Android / Moving your backup to the Astro Slide

« on: August 04, 2022, 07:11:29 am »

Hi
Have managed to download and install the latest 'Agenda' release (from update link No 70) on my Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact.. Android 10.  Never realised that you have to create another gmail account for it to work!!!!!

To date it has been working well and no problems with reported faults like when changing from landscape to portrait.

Although have had the odd freeze up but I put this down to moving on before the program data has been updated.... little slow to act.... smartphone is getting on like me.

Have you any advice you can offer when restoring my smartphone backup to the Astro Slide when I get it?  In other words transferring my setup to the new Astro.

Just received UK PC Pro Mag.
Iss 318 April 2021 and on page 39, CES 2021, List’s, Planet Computers Astro Slide Price Around £800 Available JUNE 2021.
…………………While there have been setbacks, most notably the need to drop down from a 2.4GHz Media Tek Dimensity 1000 SoC to the 2GHz Dimensity 800, Planet Computers assures us the Astro Slide is still snappy while deliverying on the key needs of its backers; …………full review as soon as the product starts shipping.

Have also produced an update of the spec to show changes and it does not look great!!!!

2.4GHz Media Tek Dimensity 1000 SoC: Bit suspicious about only being made available to Chinese market?  Years ago when I was in Malaysia I remarked that there seems to be a lot of bike & electrical products that are not available in UK and was told that the Japanese release them to find the bugs and then sell to US and European market under another name.
