Another correction: I get noise on the headphone output if and only if a charger is connected to the RHS (or bottom in portrait mode) USB connector (and powered). Just connect the charger to the other (LHS/top) USB connector of the Astro Slide to get rid of the noise.

... and it's now stuck on the last page of the welcome screen.  I now have an expensive "start button" display.
Try a factory reset:
- boot to recovery (hold the Volume+ button while booting)
- use the Volume- button to select the "Wipe data/factory reset" line
- press the power button to perform the selected action
- use the Volume- button to select the "Factory data reset" line
- press the power button to perform the selected action
- wait
- press the power button to reboot ("Reboot system now" selected)

If you get "No command." instead of the recovery, press the power button, keep it pressed, then press the Volume+ button, and release both buttons.

Astro Slide - Android / Re: Keyboard layout doesnt fit

The problem is caused by enabling "Magnification shortcut" in the Accessibility settings! Disabling magnification makes the keyboard work again.

Telefónica also works (4G and 2G, cannot test 5G).

Looks like the selection of "Android keyboard" vs. "Gemini keyboard" for integrated keyboard idoesn't take effect and the Android always uses its own keyboard. I don't remember whether it was "Astro keyboard" or "Gemini keyboard" before installing the alpha version of Planet Keyboard. (Installing that update didn't make any difference for the problem at hand.)

I guess Planet's keyboard implementation no longer can be loaded or activated and Android falls back to Android keyboard.

Now the same thing happened to my Astro. After several days without keyboard trouble, all of a sudden, it started to ignore any configured keyboard layout for the hardware keyboard. Apparently, it uses some minimal key layout tablewhich looks like English US (shift+3 is number sign) and only has non-character mappings (such as brightness control) for FN.

I wonder: Is there someone who can report that the Astro does _not_ have digital noise on the analog audio output? Is this a basic design flaw or a production issue?

So far, I haven't gotten any noise on the headphone output. Tried Power Amp, VLC, and FM Radio, all while using 4G data.

Use mtkclient instead of SP Flash Tool. No scatter file needed.

See

for hiding rooting from banking apps. Works for me on the Astro Slide.

The ghosting patch seems to work! I will try to clean it up and post it on Github this weekend.
Edit: here it is: https://github.com/planet-com/astro-kernel/pull/1

Could you please tell us how to build and install the Android kernel?

Gemini PDA - Sailfish OS / How do I enter a security code?
« on: July 12, 2018, 03:04:49 pm »
How do I tell Sailfish OS that I've finished entering the security code (on the "enter new security code" pane)?
There are buttons for the 10 digits, a button for deleting the last digit, and a Cancel button, but no "OK" button
and the physical keyboard does not work here. Swiping also doesn't help.
