OK, I've a kept a running log of issues I've observed...
Some of these have been reported, some may have been
fixed with the last update and I need to re-test, but here
goes...
- Cosmo randomly thinks it's being charged when not connected to anything.
Only rebooting will correct the state.
- Occasionally the Cosmo seems to do some sort of reset, loosing recent calls,
activities, running apps are shutdown, etc.
- Cosmo frequently "locks" itself while it is open and in the middle of me doing something.
- Bluetooth on the Cosmo (like the Gemini) is still a mess:
- I try to stream media (ONLY) to my car stereo (Ford Sync)... It can require 5-10
connection attempts from the stereo. Most of the time, if I am quick enough in
telling the stereo to retry (after a fail), then it manages to get connected. Does
this indicate the Cosmo's bluetooth stack is just too slow?
- Turning on earpiece (for only calls/contacts) often kills separate playing media
connection
- Cosmo Keyboard backlight:
- The backlight should come on/off based on front ambient light levels
(if you step into total darkness, it's challenge to turn on the backlight).
- The backlight should turn off/on with screen sleep
(it now stays on when screen sleeps).
- Cosmo outside screen:
- The screen needs to have (at least an option for) a default non-interactive mode!
As it is, when you first close the Cosmo, the outside screen is active and
just putting it in your pocket often causes totally unintended calls, settings
changes, etc. It really sucks to find your phone spent the last few hours in
airplane mode or you answered a call (you didn't want) just pulling phone
from your pocket!
- The "non-interactive" mode should only become interactive on an explicit
(configurable?) action - silver button press, rocker press or screen double- or
triple-tap.
- Is it possible the outside screen remains active when you open it? Occasionally
it seems unintended actions when the Cosmo is opened. Naturally, one can't
see what's happening there when you open the Cosmo.
- The outside screen is frequently very slow to react, then it misinterprets swipes
as selections or just does not respond, etc
- Outside LEDs (on toggle switch) can stop showing - requiring a total restart
(just reseting the outside display fixed nothing)
- Enhancement - When flashlight is on, make silver button turn off the flashlight?
- When answering a call with the Cosmo is in "silver button answers in speaker phone"
mode, it interferes w/ bluetooth calls. You can hear the call ring in your earpiece,
but when the call connects, then it goes to speakerphone mode. It seems like
this functionality should not supercede bluetooth earpiece use.
- Could there be an option to just answer to speaker phone mode if keyboard is open
(& no bluetooth device takes precedence)?
- Why do I frequently see "89" appear in things that recieve text input when I reopen
my Cosmo? ....some sort of leftover debugging code?
- Need an option to simply set which is speaker/mic on exterior vs. the automatic
reorientation switching! ...or have an option not to switch orientation during a call.
It's awfully difficult to carry on a call while holding the phone working on something
- bend over and you essentially loose the call.
- Notes app:
- backup to a local file does not appear to work. You can select a path, then
no backup file is saved and all you can do is cancel out.
- you should be able to set the path where the notes are stored by default.
- The Agenda app:
- should have a setting whether it will involve google maps?
What if you do not want to be spied on??
