[Reboots on its own] - I have this problem too, but more like once a week.
To be honest it's not really daily for me either. I didn't take notes. But it's definitely more than once a week.
[keyboard backlight doesn't turn off] - Does this mean [a] keyboard backlight stays on when lid is closed, or keyboard backlight stays on when not touching any keys but does turn off when lid closed? Mine behaves like . I kind of like this, I often use it to read in the dark and I like seeing the keyboard even if I'm not typing. But it would be nice to have the option to poke a key like [Ctrl] to wake the keyboard backlight up.
I don't think it stays on when it's closed. It's good that it stays on while the screen is on and maybe a bit longer. But it usually never turns off when it's sitting on the desk open and left alone. But at other times the setting changes to off while it's in my pocket so I also can't trust it to be always on. It feels like it's always off when I pull it out in the dark.
[CoDi update notification] - I haven't had this problem. Although I do find my CoDi wakes up even when persistent notification changes state, like if battery level goes down a percent or my step count goes up. CoDi wakes up *a lot*.
The other day I opened the lid and there was no notification endlessly searching for updates. I thought something was wrong. The notification is my constant companion every day. I don't even know why it exists. There's nothing to be notified of, even if it wouldn't hang.
[Settings reset to default] - I haven't had this problem.
I've read about it at least once here. So, I'm not sure if you're lucky or I'm unlucky.
[Rotate sucks] [...]
I was used to that on the Gemini. And I just realised that the strange behaviour may come from the Tasker app that I never got to auto rotate. I didn't remove the configuration that was supposed to auto rotate. I'll see if that gets better when I remove the app.
[Bluetooth] - Haven't had any problems with it turning off and on.
I think it's not bluetooth specifically. Sometims airplane mode randomly turns on while it's in my pocket. And when I still had CoDi on it would sometimes redial the last number which got some people very annoyed. So maybe that's connected to it unlocking itself randomly.
[WiFi] - My WiFi has behaved perfectly, but I always leave it on even when out and about on mobile data. I only turn it off rarely (like if I'm in the car loading directions and I'm close enough to the house to get WiFi signal but the signal is very poor).
Sometimes it turns off when I tap the icon, but never for more than a few seconds.
[Scrolling pictures] - I haven't changed my background picture yet. Maybe now, after your horror story, I won't.
To still be honest, it didn't take two days to change it back. It took a few hours. But then I wanted to know what had happened and selected a picture with the same dimension agains and it started to rotate constantly again. That's why I know that really was the cause. I tried to change it back again for a while but wasn't quick enough. Tried again the next day and managed to do it after a while. Somehow that became "two days" in my head when I wrote my previous post. (Maybe because it was the second day.)
I've also realized that there are good Bluetooth keyboards out there and thanks to this forum, there is a way to have Linux running well under Android using Devuan. I haven't tried this yet but really looking forward to it. The two big reasons I backed the Cosmo were for the keyboard and for linux. I realize now that I could probably answer those with BT-kbd and with Devuan-method using any modern Android phone.
Yeah, same here. I'm more of a thumb-typer on the phone anyway. So now that I know the F(x)tec Pro¹ exists, I think I'll try that. Hopefully I'll have a chance to try it out without buying it first. I still type best on a Nokia Communicator though. I don't know what it is, but that keyboard seems to be designed specifcally for my fingers. I wish there was a phone pretty much exactly like that but with newer hardware.
