Waited weeks for this and was so excited it finally arrived today. Unboxed it, put it on charge, and....nothing. Won't boot up, no signs of life. He's dead, Jim.

Now I have to send it back and wait who knows how long if I want a replacement. Probably just going to ask for a refund; I can't wait another 4-6 weeks or wait for one to ship from the September batch. Ugh!

Mildly infuriating, highly disappointing.

Sounds pretty minimal to me

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 32 points 13 hours ago

Not sure if it will help but sometimes charging overnight on a 5W charger can get it going if the battery is just really dead. Probably the easiest way to ensure you're getting 5W is a USB A to C cable connected to a PC or laptop. If you have an older wallwart with a USB A port it's probably 5W charging as well. Could be worth a shot before sending it back.

You got the extra minimal version at no additional cost, how lucky.

~~Has one of the worst repairability indexes ever. Get another phone.~~

Edit: my bad, that's the Nothing Phone.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

The Minimal Phone features a tactile QWERTY keyboard, expertly designed for efficient typing and ease of use; making it ideal for productivity and everyday Communication.

😅 Should we enlighten them about other layouts?

[–] techt@lemmy.world 13 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah! Where's my Dvorak mobile tactile keyboard?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 6 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

gboard and heliboard both have it. been using it for years. it's awful for glide typing since you're mostly just bouncing around the home row.

[–] rowinxavier@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I will say, as a Dvorak user, I think it would be awful for mobile. I don't know the mathematics for calculating it but Dvorak assumes four fingers per hand spread evenly across the keyboard.

I wonder what the most efficient layout would be for single digit letter pecking. I can imagine it would be different to both Dvorak and Qwerty, but what exactly it would be I don't know. Maybe separating most likely next letters by side and having some consistency of vowels on one side, consonants on the other, but all of the stuff about rolls and sequences would be completely changed. Maybe differently sized buttons for more common letters, or reducing the number of shown letters to have a few flick letters that you swipe in a direction to get them? Maybe just having the top ten most common letters displayed as single buttons and then the remaining 16 as four swipe keys?

Sangaline/DGHP and NALMY come to mind. The first tries to optimise for uniqueness of gestures and the second for distance travelled, both meant for hand gliding typing

[–] Kayel@aussie.zone 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The sangaline article was great! I really liked their approach.

As someone who uses Dvorak on my phone, I would be super keen for this alternative

[–] mapu@slrpnk.net 2 points 10 hours ago

AFAIK FlorisBoard will support gesture typing with it soon (they already support normal typing with it) and it's FOSS!

I gotta say, at first glance it looks terribly inefficient compared to glide typing on even regular QWERTY.
