its good app .. just a question .. how do i turn off vibration. every time i have mic on or use backspace phone vibrates. i have my vibrations turned off for all the profiles.
All the bugs are finally fixed. Very accurate! Thanks Mr Patrizio Bruno for listening to all the input and fixing it.
Not so great, the latest update nearly bricked my phone. Use at you own risk
Today has been released a new upgrade that fixes every known bug. We're sorry for the inconvenience
A solid start, never give up! I think this is going to be one of the stand-out apps longer-term.
It drains Battery. I did the "wiggle trick" and "Install/uninstall web link", none works. Those tricks works all the time with other apps to avoid battery drainage but somehow the tricks won't work with this app. It managed to keep draining the battery.
Avg. idle from 7mA goes up to 36mA and up up up (with Battery Usage app).
Phone use Nokia N9, MeeGo 1.1 but this doesn't matter since other app can be fixed with the "wiggle trick".
It's also slow, inaccurate and no voice command. Can't use bluetooth (Nokia J / BH-806). Far far away from Windows Mango's voice control that comes pre-installed. Not even close to Android's (Google).
The problem has been totally removed in the upcomping release. ATM it's under QA review by ovi store, in the next few days you'll find it online
Profiling the application I've found a higher CPU usage with plugin installed, but nothing causing a +29mA drainage. Btw, I'm working on the problem, it should be fixed with next release. About bluetooth, it's an harmattan bug, already fixed in the upcoming pr 1.2 release
it drains the battery
The problem has been totally removed in the upcomping release. ATM it's under QA review by ovi store, in the next few days you'll find it online
Which release of harmattan do you have on your phone? And on which hardware (N9, N950)?
