After 2 weeks of using the Pure again every day, I switched back to Punkt MP02 yesterday, as much as it hurts me.
At first I thought the Pure was running fine again (oh how often I thought that…), the connection was lost from time to time, but it found the signal again relatively quickly (by removing the sticker). But then the well-known and still not fixed error happened again. After a change of location, i.e. from home to work, the Pure displayed the signal, but no calls or text messages came through. After a restart, the messages come in.
When this happened again in a situation when my wife wanted to reach me and she was very worried because she couldn’t reach me and I didn’t answer, I had enough.
At home, I immediately inserted the SIM card into the MP02.
As I said, everything runs reliably there and I don’t have to worry about reception. With the Pure, which actually relaxed me, lately I only looked at the signal strength and whether there was still reception, and that didn’t relax me at all. Quite the opposite. It’s such a shame. I love using the Pure for meditation in the morning, I love the way it feels in my hand, I love the ringtones, everything. But it’s just not reliable. Meanwhile, I don’t think this one bug I mentioned above will ever be fixed. On Github there is no feedback from the team anymore. Even on my submitted log files and bug reports, I received a short answer that everything is forwarded and then nothing more is heard. It seems to me that Mudita has somehow finished with the Pure and is concentrating on the successor model. Too bad for those who invested so much money, trust and patience in the Pure.
I don’t mind that the signal is not as strong as with other phones, but it must then be stable, or the aforementioned bug must be fixed. It can’t be that I drive from A to B, a signal is displayed, but simply no messages and calls come through until a restart. I’m pretty frustrated right now. I don’t hear anything more about buying spare parts here either. So why advertise a replaceable battery. Then it has no added value compared to other phones with a fixed battery.
So now I use the Mp02 without any problems (it’s also a great phone), but my heart belongs to the Mudita Pure.
