Wish for notifications

I only had a directions app wave, futo keyboard and quick sms app sideloaded but I realized I never had any of these on my light phone 3 and was not affected by it. I have also noticed that the typing experience on the stock keyboard seems to me much better than when I got the phone at launch. I am going to try this new set up. As for the not being able to separate call and text notifications, I realized if I am at the library I can just put the phone on vibrate, the vibrate will be loud enough for me to hear a call from my kids school if they need to reach me but when it vibrates for text notifications I won’t be able to notice it. I do hope however, that mudita is planning on changing this in an update because if this phone is suppose to decrease your use of smartphone it should have text notifications constantly bothering you if you are trying to focus on something and just don’t want to be bothered but want to be available for calls. Hopefully this feedback is passed along to the team

Can you maybe rename your thread so it reflects better what it has to say? I’d go with something about “wish for notifications” or “Notification vibration”.

I had side loads for three days and did a factory reset. It is best experience as is, agreed. Of course, I am an N of 1, maybe 2 now :slight_smile:

Yeah for me I don’t like the idea it is draining the battery lol, I remember when I first got the device you would look at the battery and it would have like 7 days of charge left , and I love that

When I received mine, it said something like “3 hours 50 minutes left”, which is not even close to the advertised 3-4 days or even 7 days. So I contacted support, and had to wait for several days to get a reply. Then I got some theoretical explanation as to why it could be like this, but after this they never replied again. I had asked them if the battery might be damaged, but they didn’t reply within the 14 days return timeframe, so I wasn’t able to send the phone back. Up to this day I’m always stuck between 5 hours and around 16 hours, but never exceeded a 20 hour limit.

P.S.: I just went through my emails and had to edit this post. The original leftover time was 3 hours 50 minutes only!

Whoa…that is crazy. Max usage, keeping it capped at 80% I get 3+ days. And you could not get it replaced under warranty?

I don’t know. They never got back to me on this issue, it was totally ignored.
No matter if I set the 80% limit or not, it doesn’t change anything. I charged it up to 100% once, then I had those 20 hours or something left. It discharges more slowly from 100% down to about 80%, but then it goes down rapidly. Right now I’m at 39% and again only 4 or 5 hours left.

I would ask @urszula - they have a 2 year warranty and a 20 hr battery seriously undermines the appeal. I would not keep it.

The explanation was that the battery is not yet calibrated and I have to charge it several times to get that done. Well, I’ve done that, yet nothing changed. And still no word on that issue.
I should also mention that when I signed up on this forum, I wasn’t able to post. After the first look, the “reply” buttons were suddenly gone, my account was “on hold” and I kept getting an error message saying “An error occurred: We’re sorry, but new users are temporarily limited to 0 replies in the same topic” and “Your account is on hold until a staff member reviewed your posts”, although I hadn’t even had the chance to post! So all this was very weird, and it took me several complaints to finally get a reaction. Then they said I need to change the password to make it work (!). When I logged in, it turned out I was suddenly able to post but WITHOUT changing my password. Not sure what kind of chaos is going on there. But it makes me seriously doubt that anything good would come of it if I sent the phone back. The problem would probably repeat itself. So much went wrong since I ordered this phone, and it can’t all be just “coincidences”.

@urszula What do you think about my situation ? Should/can I still send the Kompakt back ? Or is the battery ok ? When others get 7 days whereas I only get less than 1 day, something must be wrong, or not ?

All I can say is my experience has been flawless. Sorry to hear about all your troubles.

Hmmm, let me investigate this a bit. Remind me again what apps you have sideloaded, I’ll go right to the team with this.
