  • He probably just realised his TV now knows about all the feral porn he's been watching and is in damage control.

  • Ulefone Armor 27T Pro - And why I'm not using after 3 months

    Jump

  • It is actually really cool. I thought I was being a bit extra getting a phone with a thermal camera and endoscope, but it's been immensely helpful in restoring an old motorbike, finding heat leaks in my house, and putting together a custom passive heatsink for my raspberry pi.

    It also supports reverse charging, so being able to use my phone to charge my wireless earbuds, headphones, and even someone else's phone has been super helpful when travelling and hiking, because I don't need to bring a spare battery bank.

    It's infrared blaster also allows me to control my TV, air conditioner, and other people's RC devices (like the digital displays in shopping centres 🫢) from a single app.

    It's a real shame that it seems so insistent on cutting me off from my friends and family though. I have family that only use SMS, cousins that only use insta, friends in groups that only use WhatsApp, and other friends that only use signal, so to stay in touch with everyone I have to use all these.

    It's also not much good as a hiking companion if I can't reliably record my track when walking.

    Most phones, I wouldn't have even bothered to spend this much time to get it working the way I like it.

  • Yes, it's been factory reset a few times with no noticeable improvement unfortunately.

    While there are some system apps which are notoriously aggressive ( com.pri.screenoff.killer and com.mediatek.duraspeed) and well known, disabling or uninstalling these via ADB or UAD don't change these behaviours.

  • I have looked into this, using Lineage, /e/os, grapheneOS, etc, but I'm just not convinced that if it is even realistic, that it would preserve functionality of some of the more niche hardware, like thermal camera and such. I've found no account of someone flashing an alternate ROM to a ulrfone successfully.

    I'm still open to that if it comes along in the future, but I'm not soliciting tech support with my post here, just describing my experience with a product that, out of the box, has some major software flaws that the average consumer (the person to whom 'ROM' has no special meaning and might not even have the ability to hunt and kill apps using UAD or ADB) will experience if they decide to buy a Ulefone.

  • While that might fix functionality for messaging apps, I suspect it would severely degrade or make unusable some of the unique and uncommon hardware features that I bought the phone for, including hardware special keys, thermal imaging camera, night vision camera, expansion port for microscope and endoscope, IR blaster and remote control, and god knows what else.

    If I believed I could safely load an alternate ROM and keep this functionality, I would install One of the more mainstream ROMs like Lineage.

  • They purposely try to spread it around as much as they can to avoid unbalancing the economic and academic equilibrium of the states.

    They would save a lot of money by just building everything in one place, say, Texas or New Mexico, but the cost of running NASA, and the academic expertise required to do so would pull so much economic activity, companies, jobs, taxes, and all the knock on effects to that state that local businesses, residents, land values would all spin out of balance, and the states who missed out would have a noticeable dip in business and income tax revenue. They didn't need to build the Saturn 5 first stage in... Wherever, and then ship it all the way down to the Panama canal and back up to Port Canaveral, but they did it to share the load and the economic stimulus.
