@3arn0wl said in Recommended speaker I could plug in to my Meizu MX4?:

Any speaker plugged into your earphone socket should work... there are ones available which include an amplifier (for more volume) and those that don't... The ones with amplifiers are a bit heavier and bulkier...
I'm just wondering why the phone's speaker isn't working...?

I'm not 100% sure why it's stopped working, but the phone stopped giving audible notifications over about a 2 week period. I had replaced the battery about a couple of week earlier. One of my friends pointed out that the case wasn't on properly when he looked at it, and that it did look like there was a lot of pressure on some parts. I'm now guessing that I'd messed up putting the new battery in and I've physically damaged the phone.

Thanks for that. Ideally I'm looking for something small as I'm going to have it plugged in quite a lot. It doesn't need to be massively loud, as I can always plug it in to my normal speakers when I'm at home 🙂

Actually, it hasn't given me an audible notification at all today for various alarms I've set 😞

Me turns off the notification led by putting the phone face down on a book 😜

@altor said in installed OTA-5 now I can't search for contacts:

just a workaround : you could still tap the letter on the right to move quickly along your contacts.

Well, my contacts in Cyrillic, and on the right Latin (English) letters. That not helpful. 😉

I think, that is it critical bug! In my option - smartphone is primarily a phone, and then everything else!

Thanks!

@happyzenith It might not be the cables etc. How well does the cable fit into the phone itself? When I used mine daily it was always fun using Ubuntu to see if the phone connected : ) Once had ten different windows open telling me it couldn't open mx4.
It would only work on one USB port and at the right angle. Try wiggling the cable at the phone end the connection is tricky, that or use Linux mint ; ) that always seemed better.
Try it on dev if your still on RC just in-case that helps
Edit Trying to remember now but sure I had best results with a short phone charging cable rather than the longer ones.
Edit two. Last one honest. If you have UT Tweak Tool on your mx 4 you can check adb settings and that MTP is ok by choosing system from the menu and usb settings

@flohack said in The last word I typed is always added into the next box when I click on it:

We dont reopen this, since it was applied to the master branch and therefore will land only in 16.04 OTA-4.

Ah, now I get it. Sorry

Yep - and l've now got Telegram installed on my desktop too ... certainly might come in handy! 😃

Thanks ... my poor brain is fried!

I'll be sorting my phone out ASAP ... only realised when someone on https://ubuntuforums.org/ told me when I was trying to do something else. I bet they thought I was completely mad!

@happyzenith I use whatsapp under anbox. It works except for the sound, camera, attaching pictures.

@happyzenith Congratulations and welcome to the uBports ship!
