I bought a BQ on the second flash sale and seen the progress, but the
few problems it holds which somebody must be able to take control of is
what everybody wants, IE facebook, google notifications, skype or some
kind of video / conference type interface, instagram and a owncloud or
some kind of document sync. The upgrades have been good but the last OTA
update seemed to have killed the experience for me and made my phone
just hard to use and just a bad experience messaging being unusable and
the phone just generally being slow. I can see the videos of people
running native ubuntu apps IE firefox, chrome.
I can only think that there must be some way of somebody managing this
and building some kind of container that you can install and run some
native apps and maybe take control of getting on to the big companies
like intagram and skype to get some kind of feedback to see if they will
make the packages or at least say yes or no then pursuing making a open
source version etc.
The last worrying part is, i bought a BQ ubuntu 4.5, ok a accident
happens and we dropped one cracking the screen, the screen isnt
available on ebay like most screens to replace yourself or by a local
phone company. After contacting BQ.. the replacement is 89 euro, then 20
euro for shipping with no gurantee. A new phone of the same version is
around 140 euro. 30 euro more.
so bad performance, lack of apps and easy cost effective replacements
makes me wonder what the hell im doing. Im a life long hardened linux
fan and loved the idea of the ubuntu phone but its not going the way i
hoped.
ill probably buy a new ubuntu phone to replace the broken one and stick
with the phone and struggle without notifications and the apps that i
would like and hope that somebody actually takes on these major flaws.......
No offense intended, its just blowing of steam I guess? - Thoughts
please...........
