Monsoon, nice!

A nvme - usb box, works perfect, good construction.

3 euros to add 100 GB (national use) on top of my normal 200 GB, knowing well I'll probably never make use of it = 3 euros\month right in their pocket for nothing (hoping like 10 millions of their customers would accept the offer = 30 millions euros\month without needing to give anything in return :0). For the international, very low margins when incomes divided between the countries the sim is used in, thus no special offers in that dept.

Time to leave this troubled planet for a while... Dreamstate Logic - Era³

'Vocals' are a problem, but love the drummers (and guitarists) and arrangements in many of these melodic black metal bands. INSOMNIUM - Heart Like a Grave

https://www.androidpolice.com/nothing-phone-1-kernel-source/ C. Pei aims to create an active community around his brand, like he did with oneplus. Now needs to fix production defects and get OS bugs ironed out. https://www.reddit.com/r/NOTHING/new/ Personally, am always using very solid wallet covers, so that phone won't be for me whatever of interest the rear 'glyph' lights could do. I do like the iphonesque design.

Samsung Note 10 Lite, a trusted companion for 2 years. Nothing about it is amazing super, but everything is good+++. 3 good cams, headphone jack, good display (& flat!), good battery, monthly updates (will get A13), microSD, and the pen sees lot of use. Still love it as much as in the first days. https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note10_lite-review-2063.php

Their pre-release campaign & design leaks worked very well, created lots of buzz on all social nets and tech sites, the name suddenly popped up 'everywhere'. Then when it arrived looks like it's not deemed just an interesting gadget, the reviews are seemingly all positive, holding it's ground vs many of the best of the midrange class. Example https://www.gsmarena.com/nothing_phone_1-review-2453.php Am positively intrigued, something new & fresh among the otherwise stagnated design of all other brands.

Some fun testing SharpKeys, it works! Now got PgUp & PgDn working 👍. And made caps lock open calculator. Once getting to know the app, seems there is much useful to be done. Thanks for the tip.

No more china batt testing. Will keep the original Dell battery until really unuseable, it has lost capacity but never fails in ridiculous ways like the x-brand batteries tested. Ordered an original Dell 56wh, to be fitted when needed, + the cable needed for connecting a sata 2.5 in addition to the nvme. Staying with the smaller size batt saves the space for the sata disk, a 2TB hdd will be fitted for backups and storage etc while the 1TB Samsung nvme will take care of daily routines.

^^^ or could simply be (some, many of) these batteries (or the elctronics\sensors) are bad quality :O) Latest entertainment after posting my above post, refused to restart from sleep, like no \ flat battery, although around 50% charge. Again, plug in the power cord and it started, and battery re-worked. Old 56 wh (now 35 wh) Dell batt back in place. Amazon gets another return. Thanks for the audience at this topic, hoping it's been useful for those in need of batteries... 😄

Acid Dad - Living With A Creature

Thanks, will try SharpKeys. No external keyboard.

Anyone knows of some way to get those navigation buttons to work without the damn Fn, whatever way to control their behaviour. Or am I missing some obvious setting somewhere. One hand navigation here (in browsers) is space \ shift space, passable, but would have been so much better to simply get those keys to do what is printed on them, with one finger, and rather do line scrolling with Fn+pgup\pgdn

So, a few days of heavy use of the GDORUN 97Wh, good capcaity, no heat, charging well, but..... 2 instances so far where the laptop failed to boot with a (fully charged) battery. 1st time booted after a short connection of the power supply, then battery behaved normal. 2nd time, charging led in front of laptop blinking orange, no boot, had to open bottom, unplug and replug the battery, then ok. Basically. looks like (some, many?) 1\2 price batteries comes with 1\2 reliability in one way or another. Am always fond of some tests and experiments, will give the GDORUN a few days more, will maybe settle. But soon no more maybe's, it's a return then get hold of an original Dell, and hopefully close the case (...laptop bottom) for good.

Yep, started with 50, had to be careful, 100 quite relaxing, 200 feels like unlimited. Been doing well with this setup as sole internet connection, fine for my particular use > no gaming, no large up\downloads. & roaming works perfect in all needed countries. Was offered 100 GB +\month for 3 euros, declined as not needed, would have subscribed if the international quota got upped too, but not the case.

Fitted nicely, charging well, good initial numbers.

Hi, 200 GB (5G), 50 GB can be used in Europe\USA\China. 33 euros. The international quota is important. Other providers\deals available, choice is down to who got the best (= least bad) coverage in the region. Ample for my work use + lots of music and quite some Netflix etc.

Ok, ordered another brand, GDORUN, 97Wh 6GTPY, made by "Shenzhenshi Tengfeichunkeshangwu youxiangongsi", with such a name it can only imply eternal electrical bliss & prosperity :O)

In this region (holiday home countryside south France) ADSL low speed to start with, unreliable > telephone masts falling down, old connection boxes infested by mice and insects, wires cut by branches (snow, wind) + company immensely slow to repair anything. Fixed telephone lines basically abandonned in the countryside. Instead concentrating on implementing 4G\5G & fibre to every corner of the country. Going for 100% wireless, seeing price of GB's going way down, while capacity \ reliability \ speed going way up.
