perfect!
Thanks for the broad hint. But following the unspoken tmo-rule:
"One can measure the noobishness grade of a question by the font size of dirkvls answer", where is my 200px-size-link noob slap?

RF field sensitivity issue confirmed: 4G and keyboard on left-side of phone causes trouble (Missing keystrokes, infinite repeated keystrokes, disconnected-connected loop)

Use Wifi/3G or keyboard on right-side of phone as workaround.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

So that's what was causing that! I had all three symptoms, but I thought it was dodgy pins on my keyboard part, or the fact that my Jolla bows up slightly because the phone part of TOHKBD is such a tight fit (so there's a slight gap between the phone and keyboard parts).

Thanks for just coming out and saying you know there's an issue, you'd never get that kind of honesty from one of the megacorps!

Not weird... This is hardware issue. Please contact Dirk via email...

Brushed Black Steel
 

Hi there Dirkvl,

my tohkbd order number is 643, I ordered and paid via funkyotherhalf.com in febuary. that's been 6 month now. I waited patiently, I really did. But right now, when I checked why everyone is getting theirs and mine won't come I found the list and there it is very lonely with half a dozen other otherhalfs, marked "ran out of brushed black steel ".
So the question is: will you be getting that brushed black steel soon? because if that's a big holdup, I would just choose some other backplate that you have available. Would've been very willing to change even sooner if you'd just have sent out a mail to us five metal fans. But now it's too late anyway. Won't have a keyboard on my jolla for the chaos communications camp in a few days. :(

cheers,
mchack

P.S. Still I can see you've been buried in work, so I guess I was just misfortunate. Thanks for all the effort you put in.

Jollas (some? all?) have a quirk with the compass it seems - it often isn't calibrated when you open the app.

I found laying it flat, then rotating it 720 degrees or so around the vertical, fixes it.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

That is called "compass calibration" and pretty much all hall-effect / inertial compasses need it.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Yep, but there are multiple ways to do it [edit: and some devices need it more frequently than others]. I've often heard waving the device around in a kind of 'figure of 8' pattern does it, and it has seemed to help on a few Android devices, but doesn't appear to do anything to the Jolla.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

I have the same issue as someone before, but I lost the message. The issue is that Ctrl seems to get stuck sometimes, which is reaaaallly annoying.

Is that a hardware or software issue? :confused:

Thanks!

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 

Has anyone tried the tohkbd in android console emulators ?

I tried several and all of them have the problem that you can't hold a key especially the up/down/left/right keys. so games are unplayable. for example in jumpnruns you can't run. is there any workaround for that problem? i use sailfish os 1.1.7.25 and tohkbd software 0.41.

last but not least:
Thank you Dirk Kimmo and Andrew for this great piece of Hardware which makes my Jolla complete ! :) I tried it for a month now use it daily for messaging and really get used to it. Only things missing are qwertz layout support in sailfishos and gaming capabilities if the problem mentioned above is fixed.
