I’m interested in how many people have a tablet computer that they use regularly. Only vote if you have a tablet, I’m not interested in phones at this time.
Like Phil, I have two Android tablets a 10" no-name Chinese and a 7" ASUS Memopad. The 10" never gets used, partly as it runs Android 2.something. The ASUS MemoPad on the other hand is my travel “PC” rather than taking a laptop, I take the ASUS tablet. This is also a tablet that has a propper headset socket not just a headphone socket (i.e. it can use an external microphone). I have used this tablet to send PSK from a SOTA summit using Wolphi’s hardware interface and Android software.
Hmm, I should have put a “none” option on the poll for completeness. But the interest is in the OS people are using rather that what they may use the device for.
The SOTA interest is in whether a menu fix for the database (doesn’t work with Android/iOS browsers) is worth implementing and if it’s different for those tablets, which one is going to affect more users.
The general interest is to help me decide what to replace my Nexus 7 2012 tablet with. The choices are another Android tab, ARM based Chromebook, x86 Chromebook, cheap Win10 tablet (Linx 1010B) or a hi-end Win 10 (Spectre x2 or Surface Pro4).
OK Andy. Database entry has never worked on either my two tablets or my Android Ultra 6 phone or my Moto G 1st gen phone. I would be thrilled if the majority vote was accepted and the set up was configured for Android devices!
By the way your SOTA cluster has been super reliable of late - one click of my mouse and the transceiver is on to the activators frequency, thank you for providing this.
Hi!
I using
-as activator: Android tablet or Android phone
-as chaser: 2 Android tablets (RSS-stream), laptop with Linux and Android phone…
For now I have to pause as an activator because he broke leg in October, but getting ready to loging on my phone with Android and Peter’s program (on my phone Linux also works nice).
The problem is Richard, many people know it doesn’t work with tablets and don’t even attempt to use them with the DB or they try a few times and realise it is tablet unfriendly and revert to a PC of some type. So the DB logs don’t contain enough tablet OS data to be useful.
