Re: OTA-13 and Meizu MX4, a lot of bugs that make this phone unusable

 

Hi Wilfrid,

I'm with you, we need patience, but I'm not a person that talk without
doing nothing. I'm contributing with bug subscription, and also with
translation project. One year ago I bought an MX4 phone that costs 300
euros with the awareness that it's not easy to use and that no killer app
was present.

I'm using MX4 as main phone, every day, and I like this OS and the
community, but we need more accuracy before publishing a new release.

I hope in the next future MX4 can receive latest android driver and become
a convergence device with display sharing.
Right now this phone it's used under his potentiality.

I hope that one day Ubuntu Touch users increasing, and this people can help
the community to improve this system.

Cheers,
Marco
