Hey guys question for those who have the qin phone (I have the EKO BIZ f30)

Was absentminded and fiddled around with my phone, and mistakenly pressed an option that came up when I pressed the "back" button for too long: said "adjust resolution"

Now my screen shrank and everything is tiny and doesn't fit making me ill!

Anyone know how to reverse this? I've tried pressing every button out there aint working

TIA

I have the same model and company. Press and hold back arrow button and then click adjust resolution.

Thanks for responding!

That was the first thing I tried doing, but even after pressing and holding for while I don't see an option of adjust resolution Sad

Was only an option when my screen was reg size

It only happens sometimes. Never figured it out.

I have the same issue.
during a call I make sure I press back to the home screen and then press end to turn off screen. it wont end your call.

Does the screen sort of shrink and there’s no option at the bottom? Mine does that and I pressed where adjust resolution would be lower right hand side and it fixed itself. I press twice to get regular size.
ETA just did it and it worked

I also have the phone and have some issues. I deleted waze to reinstall it, and there's nothing in the app store app. How can I reinstall it?
Also, when it connects to my cars Bluetooth, the ringing volume is earsplitting, but when someone picks up its too low to hear.
Anyone?

I have this exact issue. I stopped connecting to the car. I either put on speaker or connect to airpods.

Bumping this up.

Switching from a smart phone, which one is overall better? The camera, easy to type and use...

the qin's operating is way more familiar for a smarthphone user, it's very user friendly and the keyboard/swipe to text etc is just like gmail

Bumping this up, anyone have more experience with the Fig, did it get any better?
Any updated info between the two coming from a smart phone?

Not experience with the fig but I love my qin!

the place I bought from (in Israel) opened up the app store for me so I was able to put on any apps I wanted. That made the transition from smartphone really easy for me because anything that was really hard to be without, I just added (unless it was something I davka didn't want, like whatsapp or browser). So my experience is probably different than people who don't have it that way but BH I am very happy. They can close the app store for me if I bring it back I just never bothered.

The putting calls on phone/mute situation is pretty annoying but I'm going to try some of the suggestions here and see if that helps!

If the app store is open on your phone and you can add anything, I don't think that's called a kosher phone.

I have a Qin phone and find that the sound broadcasts. Anyone around me can hear the other party quite clearly. And I have overheard others' conversations as well. Lowering the volume only helps slightly. Additionally, the buttons are hard to press and I often have to press repeatedly to answer a call. This may be a Verizon issue, but my phone sporadically loses reception indoors.

I would love to hear more about the new Fig.

Now I see why rabbanim are assuring the qin phone. Was pretty upset that my kosher qin phone was being attacked, but if imas are asking about watsapp on their qin phones (that theyre probably getting because of school/cheder/kehillah/social pressure to have 'kosher' phone) then I got my answer loud and clear.

I don’t think opening the apps are an option here in America.
Once it is allowed the mosdos are won’t allow it.
That is also the reason some are giving a hard time because in Israel it’s a full phone….
The fig doesn’t have Uber but it has Waze…

There are different versions of the Qin. If you buy the F30 from Pure Talk it does not have any app store and is as kosher as it gets.

There are other versions that are a smart phone.
