Do not engage. Just tell me to go back to Kiwi Farms where I waste days upon days crying about how I wasted years upon years on SA. Did you know I was personally responsible for SA's rise in popularity in the 00's? It's true! Just come to the Farms and find out how! It's the trash kingdom I deserve.

Well... have emailed them regarding activating camera from locked screen and received reply that it is not possible. Did not mentioned if they'll worked on it.

So... nice to know that I've backed a project that's totally useless to me.
And I was led to believe that the button is supposed to do that.

T'is what it said on the FAQ

Your devices screen does not have to be turned on before using Pressy. Pressy works when your phone is in standby mode.
Also, you can assign Pressy to work even when your device is locked. The Pressy app will have adjustable security settings for every action.

I received mine a couple of days ago. works flawlesly on my galaxy note 3. Only one problem, when this pressy is in the phone i can't call anybody because it's recognized as a headphone, i can't hear anything through the speakers. Even when i say it's pressy inside the headphone jack :-(. I will have to dive into that problem. Good job pressy team, i'm impressy.

What should I say. Nexus 5 CyanogenMod 4.4.4 pressy does not work. It already sucks to put it in.... almost everytime I pressed my pressy.... so I had to take it out and plug it in again... and again... and again. Then I tried to do the tutorial... skipped it.... and now. It does not work. It recognizes not one single "click"...nothing. Sent a feedback...no reply... that sucks!

Moto G. Doesn't work. Thinking of melting it down so I can turn it into something useful.

quote:

For those that have been having difficulty inserting the Pressy without accidentally pressing it, here's a technique I've been using that works pretty well. I hold it in my fingers just to get it started but only insert it about half way. Then I turn the phone over and push the edge of the Pressy against a hard surface, with the phone at an angle so only the metal is hitting and not flat so the button is hitting. Pushing down against the hard surface gets the Pressy fully seated in the headphone jack and the button never gets activated. Much easier than trying to use a fingernail.

I don't know what the complaints are about. The hardware is great at keeping dust out of the headphone port on my android. The software side leaves a lot to be desired as I'm not uninstalling google just so I can start this app and setup a shortcut. But great job on the hardware.

7 pounds per rollerskate?

to accelerate you gotta lean forward. which is how the segway works too, but with the segway you have the pedestal to hold yourself up with. this has gotta be hella uncomfortable

the segway also had a gyroscope that would keep you from just falling forward, here you lean too far and i guess your foot hits the ground and causes you to stumble forward?

also, lol at the video description with the guy who then stops and walks up the stairs looking like a jackass



"to speed up, lean forward. to slow down, lean back...but not that far back!!" So now my only options for emergency stopping are:

1. lean back slowly and come to a slow halt - may end up crashing into whatever is in front of me
2. put weight onto the balls of my feet to take the wheels off the ground, but also abruptly leave me running at potentially 12 mph...like jumping onto a treadmill from a standstill
3. doing what i did with rollerblades when i was 8 and just roll into the closest grassy area
