We have gotten a lot of questions about the sonim phone recently, so I felt it was time for it to get its own topic. Post anything you want about the XP3 here.

Hi I have a xp3, on the new waze, Uber, and stratigo, the cursor is seen, moves around the screen, but doesn't actually click on anything, rendering these 3 unusable 😥...also couldn't get the voice access working...the phone is a great overall phone, even has a built in sonim application that allows one to block internet, radio, or any application installed on the phone! No tag to slow your phone!

anonymousflipphone Just an FYI a TAGGED phone does not slow your phone down....

Oh I wouldn't know, I do have friends though who have reported problems after having their phones tagged....

Flip phones have tons of issues and so do smart phones. People like blaming TAGand although many times it can be it is their problem many times it’s not. Its just an easy go-to place to blame. Some people who’s phones were tagged from day one complain about it but really that’s just the phone they just never had it without it to know that it has issues

I'm pretty sure tag would-and has-admitted the filter could cause various problems.

anonymousflipphone A filter does not slow the phone down. Same as when you remove the phones browser via adb, do you see the phone slowing down because of that?

10452ec some of tags filters slow down the phone ive seen it 1st hand

ive compared brand new phones with tagged ones

Sonim XP3

shloimy

Is there anything for the sonim xp5

Techgen

shloimy I'm not sure, but I think the xp5 can have all apps like the xp3

anonymousflipphone

Wait techgen, you were able to get voice access working on the sonim xp3800 flip phone?? I ran into errors...

Techgen

anonymousflipphone Yes, you can use an official version, or the one from kosherappsforflip (kyocera) but the one from apps4flip needs to be signed before it can be used on the Sonim Xp3

shloimy

Techgen and how is that done

Techgen

shloimy First you have to enable usb debugging, every phone has a different way, on the xp3 you type *#*#2387#*#* on the xp5 it might be the same or press the build number 7 times to get to developer options and enable usb debugging. Then get the apk you want to install, and install it using adb (it can't be installed just by clicking on it on the phone)

appspro

Techgen u got the wrong code brother the code is ##2387## for the xp3

anonymousflipphone

thanks techgen for the info! would you be able to guide me in installing voice access from kosherappsforflip?
and do you think the other apps from kosherapps, kyocera version, would work on the sonim xp3?

Techgen

anonymousflipphone All apps from kosherappsforflip should work on the XP3 (and most from apps4flip) you install voice access the same as you would any other app, and when you open it it will tell you to enable it in accesability settings. then use the app settings to take the annoying blue button off the screen, and set your own key to activate it.

anonymousflipphone

when you say "you install voice access the same as you would any other app"-you mean apps4flip method of installing any other app? Or do you mean kosherappsforflip's method? If you mean apps4flip's method, (via adb method), then isnt there additional instructions given for that specific app? and if you mean kosherappsforflip's method, what is their method...? (sorry, im rather inexperienced with these things 🙂

Techgen

anonymousflipphone The apps4flip method is the regular way through adb, which will work, you don't need those extra commands for the xp3. or you can use kosherappsforflip's kyocera app installer for an easy way to install any of thier kyocera apps (Including voice access). or you can use their auto apk installer to install any apk you downloaded from either site. (that installer may crash after a few apps, just x out and try again). Hope this helps.
BTW if you want me (or any other user) to be notified when you respond, you need to put an @ symbol before the username. (clicking reply will automatically add it to the beginning)

ok so i used webadb to install voice access from kosherapps.
After installing, i wasnt able to click anything from the main screen unless i double tapped. Additionally, i wasnt able to figure out how use it altogether; it wouldnt respond to my commands...

Jumptoheaven

anonymousflipphone on the exalt, if you go to notifications there's an option for voice access settings. There's probably something like that by your phone too.
In it you can change settings like, cancel on touch, configure activation key, etc. That may help you out....

Techgen

anonymousflipphone Yes, I had that double click issue also, but i wasnt sure which one of my many apps caused it I guess now i know 😆. but i got used to it. I'm not sure where youre getting stuck, but [Login to see the link] is probably right, you need to go to settings>accessability>voice access>settings and configure activation key and other settings

chaimontherun

Techgen If any accessibility app is enabled in setting you will have the double tap issue. Cc [Login to see the link]

anonymousflipphone

[Login to see the link] I had the double tap issue with both VA and switchboard. Maybe the problem is with all apps from kosherappsforflip?
And what are functions that i can use with VA and switchboard? with switchboard, it became my default keyboard, i try typing and end up with lines on my screen....

mg5077

anonymousflipphone on which phone do you have switchboard ?

Techgen

anonymousflipphone I doubt it has to do with kosherappsforflip, more likely that theyre both accessability apps. i'm not sure exactly what your issue is, but after you give accessability permission it askes you to make switchboard the default program, don't switch it, leave it on flex t9 and close it

anonymousflipphone

[Login to see the link] and what is the Resetter part of switchboard; do i upload that to my phone via adb the same way as the apk?

Techgen

anonymousflipphone the resetter is a windows program that kosherappsforflip made to reset the selected button if your having issues. you dont put it on your phone, you run it on the computer while your phone is attached. Anyway i dont think its needed for the xp3 because you can always change the button in settings (unless you set the select button or something and really mess yourself up)

whatelseshouldido

I by mistake set the enter button to open an app when held down for 3 seconds and now it doesn't work to click regularly (it only works to hold for 3 sec and opens the weather app). Now can't do anything on the phone and the sonim care lock blocks reset option. Anyway to disable the button mapper app without having the enter button???!!!
or another way to get the button to work?

Techgen

whatelseshouldido You can use scrcpy or you can do adb uninstall from a computer (I think you can also still reset by holding power and volume down or up and resetting from that menu)
