Hello all, I got the internationall version of the F21 Pro, very happy with it. Here in France works just fine and I even have better recption that with my previous phone (Xperia E5 from 2016). Whith my unit once I powered it up the google Play store was crashing every time I interected with it (it did start up bat then crash if I attempted to do anything with it). I did a factory reset and it started to work fine. The whatsapp that comes preinstalled is a old version that needs to be updated, when starting the app it does attept to download and updat but failed every single time. What worked was to update it using google play as it was working properly. all apps that I have tried work just fine as they would in any other device. The TT9 keyboard works just fine and supports various languages at the sale time (Spanish and French in my case) that can be swapped with a long press of the * button (short press changes input mode from ABC to 123 to predictive). For the volume up&down issue, true there is no dedicated button on the side but the 0 and 8 do the same function with a long press 0 for less volume 8 for higher volume. A,nother nice thing is that you can programe a quick access on the other numbered keys wicj makes easy access to the most used apps without the need to navigate to the app icon, pretty neat. Overall very happy with it It has been just a week with it but for now at least I'm pretty happy.

Hey 👋🏼 im very grateful for you video because i bought a f22pro and i was struggling with the keyboard. I don’t understand the point in having one if i can’t use it. Quick question tho! I’ve installed the tt9 app but is there any app that i can actually type without this “predictive” method? It’s quite confusing for me as i would prefer press it whatever number of times i need for the character. If you understand what i mean! Edit: Nevermind!!! Found the solution 😊thank you so much! Pls continue with your awesome videos! ______ Just keep pressing # and you can change the typing method and numbers and capital letters. Nice!!!

The phone is so lightweight and it’s just enough to use whenever i need but also screen so small enough to get easily bored 😂 hopefully they will make one soon like old blackberry’s with a nicer keyboard.

3:50 Whenever I open a message, the on-screen keyboard instantly pops up, blocking the entire conversation. I've always preferred for the keyboard to appear only when I tap the reply field. Despite the F22's larger screen, it doesn't seem to have made a huge difference. Anyone else experience this? If anyone has a fix to prevent the keyboard from showing up immediately, I'd love to hear it!
