yes. if you run a lot of cpu-heavy apps, your phone gets hot and it changes colour!

hehe.
I find I don't need to tax it so much to get it change colour (Maybe due to change in climate in UK?) Just charging or GPS usage. Or just placing fingers on it for a few seconds so you can look at it and admire it some more.. :) Then just happen to leave it face down so others happen to notice... =)

Re: Funky OtherHalf
 
Received my "Banana!" yesterday and just love it! I have to say it's the very first time in my life I hold something in my hands that comes from a 3D printer. So there's nothing I can compare it to in terms of quality or such. But I like the overall feeling of it. It feels more natural in your hands than the ones from Jolla, the slight roughness of the material is comparable to wood in a way.

Sexiest features:
  • The color is just awesome. If this isn't yellow, nothing else is. :)
  • Pefect fit. I hadn't expected a 3rd party "Other Half" to be so perfect in terms of size.
  • Semi-transparent back lets me see some of the electronics beneath.
  • The name Banana.

I'm happppyyyyy! Thanks, Dirk!

Received my banana yellow TOH last week. Fits like a glove, thanks dirkvl! :)

For some reason when I'm charging My Jolla with Nokia's DT-900, jolla keeps doing "charging on, charging off" for a while and then it stops... weird but it works :).
Question: Is there mechanism to prevent Jolla from overloading? As I recall few months ago there wasn't.

Thanks again!

All Li-Ion batteries have a built-in mechanism against overloading. This is essential, or they would explode.

Never had this issue with my el cheapo chinese charger. But I recall the nokia Qi chargers have some extra electronics in there?

No reports of exploding Jolla's - so far.

You might just be right. You have some charger that you recommend from ebay? :)

I have the cheapest available there.

1. open ebay.com
2. type in 'qi charger'
(optional: click 'buy it now')
(optional: select 'price + shipping, lowest first')
3. click on top of list, or any other
