Onboarding was less than ideal
Shouldn't need a phone to setup first time
Lack of clarity if I can use multiple phones
Prime should offer alternative to writing to nfc cards
Doesn't explain what it means to backup to apple or google account - i don't have that
I use graphene
What is the third card for?
Had the same problem with the cards. Writing them worked better without the case, but still not without multiple attempts.
It also won't charge with my regular phone charger, but when I connected my powerbank to it charging worked.
Wait I thought you need all 3 cards?
I did the backup after the first initial setup (used seed words) and it won't let me continue/finish the backup process unless I used all 3 cards for the key backup
Yeah, had to take off the case too. No icon showing if charging or not.
Hhhm.
I created a new master key
It wrote to envoy
It wrote to one card but then I started over because the other two failed
So maybe it wrote to the other two next try?
it said i only needed 2 cards or 1 card plus envoy to recover so now I am just confused
it also said it was going to write to my apple or google account but I don't have that but prime never said anything about what my account would be but maybe that happens if you aren't on graphene? 🤔
I'm just waiting for it to die so that potentially i can try and turn it back on?
Very confusing first experience. When I tried to backup to the cards in the initial setup it also said two cards needed, but the manual backup later used three.
You can check your cards with verify cards in prime, maybe you'll get info if all three been used.
Have you disabled magic backups in Envoy? I didn't encounter that it will backup to google or apple account cause I disabled magic backups.
I would disabled have if I new I should have done that first. No clue was given in initial setup as an option
Ok it died and now came back on thank god
The cord that came doesn't seem to charge off a phone cube
It only charges off my computer power pack
There is an icon that shows charging
Not seeing where to disable magic in envoy
I got it turned on and only two cards work so the third is for the way you did it.
I am going to wipe it and start over.
I had no issues with setup. Cards were easy to use without the case on the device.
Backup with GrapheneOS is complicated right now. Sounds like that's being worked.
Planned for later this year
It's in the privacy tab where you also manage node connections iirc
That clarified why I had to use all 3 cards, cause I've disabled magic backups 👍
