    People focus too much external hinge folding but ignore the pressure apply on the phone when close…which mit if the inner screen gone partial black out or entirely black out. Such pressure usually insert into back pocket and sit or the pouch on belt too tide…

    Why no 24/7 stream

    Some users have pointed out the loosening of the hinge.
    Is this device okay?
    Also, compared to previous videos, this one doesn’t seem to be completely open.

      it looks like the wire is stretched so it doesn’t fully open the phone, you can see it snap over the phone near the end of the cycle

    Man, this is the video series that all wanted but no one is watching…..

      Everyday for 4 or 5 hours to watch a phone just flip open/closed isn’t the best use of time… The day when it fails, there will be a short clip of that moment and everyone will watch it

    I remember asking a question about the motors a few days ago… They are stepper motors and it doesn’t look like a tension issue. Given the length of time it has been operating, there may be a chance it has some step loss which causes positional drift.
    That is why I was wondering if they had a ‘0 position’ or ‘home position’ for recalibration
