@bstrand?ÿ I have never used workspace.?ÿ Can you still log into Gmail without adding the device to the "domain", or is it all or nothing??ÿ?ÿ
There is a workaround.?ÿ You can have two different logins, but the files in the non-workspace login are supposedly not available under the workspace enabled login.?ÿ You can always use Trimble's Sync Manager to send the files back and forth to the office.?ÿ The only caveat to that is that you have to keep the software maintenance up to date.
Oh, I don't have a TSC5 yet so I haven't been able to experiment with how they work together.?ÿ Google workspace is just an email admin service from what I can tell.?ÿ There is a separate animal called google domains that can host any domains you own (I own the .net and .com of my business name) and allows you to manage them.?ÿ So basically google domains is hosting my domains and google workspace lets me to use them to create email addresses for myself or any of my employees.
If I open the gmail app I can click a button to toggle between any of my google email addresses.?ÿ I don't remember having to link any device to a domain.?ÿ I simply log into gmail with the appropriate username and password on any device and it works as intended.
Maybe there are some file sharing features in google workspace that I am not aware of and that is what's buggy?
Sometimes, sometimes not.?ÿ I don't get caught up in that stuff - mostly try to avoid roots and rocks, and the feet go where they fit.?ÿ
But I straddle legs sometimes too.?ÿ I'm a damn rebel
@ncsudirtman it is much lighter than the TSC7 and slightly lighter than the TSC3.
We just purchased one last week and are now purchasing five more company wide. Lighter than the TSC3 even with the larger bracket and the Android OS is much better than the Windows 10 on the TSC7. Thought about trading the TSC7 in the we purchased less the 6 months ago but ouch the trade-in value was horrible!
@rover83 screen isn??t big enough to show video and data entry on the small TSC5 screen, which is about the size of many smartphones.
if you set up with Google's system, you are restricted from side loading apps
Is this specific to Google workspace? Since Blackberries, I have only had android, and I sideload things all the time.
@fairleywell Does it use TIM (or similar) for Access updates? Is that an app that is onboard?
@lee-d Yes, it does use TIM for installing/updating Access.?ÿ TIM is not in the play store though.?ÿ You have to download it from Trimble's Access website. <Trimble Installation Manager>?ÿ Now there are three choices for download: TIM for Windows Online and Offline and TIM for Android.
I finally got my hands on a TSC5 yesterday. It's incredibly light, and once you're in Access there were no apparent differences that I could see from the Windows 10 version. It's basically an Android phone running Access with a keyboard attached to it; I'm not really an Android guy so the O/S would take a minute to get used to. But if the size and weight of the TSC7 aren't your cup of tea then it's an excellent alternative. Someone above mentioned the pole clamp; it's the same clamp the TSC7 uses but with a different (but very similar) bracket. The only problem some people may have with it is that there's only the one USB-C port, but getting an adapter shouldn't be an issue.
