You have ordered your phone preloaded with UbuntuTouch, which is not identical to the Ubuntu distribution for the PC. UbuntuTouch is based on Android in large parts. It does not use systemd as process 1, and probably won't anytime soon. The choice of (native) Apps is more limited in UbuntuTouch compared to Android. But as you describe your (quite basic) requirements, UbuntuTouch will probably provide everythig you need. If you insist on Devuan for philosophical reasons: it runs nicely in one of the various chroot/proot solutions for Android/LineageOS. I have it in a (rooted) Chroot o

Ah had not noticed that, thanks.

Well, I only asked because the Windows 10 logo is shown on the product info for OS that are coming......

As I said in another thread, I'm a bit more optimistic than this. I will be surprised if they hit March, but I don't expect anything on the scale of 6 months to a year unless there is another global shutdown. I do think 2021 is different from 2020. Of course, I have no particular facts to base this projection on,

To get is now maybe. I seriously doubt the Xs will start shipping for at least another 6 months. If you order it now you most certainly won't get it for another year I reckon. They have some serious backlog to go through. I'm not saying you should not order it. You should go, go, go order it. Just be ready for a long wait. Or get a used one now and bite the premium.

I do agree 😁 With no real usage, but still connected to both WiFi and mobile network, mine can last a week. So we are down to what is substantially eating power is the screen and cpu when in use. And we can hardly complain on that. I would claim that anyone on AICP that got a poor idle stamina on the Pro1, either need to weed out in the stuff they got running in the background, or should try to check if the device physically is placed where there is very poor reception of WiFi and/or mobile signal, so the device struggles to keep the connection.

I sent support an email explaining the situation with my USB port and asking if I could get a replacement sent to me. I'll report back if/when I hear from them.

The parts are also "scheduled" for March delivery (estimated). I'm guessing the spare parts are ordered at the same time as the parts for all the phones.

Thanks for sharing this. I believe a lot of us have poorer reception with the Pro1 than with other phones. (as well as weaker wifi) I wonder how many of us have this issue just due to poor connections inside between the gold connectors and the aluminum that you mentioned. Do you happen to have any photos of the connectors and aluminum pads? Do you have any before and after screenshots of the signal strength? Maybe even marking up these images with arrows pointing to the parts in question would help.

Thanks VaZso. I've seen the battery there (the Indiegogo page), but wanted to know if we've found a source of parts other than fxtec. For instance, we can get the screens through various chinese websites, and those are more reasonably priced than the fxtec screens, I believe. Regarding the Indiegogo page, has anyone received replacement parts that they ordered through there? I know the phones aren't ready yet, but I'm wondering if some of those other packages of parts have been sent out.

Battery and replacement screen are currently available at their their Indiegogo page, however, I don't know for how long. I also hope these parts will be available to purchase soon directly from them, especially the USB panel... and maybe the keyboard.

It has been a while since I've been on the forums. I looked around, but couldn't find anything indicating new information on sourcing parts, so I'm posting a new topic. Do we have a source for replacement batteries yet? Do we have a source for replacement USB ports yet? I don't *need* the battery now. I'm getting close to needing a USB port. It could be anything, but it seems like a problem with the connections on the tab in the port not making proper contact with the cable end. I can sometimes get it to work better if I flip the cable upside down or tilt the cable connector

By the way, I'm having quite impressive battery life on AICP. Although it wasn't too bad on LOS either, but nowadays I can easily have three days of battery life, with moderate use. Recently I set up a home server running Nextcloud+Pihole, and I have found Pro1+Termux an awesome combination for configuration and hacking via ssh. Due to this find, I have used my Pro1 two or three times more than I normally would. But even that increased screen-on-time hasn't decreased battery life too much.

Can someone provide me with the said apk? I'm stuck with partialy unresponsive screen. 😞

You should wait for the Maemo Leste.

I think you get the wrong idea, topic titles sometimes disappear when @EskeRahn merges threads that are just saying the same thing but I've never known any posts to be deleted for being critical or negative while watching this forum pretty closely...

Excellent, then I would normally have the same date.. I am very cautious because I also saw that they are moderating this post, so nothing too negative about the delivery dates remain online. Even this toppic text is deleted

I played Saints Row IV, Blur, Arkham City, GTA IV and Farcry Blood Dragon at 1080p mostly high settings and 30 to 60fps on a PC I made from flea market almost trash hardware, so I'm actually hyped to see full Win 10 on the Pro1 specs. This is the PC I am talking about above: https://builds.gg/builds/flekt-24990

Good day. There are still months for me to wait unti I receive the pro1x I have ordered. No problem - I can wait. I have ordered it with Ubuntu. A big step forward from Android for me. But Ubuntu is stained by systemd. I do not want to start any sort of war here. I only want to state that I will not feel comfortable as long as systemd is running on my telephone. Everyone can choose the best ways to render his or her life more difficult. In my day-to-day (I've been writing code for more than thirty years, and I use Linux for all my computer needs, both at home and at work, since 1993)

Trust me, the spam letters you will receive afterwards are a small price to pay for the stickers! P.S. Since anyone has a prawn on their pro1 soon, Fxtec should officially rebrand it!

I'm curious why I would pay more for a used pro 1 one than a brand new one? Indiegogo has the 8gb 256 gb storage for $759 I think I'll just bite that bullet. I wouldn't pay over $500 for a used one when I can get a brand new one for $699. Thanks anyways.

Not a good idea to post your email. Spiders will pass it on to people you'd rather not have trying to sell you stuff. Better to use PM.

Very happy they are useful :). All you who requested stickers: they've been mailed out and should arrive in approx a week :). More are still available to anyone who wants some.

Force landscape rotation can be funny at times. Though I've never seen that on stock, never tries instagram however. I also never tried Fx Service on anything other than stock.

PM me and we can talk about price and how to go about purchasing it. Thank you
