Another DOA phone that wouldn't charge here. I was relieved to find this forum and that I was not the first to have experienced the problem. And I am happy to confirm that the rubber band hack worked for me also... Phone was still unresponsive after six hours, but the following day (after a total of 18 hours) it sprang to life.

I suspect that actually your Pro1x has been revived by the rubber band method but your problem is with the display. There is one easy thing you can check. The back of the display can be easily opened (5 screws, no glue) and you can check the ribbon cable to see if it is properly connected and seated. Unfortunately, if that's not it, it is probably a defective display. I wasn't sure whether you said FxTec didn't answer your email or replied saying they couldn't help you (meanng they have no display replacements they could send you). If the former, you may have to wait a bit. They are4 points

I had noticed that the G-drive links in the official help documents posted by Casey were no longer working (access was denied). I reached out and this was not intentional and they will be fixed sometime this week or so. Just wanted to let folks know. Be patient and the links will work again.3 points

Thanks to a heads up from @TeZtdevice, some evidence that Android 15 might be coming (not necessarily soon, but being worked on, as long as they don't hit any show stoppers). https://review.lineageos.org/q/project:LineageOS/android_device_fxtec_pro1x+branch:lineage-22.03 points

How long did you leave on? It often needs to be overnight. And make sure it is on tight enough to keep the power button pressed. You may have done all that but wasn't clear with the details you provided.3 points

Maybe you know better. I have been assuming that if you are updating OTA rather than sideloading, flashing the newer Gapps isn't relevant since the Google Apps are updated by Google.2 points

As the saying goes: "The great thing about standards is there are so many to choose from" P.S. @EskeRahn Agree that a grounded 'sleeve' terminal at the base makes a lot of sense.2 points
-
Be aware that there - unfortunately, are TWO standards for the four-pinned 3.5mm with microphone, I do not know if the wrong type could cause this. The OMTP and the CTIA. Now most devices (including Pro1/Pro1X) uses CTIA, some years back most (e.g the real Nokia) used OMTP. OMTP is an a LOT more sensible standard BTW, having ground close to a plug housing that could be metal. The easiest way to know if a given headset is CTIA or OMTP (if doc does not tell), is to measure the resistance between the right and left at the tip. Typically something like 320-340 Ω, then measure for he t2 points

I was saying that even after you remove the screws, the screen will still cling to the base plate. Detaching it requires some prying tool to insert between the screen frame and the base plate.2 points

Got it, thank you for confirming, EskeRahn. I ordered two screens from AliExpress, and will install them and see whether that is acceptable. Thanks for confirming!2 points

The October build of LineageOS16.0 (for SD835 Pro1) is available. Head to https://findus.zwergenschaenke.net/~puma/linux.html#lineagepro1 and get the ROM dated 20241017. Changes since last month: Backported security fixes up to the October 2024 ASB. Update of the bundled System WebView and browser to Chromium 129.0.6668.70 (from LOS21). Have a lot of fun!2 points

@zikad Well it will keep working BUT there is an issue with the outer edges being non responsive to touch with the screens we can find on AliExpress. The only KNOWN method we got to fix this touch issue Is to mount on a Pro1 (not Pro1X) and re-flash that....2 points
-
While buying a miniature Phillips screw driver, make sure to also get some prying tool. Besides the screws, the display frame "clicks" onto the supporting base plate. Especially if it has never been removed before, fingernails are not enough to get it loose. You wont have to mess with the hinge mechanism by the way. However, be careful with the ribbon cable connecting the two halves of the phone: it is just long enough to allow you to reach the connector head. Once the display frame is unmounted (which is quite easy) you can check and re-seat the ribbon cables coming from the bottom ha2 points

Hi. This warning is very important and is regarding many phones in fact. Your provider has to populate your phone with IMS files on first try as i know. If you don't verify if VoWifi and VoLTE are working fine from stock, you could not get this working well after flashing a new rom. That's already happened to me ☹️ many times.2 points

No the screens have always been fairly inexpensive and this one is even available with the proper frame (I believe, I have one in the closet but haven't had the need to install it). And you are lucky, as you have the Pro 1. The new screen will have a non-responsive area around the edges. You'll need to reinstall stock Android 9 and that will fix it because one of the updates included that patch that is needed. Unfortunately, that means you will have to wipe everything. At least I think so. You had to with the Elephone U Pro screens, which are the same screen. We still no real solution fo2 points

Decided after some time to go back to using my Pro1 as a no-Google phone. So,factory reset and flashed Lineage-21-20241005-NIGHTLY-pro1-signed,zip with September 5th security patch and Magisk27.zip. All installed smoothly via ADB sideload. I tested root with TotalCommander and it was successful (I did have to let Magisk update via it's app after the sideload, but it took care of the boot image dance). Quick and easy.2 points

I'm totally with you. Until Fxtec's Pro1 came along, my limit was more like $500. Even if I like the Honor, I don't expect to pay that much for what effectively is just a phone any time soon. Let's hope it will last a few years. At least they promised Android upgrades for 4 years and security updates for 5 years...1 point

Note that the GNU/Devuan system is not part of the ROM as offered for download above. You'll have to set that up yourself. That being said, I still use that same Debian/Devuan setup I once described in this thread: It does not rely on Termux or any similar App-based solution. Rather, it runs in a native (rooted) chroot of LineageOS and starts in parallel to that upon boot. This is done via a Userinit script which you can download from that other post above for reference. All this relies on the native AddonSU root-management solution of LOS16, though you can certainly achieve the sam1 point

Actually I've mostly been using Gboard since I got the phone back. Neither Gboard nor Swiftkey has control keys as far as I can see, though. Thankfully, apps like Termux add their own control key functionality, but that obviously doesn't help with normal text input in e-mail or web browsers. Which is why I've started to try Hacker's keyboard again, but that has other limitations I'm not sure I want to put up with after having used Swiftkey and the current version of Gboard...1 point

@Pro1-X jim I split your issue with a not working display into its own thread here. We have other threads on that too, So I might find one and merge them.1 point

In a person's thinking, the answer addresses concern about compatibility. They seek reassurance that the phone will function normally after the screen replacement without needing a. reset.1 point

Just to add that this is something of a good sign, as this is how it behaves if I do it on a working Pro1X. But as it does not display a splash screen also in the loop, I agree with others that it is most likely a display issue.1 point

Hey mate, Thanks heaps for the reply and the suggestions. Firstly - I don't have any tools that small to remove the screen to check the display connection, so I'll need to track something down. Considering I was a backer for the Pro1-X, and 2+ years later have only just received the mobile, within the last cple of weeks, am a little concerned about removing a display which has a hinge connecting it to the main body. I will give it a go though, and check. Also appreciate the link for Ali-express, however am not paying anything extra for a brand new mobile. Respectfully, if t1 point

It took me a while, but I got LineageOS running on my Fxtec Pro1 X by following the guide here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pro1x/install/ However, I ran into issues when trying to run these fastboot commands: fastboot oem enable-charger-screen fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1 fastboot reboot Fastboot reported that no devices were found.

Building on @Hook's answer: I believe the Pro1-X still always comes with official (i.e. googlified) Android, no matter what OS you ordered. You have to flash a Google-free variant yourself. Take a minute to read about the procedures and options, following the various links on that entry point he posted. You will probably want to flash LineageOS 21. Choose between the official version without GApps or substitutes, or the derivative LineageOS-MicroG. I have always only used the former myself. For guidance, follow the very good instructions on the LineageOS wiki. Once booted, install F-Droid1 point

I'm not disagreeing with your main point. You are right. But for someone who doesn't like using their phone in portrait and abhors touch-screen keyboards, there are work-arounds that, if you don't mind a little more scrolling (I don't-- that's one of the trade-offs I'm willing to make) make it not so bad. Here is what Newpipe (I had to download it) looks like with my display settings on my Pro1x: And it gets better if I actually just search...
