  2. yes, you can lock it via adb/fastboot. reboot to bootloader. adb reboot bootloader then you can lock it via fastboot fastboot oem lock this one worked for my actual phone, if it throws an error try one of those fastboot oem relock fastboot flashing lock if no error occured you can reboot with fastboot reboot but be aware that unlocking the bootloader again will wipe you phone.

  3. I don't use Google Pay either due to privacy reasons, but your argument is still wrong. It doesn't matter what smartphones were created for, it's the question what they are used for. And if people are used to watching the latest dog pictures in some internet forum (cough cough), then their criticism would be absolutely valid, if they couldn't do that with the Pro1. NFC payments have been part of smartphones a while ago and for many people have become a selling point nowadays. Just because you don't use it, doesn't mean that an advertised function can be missing or not working. A

  5. I never was without physical keys and thanks to F(x)tec I can keep that tradition 😊 It started in 1998..... Philips Savvy (best SMS sound ever) -> Nokia 3210 (bumblebee ringtone ❤️ ....and it had T9) -> Nokia 5100 (black) (my first phone with color screen...but it looked like a skeleton) -> Sony Ericsson D750i (first phone with camera and (expensive!) internet which it loved to open) -> Sony Ericsson K770i (black) (same as D750i but fancier looking) -> Samsung SGH i200 (First "Smart"phone .... Windows Mobile 6.1) -> Nokia N95 8GB (Affordable Internet at las

  9. Please take this gently, as it's meant, but.......stop acting like you're starving to death because the food wagon hasn't been able to make it through the snowy mountain pass because a mule broke its leg and there was an avalanche, and your isolated 19th-century town in the mountains ran out of food weeks ago. This is a super-awesome device, but it's not like there aren't other things we can use in the meantime. I'm as excited as everyone else, but things happen. I'd rather they get it right than get it rushed. Delays happened, but it's in production, and it's looking like everyone who has ord

  14. Not EskeRahn, but I can tell Bluetooth works but seems to have some issues. Somebody else already reporter of issues pairing with some headset. Today I tried with a bluetooth receiver (Procaster BT-02) which receives bluetooth signal and sends it to my home stereo. Basic connection/pairin works but looks like aptX doesn't work.

  18. This is actually what happened to Fxtec, if there were Credit Card issues some of the preorderes (including me) were manually opted-in to do PayPal. Their account was blocked shortly after, they had to unfreeze the funds with PayPal, which I believe can be a nightmare. PayPal is very consumer-friendly, sure, but a PITA for sellers.

  20. My phones obviously lasts for a very long time, cause I am kind to them. Firstly I had Nokia 5110, then 3210 (behind my brother's business) for just a short time, then Ericsson R520m What a phone that was!!, But it was again second hand after my brothers business and had problems with Bluetooth, so I've bought my first brand new phone and immediately it was the best on the market: Nokia 6600. After a long time I tried Nokia E50, was fine, but sold it earlier to buy brand new E7, what died on USB connector, so Ive bought another one :) And now I am waiting for a Pro1 :) Just thinking that each

  28. I prefer them working on custom builds (or improving their compatibility) instead of trying to provide the quickest updates of a stock system. Most of us will flash a new rom anyways. But I've read somewhere that they are working on Android 10. Also, don't forget that the device was planned to be shipped in mid-september, before Android 10 was published.

  29. I'll take on anyone anytime. I still have a physical keyboard on my Droid 4, and will assuredly not be using anything else until my Pro1 arrives. I'm using it now....I've had lots of practice. :)

  30. OK, not to insult anyone, but how exactly is the ability to pay for your fuel and groceries related to a phone? This is a classic example of allowing one thing in your life to exert too much control over it. I really don't want to get into a huge ethical discussion about this, but certain people here are focusing on utterly non-smartphone features that are not at all innate to the use-case scenario for which a smartphone was built, and complaining that a smartphone can't do stuff which essentially has nothing to do with being a smartphone. Smartphones were made to communicate, not to transfer

  31. I don't think (however, I don't know "today" means which time zone, it is 19:44 here). So, I should be in the second batch as an IGG preorderer and still not received e-mail about it. Also, I think "Will send out fulfillment mails later" statement doesn't mean later in today but maybe later next week. Also they said most of the preorderers they wanted to be in second batch, so there is a high chance you may also. 🙂

  34. Phones were made for calling, but smartphones were made to be communicators in a more diverse modern world where other communications are quite common. It's still basically a communications-specific device. I would never use Google Pay because privacy, and Google, but even if I were, it's SOOOOO much more work to pull out a wallet and a credit card, or [horrors!] CASH!!! WAS this an advertised function? I didn't see it advertised. I may have simply overlooked it as it is completely irrelevant to me. At any rate Waxberry has confirmed that this is a short-term issue. EDIT: consensus i

  37. Nice review! On the vignetting thing. It seems to be limited to the Google app in your examples. So I guess that means the Qualcomm app are compensating by boosting the brightness of the corners? Just did a quick test here with "OpenCamera" versus Qualcomm's and I see the same. Edit: I confused the labels as below not above the images, DOH There is also what i assume is a 'calibration' issues in the Camera2 API. If you do HDR in OpenCamera the stitching gets the brightness levels wrong, leaving a dark 'halo' around a bright subject. It is hardly a bug in OpenCamera as the

  38. You are asking for exact info on stuff there are only estimates for... It is a bit like asking today how many cm snow Stockholm will get for Christmas... There are so many things involved that is out of their control, or unexpected. Take the US customers for the first batch, where something with the custom paperworks delayed stuff so they did not get them as quickly as the Asian and European customers (I'm not even sure if they got them by now). I mean even after I got the tracking info from UPS on the Parcel from UK to Denmark (and that is not a long travel), UPS after having g

  40. I designed the gamepad panel for fx pro1,currently only photo editing,because I don't have this phone. Maybe one day I got this phone and I will turn it into reality, just like on other phones,sk17i,BlackBerry keyone,priv,etc. fx pro1 has great potential to become a game phone.

  41. I use PayPal often, when it's available, because it's convenient. I'm not upset if it's not available though. I did hope that they'd accept PayPal for the payment, but frankly, the seller fees are pretty high, and all things considered, pulling out my card to copy the number only took another 30 seconds or so......hardly a difficulty. Again, F(x)tec is giving me what I've wished someone would for many years. Such tiny inconveniences are nothing in the grand scheme of things.

  42. I'd never paid attention to curved screens but know many people expressed their opinion against them when it was announced. Then when first photos/screenshots showed rounded corners on the display I wondered if that is a problem because of the curved screen, seems it is. Guess just another thing to have to get used to. On the plus side, I imagine 16:9 video won't show those rounded corners when fullscreen cuz our screen is 2:1.

  44. Sounds to me like Fxtec better sets up a bug tracker before too many devices are delivered, so stuff gets collected in an ordered manner.

  45. This kind of stylus is quite good anyway (even though of being a capacitive stylus), however, it is not as handy as it has to be placed separately and not somewhere in the housing of the phone.
