Some pages ago during December I requested a refund for preorder, and decided to wait till FxTec could actually deliver. Everything has been processed in a friendly and timely manner :-). What I can also tell is that I bought a Pro1 from a friend who had a preorder with IGG. He received the phone last week and found it to large as his daily driver. So since yesterday evening I am now the owner of a Pro1! I can tell you all it is worth the wait. Yes the phone has pro's and cons which I will describe later in the "Independent reviews" topic. For all who are curious, S/N is 000211.

Today i got the headphones accompanying my very early delivery from November. I am very satisfied with the build quality. The cables are soft but sturdy enough to not knot easily. There is no plastic smell, all components feel worthy. Compared to quiet neutral Sennheiser, the the mids and bass are nicely emphasized. No distortion in the heights even at unbearable 100%. They sit very comfy and yet tight. My expectations are met, Thank you at F(x)tec.

As a former computer security professional, I want to emphasize that everything tdm has said is correct. But any serious discussion about security needs to be very concrete about the threat model, or it becomes very difficult to determine what the effects of any change might be. Google has produced a detailed white paper describing the security model of Android, and it lists 15 different threats in section 2.3. Only the first two critically depend upon secure boot, i.e. the cases where, "Adversaries can get physical access to Android devices," and the primary attack vector involves modifying t

Hi everyone, Exciting update today. Liangchen is visiting the factory in China at the minute and he expects all of the pre-orders will be produced by the 18th of January, so in less than 5 days now. We have already produced a very significant number of pre-order devices, which are waiting for the full list to complete by the 18th. As you are all well aware by now, once the devices are all produced on the 18th, the stock will be rotated between our warehouses, so there will be, I'd say, 1 more week after complete production before you receive your tracking. Just so I don't overpromise

I'm no photo expert, but I think it might come out better if you open the window before taking the photo.

Remember only a director can approve so depends on there availability.

I didn't even realize they were only usb 2 😞 but since I mainly use network to transfer files, and don't even have usb 3.0 ports on my laptop it won't be much of an issue for me right now. But I wouldn't have bought these cables if I realized it. Since I got a three pack, I got three of each type adapter; I only own three usb-c devices (Moto Z²Force, Pro¹, and a hub I just bought) so put those in. Put two of the micro usb-adapters on the tablets my kids got for Christmas so they can charge with same cable and will decide where to put the other shortly. No apple devices for the lightnin

Oh my... That is obviously a statement coming from a boy. Who would match their shoes to their cases? Shoes should match purses. And I have more than 53 of those too (shows AND purses).

So I've spent the better part of a day trying to figure out what's wrong with voice calls. I can't see anything wrong. I've got reports from several people that voice calls work fine on Lineage. The one person that reported an issue on github says that it doesn't work on either stock or Lineage, so that's not a Lineage specific issue. My experience is that I can get SMS and data, but no voice calls, both on Lineage and on stock. I have to assume this has something to do with my carrier and the IMEI, because there really isn't anything else that I can see that would

A new feature request. Disable Fingerprint Sensor when Display Off This would mean you'd have to push power button before using fingerprint sensor. This could be a toggle in case some people prefer current implementation, but in my experience it gets triggered so often that it's rarely useful as is.

I always imagined him with a whip making sure they worked hard 😄

Hmmmm.... 1 hour drive to crossing, then half hour to 'HK Dispatch Center". Wikipedia says the crossing is open 24 hours, but dunno if they actually close for holiday or something. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lok_Ma_Chau_Control_Point If what Chen predicted comes true and they finish making them this week, they've got all next week to get them to HK and send to ppl... seems doable... and if they miss that, HK doesn't have quite as long as holiday as PRC, only a few days... so shipping by end of the month is possible (which is the last business day of the week commencing on the

First I have also thought they are the same link - these two links are very similar. 🙂

I would like to recommend two camera apps that I have used on many phones before. Just installed it on my Pro1 and everything works flawlessly, even capturing in RAW format works like a charm: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro // for photocamera usage https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.cinema.pro // for filming Both Camera FV-5 and Cinema FV-5 work and the photo quality seems very nice. RAW/JPG format is too large to add here, but i added a shot with resized JPG output, pixel size is 3000x4000px on th

And we know Chen is in China at the factory, and I would guess Adrian is representing them at CES... So that is likely to delay approvals.

I will order them with the phone just because they look cool 🙂

Yes they do. Was thinking about telling support I don't need them but now I'll will keep them. 🙂

Edge Null does draw over other apps. With a dead zone on the whole right and left. This does on one side mean that it is running constantly and also draining a bit of battery. The bigger problem for me is, that drawing over other apps is a potential security risk. To be clear I am not aware how android currently implements the draw over app function. But it at least was a thing that some apps were drawing over the whole screen record all your input and dispatch the input down to the underlying apps. So it was easy to get hold of passwords etc. After all the app has full network acce

Mine just arrived.. look good... similar to hooks pics but not touching flat surface at all... lots of adapters came with em, micro-usb and apple... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TT1CFNG

So just a quick update regarding Secure Boot. I had considered posting a new thread about this but I'm not sure it's warranted. So I'll just drop this here... I spoke with FxTec and they confirmed that they disabled Secure Boot intentionally. The rationale was that it makes the device more developer friendly, especially for non-Android OS's. I'm not sure I agree with this conclusion, but that is/was the decision. The one thing that disabling Secure Boot allows is building a custom abl (boot loader). I have yet to see anything that requires a custom abl. But it does leave the

Just an update. Today I received the in-ear´s. No I don't have test it 🙂 The cable is "black transparent". [Pre-Order | IGG | QWERTZ]

Just wanna give an update as fast as possible. I just received a confirmation email of my refund a few minutes ago. Sorry to make a scene guys

I would like that as an option too. But let the user choose. It is not an issue if the Pro1 is in a flip case, with the flip on the button side, but it is an issue if used without. For the unit in a plain shell type case (and I would guess the same with a flip to the other side) it only very rarely happens, so here it is a matter of taste if you would want the option On or Off..

It has an option to draw visual borders (shades) but you can turn visualization off.

Both thick products and milk. Also simply a matter of more compact waste, so you don't fill the bag as quickly, but we are getting terribly off topic here *LOL*

I never even thought about folding a mlik carton at all! Sure, I flatten things like that to make them take less space in the bin, but that's where the folding stops. Maybe cuz I mainly buy milk in 1 us gallon plastic jugs it never crossed my mind. (In US only 1/2 gallon and smaller available in cardboard.)

Running a ftp server on phone is easy cuz all PCs support it, you can add it as a favorite/bookmark to file manager in windows or linux or anything else, without installing anything on the PC end. I use this one, super easy to configure, even has an option to auto-connect when you're on home wifi, so basically whenever you're at home your phone is available in your PC file manager. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/be.ppareit.swiftp_free/ (fyi, fdroid version is same as full version from playstore, even tho it says free.)

True. But for some reason, I think the planets are more in alignment this time. I'm guessing they'll at least get out a good chunk of them this time. I could be wrong, of course. :-)

Usually that's the main reason for a director to go to the factory 😉 If everything going perfect, director stays home.

Maybe that would require a special outdoor licence. 😇😋

Can you set the border solid black, so you don't see the rounded corners?

The subject is really complex – Wikipedia has an overview at least for some countries. Laws differ between European nations just as they differ between US-American states. Some countries, some states are fine with one-party consent, others demand two-party consent. The question whether a company is allowed to "record all calls" (without the works council agreeing) is an even more complex matter, because it is affected by labour protection laws, too...

FTP over wifi is probably faster and more reliable than anything you get over that shoddy MTP over USB to be honest. If you had mass storage mode, that would be a different story of course.

Usually customer services here have an automatic warning message that they will record the conversation for the purpose of "quality assurance" and usually they also provide a reference number. There is no option to refuse it just to hung up the call. However, as far as I know, one should only record the call legally here if the other party has accepted the recording somehow...

I honestly don't know how many pairs of shoes I have, what I do know is that I need to buy a new shoe cabinet 😄

After using my magnetic adopter for quite sometimes, i am happy with it. its small and fits well and stay in. its quite fast is data transfer too. using it with case makes it completely inside the case so it doesnt sticks out

At least they do look good!

For me it's mostly solved simply by owning the phone a while. It's thicc enough that you can grab it without accidentally pressing the screen.

It's kinda sad how this video also shows right away how prone the display is to accidental touches on the edges. Hopefully we'll have some solution for that working with both orientations in the future.

Thanks for the link 😊 I installed FinQwerty v1.5.2 on the Jan 10th Android 10 GSI build and it seems to work.

Thanks for pointing out before the mass panic :). Corrected to January as it was meant.

It's either that, or using production devices, which we like to save for pre-orders at the minute. Right now that is the priority - we didn't want to affect the already small batch from 2 weeks ago by taking a bunch of devices to CES which will never be owned by a user.

Not a huge advantage, but night mode is a little bit better implemented in 10. Also it is the new and shiny one that may have some security patches android 9 does not.

I feel this way exactly. Well put 👍

Bluetooth keyboards are THIS:

Wonderful! And I assume you will it ready for us for Christmas morning? 😇🤣

I'll start writing one tonight 😄

Well, I ran out of time to edit the OP. I really wish the forum didn't have this restriction, never been on a forum with limited editing window before... But I thought of another bonus feature that would be really nice. Disable Quick Settings Menu in Notification List while Landscape or at least while keyboard open - Perhaps a toggle in slider settings. I don't need to see quicksettings. If I want quick settings I'll pull down quick settings with two fingers. In landscape, they take up 1/3 the screen with very little room left to read notifications.
