Progress! After waaaaaaaay too long, I've finally fixed the wlan subsystem restart. Turns out the open source power HAL isn't working properly. The vendor power HAL works. So I'll use the vendor one for now and continue on with all the other stuff.

Hi Sorry for the issue regarding shipping. Our super hero Erik will on it shortly!

Really? I opended the box, took out the phone and was so amazed about the device that I forgot everything else……..

This is a problem with the keyboard driver which will be fixed in the next OTA update if all is right. It happens when you press a key down at the exact same time the driver is handling the key-up event from the next one. In Sailfish and mccrearies test builds this is already fixed if you need it in a hurry 🙂.

Okay it looks like Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, and Fingerprint work. Still need to test/fix cell radio, on-device audio, and NFC. Note the WiFi signal strength indicator is still broken. That's going to be toward the end of the to-do list.

SYM as modifier key is definitely possible. That's a great suggestion! Making the staggered pop-up will require we make a custom Input Method, something I'd love to but will pose a huge cost... So maybe when we get bigger. But making Sym key as a edible modifier sounds great and achievable.

Did it reboot often afterwards? @sdxWill it be possible to test the unit under 4G only (Wifi off) see if it reboots? I think it might be WiFi related. I am using an August production prototype for more than 4 months, and only happened to me 2-3 times so far. But each time it did 2-3 reboots in a short period of time, then everything back to normal. We are still investigating where the problems are so if you can let me know if WiFi is related that would be great. Meanwhile if the device still constantly reboots, we will get it replaced for you.

Check to see that the physical keyboard language is "default"-- the slant arrow (which serves as the yellow FN key) + L will get you "?" Same for slant arrow + P fpr "/". If you have any other language than "default" selected, it won't work.

Hey guys! I know the subject of this thread won't be relevant to everyone, but we have had a few comments from customers who have been struggling to open and shut their Pro1... I just wanted to clarify that the Pro1's slider mechanism wasn't designed to simply slide open... you do need to hold the phone at such an angle that you lift the top of the screen up whilst also pushing up from the bottom simultaneously. After you have got the knack, it becomes a lot more straight forward and you will be able to slide it open much more quickly and seamlessly. I have attached a video for those

It happens with pretty much every courier out there when a last minute address change is requested. There are dozens of people involved for just one shipment, it's hard to update them all about the change. Most couriers don't look on their devices for address changes, instead they look on the label if the shipment is too far from a sorting facility.

We've emailed you about 10 minutes ago on this actually. Please reply to the email. This one was caused due to a confusion with DPD from the last minute address change request.

....And here another slow motion opening both the Pro1 and a flip case in one go by the lift front method. YouCut_20200123_155044091.mp4

Haven't used an N900 since 2015 as a daily driver but I keep grabbing at the little switch on the right side (which isn't there but the N900 had) to unlock my pro1 when it's open. Damn muscle memory. 😄

For those of you wants to have word suggestions, try using Swift key instead of GBoard. It has most of the features, if not all, as a software keyboard. Because most users wants clean Android, we decided to only pre-load GBoard, and Google has dropped their support for hardware keyboard on GBoard unfortunately. So try Swift key and that will make a big difference. On the other side, we are aware of the issue with sometimes orientation does not turn, a quick fix will be enable/disable auto rotate in top drop down menu.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried turning on/off the phone at various positions between opened and closed and it did not make a difference. Perhaps it is the ribbon cable, but I'm not going to mess with trying to take it apart and test. I'll wait for support to get back with me.

Another more silent way is to pick it up holding the screen, pushing the bottom down with the middle finger. This can be combined with pushing at the fingerprint scanner unlocking it. (it is dampened by gravity, and stopped by the thumb) YouCut_20200129_120706253.mp4

Okay. Unselected English US and now I'm good. Thanks @Hook

The vast majority of devices were produced towards the end of this window, limited production while bugs are worked out is quite normal in a high tech product so an average of 6 phones a day is not exactly a fair description. What is fair is to say that they didn't have a manufactureable phone when they said "We are beginning the manufacturing in the next few weeks with estimated first shipping to pre-order customers during the 2nd week of September." in the request for payment email. They may have had a few mockups or pre designed-for-manufacture prototypes by then but nothing that was rea

If your partner sleeps you are doing it wrong 😁 Sorry, I'll take my coat now. 🥼

This is a very satisfying thread.

I tried to make some four times slo-motion videos a while ago. of two different ways to open by pushing They are far from perfect, but perhaps you can see what is going on better slowed down. First the classic push slightly down, where the back lifts as you push a bit downwards (that is what you see above in full speed) Note the important detail that my thumb is NOT continuously pushing in the same direction, but follow the screen edge down and then up.

Or put it face down while sleeping 😁

It was controllable early on, but they changed that, as the placement of the individual RGB had the effect that in some angles one were more or less blocked, giving a wrong resulting colour. So what is best/worst is hard to say. But as so many details, it COULD be an option people could choose. ADD: If is still controllable here, though the simple app that previously worked for me no longer does, the one linked in the above two posts does work.

If the 12 is not something locked by android but within your control, it would be SUPER elegant, if you rather than twelve had one for each of the letter&symbol-keys so we pressing the Sym had a staggered keyboard map pop up, and then pressing say the M got what ever symbol we put there. (Optimally with the HW-printed letter&symbols in faint small print, and the symbols in clear print in this helper display) If Sym was used as a modifier with the M, we could have the symbol directly without the helper screen popping up. And this system could be expanded to allow Sym+modifier

Thanks to the creator of FinQWERTY that adds its function. There were work carried out regarding the SYM key, that user can define 12 symbols and will bring up the selection box in text input when SYM is pressed. (Like attached) But then team is busy fixing all the bugs, and the development was postponed until the nasty bugs are squashed, which we are still working on. I will do best to continue the development of this feature!

The Nokia E7 had that on the long left side / the front towards you when opened. It was a neat little switch that was very easy to find and use but also hard to operate by mistake, much unlike a simple button. It also turned on the flashlight when you held it. Very satisfying. Hey fxtec, can we have a switch like that on the Pro2?

Ah! Opening in portrait, yes of course, I get it! (never do that any more due to the flip cases)

Or, you'd realize you are really an android. :-)

It sounds exactly like what I am doing here: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2681-how-to-openshut-the-pro1/?tab=comments#comment-42057

Ah, I see. This one is fairly easy to split. If you go for the black or blue, the debris left is much less noticeable than the 'yellow'. And it is ONLY noticeable when folded FULLY open.

I just tried it - it doesn't seem to let you turn off the LED when it's charging, just control the lights for different app notifications. Guess I'll have to go back to keeping the phone face-down when it's charging overnight...

My issues resolved by deselecting all tick boxes to enable "default" keyboard.

I can confirm this bug (QWERTZ unit). I was writing a message to a forum on Chrome and suddenly text field was full of empty rows. I believe that return key spammed new lines there. This has happened only once so far. EDIT: This was mentioned earlier also but I confirm the issue. Keyboard does not initialize correctly after you open the keyboard. Some keys are dead, like 7, U, J and N (QWERTZ) until you press another key. I can

In case anyone is missing autocorrect, automatic capitalization, or predictive text, I learned that SwiftKey gives you the option to add a row of that at the bottom of the screen. I have the best of both worlds now.

Is VLC set to use hardware acceleration? I think the default is set to automatic so it would probably be using that. Try turning that off. Not as a solution, but to find out the culprit. Though it still seems to be specific to your unit if it works for others.

I think he is describing the same movement you described in this picture:

I cut out a groove to about half width of the bottom right holder. From the bottom to about 7mm. Rubber stayed on.

You need to set the Screen > Advanced > Displayed size to small, then the quick settings area is rendered properly in landscape.

I spoke too soon though. Got my phone yesterday, then went and got my old n97 from the basement. They both have the same issue. A small gap. And i actually remember the extra noise noise the phone made each hard tap i made. Were can one get that felt tape? Any recommendations? (I live in sweden)

I have not seen that happen when connected to my laptop. I have had that happen with phones in the past and there are constant sounds of Windows recognizing the phone appearing and disappearing. I am using a 3rd party Type A to Type C cable, not the one it shipped with. Could it be your cable? If it is the port, you might want to talk to support about it. It could just be an issue with your particular port. I really hope it doesn't become a wide spread issue, because that is one of the huge benefits of USB-C vs micro USB. On the other hand, the USB-C port is supposed to be mo

Occasionally some of my random keys gets stuck (not physically). So it keeps typing same letter until I stop it with backspace. I am using default keyboard. Anyone else facing this issue? Can this be sorted through software update? PS: Really need a sticky "shift" key. Otherwise so difficult to type and hold 2 keys on this super wide keyboard even with my big hands!

Posting in here instead of the sticky because I think this is more of a design issue. Icons for Wi-Fi and mobile network show arrows for data transfer activity next to them but when there's no arrow to be shown icons to the left shift position. This gets quite annoying, as typical implementation of status icons on other phones have the arrows underneath the Wi-Fi/4G/3G icon or do away with them completely. I took a look inside the SystemUI APK and noticed there were icons with the up/down arrows beneath them but it seems that they aren't being used.

I have compeltly different method. I slightly pushing slider both to the bottom and front. to the front a bit weaker. Exacty like in N97.

For anyone interested in trying an Android 10 GSI, I highly recommend using my patched boot.img and vendor.img from this thread. The latest versions of both are regularly updated at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ey6g1N1ORYZ34oRXLYsF4zCCL6_KGRCi These patched images include several important fixes for improved Treble compatibility, including a refined key character map, better keyboard slide behavior, and a working keyboard backlight. The latest boot.img also includes the new keyboard driver from @netman and a fix for the swapped stereo channels on the built-in speakers. Please r

Yes as it makes things almost impossible to find, so the same questions are asked over and over, and someone usually have the heart to give the answers again cluttering the forum further. Sure the forum could be structured better, but spamming it does not help. And we already got this almost brand new thread derailed from the help @Elysia tried to provide for new users. And please do not take this personal, it is a general trend in here to post before seeking. And when people make posts or whole threads with multiple questions/issues, it even makes it impossible for us as modera

No fear, you are even still in the given delivery timeframe of 4-6 weeks. But to already prepare you, it is not likely you will receive your Pro¹ before end of February (hopefully during march) since the devices produced pre chinese new year have been sent out and new ones are only produced starting from this week. There have been delays even in the month since you ordered sadly. And prepare for (friendly) laughter from other members triggered by your attitude. You are literally complaining amongst folk that waited for the original moto-mod since Feb 2017. Personally i was lucky and at

Here is a video how I do it after 1 day of use. I just tilt the phone agaist me so that I can see the side of the phone. Then I push little bit downwards and rest of it is happening as if by itself.

WiFi is starting now but it's crashing the device. I've been trying to figure that out. Shouldn't be long.

China has shut down all the public transportation at the moment to slow/stop the spread the virus. China has also extent it's national holiday for the Chinese New Year. There are still quite a few days until the official holiday ends, we will see how things goes in the next few days and will react accordingly. Luckily I got myself back a few days before the mass spread of the virus and the lock down of the different areas. (Otherwise I will be locked into somewhere for 14 days lol)

I haven't contacted support yet. To be honest, Erik's response above kinda put me off. But I have had success with some felt pads. Putting one where @EskeRahn suggested didn't seem to help so I have one pad in each corner underneath the screen. This seems to have greatly reduced the problem down to an acceptable level - not perfect, but a couple more pads might do it. I used felt approx 1 mm thick and double sided tape. Hopefully this will last.
