or....

Yeah it seems broken here also. I must have broken it yesterday, possibly with my audio prop change. I'll get that fixed and the fingerprint data fixed for Monday.

Alternatively, @silversolver can go this route:

Found the issue with the fingerprint reader. The hardware and Android keep separate lists of registered fingerprints. When you wipe data, Android list is cleared but the hardware list is not. Eventually the hardware has all 5 slots filled and won't accept any more. So the new data only exists in memory and fails to write to persistent storage. I'll investigate more to see how this is supposed to work, and I should have a fix soon. In the meantime you can delete the fingerprint files under /persist to fix it.

I am thinking of trying something like the following: to create the holder for the phone. Then I will use one of the real leather flip cases and glue the holder to it. :)

Hi! I had an issue with installing magisk and got help in the discord, wanted to mention it here since it might help others. 🙂 I use Debian 9 Stretch stable, meaning that most of the time the software I install from the repos are older than the ones found on Ubuntu. Hoping that I could follow the guide on page 2 I stumbled on an error when flashing the magisk_patched.img file. fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes sending 'boota' (22080 KB)... OKAY [ 0.538s] writing 'boota'... FAILED (remote: (boota_a) No such partit

Hi, Does anyone know of a key shortcut for the Apps drawer? (The one you get when you swipe downwards on the Home screen). Ideally I would hit a key and then start typing the name of the app to launch, without interacting with the touchscreen. Do I need to download a custom launcher to do this?

I suspect something with the built vendor image is different than the stock vendor image. @Gigadoc2 mentioned a few posts back that he had to wipe after the switch, and I guess we now have two people that have confirmed it. I'm sorry for that, wiping data is usually not necessary -- even in the test stage. It should not be necessary again.

I've noticed that if my keyboard stops responding, rather than rebooting, I just tap j and it starts working again. I have done so multiple times since getting my Pro¹ on Tuesday and just thought I'd chime in.

Here is a quick demo how you can access to app drawer with function + F(x)tec keys. PS. Ultimate rotation control app is able to force Pixl Drawer and Instagram to landscape.

Well, once you get the case the way you like it, you can use it as a mould for implementing it using hard plastic, e.g. using HDPE

Maybe I am misunderstanding. If you simply want to search your apps, hit the F(x) Tec Logo key from the home screen and start typing on the keyboard. I assume this works on stock launcher and isn't a Nova Prime thing, but apologies if I'm wrong.

Did you see the 2X ultra cover? :-)

Damn their sweet, loaving, hides. What are you gonna do? Wait... there's one thing...

No. She's mine. I wear a lot of black clothes so the hair doesn't show up as much. An orange cat just won't do.

I swear I did that a couple times. It took a bit of waiting, but I got on the phone with tier 2 tech support and when we did this again, it works now. Not sure if they did anything on their end but I need to thank Nick from tech support for the help. Thanks to all of you as well!

Yeah, the included protector is just something. I managed to apply it with just two micro bubbles outside of the working screen, took me like 30 minutes to apply it. I would suggest to wear rubber gloves if you are just about to apply yours, otherwise the fat from your fingers will ruin the edges where you are holding the protector while you are applying it.

I have a pretty bad track record applying screen protectors and went without screen protector on the Moto Z for about 2.5 years. Nothing especially bad ever happened to the device and I tend to not drop them either. But hey, that thing still looks good as new. So I'll be living on the edge with my Pro1 as well. The soft edge that is. My phones tend to sit in a sleeve when not use. Scratches from daily use seem to be a non-issue as is and I don't trust a flimsy protection film to stop a real drop from doing its thing. I'm aware that it's still a bit riskier. Not trying to convince anyon

Yes, I can see big difference between those two ports. Please, see the examples below. Viewfinder is upside down and freezing in low light situations in both ports but only PocoPhone port can make great pictures. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1KHziOXPurnz8K2_Y5G_HQ2bw-pWKI62B

I almost requested a refund, just a few weeks ago. I had been waiting almost 1 year (since Feb 2019). Two main considerations I had at that time: # 1 -- Is this a scam? # 2 -- If not, how long might it be? We are lucky to have a lot of data now, that #1 should not be a concern anymore. Yes they messed up a bunch, bad service, huge delays. But at least it's not a scam, in the sense like, they're not just taking your money and running off to an island. No way, it's pretty clear at this level of fulfillment, that's not the case. (PHEW!) But yeah it's still a struggle, and I und

I saw someone just tweeted they dropped theirs, landed on the screen. Chen tweeted back to send it in for warranty. So seems they're being quite flexible with warranty in general, as that's the kind of thing not usually covered under warranties in my experience... but I've had lots of experience with warranty following the device mfg date if you dont have original receipt or arent original owner, like western digital hard drives, compaq laptops (back in the day), my dustbuster... great companies often have a better policy than they're required to by law.

clacker? edit: realized that if the Pro¹ hinge mechanism ended up becoming known as the clacker, people might mix it up....

I bought a Pro1. Wasn't thrilled with it. Had some "me" issues. Sold it. Person who bought it had technical issues (USB not working and other things). They sent it in for a replacement. They were specifically told (and there is even a thread for it somewhere) that warranties go with the phone - not the person.

Nope, I won't send him a bill, he got the refund as requested. 🙂 It's working, so I'm fine. I'll also offer unbrick-services in my shop, probably free for users who bought from me and everyone else can get it reflashed for a little fee. Usually, it's not needed. If tdm finds the problem with the flasher and fixes that, everyone can do it himself 🙂 But in case someone isn't technically able to do that for some reason, I can help. Thanks goes to tdm for his awesome help and work 🙂

I worked with @EvilDragon today and we were able to revive the device. The xbl_a partition was corrupted. This should have been written with the factory tool, so I need to investigate why it did not get written properly.

I switched from my Huawei P30 Pro after trying and configuring it for 5 days. Before making the jump I had to tackle the following issues: Find a premium book case that fits: using Snakehive Huawei P20 Pro case. Make sure it's fairly stable: not a single crash to boot since I got it. Find a way around minimum screen brightness being way too bright in the dark: using Lower Brightness Pro. Sync PIM from my Exchange server: used Gmail app. Sync SMS/MMS/Phone logs from my previous phone: used SMS Backup & Restore Pro. Make sure both my SIM cards are wor

Using it as my daily driver. Works fine and whenever I have both hands free and going to type a long text, switching to landscape mode. Without 4G (I have an old contract here in Germany, which does not yet include 4G) the mobile networks keep switching and are really horrible. Manually switching is better, but cumbersome. Luckily I got another sim I am going to use for data. So this should be fixed. WhatsApp is horrible when using speakers (so are some other apps) - I hope there'll be a fix eith the crackling / doubled sounds. I assume it is because of speaker + microphone position,

got a new issue - I can't get the virtual keyboard to popup now. But at least it boots fine for me after wiping it as described in the manual 😉

I can confirm boot problem. @tdm @bmccrary Also test2 installed

I have read a couple of times that support was responding very slowly in the last week. It might be that the support sits in China as well and there lies the problem. The earlier message might got overread. Shouldn't happen but we all are humans after all. I guess that Erik will be able to help you there and I'm sure you will get your refund even now. In the worst case you would give it back or resell it for ~750€/$ (the current price) and still lose no money.

Easy... more paint... 😇

It will be much better at hunting during night if matte...😇

You could at least recommend a semi-gloss. How rude. Who wants a matte catte?

They don't add up to squat with free Amazon returns!

I haven't taken the test yet, but it really depends on what you type. If it's RDP+SSH and +bash-related stuff, there is much more to consider: visible screen area while you type. Like... typing sudo apt get and editing config is simply painful with on-screen keyboards. Typing regular text works alright via voice and especially gboard. Though I like typing on the pro1 keyboard, because it usually doesn't vanish of I touch the display somewhere by accident (and that happens rarely if I use my pointy fingers while the pro1 is e.g. on my bed). I am not as good with my thumbs. Gonna

Oh wow, yes, I see what you mean. The few pics I took with NightSight weren't good enough to do that kind of testing 🙂 Ok so the Pocophone port is definitely the better one.

FedEx called - duties & taxes are CAD70.14. delivery may happen on MON 2020-02-03 if all goes well for Montréal although scheduled delivery still shows 'pending'...

Nope, not yet. That will come soon.

test3 is up on my server. I haven't fixed FM radio or the fingerprint reboot issue yet, but I'm tossing this out because it's been way too long since any updates.

PS: Preferably remove and insert the tray with the display facing downwards 🙃

Please also note these interesting news

@OliverTypes I have quite the response, but I can't figure out how to get that hidden contents box in my response, so you are spared. 😁

Anyone reporting speeds over 100 wpm (phone or PC) gets a visit from this guy: I know there are people who type faster than that, but we aren't taking any chances.

I think it would require at the least one miracle for Clove to get it at Feb 17th.... The production of the next batch are very unlikely to start before the 10th, and it also has to be transported... So the chance of hem getting it before your order would be delivered is fairly minimal. IMHO

True, and just as good is we learned that the xbl_a partition wasn't actually being rewritten. Would have been so nice if devyl just stuck with it and worked with tdm. We could have learned this, but not at the expense of those selling them who didn't muck with it.

Thank you for sharing. Good to know you have worked it out and the device is working again.

I am using my as my daily driver, but there are definitely challenges, at least some of which I hope will get better over time: 1. curved screen leading to lots of spurious edge touches - this has turned into the biggest ongoing annoyance. I'm trying to learn different ways of holding the phone, but that also leads me to worries of dropping the phone as it is heavy and if I'm trying to avoid the edges I can't grip it as securely. 2. the fingerprint reader constantly misfiring as a handle the phone. Here's hoping for the "reader is off when the screen is off" feature request. 3.

For me, this one (simple case made for P20 Pro) seems to be very good. It is not as rubberized anyway, but it clips slightly in at the top side of the lower part - so it holds perfectly. Especially as I have a SIM adapter on the back and some rubber pads to not sit on SIM holder while it is laying on a table - that is why it seems to be uneven at its back. However, seller sent me two types of this case (I have received two of one type and two of the other). This type has one oval hole at back, the other has three separate ones - I like this much better as I need to cut less to be

I’ll admit that the first day I did not use the pro1 because I was too scared😂 but I’ve had it with me for two days now and really love this phone. My biggest hinder is not having a proper screen protector or case, other than that this phone will now be with me all the time

Wow! You can defeat average joe on an full size keyboard with that.
