I made a leather pouch for the Pro1. I used cow leather, thickness about 2 mm. All the parts are glued with super glue gel adhesive which remains flexible. I made some holes to see the led and to get stereo sound! There is no flap for closing, just a gap that opens to let the device in and out. see pictures for the details. If you want to try something similar, make sure that the inner part is about 1 mm wider than the phone to ensure it’s easy to slide it out.

a few things ive noticed 1. audio has static/cracking noise in full screen games. this is through the speakers or through earphones. havent tested BT 2. if i open teamviewer and try remoting to my pc the phone will hard reset. after numerous tries ive been able to get it to work but its like 1 out of 5 times. it does seem to connect as i get the message on my pc about the connection so i believe it has to do with rendering the video? 3. playing videos with MX player will occasionally hard reset the phone as well. the audio does not stutter. this was using the software codec (cpu

Yes, that is the latest.

Hey all, they have been slow, but understandable, I have to say they have been great and informative in my experience. I know it is a lot to ask but patience while they are handling a ton of requests.

In these kinds of situations it may be worth sending the insurance company in question an e-mail and asking what they can do, I think.

For now I don't think there's a solution for think, however I want to tell: the concept described is called "sticky modifier keys" if I understood you correctly.

Smart launcher 5 works pretty well for me except that the switching between landscape and portrait takes annoyingly long. It does handle the different orientations well and navigation with the keyboard works too.

Starting off, I know FR still uses mostly the AZERTY keyboard but who knows if they like this? I'm a Portuguese person who found out about this phone only yesterday. I'm very interested in it and, because of that, I want to propose a keyboard that should work well for latin-based languages. To make this economically viable, I believe many destinations require the same keyboard. Here are the keyboard layouts I believe should be able to fit in, in a single fxtec keyboard layout.

I couldn't figure out what it had to with brightness. But indeed, if you meant try boosting brightness, the issue is resolved. That makes it a whole lot less annoying!

Perfect! Just what I wanted. @Slion the keyboard shortcuts are no longer working with Swiftkey enabled. Even if I long press any key only the Google search opens!

@rejujacob Use SwiftKey Keyboard.

Is there no way to enable auto capitalisation for a new line and also auto cap after a full stop/ period? With this non sticky "shift" key, typing is more cumbersome.

The virus outbreak is hitting China very hard. Everything is shut down for at least another week in the hope of stopping it from spreading. Somewhere between 10,000 and 100,000 are infected and it doesn't look like it's slowing down much. It's looking pretty grim... I wouldn't make any plans revolving around getting a new Pro1 within the next month or two.

Too bad. My GUESS would be some pocket lint sneaked in somehow. But if I were you I would contact support. https://www.fxtec.com/support/

As far as I know, second camera helps the focus system, so it may be faster then and not made to take photos using it.

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.

In N900, modifiers like shift were sticky and it was really usable. I miss that on Pro1 but I hope it will have that option soon. So if I wanted to use shift+letter, I could type the same way like with PC keyboard - but if a key was hard to reach, I could press shift, release it and just press the other key and it behaved like if I pressed the shift key. So this is an important feature for faster and more convenient writing on the keyboard...

...It'd be nice if we could get sticky modifier keys as an option, haven't used the keyboard enough yet to decide if I prefer the 'traditional' method of actually holding a key while using it, or the sw keyboard sticky key style. Giving people the option of either mode would mean they could just choose.

I will be sure to do so, and let you know if there are any other keys that make it work!

I was wondering if anyone else can confirm they see the following behaviour: The "Landscape orientation lock" setting, in Settings, Slider, seems to have an unexpected and undesirable side effect. At least, unexpected by and undesirable to me! That is, with that setting off, the virtual keyboard will always pop up when a text field is clicked, even if the physical keyboard is open. This happens whether the phone is in portrait or landscape. For extra info, I was experimenting with having "Lansdscape orientation lock" off, and found it useful, for example, for using physical keyb

Thanks @lzb and @ermghoti for adding to the list. I can report that the one I bought does fit perfectly for length and has room to spare for width and depth. This is with a thin TPU case on the bottom half of the phone too. The magnet in the flap is just the right strength too. The clip is strong and there is very little risk of it sliding off the belt. The rotation mechanism is easy to turn. https://www.turtlebackcase.com/galaxy-s8-nylon-vertical-holster-case-metal-belt-clip-fits-bulky-cases/

Hi, to start with, up to now I'm quite satisfied with the pro1. Even the camera under dark lite conditions performs quite well as opposed to some reports. No aggressive blur just some noise which looks much better than what one is used to from other brands. Three issues I still see is that all widget I add to the screen the 50% hight and are not resizable (get handles but always flip back to 50%) which is quit annoying with a filled calendar. The other is minor but when working on a remote terminal is that there is no ' symbol only back and forth ticks. I think this has to do wi

Both my 4G SIM cards are working fine after setting up APNs manually: France - Sosh/Orange Germany - 1&1/O2 Actually it seems that all that was needed was for me to select the APNs. They are defined automatically but not selected for some reason.

You can't use single key. You have to use a modifier that goes with.

I use an APTX HD receiver. No issues with sound on my end. It aso states APTX HD under Bluetooth/connection settings.

Thank you very much for the answer. I have a build number QX-1000_EEA_20200106110245. So is this the latest update?

The update is newer than September but the security level is not (yet). If you look at the long name you can see a date "...._20200106..."

There is a bug in the driver also, as Sym is (currently) handled as a letter-key, not a modifier-key. That is holding it sends repeated 'make' codes.

https://github.com/sds100/KeyMapper Indeed, I wanted to use the Symbol key for shortcuts but there is currently a bug in Key Mapper that's preventing it to work. https://github.com/sds100/KeyMapper/issues/290

Yes the Fxtec long press launch, known as keyboard shortcuts. Which Key Mapper are you using? So maybe you can't use Fn + L combo as it would then disable "?" and so on...

Interesting, you mean those long press launch from FxTec launcher. I would not know cause I'm using Key Mapper instead. Currently using that yellow arrow function modifier and a key to launch the apps. For instance: Fn + B : launch browser Fn + C : launch contact Fn + K : launch key mapper Fn + A : launch calendar/agenda

Bad SJW troll. No cookie. 🙂

I would vote for the option which means screen protectors are for cowards if it didn't include old fashion sexism. @EskeRahn Can we moderate that option to not imply half of the human population are cowards?

That's really interesting! If it happens again try all numbers on the number row (edit: maybe try first the letters in the row above the one with f and j) first and let me know! (this goes for anyone that experiences the bug)

How odd! But nice to know, and easy to remember too. J for when the keyboard is Jinxed. 😇 If anyone gets it on a qwertZ it will be interesting if it is the letter J or the same physical key (that is letter K on qwertZ)

Yes, me too. I've been considering of buying F(X)tec Pro1 but I really like to know if there's a scandic (or Finnish / Swedish) layout coming or not. If yes: then I'll wait for it, if no: then I most likely will order Pro1 with QWERTZ layout.

Combined with internal storage - not the 'portable storage' option.

Got the phone a couple of days earlier than expected. I'm on T-Mobile prepaid. I have confirmed that the phone is indeed using LTE (using the LTE Discovery app) despite the "4G" in the menu bar. I too encountered the visual voicemail problem @jcz95 had, which is weird because it worked fine on my Pixel 2 XL (and the Google phone app on both devices are identical - same version). I downloaded T-Mo's VVM app instead to compensate (I am a Google Voice user anyway, so it's not a huge loss, but it's a bit annoying) As far as wi-fi calling, I see an odd phenomenon where I can searc

@skrilax I've put a userdebug zip in the server. It's not linked, just replace user with userdebug to get it.

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

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.

Yes, this is what I'm most excited about. Being able to bore out the main swiss-cheese "lens" portion, to be left with only a "surround" of rubbery protection, helps open the device and reduces edge-of-touchscreen accidentals. In theory, anyway. It's lucky that the vol / pwr / etc. buttons are NOT on the top brick (screen), because cutting out the entire screen portion AND extra button holes might make it too weak to rely on. Top-brick: Cut main face, leave sides intact. Bottom-brick: Cut sides for ports, leave main face intact (or small adjustment for camera). Seems legit! I don't mean t

That's because secure boot is not enabled on the device and the device behaves like a prototype. Usually that means that PBL will accept XBL signed also by a dev-key (or not at all) and XBL and onward stages will check if secure boot is enabled and won't bother checking for valid signatures any further. This is the usual behaviour for many other phones when they don't have secure boot enabled (are prototypes). I actually wonder if secure boot is disabled also on baseband. If that's the case that might pave a way to get the device working with Verizon.

For once the delays are because of factors 100% outside of their control. Sure it sucks as always, but this time it's absolutely understandable. Previous times the delays were always because of things either they or their partners had some control over, or they could've anticipated.

Nah... the original plan was to blame Brexit.

...And on the value part. Before people think that is a huge profit, remember this is the value of pure raw hardware out of the factory. The margin up to the sales price has to cover all the common base cost like he development costs, financing plus all other F(x)tec costs. And then licensing, delivery, customs and taxes are on top. For a low volume product as the Pro1, these base expenses makes a huge impact on each device (On a millions selling device they would be spread out to a few dollars each) A guessing calculation: Let us guess they are selling 20K devices, this would mean

Hello, Initially Fx tec mentioned that, if the demands is high, there might be scandic keyboard phone by December 2019 after they fulfill all the preorders and normal availability of qwerty and qwertz layout phones. However, since the normal qwerty and qwertz preorders have not fulfill yet completely, I am afraid what is the future of scandic keyboard now. Are they still going to make scandic layout? I currently need a new phone therefore if they are going to make scandic model, I will buy a cheap 100 euros phone for few months and buy scandic pro1 later. This way I will

Does the last part mean that the users can swap the keyboard themselves? That is that we can all safely pre-order the US model, and then later swap the keyboard if/when a layout fitting our needs better will be produced later on? If so do you have an estimate for the price of an additional keyboard?

I would like to see an HDMI or other video-out optimization where the touchscreen could be used as a mouse and the keyboard be obviously used as a keyboard. on top of that, I would also like to see a similar functionality where the phone could be used as a Bluetooth keyboard/mouse for other devices whether it be a computer, tablet, or another Android phone. preferably that functionality would be in standard HID and it be not necessary to download another app or program into the other device. I like the idea of this phone being an ultimate control device and I believe this kind of functional
