the virus seems to have a better chance of reaching me than pro1 :(

Not sure if we've had much info on this officially but they at least Tweeted back on this... So if nothing else, then at least we know it's planned

This will take you to a poll which includes the fxtec pro1 as one of it's options. Let's make this happen.

@tdm I know you've got some ideas of what keycodes to assign the various modifier type keys, and recently I saw something about you doing some odd things with the slant-arrow keys that might restrict user customization, etc. I've chatted with mccreary a few times about my thoughts, and thus learned a lot of stuff, and wanted to share what I believe would be the ideal way to map keycodes in kernel that takes advantage of built-in AOSP features, and allows user to fully customize layout afterwards. Esc --> Esc Slant Arrows --> Meta (left & right - separate key codes ar

you can use camera on another phone for find sensor 🙂

I just found out about this phone, watched a vid, and am in looooove. Want to purchase (pre-purchase), but need to know-can this phone be locked/what kind of security features does it have?

So I've managed to restore my device to the original image. I was following the solution from Tom and using his tool from here: http://files.nwwn.com/android/pro1/factory.html However, I've faced the same problem which some people were posting here: "Connection time out". Have no idea what could be the reason of that. Nevertheless, in the end I managed to successfully reflash the phone. The trick is to have prepared tool for reflashing and to press a button as fast as possible immediately after you reboot the device (power + volume button down). Because device ins completely unrespo

Thanks. When Foxconn factories restart at Shenzhen it will be in the news. This news is about Zhengzhou: Apple supplier Foxconn restarts key China plant with 10% of workforce, source says "The company, however, has not yet been allowed to restart production in Shenzhen, a southern manufacturing hub, the source said."

I'll attach it as a screenshot for others who can't get into it: basically it's something for the "near future"

I think they don't know it - also their manufacturer doesn't really know that I think. Even our PCB production partner can not predict when they are able to assembly our panels - not related to F(x)tec.

EskeRahn posted a NVRAM variable here, but how do I set it in fastboot?

Let us help F(x)tec with some show casing! I hope everybody will flash it around and spread the word to everybody they think might be just a little bit interested, or might know one that is... At Crackberry a guy was asking where he could try it hands on. So if you are willing to be contacted by someone that wants a hands on before buying, here is a tread to post your Country, state/region, nearest larger town, Then people can create an account in here and send a PM to arrange further. Please mark the geography in bold and/or a larger font, to make i

I'm on the 20200106 firmware but can't swear right now whether I was at the time.

This happened to me too and I reported it in the Known Bugs thread. For me, it mysteriously started working again after firmly squeezing the phone shut, and it has worked since. I don't know if it was a hardware or a software problem because it hasn't happened since....

Fn does not go sticky on Alpha.

KEYCODE_FUNCTION?

Windows 10, 64-bit, MTP (it's called "File Transfer" on the phone's USB menu) and, yes, USB debugging is enabled.

Well if if the Yellow arrows becomes Meta then why not let the Logo become Fn? And map Fn+] respectively Fn+Y as home (for qwertY and qwertZ), the key just above the logo, so very easy to press with one finger... And PERHAPS (similar to press and release Alt with Gboard) let Press and release Fn do Home as it currently does, if this does not require some special coding. Giving both the existing and potential additional behaviour.... Fn+1..0 plus next two could give F1 to F12.

I created another (bash-)script, modding the specific line in the recovery. I hope you like it: modbootimg Custom builds are available over my profile page -> My Profile - "About Me" tab

Thought this was worth reminding people of this while we wait for internal solution, as I've seen it referenced in a few other threads lately. Plus even if they fix the keyboard stuff, there's still plenty of use for this app.

I play ToonBlast. Other than that not playing anything currently, but I'd also rather like to buy a game instead of freemium where I have to pay more for coins or no-commercials-option.

I don't have the Pro1 yet, but I'm looking forward on playing Age of Empires with it. It worked fine but relatively slow on other keyboard sliders (Moto Droid 4, Photon Q), so it should really be much fun. Otherwise I don't really play games on the phone anymore since they are bloated with ads or purchase options (pay to progress). I'd prefer to pay 20-60€ and have a game to play instead of having to pay unlimited amounts of money to get realistic progress. The only exceptions were Exiled Kingdoms and Andor's Trail, both RPG games. Lastly, I'll try Terraria on Android and Starbo

My numbers come out the same. I have this card. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0758NHWS8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Could this be because of being formatted FAT32? I have no rel knowledge in this area. I luckily don't often write large files to the card, just occasionally move some media over from my PC. What I have noticed is that if moving a large amount of media via USB connection to my computer, the connection will time out after a while. I discovered this when trying to move my whole music library to the card. It took 3 or 4 attempts to

Thank you for answer. I'm on Magisk. When I was starting with Pro1 I was searching for method to not encrypt data partition (for future backups) but cannot find one...

Last update was "However because of the virus no one knows when the traffic is re-open and people can get back to work.", does it really help to just repeat the exact same information?

The data is encrypted by default. You can set a lock screen code or pattern, as well as a separate one at boot time. It is pretty much stock android. There isn't a built in app locker, that I know of, but you can use apps like Smart AppLock for that.

That would be a good thing but you can also make system wide shortcuts by using Keyboard/Button Mapper. It has a functionality to add specific shotcuts to key press combos.

My phone tried to brick itself when the SD card I set up as adoptable storage failed. I ended up having to flash back to stock, reapply the OTAs, and re-root as well. I had to take it back to Verizon along with my old Samsung so they could deactivate and reactivate my SIM. Until they did that, the Pro 1 would get stuck trying to register in the switch. That was per the Verizon tech watching what was going on from their end. Steps were: 1) put SIM back in Samsung and establish everything works; 2) deactivate and reactivate SIM, establish everything works; 3) put SIM back in Pro 1 and verif

Well we expected at the least the first part see discussions on the different variants with front-over-back or back-over-front previous in this thread.

...Well I received a P20 Pro split case like the one shown above today. Unfortunately because the screen half slips over the rear half it is too big to sit over the Pro1 screen. ☹️ The thing is the rear half also seemed slightly too big to stay on the screen. ...One thing I have found out is the Pro1 screen is far easier to open with the protectors over the screen, just need to find one that fits...

Just curious. Are they a-holes because they only want to support mainstream phones with a large enough customer base to be profitable or are they actually a-holes? 😉

That happened to me once. I then managed to mess up and brick my phone (trying to unroot and take OTA... not sure how but I refer to it in Magisk thread). I recovered by reflashing the October original factory image, took all the updates including the January one I had been trying to unroot for. When I set Verizon up again everything was magically working and has ever since. And, no, I don't suggest you try my remedy. 😉 🙄 Make sure you set everything back up, including all the LTE provisioning and selecting the right preferred network(s). "Global" works great for me. There's a l

One I spammed in the forum before, still happy with it 🙂 https://f-droid.org/en/packages/net.gsantner.markor/

CORRECTION #2 : testing the indicator LED actually worked just once, for missed phone calls - now it doesn't make a blink, nada. i suppose the Android permission settings in my Pro1 don't suit the requirements for the Light Manager 2 app. oh man, how much do i miss the CLI - there at least i know what and when i do something wrong... is there any other app out there that could help here ? HOPPALAH ! the LED is now blinking yellowish and greenish alternatingly, perhaps some 10min after i had started the last test ! there is even some red in the light. as you say, VaZso, a light d

Regarding the bug a few posts back where things found in the search results can't be found on the linked topic/page.... The problem appears to be when posts have been moved by a moderator to another topic. The search data isn't updated for whatever reason. I'm not sure if some index can be rebuilt for that or if it is a more ingrained bug with the forum software. It doesn't happen with every post moved. It could be that the search lags behind the move and that the instance I found today will be resolved when more time has passed.

Works fine here.

I saw in the long case thread @wilhelmfitzpatrick has fitted a carbon fibre skin for a note 10, and it looked quite good.

The router does both, of course, but my Pro1 is connected to the 5.8Ghz access point

That's weird - I thought a posted (another) response... I got it working by allowing updates over data/the network (instead of just wifi). All sorted. 👍

Speedtest also works fine on mine. And I did the ADB thing to allow charging when turned off, but I am not currently rooted, stock firmware. My BL is unlocked as it came to me that way and I have never changed that.

Could well be. Or perhaps the rooting mechanism is not perfected and have some odd side effects?

Yes that is what I wrote: Android Market , http://market.android.com/ ...I know i'm old, but I'm not going to use the silly alias

F(x)tec didn't think real hard about searching when they used parenthesis in the brand name and superscript in marketing name.

Munich, Germany

Didn't see it in the list, so Telus (Canada) working with no issues. 4G, calls, SMS, MMS, other data, all good.

You need to have usb debugging enabled, and ADB installed. Then we can execute fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1 EDIT: from fastboot mode, see Craig's correction below.

Yeah, it is so big you can use the back as a plate eating 😇😜 It is nice that it is rugged though 👍, To me the Passport design offers the worst of two worlds: A cramped always out keyboard and yet too big to possibly operate even partly one handed. The Key½ design I can understand, as you get a keyboard (though cramped), and a screen that at the least to some extend can be one hand operated. I mean the Titan is really Titan-sized, it is humongous. Liiterally like three SonyEricsson txt pro landscape-keyboard-sliders side by side--- (including the weight)

If I was F(x)tec I would get a portrait device in development to cover that section of the market.

Thats the problem these days no real differences between devices.

I was never in the BB team being a Nokia Communicator user long before they became a thing. Still as I was starved from physical keyboard smartphones I remember considering those Android BBs when they came out and decided not to, square screen and fixed keyboards are just not for me. Still too bad they stop doing it.
