  1. This morning my phone signal went dead. I went to the phone menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and all the Volte and Voice over Wifi switches were turned off. This is the second time this has happened to me since December, so the good news is it doesn't happen often. Thankfully, because I have no clue as to why. But I just wanted to make folks aware this is a possibility. If you suddenly lose signal on Verizon, check the phone menu.

  6. A couple of days ago my Pro1 started seriously overheating and draining its battery. Rebooting didn't help. After investigation I noticed it was constantly using network bandwidth both upload and download. Settings battery usage was reporting Gmail as being most greedy. Network monitoring tools were in fact showing some Google Service was responsible for that traffic. Turning off auto-sync in Gmail fixed the issue. Battery life is now awesome with the downside that emails and personal info don't sync automatically, obviously. I only have two accounts in Gmail, namely Google Gmail and

  7. I'm still using Launchtime and find it refreshingly simple, but it suddenly dawned on me why I love it so much. As an old Palm PDA user from way back, this is essentially the old Palm Launcher... tabs with categories with each tab showing a window of icons of apps you have identified as belonging to that category. There are a few updated tweaks... tabs rather than a drop down (a tweak all third party Palm launchers added), a hidden category (very useful for getting Pro key icons and other useless things out of your way. and some personalization features. As mentioned much earlier in this thr

  9. I am not sure if that information is useful at all, but I recently had the Google Photo app causing overheating and battery drain on my Priv. So maybe there currently is some problem with synchronisation of Google Apps in general?

  10. Haven't yet received the phone but I'll be using Kiwi Browser since it has support for desktop extensions. Having uMatrix on your phone really is helpful. And you know what? You can easily export the filters from your PC and import it on the phone. The only downside is the missing synchronisation since google blocked any chromium apps from their automatic synchronisation. I'll do it manually every now and then to have the full list of bookmarks. Edit: Adblock should work too but I didn't really need it with uMatrix yet since it already blocks ads anyways.

  15. Can we get a website similar to what Google gives for its hardware binaries and firmware images, like so? https://developers.google.com/android/drivers It would make it way easier to support the community and the development of alternate ROMs, or to roll your own without having to: Is there a walkthrough for pulling binaries off a device? What is the procedure to factory restore a device if you brick it when making a ROM?

  17. For what it's worth, I haven't noticed any similar issue, but only use one gmail account. I think if this was a common issue, google would be on top of it. So it's probably a you issue. But on previous device I used to use K-9 for years and was always happy with it....

  18. You're right. But are they needed? With Lineage you can use the AOSP layouts..... But maybe they are. I see he made them for Photon Q and I always thought the asanti layouts provided with CM/LOS were good enough, so what do I know.... I don't type other languages....

  20. I'd recommend trying this from the shell to see what has changed in the last N days. You'll have to install Magisk again. Change "-1" to "-2" "-3" etc to go back more than 1 day.

  22. It is definitely persistent so I've contacted support, they will be sending out a replacement screen with instructions on how to replace it. I had the option of sending it the phone off to a centre in London but decided I'd give it a go myself instead (I like a little tinkering). Will update this post when it's replaced to advise on the outcome.

  23. Also reference the issue tracker. QWERTZ layout is still marked as having bugs and still not closed, so probably still work in progress. https://github.com/tdm/android_device_fxtec_pro1/issues/35 You can control the fn key combinations without changing layouts the way tdm implemented the driver. And don't use finqwerty layouts with lineage, they're intended for stock and would have to be modified for Lineage which handles sym, slantarrows, and Fx differently.

  24. It is intended to work that way. To be close to the same as in pc keyboard. So you should mostly forget the yellow markings on the keyboard and use shift+number shortcuts as they are on your pc. I'm too lazy to search the post for you, but if you search these pages for at least five pages back, you should find some discussion and explanation for this.

  25. My original phone (mid to late 90s) wasn't even a dual band phone so there was no chance of analog. It was purely digital PCS w/digital modulation. Your dad would have probably liked my model better as you and mom wouldn't have been able to run up his bill by roaming! LOL. Right. This is exactly what I understood your request to be. Additionally, using a mule isn't only on the user, it also has nothing to do with the Pro1's technology. It's purely a case of Verizon's internal policies about which devices can be used for activating a SIM card. However, once the SIM is activat

  26. I bought a new phone after i sent my pro1 in for repairs. I don't have a problem with waiting, but I only sent my phone to them after they have already confirmed to have replacement phones because I specifically did not want to buy another phone. Then I waited like two weeks after sending in the phone and had to buy another, because I sold my old phone and wasn't planning on having multiple phones around. I need my phone for my job. I also know that the circumstances now are quite unfortunate, but I still feel the support replies have been a little dishonest. I've received multiple messag

  27. Yes, to be clear, priority or not, I am simply requesting that LOS be able to do what stock can do. Verizon works on stock using LTE only. It allows the VoLTE and Voice over Wifi switches to be turned on, which appears to be all that is needed for Verizon to work. The user still has to use the mule workaround to get a SIM provisioned for VoLTE, but that's on the user. It works in stock.

  28. [Note: This post is on an esoteric topic, and is only suitable for people who enjoy tinkering with their phones. Please don't try any of this if you aren't willing to erase everything on your Pro1] Project Treble made it possible in theory to run new versions of Android without requiring any OEM updates. If you've tried this in the past then you know the usability results can be 'mixed' 😉 The good news is that the Pro1 ships with fairly good Treble support, and you can find some information about how well it works while running an Android 10 generic system image (GSI) at https://github.co

  29. I am also a developer of both hardware and software and I would not say that creating a phone from scratch is easy. You are right about the SoC itself does a lot of things but you should follow several considerations, select appropriate components and routing, so you have to have appropriate skills and experiences. Also, creating a phone from scratch can be relatively easy for an expert who is also familiar with multi-layer PCB design, but creating a good phone needs much more experience not speaking about good mechanical design and EMI / EMC considerations and the price of testing a

  30. Try one S10 launcher and their camera app one S10 camera. the launcher works well in both landscape and portrait, customisable app draw, transition effects, change the font in the draw, you can buy the full version, I don't think it's worth it unless you want to create folders in your app draw. Camera app is ok don't really use my phone for taking professional/ high quality pics. I installed because it worked and the same people made the launcher.

  32. It is certainly a big leap between an Iphone and a Pro1. Nice that some variety exists now, so each can find what suit them the best. I for one hope I never have to go back to Ios. Though my magnetically attached landscape&portrait keyboard solution for it worked reasonable well. See here for more images. (Note how it when attached in portrait, is mounted so the device is centred between G and H)

  33. Don't forget to deselect the keyboard profile and hide the notification to set it, the keyboard will then operate as intended. This is a nuisance bug.

On the keyboard, I would extend the list a bit of other non-obvious things (in no particular order here) Alt+Tab and Alt+Sh+Tab : Task switching Logo-key : Home Alt+Sym : Reawakens keyboard-light like close&open (FinQwerty only) Ctrl-Space : Rotate between installed keyboard-layouts (e.g. US and a national one) Alt pressed and released : Launches Emoji (Does NOT work with SwiftKey installed 😖) Esc : Back (If FinQwerty installed ONLY Back if the app does not use the Esc key - e.g Termux does) Fn+Esc : Back (Even if app understands Esc, Fi

  35. I have added a new lights HAL to the patched vendor.img that forces the keyboard backlight to follow the display backlight state. Whenever the screen is on, the keyboard backlight is on as well. This isn't ideal, but it works well enough that I felt it was worth an update. I also updated the kcm to include VaZso's patch, so shift/fn + arrow keys will send PGUP/PGDOWN/HOME/END, and fn + backspace sends BACK while fn + Del sends FORWARD. The download directory now includes a brief changelog file, with notes about what was changed on each date. The changes are cumulative, so the latest date
