F(x)tec has promptly replied within 7hrs and has offered to send me a replacement screen module. A+ for service and support.

Feeling sorry for you mate. Don't worry though even the smartest of us make bad decisions at times. Thanks for sharing your experience with Planet. When I saw the Cosmo specs I thought those guys are either really talented or out of their minds. Now I know which one.

I do have a cosmo communicator, it's shelved. I tried making it a daily driver for a month or so. It's not past the prototype stage to be honest. The outside screen is a gimmick that doesn't work but comes with MASSIVE downsides (they somehow messed up the android doze / deep sleep by implementing the cover display sync, it's an extra low power microcontroller that exchanges information with android). The mediatek performance is shit (like expect typical websites to literally stutter and hang while rendering). The battery life is awful too (thanks to the messed up android sleep, but

By that logic Apple is a Chinese company attempting to frontline in the US. You will find it really hard to find any phone-brand out there, that is build 'in the west'.

@ahunterYes it works in messenger but not in any chrome or webview browsers I tried. Sometimes the popup in blank sometimes it just shows the add and delete entries.

So you never heard about the Samsung Galaxy Fold? And that's just the first example that comes to mind. And advertising never, ever, was honest. In the best case, advertising is about presenting and exaggerating advantages over the competiton while hiding disadvantages. Ask aPple about their charging pad... But of course it is totally unfair to the industry to take to tiny players like Samsung and aPple as examples 😇 [/sarcasm]

Depending which letter I change, that can mean thinner or thicker. It's like trying to perfect the ideal combination of T and F on a true/false test when you're not sure.

Oh, for heaven's sake, you completely ignore the substance of Eske's post and bring out the Flag and a full marching band for the humorous quip he made at the end (I'm not really sure what having three full grown daughters with families has to do with anything here, but congratulations). And lol on the the comment about GB our mother country. 😄

Sometimes pops up blank and sometimes it works. Definitely plays up most in chrome.

I wont be trying the fix, my phone is still functional, just have to be careful where I touch the screen to scroll. I also never use on screen keyboard, this is why I waited for a Pro1. I am patient, F(x)tec have promised to send me a replacement screen and have indicated the issues with COVID-19 and delays that could be caused. I am happy with this.

I think this is the thread you're looking for: Yeah, my phone is still sitting broken on my desk. This was my experience with warranty support: when I mailed them the day after I made the thread, they asked me to submit a video for QC purposes and asked if I would like to send in my phone for them to repair or if I would like to do the repair myself (I told them I would prefer sending them my phone so they could have a look at other smaller issues like the screen webble that got worse and worse and the really poor 4G reception), sent the fideo they promptly replied that a replacement s

I remember the post, could not find it. It was using a piezoelectric igniter to fix the issue. Real fix will be F(x)tec sending me a new complete screen module, I will then just swap out.

Sorry it is in Tasmania where Ilive and I am locked down at work in Western Australia, It is reasonable quality, probably not real leather but pretty good for the price.

Another user had the same problem reported somewhere in here, and there even was an odd cure. Do not recall the thread, so try searching...

Camera lines up perfect. Does need small hole for the rear mic. But you can take the phone out of the flipcase with the magnetised back.

That looks awesome. I like that detachable feature too. What about rear camera and mic access? Moreover since this is detachable I wonder if you could use the P20 Pro variant of the inner case together with the P30 Pro variant of the outer case to get larger camera cutout.

This One Works Perfect: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/153298929217 Wallet closes perfectly (No Mods required). A little thinker than some other cases. Phone is removable while still protected in removable case. Cutting required to access charge port, finger scanner, top speaker and headphone jack. No cutting required for power and volume. The raised buttons on case are slightly mis-aligned but work perfectly.

Sure. If you are offering lol.

There is a new kid on the block: Fulguris. Nothing much specific to Pro1 yet. Expect soon Pro1 friendly keyboard shortcuts.

MediaTek doesn't release any open source code. So custom roms like Lineage etc. are very difficult to make. So you are stuck with stock. And further, given that it's all closed source Chinese code, I'm not going to take any chance that it's spying on me.

See if this helps you: https://android.onse.fi/finqwerty/ Otherwise, no ideas from me.

I have been getting weird behavior when scrolling in landscape since I got my Pro1. Turns out part of the screen digitiser is dead. The left edge of the dead spot is directly in line with the phone speaker slot in the screen, the dead spot is not quite as wide as the speaker slot. The Letter 'T' is also nearly impossible to use when using the on screen keyboard in portrait mode. usually always selecting the letter either side. I thought I would post here first prior to requesting a new screen module on warranty.
