  1. I was about to make an answer to this, when I saw that @Doktor Oswaldo did one in a much nicer tone than I was about to use. https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3292-pro1-and-pro1-x-design-change-to-use-snapdragon-662-no-new-devices-before-august-2021/page/6/?tab=comments#comment-56647

  2. Nobody is protected by laws just because a company thinks it is a purchase. The IGG Support page does state chargebacks, because some projects may explicitly allow it. That does not mean that this is law, or will work anytime. It does not mean that it doesn't work either, but getting to a juristic conclusion on this information is dangerous. Could depend on the credit card company you use, could happen that fxtec does indeed fight against the chargeback, no idea what happens then. Would you have to pay for the process? There are a lot of things to consider here. Does your country see

  3. I read that the 662 has about 80% of the performance of the 835. Since I was just going to use it to edit files and run a browser and a pdf reader inside a linux proot, I'm not sure it's really an issue for me. I think it's more of an issue for someone who was planning on running graphically intensive software. Honestly, I'd rather get the pro1x sooner, so that I can have a backup and they can get started on the pro2 campaign.

  5. If you are like me, you're an Android enthusiast and you love how the keyboard on the F(x)tec Pro1 makes it feel like a miniature laptop. However, you must have also noticed that most of Android isn't built for landscape use. I've thought about it for a bit, and I decided to make a Tasker profile that seamlessly changes DPI when the keyboard is opened. Assuming your close-up eyesight is fine, this allows much more information to be displayed on the screen in landscape mode, and gives Chrome desktop-like tabs at the top (basically a tablet mode). Since I am loving it so much, I bet there's at l

  6. So if I give (or lent) you some money and regretted that weeks later for what ever reason. I'm allowed to do a "chargeback" of that too? Sounds pretty absurd, if it is not limited to something I buy. That would certainly be a sure way to make people prefer cash payments...

  7. https://www.catphones.com/en-au/cat-s60-smartphone/ I had a CAT S60 few years ago, a fairly typical ruggedised phone with mid-range spec, but with a FLIR thermal "Predator vision" camera and hardware navigation bar buttons! It was a colossal brick of a phone. but the thermal camera was very useful for work and around the house....considering getting an addon FLIR camera for my Pro1. Would probably be rocking an S62 Pro if the Pro1 didn't exist.

  8. Hmm... That Z¹ looks cute. For €199 it doesn't seem like a bad phone to have as a backup...

  9. Yes they do. Contact them at info@fxtec,com with a full description of the problem(s) and they will get back to you. It may take them a week or two to reply to the email, varying on volume of mail and things like how locked down they are. I just had a successful repair done.

  13. Yeah but the cool thing with tasker is the auto adjust on situation, I made one more task when the phone connects to my car Bluetooth everything is bigger and it start music too. For the OP I can understand the idea the phone act a lot more like it should. In portrait or landscape the size is normal and there is no special needs to be precise on touch on the screen. Then when you need more productivity and get that keyboard out everything follow for the time you need it and get back to normal when it close. I'm probably getting old on this and don't want my phone up to my face ever

  15. Wow that Gmail look, I was trying to get it back since I first saw it on my Photon Q back then. I don't really like how secondscreen mess android setting and don't put them back like they were before it start but the result are pretty more like what I thought this phone would look like at the beginning when the dpi is at 280. I'll give it a longer shot trying to get it to put back the parameter correctly. Thanks for this find

  16. I'm still figuring out when I want to use the physical keyboard (for now, mostly for fun or when browsing the web), other times I simply use Google Keyboard which is much faster for me with suggestions on, to text friends and such. I personally want my F(x)tec Pro1 to feel like any other smartphone in portrait mode, with apps and in-app buttons being quite large, and be able to switch to the physical keyboard when I want more of a laptop/productivity feel for the device, with the display size and fonts being much smaller, and getting the full desktop sites in Chrome.

  17. I guess I don't use my Pro1 in portrait enough to understand the problem this is addressing. I use my Pro1 in landscape 95% of the time. I'll snap out the keyboard even to type "OK" 😄 I have my display size set to "smallest" in settings and I get a goo deal of screen real estate, in either landscape or portrait, but certainly landscape. I mostly do all my settings for landscape. I don't really care a whole lot about hoe things look in portrait. The very few apps I use that insist on portrait orientation (generally, if I find one, I look for replacements), I just split screen. Never real

  18. Hello, My replacement display is available (Elephone U), don't need it anymore, I have planned to replace my screen but I lost my phone...it's 100% new, in original package. I have seen about drivers problem with spare screen, but if I understand correctly @EvilDragon has found a solution (as always 🙂) So I can send it, delivery costs are 12,90euros for Europe and 6,45euros for France. If anyone can use it, feel free making me an offer (I have to buy some beers ) and I send it. I can also send it from Schwitzerland. (Basel) Regards, G.

  19. Try asking your bank for a card chargeback. They treat it as a purchase and are not bound by igg. I wouldn't let the money go. I waited near 9 months for my Pro1 but a specs change would have made me snap for sure. If they wanna go about it the hard way so be it.
