I thought I'd share more of my thoughts since this post last April. I considered just posting in this thread but didn't really want to necro it after close to a year and my feelings on the phone aren't that much in common. So in no particular order: + It's so much faster and smoother than my Droid 4. For those of you who left the stone age long before me I'm sure this is no big deal, but I'm still happy with instant UI responses and fast internet. Before I was lucky to get a 1 or 2 mbit, especially as 3G was continually reprovisioned to 4G. Now it's tested as over 100! Who needs

I'm probably in the minority, but one of the reasons I never had a keyboard phone before is when I tried the first Droids, the keyboard was just too damn small. The pro1 is perfect for me. My thumbs easily reach any key without my ever changing my grip. And having a screen that size and that resolution really makes split screen practical. This phone has really made keyboarding for me possible. I am so grateful. I snap out the keyboard even to type "OK" 😄 However, I suspect there are a lot of you folks, so I hope FxTec manages to survive to make a smaller model. I think they would

Yes, for me @agent008's entire picture seems blurry. To answer your question: No, I never had this "tilted" focus others have observed and which indeed looks like a misaligned lens to me. My problem seems more like an misbehaviour of the double-action button, where upon pushing the button all the way down, the system changes the focal length once more, instead of just taking the picture. Does not happen all the time, so maybe I'm just pressing the button "wrongly". But I never had that issue with any other camera, so it's annoying enough for me to avoid that button now.

It's been good! The color calibration is different from the screen that came stock, but I have a working phone, with a working touch screen, so I'm happy.

I'm 100% with you. I remember I uttered that same criticism months ago (though I cannot find the thread anymore): The size of the keyboard feels wrong for me. It is too big for thumb-typing while holding the phone in hand, and too small for 10-finger-typing when putting it on a desk. I, too, could thumb-type much faster on my old N900. For sending the quick text message, I actually rarely use the hardware keyboard. That being said, I also never looked back. The big high-res screen is nice (though not very well suited to watching movies due to the green-tint problem), and there are so

Thanks @Hook and @vvv So I contacted support, who are saying that they've investigated this type of failure and they've determined it's caused by some sort of impact that has damaged the touch layer, but not the OLED layer. As such, it's not covered under warranty...I'm not going to argue the point because I can't prove what caused the malfunction either way. Annoying, but that's life I guess. I've migrated to using my spare phone because the random touch inputs are making my Pro1 unusable. ☹️ In any case, I've ordered 2 replacement displays from aliexpress, which are cheaper t

@Noob No problem here with two different 'Jabra Talk' in-ear/on-ear headsets, I'm using them regularly for conference calls.

In those cases, did you also get one part of the picture focused and the other blurry? Because the picture of @agent008looks more like what me and some others were experiencing. And that is apparently caused by some hardware defect in the camera module. In other threads a misaligned lens or problems with the stabilizer were named as possible causes. Or am I just misjudging the sharpness within the picture? Looking at it closer, the left side also seems blurry. Maybe it was only seeming to be stronger on the right side, where it's darker.

I got many shots like yours when trying to use the double-action (hardware) shutter button: I observed that the camera focuses fine at first (as visible in the viewer) but at the point of pushing the shutter button through, the lens defocussed again. For me, this late defocussing never happens when using the touchscreen ("soft-button") to take pictures (I'm using OpenCamera). So I have pretty much given up on the hardware shutter button for now. Quite sad, as the double-action shutter button was one of the things I liked most about my N900 ...

Unwilling to let go my LineageOS 16.0 setup, I started to compile my own builds some time ago. For the case anyone else still has interest in LineageOS 16.0, I've made them available here: http://findus.zwergenschaenke.net/~puma/linux.html#lineagepro1 As of writing this, the latest image contains the 2021-06-05 AOSP security fixes. I will probably continue to make new builds every month, as long as the sources keep getting patched by the good people at lineageos.org. Although based on the official sources, these builds are "unofficial" in that they are signed with the so-ca

Hello, Using gelraen teardown I disassemble my Pro1. I remove dust and (thanks to @DieBruine) screw down with loctite all what I see with abnormally operating clearance. I play a little with cameras stabilizer, everything looks normal. (My phone felt 2,50 m a month ago, and I only had VERY blurry pictures). I reassemble, and test. Oh, pictures look blurry (a little). Then I disassemble the cameras plastic-glass behind, play a little with cameras stabilizer, reassemble glass. (see attached picture from service manual) Surprise ! This camera works perfect, I can now taking pictures

I am getting similar problems with blurriness. Attached is a picture I (literally) just took. I am focusing on the right-half of the keyboard and it's very obvious that the camera isn't responding correctly. Based on what I've seen here, this seems like a hardware problem with the lenses? Is there a way I can fix this myself (somewhat handy)?
