Thanks guys for your suggestions. Just an update for those who would like to use usb c to Ethernet adapter. the one i was trying to use and wouldn't work with Pro1 is the Belkins. it did works on samsung and nokia but wouldnt work with Pro1. so now i bought this UGreen adapter. it works fine with pro1 and i get very good speed as well. so the ones interested in it can try UGreen - https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B091T7LPJP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yup. I guess the reasson is that it require more skills to change only the display, than the whole frame. So better to sell the more expensive option than having people destroy the phone. And it could also be that the wholesale price difference is outweighed by the price of a technician, so it might also be cheaper for their warranty to change the larger part. ..obviously an argumentation that only make sense if they are able to source the parts

I can't even get a reply from FxTec. Waiting months, sending the occasional reminder email, and even sending a whole new support request gets me nowhere. It's not even a warranty claim, I'm literally asking if I can purchase a replacement display. The last response they sent to me completely missed what I was asking; I wanted to know if I could buy a replacement display and organise for it to be shipped together with my Pro1x, and the response was basically "not to worry, the Pro1x will be manufactured soon". 😕 It's funny to me that so many people are complaining about their lack of IG

Honestly, your best shot is to pay for the tech bundle on IGG (an extra battery can't hurt) as they are unlikely to have any to sell as spare parts before those go out. They originally said their intent was to send all perks for the same person at the same time. Not sure if they'll keep to that if the orders are made far apart in time. That's of course the display in the whole frame assembly. If you just want the display you probably have to go the AlieExpress route as I don't think FxTec has ever made just the display available.

Interesting. Did you actually measure the data rate? As I wrote above, I am stuck to around 200 Mbit/s with my UGreen ethernet, which is slower than the Pro1's wifi (but of course still fine for all everyday tasks).

They have posted another update here:

true all this i wonder with what software it wil ship must be android right? right ? watch this phone arrive without software 😂

LineageOS 16.0 is basically Android Pie with the proprietary Google stuff removed. The Linux kernel is identical to the one shipping with the Pro1's Android OS. As it is the kernel that is doing all the hardware support, I would thus assume that a device that works in LOS 16 should work in Stock Android, too. But, no, I haven't tested it. Sorry.

I have got this combined card-reader, USB-hub, HDMI-adapter, and ethernet card: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B093FKT9BF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 All features of that hub work out-of-the-box in LineageOS (16.0 over here, still). That said, performance-wise, the Ethernet adapter does not even remotely reach the advertised 1 Gbit/s: iperf3 measures ~150 Mbit/s up and ~230 MBit/s down. On the same network, with the same peer, I easily get 300-400 MBit/s via the Pro1's WiFi ...
