  1. It may happen that antenna design of Pro1X is worse than Pro1's design (I don't know) but this problem sounds like most likely the SoC's firmware also has problems which should be independent of F(x)tec... or other manufacturers are actively doing workarounds on poorly written software of the main component of the phone? ...or other manufacturers are receiving firmware updates from Qualcomm to address SoC-related issues but F(x)tec does not? ...or something happens which triggers an issue what does not happen on other phones? ...

  2. I'm on German O2 (cannot recommend), and mobile communication is horrible. Unfortunately I couldn't get the LTE-Discovery app to work on LineageOS. What is that "No LTE cycle"-mode actually doing? Meanwhile I have found Rx Monitor, which at least allows me to see what radio frequencies the modem is using, though that app (to my knowledge) cannot influence the modem behaviour. Contrary to what others observe, my Pro1-X works when it manages to connect on band 3 or band 1. It seems to fail when forced to use band 20, the "long-range" LTE frequency (800 MHz). Unfortunately, both, my Pro

  3. I'm sure the Pro1x is not a money maker at this point, but Fxtec does have another venture that may be quite successful (you have to scroll to the very bottom of the page to find the FxTec link). https://www.linxdot.com/ I discovered it when Expansys sent me an add pairing the Pro1x with this device. It may be why they are not out of money. If so, great.

  4. I had some crashes with the camera app on Pro1 if 1080p 120 FPS video was selected. Did you enable that setting? Also, if you launch Snapdragon Camera app via hardware camera button you will not see preview of previous pics. It will show preview icon if you launch camera via app drawer. That might explain why you see it sometimes.

  5. I can only add that for me, in Germany, with either Vodadone or T-Mobile as the carrier (the third of three German carriers, Telefónica/O2, may be a different story, I have no such SIM card to try), the device is usable for both telephony and mobile internet access with some but no too severe connectivity issues, at least since I've been running the LTE Discovery app in "No-LTE cycle" mode. (Until I installed LTE Discovery I used to carry a mobile Wifi router with VoWifi enabled on the phone, which I still sometimes do and which of course makes for an even better and actually quite perfec

  6. Wife with FP3 (plus easily added FP3+ camera upgrade) here, too; excellent device (stock Android with exemplary update/upgrade service, though thinking about moving to an ungoogled alternative ROM). If it wasn't for the keyboard, that would be what I'd use, too. FP with hardware keyboard would have been be the greatest... I had been hoping for a bit of that originally from Fxtec... but that would inevitably have been clunkier and even more expensive.

  7. That is a really interesting observation. And this points towards software/firmware and not hardware! I mean the most likely common denominator is that it works when not switching bands. So it could really be the band-switching that is flawed! That would explain why testing on different frequencies might have worked well, but real life switching could still fail. It might be under particular conditions or special pairs of bands - I have no idea, just guessing... If some carriers use mainly one band (at the least in some areas), we might not see it, but other carriers might rely more h

  8. I dont have 120 fps mode, that isnt a thing on the 1X. But you are right about the gallery icon, thanks!

  9. I was wondering about that, is there a phone with the same chipset? Could we pull something from there and port it over to a ROM for the Pro 1x?

  10. As in the title. The standard method is TWRP, but, as far as I know, TWRP for the Pro1 only supports SailfishOS and doesn't support LineageOS or /data decryption (aka device lock). In a nutshell, I want to try be able to clean flash a ROM and be able to revert to my current setup without hassle.
