Thought I would copy @npjohnson's post over here to kick off the new thread. Thanks to the whole Lineage team! I will be an early adopter. Here's where it will pop up. https://download.lineageos.org/devices/pro1x/builds Here's the proper instructions (thanks @steff) https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pro1x/install Can't wait for Thursday!

You may be right, but that would surprise me. I would think if that were the case, messenger phones would be much more available from the big companies. Most of that audience out there look at me like I'm either nuts, eccentric, quaint or Grandad,,, sometime all of the above... whenever I snap out my keyboard (rarely ever use either my Pro1 pr Pro1x without the keyboard). They are somewhat mystified by how good my internet is, but they don't see the cheap moto on Verizon in my other pocket serving a secure WPA2 connection. 😉

I agree that the Pro1-X's keyboard is better than the Pro1's. But, yes, for me the whole point with the Pro1/Pro1-X is to carry around only the one device I need anyway - my phone. A single device that works as a normal Android slab most of the time but can transform into an UMPC if I urgently need to get some stuff done while away from a real workstation. If I were to settle for carrying two pocket-sized devices all the time, I'd probably choose something else than a Pro1/X as the "computer". I think there are far more capable miniature laptops. But, honestly, I think this discussio

I understand frustration over the phone not working for many people, but don't quite get these two choices being the only ones. Sure, if you wanted the phone to work, try and sell it and get your money back. But box it and forget about it? All of us invested in a keyboard phone. Presumably, people didn't need a full slide out keyboard to make phone calls. So people, like me, had needs and uses in mind that made a physical keyboard far more ideal than an on-screen keyboard. What we ended up with, in my opinion, is a pocket computer with one of the finest keyboards I have ever used on

Forget it. People from all over the world have been reporting those network problems for 8 months now. At one point @Casey even acknowledged that this is one of the most reported issues. Still, they haven't come up with even a glimpse of a solution. I think the two most likely explanations are: 1) Something is systematically wrong with the qx1050's RF hardware, causing it to fail in many regions/networks. 2) There are a lot of defective devices around, as @Rob. S. suggests. Either way, f(x)tec will not have the (financial) means to fix all those devices. All they can do is keep affected c

Nope, I've used the previous one daily for 20 months. Installed Los yesterday. Cold GPS fix seems to be an issue. But apart from that, still like brand new and good connectivity. QX1000. PRO1X remains in its box.

There has not yet been an update to the stock Android 11 it comes with, which is why the updater says that. Hopefully they will get updates released in the future, but so concrete information at this time. Lineage 20 for the Pro1x will be officially released this Thursday. Currently, flashing that will be the only way to have security updates.

Apparently, someone listened and now there is crucial information directly in the first paragraph: It certainly feels like QWERTZ is once again in low supply. But hey, last time they've ended up upgrading my Pro1 order to a Pro1x, who knows, maybe I'll get upgraded to a Pro2 in a couple of years.

New update:

No OTA has showed up, but there was at least one time that happened and then it showed up on Wed. But it may be all hands on deck for getting ready with the Pro1x Official release scheduled for Thursday. 😉

I've updated the model to include a thicker version that works well with TPU. I've been using it for the last couple of weeks without any trouble. Ignore the card holder. It doesn't work for payments, it's too thick. I was thinking of adding a hex grid but that would also expose the card. 😕

I wonder whether there may be differences between samples... Unfortunately, I cannot check right now, as I sold my first Pro1X soon after I got another one from the batch sold by Expansys, now that I've come to the conclusion that even with all those umlauts in my language I prefer a US keyboard layout... But while I did have the impression that the first sample was quite usable at least with the 'LTE DIscovery' app active in 'No-LTE cycle' mode, that isn't the case anymore with the second device. Phone calls drop out after a few words or even before the other end takes the call, LTE inte
