I'm still waiting for my astro slide. I was just lucky to have one of the first Pro¹-X shipped. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any android usable phone for me. I can't type anything (even swiping) on a flat surface without any texture on where the buttons are at any meaningful speed. I've tested with my Pro¹-X my typing speeds with the on screen keyboard is 30cpm vs 160cpm on keyboard vs 260cpm on my laptop. This is all a terrible timing problem of a triple blow. f(x)tec is just caught in the middle and Planet Computers too.

The thing is that though the functionality is similar, it is not the native phone that supports a standard hdmi over usb-C. This is an app that does all the work, and sends data out through the usb to a specialised unit in the cable creating a hdmi-signal. The principal difference is whether the chipset/phone itself does this, and any standard usb micro-docking or simple dongle can be used, or it is a generic software solution that works on 'any' phone with an usb-c port. I do not know any details on how a standard hdmi over usb-C works (did not read this: https://www.hdmi.org/spec/t

(I took the liberty to merge this with an old thread on the subject)

I took the liberty of spliting out the technical discussion of the HDMI stuff. You will find those posts here:

Hence why id rather decompile it and poke around. I don't trust it one bit.

If one would pull on their tinfoil cap for just a moment, the combination of an unreasonably large cable connector combined with "a proprietary app or two" from a no-name chinese cable manufacturer sounds like a great way to do many shady things 😁

That "web3 garbage" has been going on since early 2022 at least and is likely how our Pro1xs got manufactured. Thank goodness, because clearly the troubles with the Pro1x were costly, As for the new phone, that is a separate project, may not exist yet other than as a branded plastic model in Adrian's pocket and if it brings in investment that can be used to help solve the shipping problem, fine with me. Yes, web3 is the web and not all that useful in modern industrialized settings, but there are some uses, as I understand it, in forming ad hoc networks in regions not well served by

And personally, as a backer of a Pro1x I will most likely never recieve, if they do end up officially selling the devices meant for backers, I will explore any available legal avenue, as that would be extremely doubtful business practice, and most likely illegal in most countries. (Taking money for creating a product, with a promise of delivery of such a product to the sponsor in case creating said product succeeds, and then selling them off to someone else entirely). Just my two cents.

Sad, but it certainly feels so.
