Not dead after all? New blog post just posted. "We are excited to inform you that we expect to restart shipping before the 28th of June, pending your completion of the form. This will cover approximately 3/4 of all our backers. We will continue our efforts to reach out to the remaining backers shortly thereafter."3 points

There might be work around! What if you install different virtual keyboards and select different layout for each one to the physical keyboad settings? Then use Keyboard Switcher and Key Mapper to bring up the pop up for the virtual keyboard selector. I tested it to be working with my self made qwerty phone (bluetooth keyboard). Edit: You can use the same key combo to bring up the keyboard selector. Biggest downside is that you need to change back the prefered virtual keyboard manually if needed for portrait use.2 points

Somewhere in this forum there was a thread abot flashing softwares, related to @tdm. Once my friend used his Pro1 for calling, placed it on a table, then the next time he wanted to use it it was off and did not start again. It was replaced by F(x)tec in warranty, but I have tried a few things before sending it back. The phone seemed to be completely dead but under Linux, I could see it is in EDL mode. When I pressed power button for around 10 seconds, it has rebooted, then entered to EDL mode again after a while. So it was constantly on waiting in EDL mode depleting the battery2 points

Well I do agree on personal level, I love the keyboard format, and used it all the time. I do not think the Time of keyboard phones is over, I do think the time of customer choice is over. The game changing change apple showed with the first iPhone was not a technical aspect of the phone, it was the marketing. Apple showed, that it is more efficient, to advert the same phone to all the people, than to build the right phone for different people. A development we all know from supermarkets and cars. The illusion of choice. They give you different products, but they are mostly the s2 points

OK, 3/4 of backers, but what about people who ordered from the website and got upgraded to Pro1x? Do they get a survey too?1 point

Okay, thanks for the hint. I'll leave it on the charger overnight and see what happens. Thank you. Stefan1 point

Have you tried to put Pro1 into a charger for several hours even so nothing happens when you connect the cable? Atleast you can try since there is nothing to lose.1 point

For sure, that wouls be too expensive to respond to the needs of clients, that is more profitable to massively sell an expensive basic device that doesn't realy corespond to users needs ... For summary, I think what killed FX tech is the sum of: Young company + Brexit + Covid + production stop of processors + explosion of the costs of shipments1 point

I received the USB adapter so my QWERTY phone is pretty much ready. It was quite a tight fit to add the adapter so I had to shave it little bit. You can find picture attached. Regarding software, I made an automation with MacroDroid that changes the virtual keyboard based on orientation. For landscape I am using NoKeyboard app so there is no virtual keyboard at all and Gboard for portrait. It is working very well. You just need to perform easy ADB hack to allow WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS. And the funniest thing is that I ended up using FinQwerty app for the keyboard layout. After te1 point

Lineage-21.0-20240420nightly-pro1-signed.zip on April 5 (2024) security patch, installed smoothly using OTA -> I forgot to install Magisk before, so I´ve to repatch the boot.img again -> Still the bluetooth issue with my smartwatch (will be patched with QPR2, I think / read)1 point

I'm not disagreeing with your main point. You are right. But for someone who doesn't like using their phone in portrait and abhors touch-screen keyboards, there are work-arounds that, if you don't mind a little more scrolling (I don't-- that's one of the trade-offs I'm willing to make) make it not so bad. Here is what Newpipe (I had to download it) looks like with my display settings on my Pro1x: And it gets better if I actually just search... And while I don't want to show you my calendar, I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see an entire month on screen and1 point

I have been trying to develop tilting mechanism to my prototype case. The idea is to put a wedge inside the rail for tilting. However, I have still not managed to make it strong enough. Maybe I can figure out how to build a support for the phone so that it will stay stable. Still needs some tinkering...1 point

Hello, I have a Pro1 with LineageOS 16. So far the Pro1 has run without any problems. Yesterday it shut down during operation and won't start again. There is also no response from the charger. I have tried the following so far: - long press on the power button (more than 30sec) - all combinations of the volume buttons pressed with the power button - Disconnected the battery, pressed the power button, reconnected the battery, then tried to start again with all key combinations -battery replaced, Unfortunately, I no longer have any idea what el0 points

All they are saying is that we should wait a bit more. Let's wait another two two whole months to hear new excuses. Phones got stolen and sold over other platforms? Sure. But nobody told us when we got angry about all those phones getting sold while we already paid them? Those 3/4... how would we check that number? Also, what about those regular orders over the shop page? I asked for a refund two months ago since I personally need the money this year. I was told almost immediately that my refund request is being processes. Nothing happened. I asked again, same message. It's li0 points
