Another DOA phone that wouldn't charge here. I was relieved to find this forum and that I was not the first to have experienced the problem. And I am happy to confirm that the rubber band hack worked for me also... Phone was still unresponsive after six hours, but the following day (after a total of 18 hours) it sprang to life. DigbyT

Updated via OTA to 21-20240928-NIGHTLY-pro1 without problem. Camera and flashlight function is back 🙂

I suspect that actually your Pro1x has been revived by the rubber band method but your problem is with the display. There is one easy thing you can check. The back of the display can be easily opened (5 screws, no glue) and you can check the ribbon cable to see if it is properly connected and seated. Unfortunately, if that's not it, it is probably a defective display. I wasn't sure whether you said FxTec didn't answer your email or replied saying they couldn't help you (meanng they have no display replacements they could send you). If the former, you may have to wait a bit. They are

A special thanks to @CornholioGSM for opening the ticket about the camera issue !

The latest build of LineageOS16.0 (for SD835 Pro1), dated 20240924, is available at https://findus.zwergenschaenke.net/~puma/linux.html#lineagepro1 (Kind of) full list of features: Backported security patches up to the September 2024 ASB. Improved keyboard behaviour (backported from later LOS releases) as documented in the local patch tarball. Several more improvements with respect to the upstream LOS 16 tree (GPS fix, touchscreen margin control, ...) as documented in that same patch tarball. Updated graphics driver stack (from LOS21). Update of the bund

How long did you leave on? It often needs to be overnight. And make sure it is on tight enough to keep the power button pressed. You may have done all that but wasn't clear with the details you provided.

Maybe you know better. I have been assuming that if you are updating OTA rather than sideloading, flashing the newer Gapps isn't relevant since the Google Apps are updated by Google.

There is a new mind the gab a few weeks old: MindTheGapps-14.0.0-arm64-20240925_175633 https://github.com/MindTheGapps/14.0.0-arm64/releases/tag/MindTheGapps-14.0.0-arm64-20240925_175633

As the saying goes: "The great thing about standards is there are so many to choose from" P.S. @EskeRahn Agree that a grounded 'sleeve' terminal at the base makes a lot of sense.

Be aware that there - unfortunately, are TWO standards for the four-pinned 3.5mm with microphone, I do not know if the wrong type could cause this. The OMTP and the CTIA. Now most devices (including Pro1/Pro1X) uses CTIA, some years back most (e.g the real Nokia) used OMTP. OMTP is an a LOT more sensible standard BTW, having ground close to a plug housing that could be metal. The easiest way to know if a given headset is CTIA or OMTP (if doc does not tell), is to measure the resistance between the right and left at the tip. Typically something like 320-340 Ω, then measure for he t

I was saying that even after you remove the screws, the screen will still cling to the base plate. Detaching it requires some prying tool to insert between the screen frame and the base plate.

Got it, thank you for confirming, EskeRahn. I ordered two screens from AliExpress, and will install them and see whether that is acceptable. Thanks for confirming!

The October build of LineageOS16.0 (for SD835 Pro1) is available. Head to https://findus.zwergenschaenke.net/~puma/linux.html#lineagepro1 and get the ROM dated 20241017. Changes since last month: Backported security fixes up to the October 2024 ASB. Update of the bundled System WebView and browser to Chromium 129.0.6668.70 (from LOS21). Have a lot of fun!

@zikad Well it will keep working BUT there is an issue with the outer edges being non responsive to touch with the screens we can find on AliExpress. The only KNOWN method we got to fix this touch issue Is to mount on a Pro1 (not Pro1X) and re-flash that....

While buying a miniature Phillips screw driver, make sure to also get some prying tool. Besides the screws, the display frame "clicks" onto the supporting base plate. Especially if it has never been removed before, fingernails are not enough to get it loose. You wont have to mess with the hinge mechanism by the way. However, be careful with the ribbon cable connecting the two halves of the phone: it is just long enough to allow you to reach the connector head. Once the display frame is unmounted (which is quite easy) you can check and re-seat the ribbon cables coming from the bottom ha

Hi. This warning is very important and is regarding many phones in fact. Your provider has to populate your phone with IMS files on first try as i know. If you don't verify if VoWifi and VoLTE are working fine from stock, you could not get this working well after flashing a new rom. That's already happened to me ☹️ many times.

(The variant with frame is sold out.... )

No the screens have always been fairly inexpensive and this one is even available with the proper frame (I believe, I have one in the closet but haven't had the need to install it). And you are lucky, as you have the Pro 1. The new screen will have a non-responsive area around the edges. You'll need to reinstall stock Android 9 and that will fix it because one of the updates included that patch that is needed. Unfortunately, that means you will have to wipe everything. At least I think so. You had to with the Elephone U Pro screens, which are the same screen. We still no real solution fo

Decided after some time to go back to using my Pro1 as a no-Google phone. So,factory reset and flashed Lineage-21-20241005-NIGHTLY-pro1-signed,zip with September 5th security patch and Magisk27.zip. All installed smoothly via ADB sideload. I tested root with TotalCommander and it was successful (I did have to let Magisk update via it's app after the sideload, but it took care of the boot image dance). Quick and easy.

Wait until you find out I don't use gestures.

That turned out well – they decided it was a warranty case and I got it back on Monday, repaired, like new, after about a month. I'm already missing the physical keys again, though. Still, compared to the Titan Slim, the big screen makes a huge difference. Because of that, it's much more than just a phone...

Okay, the big problem here, I believe, is that the directions you followed were for the Pro 1, not the Pro1x-- so you flashed Android 9 for an 835 SOC to a device that ran Android 11 with a 662 SOC. Unfortunately, I'm not technical enough to know if you can recover from that. I hope someone else here has that knowledge and can help. The instructions for flashing the Pro1x were here. I say "were" because it now looks like you have to request access when you click on the google drive. You can try that, but if you don't succeed DM me, I have the files. But you need someone else to aff

I Split this into a separate thread, as it was moving too far from the original thread on the rubber band trick for charging.

In a person's thinking, the answer addresses concern about compatibility. They seek reassurance that the phone will function normally after the screen replacement without needing a. reset.

@jjvdgeer In addition to what @EskeRahn said, even if FinQuerty's selection of layouts doesn't include one that's good enough for you, for someone who knows how to use Android Studio it is fairly easy to clone FinQuerty and modify the layout that's already closest to what they want, to make it near-perfect. (I did that to fix the US Intl layout for the Pro1X.) Also, if you use FinQwerty, I think you'll need to take care to not use a Pro1 layout on the Pro1X or vice versa, they're not fully compatible. By the way, are you sure yours is a Pro1? I have no knowledge of the Pro1 ever having co

...And just for being clear, this has to be done while it is constantly being connected to some power supply.

If you are on Stock, you do have a recovery. When you get the dead robot you need one more step. (This link is about the Pro 1, but I believe it is the same for the Pro1x-- not that I can test being on LOS 21) Whether getting to recovery helps or not, I don't know, but there is a stock recovery already.

Sorry, I missed that.

Looks like only the one with frame is sold out, but I can reuse the existing frame fine, just a bit more work according to the repair videos I saw. I was able to place an order for the screen itself.

I thought there was a chance it came over when I did a backup and restore with swiftbackup. Or maybe just its settings. Either way, I am using QuickStep on the Pro1X. Is there some difference you noticed on QuickStep for the Pro1 vs Pro1X?

This may be why I had to go back to quickstep (because the others didn't handle rotating well). Or it could have been they didn't have the pull up and search for an app functionality. It was too long ago now for my brain to remember.

That was my plan -- to start with those that require super user. They are listed in the magisk app and su can be removed from them there. I have about a dozen or so. And none of them are critical for day to day use, so I should be able to test it fairly easily. If that doesn't work, I will find an app to show me running processes/apps, and after a freeze, I will capture what was running (especially those running hidden in the background that I didn't launch). I can try disabling some of those. Of course, it isn't an issue I can reproduce, so it might take some time to track down th

Hello, my Pro1x also has a black spot, I also find it very annoying, yes, at the top edge it doesn't really bother me, but...! I also have to say that it doesn't work as expected. The camera is total crap. With the original app it rarely or never focuses and the Manuel Camera DSLR Pro app often freezes, despite being a paid version. Not nice. I want my BlackBerry Key2 back. It just worked and always worked. It was just that Android 8.1 was too old.

Hello, just got my new Pro1-X (ordered >2 years ago I guess). It was completely drained and not able to charge or boot. Thanks for Charging dead Pro1X to help out. It worked. But now I face a screen asking me for google credentials. What the.... AFAIR LineageOS was meant to work without Google using FDroid, MicroG and stuff. Now, why do I need to enter Google credentials ? I tried skipping but it only leads me to the next login page. So how can I start using this phone with a Google free approach and no Google login ? Any help ? And in case the Pro1X is not

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...

Smart custom case is now complete after drying overnight. Here are some screenshots next to F(x)tec Pro¹. It's using the same design as this other case with the folding front edge so that it can be used as support when unfolded. Seems to be working just fine so far. However I may make one based on the original Honor case with kick stand and hinge protection. I'll need to up my leather cutting game though. Screenshots are showing an unreleased version of Fulguris with improved foldable support. It is notably enabling rendering around cut-outs and support for specific configurations, inner scree
