Soo yesterday i have madded my battery refurbishment . It was simple process - remove kapton tape, cut old battery cell contacts from pcb, littlebit shorten contacts on new cell, solder new cell to pcb with spot welder, isolate, bend pcb to correct place and then new kapton tape. It looks like original and whole process was for 5 mins 🙂 I am now inside testing - charged to full - lineage batt info shows approx 2900mA after full charge. I have now 66% on battery after 10 hours usage (lineage update, yt music for 2 hours in car, 40 mins on browser, some calls e

Soo yess...my phone have stuck on 10% (battery saver) for more than one hour with youtube playing. Final time on battery was approx 34 hours and 6 hours on display. After second charging my phone charges up to 3138mAh but after few seconds after disconnect chager it shows again 2900mAh. It looks like i can be happy with new cell. Question is for how long. BTW cell looks exactly same as original with contacts on exactly same place.

Another unofficial build of LineageOS 16.0 (for qx1000) is here, celebrating 3 years of support beyond its AOSP EOL. 🥳 At https://findus.zwergenschaenke.net/~puma/linux.html#lineagepro1 Go for the ROM dated 20250203. Changes since last release: Backported fixes up to the "1 January 2025" Android Security Bulletin. Updated system WebView and browser engine to Chromium 132.0.6834.122. Have fun.

Hi @drcp, @Hook has written down all the essential information already. I just want to add that, while the black spots in the corners are standard for these screens, they do not worsen over time. I own three Pro1 and one Pro1-X: All have the black corners to some degree, but even for the oldest device they have been stable over time. Concerning QWERTZ vs. QWERTY: F(x)tec lost many QWERTY devices to unauthorized grey marketing by their Chinese logistics partner company, which is likely the reason they ran out while shipping to backers. If you are really unhappy with the keyboard

I'm not sure how to approach the word "Fair" in all of this, Neither what backers have had to go through, nor all of what FxTec was hit with producing these phones, resulting in what the backers had to go through, are fair. I'm not arguing you are not entitled to feel as you do, or dismissing your concerns, but there is a lot of backstory to this, contained in the IGG updates and in the production thread on this forum. First, note, when you back a project on IGG you are not even guaranteed a product. You are investing in hope of a return, not buying. Despite being hit by disaster after

Think it’s time for me to join the action. I’ve got a Pro1x in daily use since July, stock Android 11. I’m located in Denmark, ’Telia/Telenor’ network if anyone wonders. In the time I’ve had it, I’ve been on vacation driving through both Germany, Austria and eventually Italy. I haven’t had a single connection issue anytime, other than sending MMS from Italy didn’t seem to work. Positives: No network issues No hardware issues No issues calling/receiving calls. Texts also fine. Build quality is decent. Only the buttons on the side are a bit flimpsy. Batter

To be honest with you, I didn't believe this hold-power-button-5-hours hack will work, but it did! Thanks a lot everyone! 🙂 After 14 long years I've finally changed my Nokia E73 to something new. 🙂

Hello, it looks like LineageOs 22.0 from #npjohnson is out 🙂 As always (i mean) updates will be every month. https://updater.oddsolutions.us/devices/pro1/builds So official will be within two months. Maybe will be good to test it and post bugs to npjohnson before official los release because npjohnson is official los developer 🙂 * i will test it within few days

Slightly off-topic: My browser has been flagging this site as insecure for weeks. Could someone please just run 'certbot -renew' once? 🙄

Hello, same as for Pro1 is LineageOs 22.0 from #npjohnson out for Pro1-X🙂 🙂 As always (i mean) updates will be every month. https://updater.oddsolutions.us/devices/pro1x/builds So official will be within two months. Maybe will be good to test it and post bugs to npjohnson before official los release because npjohnson is official los developer 🙂

Thank you Hook for bringing this to my attention. I have now updated all the links in Documentation tab. Everyone should be able to access now.

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 once tried to swap-in the screen assembly of a Pro1-X into a Pro1. They fit mechanically and connector-wise. The result was that the Pro1 was able to boot into a (working) Lineage recovery, but not into the full OS. I thus assumed the selfie camera was different. Of course, the top half of the Pro1(X) includes more than the (touch)screen and camera. There is the indicator LED, the ambient-light photodiode, a speaker and (I guess) a mic for handheld audio. But somehow I had assumed those were analogue devices that could not cause a crash upon boot.

Today I got an email notification from my US based mail forwarder. "You have a new package". I was baffled as I didn't remember having ordered anything recently... To my surprise, when I checked the package photos, there it was. "Sender: FX Technology"... So here I am, another customer who finally has had their phone shipped. Contribution #21XX

The point is that the updates are not incremental. The weekly OTAs each time contain the full ROM, even if changes relative to the previous one are minor or non-existing. The idea behind the a/b partitioning scheme is to keep the previous version of the system intact for backup, while flashing a completely new version of the OS to the respective other slot with every update. This is to make sure one of the slots always contains a working OS, even in case of a bad flash or faulty download.

Lineage-22.2-20250428-NIGHTLY-pro1x with April 5th security patch installed smoothly via OTA. MindTheGapps15, and root was maintained. I think the April 1st dates in previous posts was a typo I kept perpetuating. Lol. So far well behaved, battery-wise. Lost 3% in 2 hours including activity post-update. Edit: Looks good. 7 hours, yes, mostly idle, but has only dropped 10%. That's par for the course given that I have background mail, dropbox ans calander syncing.

Today, I found a solution, for my Pro1, for my situation (Germany). I switch from the network-type: LTE/WCDMA to global. I didn´t change following settings: Wifi-Telefone (off), VoLTE (on) And now, I can hear the call ring 🤗 (LineageOS 22.2)

It's 2025, and I am going to necro the sh1t out of this thread because it confused me a lot ... but helped me getting the touchscreen on my replacement display for my Pro1 to work properly 😁 Essentially, Kaali said it all and provided the correct files. I uploaded translated and modified instructions as a PDF. I don't know why the instructions say to start the GTP Tools directly after installing it, because it just crashed since it can't access the hardware yet. The "fix" are the adb commands, which can also be performed in Termux (as SU) on the phone itself. Set SELinux permissive (

The lineage page is correct. CPU-Z misreports it. I've had Lineage on for a very long time and it works fine. Lineage is currently on Android 15 (Lineage 22) which you will probably not be thrilled by if you don't like Android 11. Android 11 is the earliest Android the Pro1x can take. But yes, you can reinstall stock Android 11 if you don't like Lineage, but you will get no security updates. Make sure you thoroughly investigate the Pro1x's call and text performance on Stock. Lineage will not affect that, either ofr better or worse, so make sure you know what the problems are ahead of t

I've just uploaded build '20250309' of LineageOS 16.0 for OG Pro1 (qx1000) to https://findus.zwergenschaenke.net/~puma/linux.html#lineagepro1 Changes since last release: Backported fixes up to the "February 2025" Android Security Bulletin.

Sorry it wasn't my intention to attack the joke. I did indeed understand it. I am just an middle aged white guy who gets angry about stupid stuff a lot...

So hello 🙂 I have today HW/SW modified Blackberry Passport. Maybe it will be my second device...or device just for fun 🙂 It works relatively good...yess it is old and yess it have only 3gb ram....but good device. It runs LOS 18.1 (A11). I have one question. Passport have on lineage same problem as was on FX (first custom roms) - multipressing keys. Can anyone help me fix it? Will be needed to add something like key press deelay.

I did send a message up the chain and they acknowledged it. But so far, nothing has been done.

I know everyone has had their breath bated: "None of us can sleep until we discover why, oh, why the Backspace won't work in the Pro1x/Exagear/MS Word 97." External Keyboard Helper proves to be the oracle. Installing EKH and selecting that as the on-line keyboard somehow returns the Backspace to all its glory of erasure. I can't even begin to imagine the forum's relief 🙂

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

HMD Global (used to be known of Nokia Android phones) is now trying similar thing what Motorola did with Moto Mods. https://www.hmd.com/en_int/hmd-fusion https://nokiamob.net/2024/09/05/ifa-2024-introducing-the-modular-hmd-fusion/ Maybe we see keyboard mod as well?

I edited my previous post with updated information. Pro1 and Pro1-X are more different than I first thought so you cannot swap parts that easily. I added also the source for the information. Here are few Indiegogo updates: #14 Both the fingerprint sensor and the camera will be redesigned once the samples have been fully tested in the factory. #15 The Fingerprint sensor now has a new module. We’re expecting the performance to be more accurate than the Pro1 and keep you updated once we have a working prototype. #20 Our engineering team in China has had to sta

No we can't, it is a mat, sorry, but you can change what the keys actually return. I have for five years used a Pro1 qwertZ setup for qwertY (as I disliked the shifted qwerty) using FINQWERTY the nice open source work by @Anssi Hannula, and selected a Danish layout. ADD: See below

I agree with your criticism of the Pro1-X's remaining hardware and delivery process. But in these lines you essentially state that you backed a keyboard phone even though you have absolutely no use for a keyboard phone. Of course you have every right to do this. But then do not lateron blame F(x)tec when they indeed ship you a keyboard phone as ordered ...

No no no claude0001, I'm not gonna read this! :)) BTW the psychologist appointment has been canceled - fxtec promised me to send new screen!

Maybe it is. But not because you dislike the screen. Rather because you do like the rest of the phone! Just joking of course ... 😉

Lineage-21-20240826-NIGHTLY-pro1x with Aug 5th security patch installed smoothly via OTA. MindTheGapps14, and root was maintained. One oddity. I don't have any kind of screen lock on the device. Before this update, aside from swiping with my finger, I could press the space bar to dismiss the lock screen. That no longer works. There isn't a setting, so something internal changed. It's annoying since pressing the space bar is easy and really ingrained. I'm also getting yellow triangles about not being secure, so maybe that's connected. FU Google, It's my decision how secure or not

You can use app called Round corners and Hide notch to make the curve of the corner bigger (there are other apps too). It is not a perfect fix since it does not work in the settings or the drop down menu. However, it can help little bit. Maybe with root you are able to make better fix? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=round.screen.corner.hide.notch

You must be new here ... Sorry for the pun, but you'll soon learn that f(x)tec is no ordinary business ... 😄

Until you have it in youre hands allot can happen However i consider myself lucky to get a tracking number I plan to elevate it to a masterpiece on my wall once it arrives. I wil not use it as a smartphone, but as a poignant reminder that no matter how many blunders I make, they'll never quite measure up to the Pro1-X saga.

14 years--that has to be a record! Though I did use 2 paper cups and a string as a phone during my first 8 years on the planet. Never ran out of battery, either 🙂

Of course you shouldn't trust me blindly and verify the signature of the image here: https://download.lineageos.org/verify Still hope this gets resolved normally soon. I don't really want to wipe but could use the camera quite a bit in a couple of weeks.

Finally, upgrade to LOS21 rooted with MindGapps. Very easy to do. All is working fine ! The azerty layout provided directly on LOS21 is perfect ! No missed char ! Even AltGr access char available by the right yellow arrow key ! 😎👌 Next step ... Dual boot to try a Linux distro.
