  1. ...indeed, it has been a very very long time since any of the big players offered a phone with a proper keyboard.
  2. AFAIK the most likely to be damaged is the cable to the fingerprint reader, at the initial opening of the lower half.
  3. There are a number of launchers that support landscape mode, and personally I like the very simple one they made for the Pro1 (not pro1X) the best, as I like the (IMHO) ingenious idea of splitting the roughly 2:1 desktop in halves and rotate them individually, that is left<->top and right<->bottom with minimal stretch or compression of the icons. The flip-side of the split approach is that you can not have a widget spanning that centre line, and if you got a large widget, that could make it useless. A few launchers offers completely independent layouts for landscape and por
  4. Even in the most optimistic scenario I do not think the Pro1X would have been as good as the Pro1 after they got swindled of the chips. But I do believe they could have been able to deliver something like what people finally got a lot faster AND with some money left for bug-fixing software, to the extend that could have remedied some of the issues. Also there might have been resources to dig into why the Pro1X for some works OK, and for others not at all network-wise, using the same bands. I still have a suspicion that there is a some variation in how different network equipment used b
  5. You are not alone with the frustration. But you might look at it in a different way. It is a minor miracle that they even managed to send people something at all! It is amazing that they did not give up years ago and folded. They really deserved kudos for their fighting spirit. The Pro1X was indeed rushed, As they had to do almost a completely new phone. Originally it should have been a super easy task of them producing more of the existing Pro1, with tiny adjustments, and practically no (further) development costs. This should have earned them some money. Instead they got swindled a

  7. The Pro1 (nor the Pro1X) has never claimed to support 5G,,,, But some frequency bands have been reused by carriers for 5G
  8. Sad and interesting. The ones I got, got black corners, but no change over years of usage.
  9. Yup, it is a known bug, and I have been whining on it for years. I would say that by now that the chance for a change is zero.

  11. Just to be absolutely clear. Let me repeat that we ONLY got this fix using an old Pro1, and NOT the Pro1X. AFAIK, once the patch have been applied using an old Pro1, the display should work on a Pro1X too, but of course it would require a Pro1 to be disassembled and used for the purpose.

  14. I hardly recall, it has been missing for so long.... I reported it fixed here https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3557-lineageos-191-official-release-for-pro1/?tab=comments#comment-61182 But it was broken again later....
  15. Just curious, have they fixed the issue where we could no longer select multiple keyboard layouts to switch between?
  16. But interesting discovery that they aren't really totally black, when looking carefully. Hhere from flashing Linux.

  18. Why necromaningr this ancient thread with what is even strictly incorrect? The link you gave explicitly writes that the "6s 4G Gen 1" is an improved "662", with (at the least) two (minor?) changes: Even if it was totally identical, why should that matter to anyone interested in the Pro1X?

  20. Note that the frame for Elephone U and Pro1 are NOT the same. PS all after https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006442906382.html in the link is just tracking....
  21. Interesting observation! Unless I'm completely mistaken AMOLED does not use backlighting though, so it is likely something with the corner LEDs actually technically emitting light, but (for whatever reason) they does not deliver at the output effect they are supposed to.
  22. I think there is (at the least) one in here, that offers various repair services, but I forgot the name for now. If someone remembers please ping in here.
