sms/mms work fine on both my Pro1 on stock and Liineage, so hard to say what is not woking

As I said anyone should be free to do it, If and when you would get it back is anyone's guess. On the other hand the fault @Burkhard reported is worse, as it is not just a 'misshaped' corner, that fairly easily can be hidden by software. And as mentioned, I got the fault too, here my daily driver Pro1:

Of course defects are not acceptable... The point is we are talking a company that struggles to even deliver phones to those that have ordered them as well as those that took a IGG perk for one. And for the Pro1X about devices that for some can not even be used as an ordinary phone due to some network stuff (that we still really do not know who affects and who does not) and in THAT context, display issues in the corners should be ranked as "a minor cosmetic blemish". But sure any one affected should feel free to return the phones for a warranty repair/replacement, and for a larger company

Totally agree, that is new to me too.

Allow me to suggest you to launch a new keyboard slider phone, if you know how it should be done, I would certainly be interested in buying... All electronic devices are the result of series of compromises and design decisions, there are no perfect devices. Would I have preferred a slightly lesser flat rectangular screen with protected edges? Sure, but not all would. And with that changed design other things might have followed that I might not have liked. Remember that such a tiny company as FxTec, aren't requesting a display manufacturer to produce exactly what they would find opti

Academically speaking yes it is... But just imagine that fxtec had pre-installed an app giving more rounded corners (maybe hard-coded). Then you would have never noticed that the display-defect existed - but sure it would still be there in principle. If the Pro1/Pro1X were otherwise close to flawless perfection, I could understand the focus on this. But as there are so many different more serious issues I think the wording of @Rob. S. "it's a minor cosmetic blemish," is quite appropriate for this one. ADD: Being polemic one could say that it is a question of poor QC. IF they had no

Well, we COULD hope that the camera module in this - or a later version - is not fixed, so we can have a keyboard back-module, at the cost of an inferior camera

You are quoting a three year old reply - sorry I have zero recollection "The F(x)tec Pro1 is not supported by the current Ubuntu Touch release."

I think that is a crucial thing, that we as users can not easily set/change. IF it was easy to change it would make it too easy for thieves to give a phone a new identity.

I wa under the impression that the persist partiton contained unique information so copying it would sort of making the two devices clones. Interesting if that is NOT the case as we could thus have one available somewhere.

I would expect that the screen plus frame they are selling, are far from the full top half, and thus not includes the front camera.

I would have guessed they were the same, but if so FxTec would now, so I guess they are not when they say so. Have no idea of parts, sorry.

Ah yes, for the elephone ones you should get it without the frame, as it is different. If you can get it with a frame fitting the pro1/prpo1x, that is obviously easier to swap.

As mentioned you could also look for "Elephone U Pro" i think they are more common, and they use the same BOE display.

The screen is identical to the one used by Elephone U Pro. BUT there could be some initialisation issues with setting the size of the touch border, that we are yet to find a solution for. Currently the only way I know of to do it, is to attach it to a pro1 (not pro1X) and re-flash that with stock android, as this process initialise the screen setup also.... (I have not tried this myself yet though) Unfortunately none have (yet?) been able to extract what this precisely does, so it could be replicated directly on a Pro1X So would be great if some had the skills and time to reverse

Oh, that was interesting, have no recollection on that, thanks Found this thread. And this. So indeed it IS possible.

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

That would be my guess too, but strange that that it starts working again though shortly. If you are lucky, it is a cable not locked in the connector and maybe the way holding it can make the cable just get or just loose contact BUT this is a pure guess,

You could start at the thread pinned to the top in the community, where I keep various links like these....

A long shot is that it is a cable that is not firmly in the plug, so if you are to open the upper part with the intend of replacing anyway then try to check that.

AFAIK that is normal

@daniilflyy This is not an optimal place to post support-questions related to non-fxtec phones....

Let my give pinging @npjohnson a try, though it has been a while since I saw him active in here. 😉

I have several Pro1 and Pro1X, and they all got it to some degree, sorry. It is the same screen from Boe used on the Elephone U, and you can find complaints on that too. So though annoying, it would be really lucky to find one without the issues...

I'm sad to say that I fear you are a bit optimistic with the pricing, despite the high costs you had. 😢
