I optimistically tried 22.2 again (20250913), still not working VoLTE not supported, 😠
So back on 22.1 - where VoLTE works ☺️

Thank you. Since this post and today, the fxtec.com site no longer allows me access to my order at all! This is a real shame because I cannot use a phone touch screen and really need a real QWERTY keyboard! I do not see how they can just ignore liabilities of unfulfilled orders. I plan to report to my state Attorney General's Office (when I get time!) just to document their malfeasance. They should declare bankruptcy, or have to community file a class-action lawsuit. OK my $900 is gone, but . . .
I wish I had an answer for you for what is going on. I have no idea on how the legal construction/status is, and if any assets are left at all. The fxtec site has for long just redirected to some 'placeholder'-page, but some deep links (including this community) is still kept alive (AFAIK). I have no idea who is paying for them staying alive. I'm not sure if it was this thread or another, but a year or two back, some dug up info on the company from some official British site, and the company was still alive back then.

AFAIK stuff like flex-cables are custom, so highly unlikely to find. Best chance is to find a specimen with another bug and cannibalise it for the needed parts.

There can be some apps that will not work on Lineage - or rather the problem is not really lineage, but that they expect the phone to be locked, to reduce the risk of malware stealing your login.

Spotted a more important bug that could be related with the battery waste as we discussed earlier.
With the same sim in the same phone at the same location, and set for LTE only, here VoLTE works just fine on 22.1, but not at all on 22.2.
So 22.2 CERTAINLY introduced some important bug in handling of carriers and bands (the sim is TDC in Denmark).-

Due to the changes @Hook reported here, I tried upgrading to 22.2 (again).
Will edit this post in some hours with the result....
ADD: And it is completely USELESS!!! Went from 97% to 47% in short of 8 hours. (Idle overnight, as much as possible uninstalled/disabled,,,,)Will go back to 22.1, or maybe stock and just forget aboutLineageOS, that (like the AICP project) seems to have F.. itself up to a useless state...
Went back to 22.1, though over four months old still much newer than Android 9 in stock....,-

I would guess your best chance is to get a faulty unit on e.g. ebay.
Note that the Pro1 and pro1x bottom parts are NOT 100%identical. They had to make some changes for the antenna they said somewhere a very long time ago.
It has been awfully quite from fxtec for a very long time, so my guess would be that an official new one is highly unlikely. -

Which error did you get directly from the laptop. Timeout? I'm going to try with a dock or a hub tomorrow.
I have not tried for a very long time, I just tried to adb reboot fastboot on the one on 22.1 and got a variant of the menu I've never seen before
I can not remember what it used to fail with, maybe it was not until the flashing, OR something has been updated since last i tried....
On the one on stock the same command just reboots back into android. Booting into bootloader, it boots to android as soon as I attach a cable when in a direct port, but works fine in a port on the docking

my Pro1 was emptying the battery to only 50%. Slight improvement, but still to much to use it during the day at work and so on.
Last night I had "Airplane Mode" on and Wifi on too. VoLTE (4G-Anrufe in the phone localized to a German UI) was on.
Could you please test if it make any difference over night, if you turn VoLTE temporarily OFF? Just to test if VoLTE is somehow part of the issue.
(I know turning VoLTE off will not be a solution, for carriers that shut down their 3G services. So just a test) -

Yes, I am able to browse (wifi turned off-- it is actually quite fast) and I was able to take a picture and then text it to my Pixel. The only thing not working at all are calls. It thinks it is calling, says it is calling, but there is no audio feedback for dialing or ringing. The phone part is dead. Don't know why. But, my battery drain is fine, wifi on or off.
Really weird.
OH just retested. VoLTE by this carrier now works! (TEST: selecting LTE as only band, restart, and do a call).
Does yours (clam to) do VoLTE? It could be interesting to turn it OFF/ON. If it for some odd reason relates to the battery bug.
@TeZtdevice do you have VoLTE ON or OFF?-

The aeroplane mode could be worth a try. I might do it, but it will take a bit as I need to first assure that the problem is still there in normal mode. If I recall correctly I tested with mobile data OFF, so an interesting theory if it is related to the ability to make and receive calls.
@Hookcan you use mobile data for say browsing on yours, or is that broken too?
I understand SMS works. Does MMS?
Just to try to narrow down the parts that do NOT work on yours, as the bug must be related to one of those.
PS Note that my provider does NOT offer voice over LTE for this phone model (one of the silly carriers offering on whitelisted devices only)
(I did try with two different carriers here) -
If on stock, use FinQwerty by @Anssi Hannula you can find it in the normal android market.
to handle 1 and 7.
(It really is not a running app as such, but presents the right configuration files for the wanted layouts to system on boot, so we an choose them side be side with the normal ones)
PS Dansk og norsk layout er 99.9% identisk, Æ <-> Ø.-

For me, this is really a mess, because I used the Pro1 as my so called "daily driver" for the past 2,5 years.
Just to be sure, you are on newest 22.2? So that means it is still borked?

Well it is a choice. They COULD have made the update system as a primary version and then a series of deltas. The flipside of that would be that any reinstalls or new installs would require to first load the old full and then maybe scores of updates, installing all in the same partition, and this could be slow. And it would add some extra complexity in generating and applying the deltas. It is much simpler to just have a source that builds a total, and then distribute that, despite the extra traffic, and slower installs than the delta could have given, if it started by making a copy of the running partition and then applied the delta.

If you get the 8GB number, factory reset. I believe that corrects the problem. It happens from time to time, but not often, as I recall. It's always a good idea to check after flashing.
I do not think I done a stock flash, that did NOT have this memory issue, so would strongly suggest to either always do the reset, or at the least make a check, part of the installation procedure

I'm still waiting and checking in here occasionally. Not that I could really make use of the phone at this point, but I'd still like to have what I paid for.
Sadly I highly doubt that more will ever be produced, nor that they have any left to send out.
Though they in theory might make a new one I highly doubt it will ever happen - frankly I'm positively surprised that this community site is still kept alive.-

Have ANY web orders been filled that you are aware of? Thanks.
Well it depends a bit on what you mean. Originally yes,, I for one bought a Pro1 ages back, and got it in 2019. but I have no idea when a weborder was last sent out,

...Ah well I took the chance and 'up'graded...
lineage-22.2-20250621-nightly-pro1-signed.zip on June 1 security patch installed smoothly using adb sideload and MindTheGapps-15.0.0-arm64-20250214_082511)
And we still can only select one keyboard layout, so no easy layout switching, for multilingual usage.
Will report back in some hours if it seems to have become usable....
ADD:
From 94% to 23% in 11hours, so 6½% per hour, so still completely useless!
Oh well back to 22.1 it is...😠-

I see a LOT of changes for the 20250614, including something with network callback.
The 20250621 seems to contain only minor changes, And 202506207 does not look related.
Anyone tried either release and see if they make Lineage usable again on a Pro1?-

Thanks Hook, for the info and the link. And EskeRahn, for a ray of hope. I'm embarrassed to say that I've not learn to connect my phone to my laptop to be able to see the content on the phone. I need to transfer my data before doing a factory reset. is that possible?
In theory I think yes, but in practise very hard without seeing the display.
One option could be to copy the content of the entire user partition, but again some interaction with the phone might be needed.
If you have allowed google to take backup, at the least some data is saved. And if you allowed google to stea...erhm STORE your pictures, they will be saved in the cloud too, maybe in poor resolution though.
But start booting it to bootloader. If you see a menu, it is software 'only', so you would know that you are unlikely to need a new display.

EskeRahn, I quickly glanced at the post about screen replacement and saw that CornholioGSM is located in the EU. I'm in NYC. So probably not feasible. When I press the on button today there was a flash of the wall paper intact and then black again.
Hmm this might actually be good news, as this sounds more like a software bug than a hardware bug. Can it boot into bootloader-mode showing the menu?
If so a factory reset is most likely the way to go, and if that does not do the trick a full reflash to factory mode. (follow the first post on the forum) -
If you are 'lucky' it is 'just' the display, though that it not something you just go and buy a new around the corner, it is possible to replace for many with a little tech knowledge. If I recall correctly @CornholioGSM has offered the service of swapping for some price. so if that still holds and depending on your location, that might be an interesting option.

nothing constructive to add but i just wanted to say thanks
i use my pro1 as my daily driver with VZW and would've hated to have to go through downgrading to a version that doesn't have battery problems.
It does not seem to be everyone that gets this bug, but the risk is clearly there.

Did you try with an OLD computer or one on Linux? As I explained usb-3 under windows can be problematic.
If no data-communication at all can be established there could be an electric problem, e.g. dirt in the plug, or a plug that has gone partly loose
LineageOS 22.x Official Release for Pro1 (QX1000)

I previously tried to report a bug - and frankly I do not want to to try that again.
With neither calls on 4G nor multilingual keyboard working, and combined with ridiculous stamina, It is unusable as a daily driver for me anyway. for 22.1 it is only the keyboard that is messed up. And has been since perhaps 20.1 or even older.
So more reporting the state here so others do not waste their time with it, than actually expecting anyone that can fix it to read it here,
