WHAT! That sounds like pure Heresy! 😇

It is in the standard android market https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aws.apps.keyeventdisplay

You could try to install "KeyEvent Display" and see if any of the problematic keys has any reaction what so ever..... (Note that Enter is interpreted by the App as Select, but you should see it doing something if the key is working)

Sorry, does not work by a simple side load - but it does VERY much sound like a hardware issue.. Assuming you have tried a simple reboot, you could try a factory reset, but the chances that it will help are slim.

Yes, was unaware that you were on Lineage. That package has not been moved over - not sure if it will run under Lineage. Just a sec.

The standard first guess is to try a different cable or port, or perhaps a different driver on the pc.

How sad. You should contact support@fxtec.com (this is a user to user forum. AFAIK their office is near Baker Street St. But I do not know where they do service.)

Sounds like a hardware issue...😥 ADD: The below is for stock Android not e.g. LineageOS First go to Settings►System, Languages►Physical keyboard►Physical keyboard►Set up keyboard layouts, and de-select ANY selected. OR if you are using FinQWERTY you could also just select "FinQWERTY None (stock)" If QWERTZ ignore that the print is now wrong, we want to test hardware keys(!) Then try the factory test described here it is number seven on the list. Please note that the Esc-key has changed in later OTAs compared to this test , so not lighting up does not mean it is broke

....I can not help the feeling that you might have put more time into developing software for the Pro1 since autumn than Idealte....

it said 4-6 weeks for a long time, but was then edited. But sure it might not be up to date. But one week that sounds like pure shipping so my guess would be they pulled two from some spares they set aside for service-replacements. I would not be at all surprised if they got substantially lower serial numbers than the first you got. But guessing....

I'm not sure, but it sounds to me like they given the rest of your order a special high priority treatment, since they made an error initially. The order page currently says "Shipping worldwide in 10-12 weeks." so I guess they got a bit to go.

Using the paid version of the full all-in-one toolbox. But please note the granted permission (see hints in the link above), and the markers for plug etc are optional but default not on.

In Privacy Guard, Ellipsis (top right), Advanced you can select an app and select to allow&disallow stuff, but I do not see network access on the list?

Just a wild guess, You haven't by any chance something limiting the network access that need an explicit open? I use "Netguard", more advanced options are available if rooted. But sometimes I forget to poke a hole when an app usually not needing net-access for what ever reason does need it for other purposes than stealing our data.

It comes with a touch-margin feature build in, but that wont help you here.

There are tools out there that can make black borders of the size you wish. If I recall right, one is called "Edge Null". They do require a rather high level of privileges though.

I'm not sure if you heard about it, but there has been some kind of flu affecting a few people since, But F(X)tec are getting closer to getting trough the stacks of old pre-orders. They had reached 70% about the time you gave up. I do not know if new orders pour in at a faster or slower pace than the production has picked up.

3C Battery Manager, also part of 3C all-in-one tool. Also see some hints on this here

I tried several different gallery apps, that all worked in landscape also. None of them had any specific hardware keyboard usage I'm aware of (some respect arrow keys and Enter/Esc). So you could use just about any you can find, with a functionality that suits you the best. Personally I have used QuickPic for a decade, but it is more for the way the editor works than it is related to the Pro1 specifically. Especially I like that it is so super easy to down-sample and/or crop for MMS/web usage. Others have thing close to similar, but I keep going back to QuickPic. BTW a change in qp a year or t

On my ancient slider devices i also loved lock on close. I'm not sure that would be good in 2020 though, with all the newer loussy apps not (or poorly) supporting landscape, where it feels natural to slide in to use. Then it should be something advanced where it locked after close if not 'immediately' turned 90° or some other fancy rule... Talking wishes here. What about something automatically switching to split mode when a loussy app tries to force to portrait?

Optimally with an option allowing the screen to time out, but without locking.

Would like that too

I agree, it is rubbing salt into the wound of lacking updates... I Stop the two "Wireless Update" processes manually after check, so I only see the notifications after boot.

Also note that it make things a lot easier if you insert/remove the tray with the screen facing downwards 🙃

I think it all comes down to one simple thing: A small company with very few people, that have to be everywhere doing everything 24x7x52... But SURE it is annoying that refunds are not a simple online operation - but as they explained to us before the UK bank got a special requirement for a director to physically visit the bank to do so. And that is a LOT of expensive time wasted for a CEO, so I guess they try to collect a bunch before going - and (hopefully) refund requests are rare....
