It should be if you have the right part. But even without a new board with a little luck it is 'just' the soldering, so a technichian can resolder the plug on the board.

It sounds to me as you need to contact support. 😥 With no dirt, my guess would then be a bad soldering. Luckily the USB-plug is not on the main board, so it should be a rather small operation to change the board.

Indeed. a tiny amount of pocket lint, can make havoc in the wrong place,

It is EXTREMELY slow to actually install the package. The mere download is perhaps two minutes, depending on net and servers. But the install takes well forever.... I will suggest to just take the notification that an update is available, and then download and install it manually - that takes a few minutes through the ADB sideload. Yes less elegant, but MUCH faster. For me the OTA of the V2 over V1 even failed to boot after I waited over an hour, so had to do it manually afterwards anyway, but that could be an initial issue, where it lacked the gapps... i'm not going to attempt an OTA a

I will NOT move the few older posts on the official build into this thread, as moving things older than the OP into a thread make things sort of a mess, as the OP then appear as an answer..... But will try to remember to move the newer ones in here.

Thanks. Is there an 'officially signed' version of the gapps package we should use, or should we just ignore the warning?

Thanks. I get this after flashing trying to run the usual "adb reboot recovery" though: error: device unauthorized. This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong. The suggested kill server does not help. (I can manually reboot to recovery from the menu though) It then complains about the signature of the gapps-package, but I am allowed to overwrite that. (Same for adb reboot) But overall it installed gracefully and preserved my user data. 🙂

They are rather glossy, so not something I can recommend 😕

I think they already made something like that: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pro1

If you can easily press it down, but it just pops up again, I think adhesive is a very likely guess. If on the other hand something prevents it from being pressed down easily, something more severe could be the reason.

As far as I know the keyboard foil is mounted with heat and&or adhesive, so my GUESS would be that your specimen had had this foil mounted with a little too low amount of adhesive and/or is placed ever so slightly wrong with a bit of tension in the foil, that then popped up due to the bump. I would try gently heating with a heat-gun (or hair drier) to attempt to make the adhesive more liquid, so the keyboard can be pushed in place. and then let the device cool back to room temperature, and see if it stays in place You could also try contacting support, and hear if they have a bet

I think it would work just fine, and I believe someone in here have actually done it, unless my memory fails me. BUT note that the off centre placement of the USB-plug might make it hard to place in a suitable way, as they most likely will come with a flat cable.

Some good news: The v2 seems just as lean on the battery as the Test22 (This is from the unit without GSM) The dip at the right side is all the install mess described above, but that apart it seems pretty parallel after a few hours sleep.

After a whole hour it finally continued. And failed to boot.... Suggesting me to retry the boot or do a factory reset... The retry failed too... I will try a manual flash, and see if that fixes stuff... That fixed stuff, and it booted (almost) normally except launching the qx1000 install wizard - that I just skipped.

Doing it manually will DEFINITELY be faster that the OTA way. After 20 minutes it is only at around 30% in the "Finalising package installastion" stage... I explicitly omitted it to see how it would handle the update without. Previously I have had the gapps as part of my batch installation previously described in this thread a few times. And I will most likely go back to that, and use the updater for notifying me only....

Oh I let it do the update, it is almost finished with the "Preparing for first boot" stage.... 🙂 If it is still there I will try to boot into recovery and sideload, and see if that fixes it 🙂

Installing V1 over Test 22 without reinstalling the gapps leads to a repeated "Google play services keeps stopping...." ...But the updater fetches the next version as it is supposed to 🙂

Great, then we can eliminate that as a possible reason, thanks.

Oh indeed, but battery charging above 30°C should be avoided if possible. Oblivious it is not a sharp limit. from https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

I have not had it reach the point of booting, but I certainly had it go way beyond 30°C. Both with an aPple S6-, a BB Priv, a Samsung S8- and the Pro1.

Yes I never had wiped moving forwards between your test versions. Only when I tried to move backwards. 🙂

Well please enlighten me on how I was supposed to know you knew what Giteki is? Did F(x)tec or BicCamera tell you when the phones in question were ordered? And the amount? For what I know, these could be old orders too. But sure they might not. I'm not taunting, but a little tired of accusations that seems to be based on assumptions in here.

Well I can not answer the "why", but for all we know they could have had an old order too. And since they are already "Out of stock", it is not that it is in any way in general availability in the Japanese market either. When I checked their web-store on July 11, it was the same. Marked as "in stock", but browsing through the actual stores they were marked as coming at a later day. So if they really had just one for each store it must have sold as hot cakes, as there are none now. And unless I misunderstood something, Giteki is not a matter of a special version, but a mater of test

If the Japanese market (one seller BicCamera) ever had it, how many did they get? 1?, 2?

Sorry for being unclear. Indeed use plugged in. BUT charge the phone before starting the navigation. This way the battery is 'idle' at 100% during navigation, and thus any heating affects the battery less. Worst case is: Quick charge heating the device and battery Heavy usage of the phone, heating the device and battery (And if placed at a hot place it is even worse) LiIon batteries generally dislikes being charged while the temperature is above about 30 deg Celscius. It shortens the overall lifespan of the battery.
