Can't you just push away the stickers from the back? And the middle hole does not seem to have a sticker on mine (either). My guess would be that their repair plan is to replace the stickers after service, so they could be more 'brutal' removing them, than we would prefer to be. I definitely would try that before messing with the hinge, if/when I need to open one.... 😇

Are you sure? It is with slider in OPENED not closed position. When I look at the image just above the step 3 header, they look VERY aligned

Just being curious. What is behind these two stickers+centre hole? From the positions I would guess access for the lower screws without dismounting the hinge, when in slide open, with a long thin screwdriver

HINT: Clicking the images does nothing, BUT if you right click and select to open in a new tab, you get the images in a much higher resolution. Especially interesting with the (currently) last one where the battery and other stuff are visible.

It seems to be a different battery company you linked. Not the same address and googling I see no relation between "Sunshine" and "Guoxia", and they claim it to be established in 2013 not 2018.

For other users: Also see the discussion over here;

Thanks a lot! I'm disheartened to see that it seems to be a custom battery tailored for the Pro1!! 😱 Searching for GX5036108PLN with various spaces inserted does not seem to lead to anything relevant. So this leaves us with no known alternative source if F(x)tec -for whatever reason- should stop ordering/offering them. Though we now know where it was produced: "Dongguan Guoxia Electronic Technology Co. Ltd", that at the least is known with an address here

Sounds interesting 👍 Did you notice the request in this thread? https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2933-buy-fxtec-pro1-compatible-case

The one you are looking for is the fifth from the bottom just above the one with OTG. But look out for the emergency calls test!

I would gladly help by sending you one, but as shipping from Denmark is pretty absurdly priced, I hope someone else closer by can help you out. It is really easy to modify a shell type of case for "Huawei P20 Pro" , so you could have anyone around you do it. It does not require much. For a soft silicon case, I would say 5-10 minutes with a pair of scissors. I have used the small scissors in a Swiss army knife for the dozen or so I've cut If you got a friend that can do it for you, i have explained it in quite a lot of details and pictures in this post: https://eskerahn.dk/?p=3620

It could be that you last time tried inside a program that tries to interact with the keyboard a little too smart. I think I recall some have reported specific keyboard issues in specific apps - can not recall neither the issues nor the app, sorry. Check the date of the update you got. The last update is from the first week of March and thus quite close to the 6 weeks ago you mention.

Got it in the mail today, and well it is not a good fit, but not hopeless either- with suitable modifications. On the plus side the the two feet on the button side lands perfectly around the fingerprint scanner, and not touching the power button. On the minus side one of the bottom feet sits right over the usb plug, but it will work practically equally well if you cut that one away! The rubber feet are designed for grabbing a thinner phone, but are just put over a 15mm long plastic pin, and can easily be pulled off and then remounted a little further out. Either glued on or remo

@Raksura moved your post quoting the recent letter over to the locked thread here

...That update seems to be delayed.... 😜

Sorry, I accidentally pressed edit not quote, and did not even notice at first. *Silly Me* Tried to post: I bought a fairly cheap one, and it seemed to work for the display - did not try to connect neither a usb-mouse or a larger usb-keyboard though. There is a thread in here on the subject some months old....

Nice, I like that the majority of the image is out of the focus plane. If too much is in focus it easily interferes with what icons that are displayed on top of it.

I too find it a bit odd that the keyboard being the number one selling point for the Pro1, I would have expected the software for it had be giving a lot more care before it hit the streets. On the first for other readers, you are talking the wish for a DEDICATED slash key, it is not that we can not get a slash (Fn+P for qwertY and Fn+7 for qwertZ )

Strictly the FinQwerty is not an active app, it just present a stack of pre-designed layouts for the system to present the user to pick from, If your system is rooted, you can alternatively copy in the relevant files, and will not need the app...

You are doing an awesome job! A suggestion for the cut-outs: Round/smooth the edges a bit, When I look at the lower corners of the usb-cut out, it looks like something that could easily get caught in fabric, of say a pocket. So especially this could be an issue for the cut-outs on the long edge. And in particular slanted edges are needed for the fingerprint reader, for accessing the reader with the finger 'in line' and not 'perpendicular' to the device (e.g. when opened). It might be the resolution of the images but I do not spot holes for the speakers. Can those be done in the print

And the majority seems to be on firefox 🔥🦊 😇

Pros and cons, a lot has to do to usage pattern. If you primarilly are going to use the keyboard on a table and not handheld. Planet's models might be interesting. Search for Cosmo or Astro or Astroslide in this forum. I have listed a few alternatives here (yet to be updated on the Astroslide)

Yes, there are photos earlier in the thread, just search the brandname 🙂 And opviously you are right, prefabricated holes are better, but i have not have any of the many different types of cases i attempted to modify tearing, so I guess the risk is more in theory than a practical problem, none of the cases have been extremely thin though.

Apart from the finger size, another group that could be problematic is people with long nails

Actually the support for hardware keyboard IS part of Android, and has been it 'always', or at the least for very long. BUT it is not optimised for it, as they clearly focus on devices with fake keyboards only. So any fancy features would be needed to by added to android. Though a lot of clipboard and text/page navigation and the like, is as you would expect it in a PC. including task-switching.

Oh indeed, from a user perspective it technically seems be good, but the question is how the code is made, and how much would need to be rewritten. Or perhaps the idea would come at other odd side-effects. we do not think of initially.
