That definitely should have been on my list of options too, though that as @Rob. S. pointed out, limits widgets to square-grid usage

Though I like the versatility of Nova, I find that it really stinks in assuming the same grid layout in 1:2 portrait and 2:1 landscape. Here the stock launcher solution of seeing it as two (roughly) equally sized blocks, seems like a much more clever solution. A few launchers offers more or less independent layouts. That obviously has a lot of benefits, but means you will need to set things up twice. But most launchers (including Nova) that at all handles landscape take the lazy route of just squeezing and stretching the grid - apart from looking horrible, it also makes widgets more or less us

Sad, thought those bugs were ironed out. But thanks for reporting. Let us hope they are reading @Erik @Waxberry The fix is to use FinQwerty and select "German for physical qwertZ".

That is odd, I have not seen that on stock for long, but I do get it for the newer iterations of LineageOS unfortunately

Postal services being too lazy to actually deliver, and coming up with a false excuse is unfortunately not limited to FedEx. I have had several others do the same over the years here in Denmark. Usually they then dump it at some pick-up point they find suitable, that can be 10Km away. A couple of times I even had it delivered at a small island, as this was the geographically closest pick-up point - if you are Jesus or a bird....

Sound very plausible, let us hope some with deeper knowledge on Android reads this and can come up with a hint. Otherwise it seems almost certain that a factory restore would fix it, but that is of course rather tedious.

Maybe Lineage is the way to go for you? These guys seems VERY attentive to suggestions that can fix bugs. Have a look in this thread:

Glad to hear. Though we (now) know that you did not need to take the hinges apart in the first place. So will be easier for the next one that needs to open it. 😉

Yes, most people have the intuitive - but wrong - perception that disabling a process also stops it. You need to explicitly stop a process after disabling it. see e.g. this

Yes, sound like a factory reset would be a drastic measure. Let us hope that the restart following a future software upgrade might de the trick. Just a thought/guess. When you killed a lot of apps and reinserted the headphones, did that start/wake any additional process? If so killing that and clearing its cache&data might be worth at try.

Can you record/play sound? That is, is it 'limited' to calls? If so I would try to force stop and clear the data of the phone app, and see if it solves it. Does a SIM from a different carrier change anything?

You might also try killing stuff running that does not have to run. Settings, System, Advanced, Developer options (*), Running Services. (*) If yo do not see "Develop options", go to Settings, System, About phone, Click Build numerous times. Here is what I usually leave running:

It is clearly a software bug somehow. Note how the icon appears (but quickly disappears again) when you plug in. So I would say that it is extremely likely that a factory restore would fix it. BUT before walking that route, you might want to see if there could be any app installed that somehow could be affiliated, that it might be worth trying to uninstall (temporarily). Making a backup of everything can be quite tedious, and restoring everything might reintroduce the bug, as we have no clue where it is... I tried googling to see if someone has the similar problem on other hardware,

Well those that do not find a hardware keyboard essential (or at the least very important), would never even dream of looking at this, so comparing it with things without a real keyboard really does not make much sense. This is a niche product. For a mass product selling in the millions the development cost distributed per unit is negligible, but for a niche product it is a totally different story. We know from other threads (custom declarations) that the raw hardware price per unit produced is around $300 (Again: low quantities gives high prices), and that is BEFORE adding the heavy

Thanks, moved to the closed info-thread.

Yes it is purely cosmetic only, and can easily be hidden with a cover (or film). I also noticed at the lower end on the last photo that it seems like a patch have been 'worn-off' too. So though sad, at the least nice to know that it seems rather easy to scuff.

Interesting to see that the back gets scuffed that easily 🤢 But thanks for sharing 👍. Glad I got mine in a shell (well flip case, but the back is protected all the same)

How odd! It takes less than 1 sec here. (different headset though)

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
