I tried to do that here https://eskerahn.dk/?p=4539 Pocket is certainly more pocketable, But many apps struggles with the quadratic form-factor. Better apps supports both portrait and landscape screens, but the quadratic often causes trouble - it is so rare that it might not have been tested at all. Try e.g. the Android market for updating apps. Google splashes some silly gibberish, urging people to waste battery with automatic updates in the major part of the display, that can not be dismissed, leaving practically nothing to the updates...

I think the big differences are 1) They keep the ambitions low, no supposedly high end devices. 2) They take all the risk of development and have the devices ready for production before they launch a 'campaign', so they have a pretty accurate estimate of the production costs, and only have to order the number perked for. They might even have already ordered an amount they feel quite certain to reach, say 1000, before launching the campaign. This gives very good user feed back for fast delivery. But obviously is a chance UniHertz takes.

He he, if we the few still interested in phones with real keyboard does not buy them, it is even less likely that new ones will be launched... It's like the need for supporting a local grocery even with higher prices when you live outside urban areas. If you do not, it will die.

I only bought the pocket to have it, never used it. Similar with the Titan. Both bought in a mixture of curiosity, and support of someone still making phones with a keyboard, and with the thought of it being a possible temporary backup, should the primary phone fail. Did not buy the ones from Planet due to the elevated price-point and the size. I did consider buying the Astro out of pure curiosity on how good/bad this special slider-mechanism is in reality. But was too stingy, and now it is closed.

I have NOT had the similar on the Pocket. My GUESS is that it is the same principal reason as on the Pro1X, and is related to the Android version, and 'something' has to be done in a particular way to NOT have the connection cut. But glad to hear you do not see it, so it is not a general bug, only something that occur in particular circumstances. Note that I was on WiFi ONLY, with no sim inserted. Can you see in your network data usage if it perhaps switched to mobile briefly to fill any 'gaps'?

@jakfish, have a solution for the unstable WiFi be found? Is it a limitation that only some routers or channels are supported? When I duck it up and let it do the almost hundred waiting updates, I think it could update two or three apps between each time I needed to turn WiFi off/on and reselect the apps for update. (Less than 1m from the router, and the phone says the signal is excellent). I tried to activate the Netguard app, and that helped substantially and got me up to about 10 apps. And no it is NOT that it goes into some power-save or lock-screen, I deliberately moved the fi

(I took the liberty to merge this with an old thread on the subject)

The thing is that though the functionality is similar, it is not the native phone that supports a standard hdmi over usb-C. This is an app that does all the work, and sends data out through the usb to a specialised unit in the cable creating a hdmi-signal. The principal difference is whether the chipset/phone itself does this, and any standard usb micro-docking or simple dongle can be used, or it is a generic software solution that works on 'any' phone with an usb-c port. I do not know any details on how a standard hdmi over usb-C works (did not read this: https://www.hdmi.org/spec/t

Sad, but it certainly feels so.

(Had not checked for update for almost a year... No new update, but the battery still at 72%, not bad at all after a year. Google had a zillion apps/update waiting *LOL*)

necromancy is fine by me, when relevant 🙂 I must admit, it has been in some drawer for very very long. I better try to find it and recharge it, to check for any updates.... 😇

It is a known issue that it is quite picky on especially fastboot. Often a USB2-port works better. For me it does not work directly on any port on the laptop, but I got a Thunderbolt docking, and it works fine connecting to a USB3 port on that...

Indeed, as I do both, that could be the explanation why I have not seen it on any of the devices.

This might also explain why some sees it and some does not. If there is a slight variation in the length or mount of the black cable between various batches this could mean that the shorter ones go under the plastic just fine, but the longer ones have a slight curve that are pushed on unevenly. A fraction of a millimetre could be enough...

I guess we all share that frustration, as they sadly do not publish anything. So we are left at guessing on what the H.. is going on.

If you answer Yes it flashes correctly but we get an (incorrect) message on the PC that it failed:

I bet it is even more complex, as the conversion of the old Pro1 orders to Pro1X most likely are not forseen. Not that this excuses the lacking refunds.

They certainly are obliged to pay cancelled pre-orders back, but I do not know in what order they are required to serve their obligations.

The problem here is with the lacking info we are left to guessing. Even if your theory is correct, I highly doubt they are financing any new device themselves, so they can not just take the money someone invested in another product/project and use for us. At the most they can use of their part of the revenue for us, or from any money someone might invest in (or donate to) FxTec as a company.

I doubt that "forgot" is the right word here, but certainly very annoying that they do not post an update on IGG on what has been going on since their June-update 2½ months ago....

Will try to remember to answer Yes on Monday for the Pro1, and see if they implemented a fix. If you run each command individually on the pc it might work, ignoring any message on the pc that the flashing did not end correctly.
