It is a principal issue with this mechanism, as it was on the Nokias, that it is NOT intuitive to use. BUT the gain once learned is the tilted display and a mechanism less prone to pocket lint, dog hairs or the like messing the rails up. AND that we are not required to use two thumbs to provide an even push, as the mechanism is a more stable and simple construction mechanically.

Well the faking publi votes public oting stopped yesterday. Things should be make public tomorrow - and I doubt the Pro1 will be even mentioned... 😥

a PS to the Above. IMHO F(x)tec SHOULD have done a better job telling that it is NOT an intuitive push that opens the device. Some drawings in the small user guide, and/or links to videos of better quality than mine.

...If you are an old Nokia user that still got the muscle memory you just open it, without even knowing that you did something complex.

Yes I'm biased, as I have waiting for this for years. And wish them all the luck they can get to increase the chance of a successor. The opening is quite simlar to the old Nokias with the same mechanism. N97, N97Mini, E7, N950 and others. But it is NOT the same plain slide as the various SE Xperia Pros nor the Moto Droids. So what matters is what you have used before. On the reach. I can ALMOST but not completely reach fully with one hand and secure grip on e.g. a Samsung S8- or a Iphone S6-, Yet I have zero problems reaching well beyond half the keyboard with either thumb. It is muc

I repeat myself here, it is like riding a bike. Difficult at first, but once your body got it, you can not understand how you ever found it complicated. See this.

The job of your local fire brigade is to extinguish fires. Yet you will be wasting their time if you ask them to extinguish a candle, that you could easily blow out yourself.

This is a very minor update fixing a keyboard issue, so highly doubt it affects anything that deep. I Was wrong, @zurvan2 checked.

Nokia have made many odd things, but nothing THAT useless to my knowledge...

Usually he has some test-versions before releasing a new version, but there could be a delay between what he releases and what you see on the Android Market. I have had several cases where the same app is not available at the same time on two or more devices on search for updates. Even the same model on the same net. Usually levels out in hours.

I do not know where the LANGUAGE definitions are though?? Anyone that can supply any input here? Especially the "German" that should be used for the qwertZ print. (If FinQwerty is not used)

Yes, and please note if not using FinQwerty but the default driver for the qwertY layout, you should NOT select "US", but DE-select all tick-boxes. A bit counter-intuitive, I know. And this also means the symbols on the digits needs Fn (i.e. yellow arrow) rather than shift - and that is counter-intuitive too. ADD: Notice the slightly odd "None" offered by FinQwerty, the purpose of that is to offer the exact same thing as no tick-boxes selected. BUT this can be combined if you use more than one language.

You do not need root to get to the files, but as normal users we are not able to overwrite/edit them (without root). /system/usr/keylayout and I think vendor_181d_product_5018_version_0001.kl /system/usr/keychars and I think vendor_181d_product_5018_version_0001.kcm (the .kl file is a 100% copy of the generic generic.kl , unused entries not removed) Vendor_181d_Product_5018_Version_0001.kl Vendor_181d_Product_5018_Version_0001.kcm

The problem would be the 'all' here, as there (for obvious reasons) are moveable parts in this device. Even if you are able to cover the whole thing in thin film, the hinge mechanism is not likely to be watertight.

The first question you will get from a CC company filling a claim, is if you have asked the company for a refund, and what the response was. And unless you want to lie to them, they are not going to waste their time on a case before you have asked for a refund yourself.

Glad you got it working, but sad to hear that it should be especially vulnerable 😥

Short cuts works, and are set up, from the home screen. Press the Logo F key, and do as described above. Just tested, works fine.

Had it been mine, I would open it and see how easy it is to disconnect the battery. But I'm a technician, If you are not familiar with electronics, have someone that are do it, and as @VaZso said, the faster the better, especially if there is a risk of salt or other minerals in the water. If the water is clean disconnecting is not a must, though still recommendable. My next step would be to see if I by a lucky chance could get to the water, and remove some of it with say a cotton pin, or e.g. a corner of a piece of toilet paper. But again it is delicate business, so important you know wha

Also combined with LIGHT heating (say 40-45 degrees) could help get the moisture from the phone to the rice.

A single water drop that comes in the wrong place can cause havoc on any device though of course very unlikely. If you were unlucky and the snow was contaminated with salt from the road, it can have caused more problems than pure water by itself. I have used the device in very mild rain (took an incoming call), so it not just the first water drop it sees that kills it.

On 2, that is in the launcher. Press and hold any blank space on the home screen, Select Home settings Select Keyboard Shortcuts

Well others clearly use better voting robots, there is a factor of ten to the number one now....

Nice. I'm (among other cables) still awaiting this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362332003394 And I hope it will be slightly more compact. The images/rendering are not that clear on the size, but it looks very compact.

Yes. That is the difference between real life and advertising images. 😇
