I think you should go for human-heating, a.k.a. a pocket for the heating. While using you would need to expose large areas of it anyway, so would only be useful while not actively using it. This is not a device you would use exposed actively in say minus 40 degrees. But could of course (like any other smartphone) be used via a headset and some voice controlled stuff while in a pocket.

Great news! It should be the second larger one according to first section of this https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2461-pro1-pre-orders-updates/?do=findComment&comment=34883

You can quickly make a temporary one from a "Huawei Pro P20" or "Samsung Note 7" case, see the newer pages of this

Nice!. I think it could be difficult to make a hard shell with a good grip, due to the slightly conic shape, and very very little space for it to grip on the top, without affecting the slider. The best fit I found (yet) is an elastic shell for "Huawei P20 Pro", but "Samsung Note7" is also quite close, (of course with the need for modified cut-outs). See links earlier. You might buy one or more of those (they are cheap from about £1-2) to measure and experiment with. One thing that ought to be changed for a better fit is to shape it handling that the base of the Pro1 is slightly cur

Yes, yes and yes. We should split this into some generic questions to the pro1 thread, I will see if I can find a good place.

Feel the same way, there are a few things that could have been better with keyboard, but not that much touch needed in the K9 I use, so would hardly bother using one they provided, unless it was extremely good..

AFAIK Android is unchanged as such, there is the replaced launcher and an addition in settings for the Slider. There might be other settings adjustments/enhancements. But generally it should be very very close to stock Android. At an initial stage they were talking about adding some apps, including email. Those are not currently there. Whether they gave up on the idea completely, or just postponed the development as less important initially, I do not know. I for one havn't missed them...

I did a macro shot to show how close it goes: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2498-slow-motion-video/?do=findComment&comment=34777 (Not exactly an interesting motive or anything)

Or all the dots we see in the image, are them testing the flash LED of the next batch of Pro1... 😂

An interesting question. But remember that under any F(x)tec modifications for the Pro1 are some code for supporting the hardware, and THAT might well be protected by some copyrights, so it might not be up to F(x)tec to disclose the source, no matter if they would like to do so or not....

It seems awfully fast yes, but maybe this is synthetic by changing some other parameters. I tried to put it right next to a large LED-pane in my ceiling, turned to max, requesting -2EV at ISO 800, And It actually gave me something not just 'white' but dim. But could be synthetic, by darkening the 'real' image captured. I do not know.

Let me join the thanks. Especially to @Waxberry and all the crew for giving us what I have been waiting for, for so many years. But also thank you to the community for all the -mostly- sensible input, to keep this an informative and fun place. and for reporting on the spammers to keep things clean. I hope you all soon will get your devices too, and will help tracking down the last bugs when you do, so the Pro1 can become even better. And maybe even with some user requested features added.

Well I think the problem lies with the driver for the camera. but if that is FxTec or someone else I do not know. For the narcissistic camera we CAN get very dark images in manual mode, but some automation is kicking in here also, though I'm not exactly sure how. And attempts that would require longer exposures than 1/7 s are truncated to 1/7 s (for the front, 1/8 for the rear) Here is a table of the used exposure times for the 12 images you see in the collage above, and except for Iso 800 and +2EV it looks well: Odd (And even for Iso800 it is not entirely OK, as +2EV should h

They already supports the Pro1 http://android.onse.fi/finqwerty/pro1.html So it definitely would be a nice option to have. 🙂

Nice, and interestingly the copy of frames is good for the compression, so the resulting video is not huge. 0:20 in it does look a bit odd in the border between the display and the keys. So this only works when things are not moving fast, But could still be used to see details of fluid motion

As I understand it, This is allowed for tablets & PCs, but not for phones&phablets. Yes I know, this does not make any sense! But neither does their lacking landscape support of the homepage grid on a phone&phablet. Must be some strange 'political' decision some crazed cheif UI architecht had made at some point, trying to force us to use our devices not like we prefer but as he in his dictatorial mind wishes.... Google's variant of aPple's "You are holding it wrong"...

Please note that we (oddly) are (still?) allowed to do this through ADB. I use this to clean up a Samsung S8- somewhat, see this.

Craig, you are TOTALLY wrong, he NEVER said he was willing to pay $3k, he said he was willing to pay OVER $3k.... 🤪

Interesting idea, but in principle that would only be a further level or security, or a complication, as you previous method could be used twice. Of course that is a serious complication so would certainly make it more secure. But from an academic standpoint it is not. But talking academic it would most likely be easier to open the phone and insert something that logs every display and touch,

That was god news! Thanks.

Yes but we started in the last millenium, so then we would have ended in version 102.1 ...

We had a similar system with some database-system once, bumping the major version every year. We got to version 19.1 in 2002 (still using that version, most likely the last user!)

Please do not try to here repeat the extremely long thread on their communication of estimates that did not hold.

Touché 😁 Glad I wrote "consider".

There might be, but sort of would be sad if people that had that much money to waste did not use them for some better stuff like charity. (Splitting sticks 20 would be a digit behind, in front could be a 1 to 12)
