Remember we can not deduce ANYTHING directly from the order number. The order number had an impact on the order we got the payment mails, but they clearly stated that they used the order of payment for ordering. Some was very fast to pay, and others took hours, days or weeks.... So that way some very fast could have gotten in front of me with a higher number, and likewise I might have gotten in front of some with a lower number slower to pay than my five minutes.

Well that you got that mail does not have to mean you will get the phone before them. We have no idea on how the mails for the ones allocated to the second batch is distributed.

Very clever... 😜 ...Sorry, have no equipment to measure that, but clearly (ho ho), brighter than the one on a Samsung S8-

Thanks! Though sad news this is good to see. 😎 Let us hope this is a new approach they will use in the future if they should be so unlucky as to be hit by further obstacles&delays. I hope Erik will update his thread with this Info too.

But you would expose very large parts of the device while doing so, both top and bottom side of the upper part, and the top of the lower part... A flip case could to SOME extent protect it from wind when opened see this, but I think it would be cooled down really quickly, in just slight side wind, simply being two rather thin parts, and thus a high surface to mass ratio. But at the least the display is not LCD. I would expect LED types to handle frost better - haven't tested it though. Generally Li-Ion batteries really dislikes hard cold. So It MIGHT be worth a try with a powerbank t

Tried to split some derived questions/dialogue over in this thread: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2048-various-questions-to-the-pro1-not-yet-answered/?do=findComment&comment=35147

We are getting even further off topic -sigh- but it is a very versatile tool, though it is far from perfect, and not all updates have been improvements (e.g. hiding "Reply" in landscape under Ellipsis, Send, Reply.... Wonder if they were eating mushrooms to come up with that idea? 🤪 - But you do got Ctrl+A and Ctrl+R with a real keyboard...)

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.
