    Just to add that this is something of a good sign, as this is how it behaves if I do it on a working Pro1X. But as it does not display a splash screen also in the loop, I agree with others that it is most likely a display issue.

    You can select in settings a layout matching the physical keyboard the phone has. Settings►System►Language and input►Physical Keyboard►Fxtec Pro1 (and yes it should have said Pro1X) If you want something not standard have a look at FinQwerty by @Anssi Hannula that is in the normal store. You can see the various layouts offered here https://android.onse.fi/finqwerty/#pro1x (it is open source so you can even tinker with stuff yourself) It is a loader of layout files to the system, and not an app that will be running as such.

    (you can switch off google's automatic waste of bandwidth aka 'updates', though it is hidden deep in setting in the app, and by default is turned on - I guess the purpose is so stealing our data is less obvious among the constant traffic.... Oh and note even when you switch it off they turn it on themselves, so you have to do it repeatedly - bloody crooks...)

    (lineage-21.0-20241012-nightly-pro1-signed.zip on September 5 security patch installed smoothly (*) using adb sideload and MindTheGapps-14.0.0-arm64-20231025_234300) And we still can only select one keyboard layout, so no easy layout switching, for multilingual usage.

    ...And just for being clear, this has to be done while it is constantly being connected to some power supply.

    (The variant with frame is sold out.... )

    5³=125? but not much that either.

    PS I updated a quite old release, from about three months ago, and it took quite a while but did not ask for factory reset or anything like that.

    Nope, the red line is for ilustration only. The QuickStep for the Pro1 has this clever function build in as default.

    Here a sketch

    Well on the Pro1X ii get something similar to what hook showed above, oddly stretched/squeezed
  14. EskeRahn
    Swiftbackup is a likely reason 🙂 I miss the function of it rotation the two halves on Pro1X
  15. EskeRahn
    AFAIK the QuickStep apk from the Pro1 does NOT work on the Pro1X. If you got it working I would certainly be interested in how.
  16. EskeRahn
    On the Pro1X i've seen the launcher freeze for maybe 2-3 seconds, but never with QuickStep on the Pro1. Note that "QuickStep" and the icon is used for more than one launcher!! The one that comes with the Pro1 is very simple BUT have the IMHO ingenious detail of grouping in two halves and rotating independently, making it VERY suitable for switching between landscape and portrait in modern more or less 2:1 phones. It is the ONLY launcher I've seen that does a good job at that at all!!! For others it either looks like sh... in one direction OR you have to manually handle what icons y
  17. EskeRahn
    Could be. I would start with any app that requires the phone to be rooted, A normal dumb app should not be able to freeze the phone that long, AFAIK. But with sufficient privileged granted, it might. Also look for any "accessibility" apps as this is sort of a light rooting....

    Another common issue is the pc being too NEW, as it typically is easier to get fastboot working with usb 2 than usb 3 on a windows pc- though it can work with usb3 also. Fastlboot is rather picky with windows, but seems to be less picky under linux

    sms/mms work fine on both my Pro1 on stock and Liineage, so hard to say what is not woking
  20. EskeRahn
    As I said anyone should be free to do it, If and when you would get it back is anyone's guess. On the other hand the fault @Burkhard reported is worse, as it is not just a 'misshaped' corner, that fairly easily can be hidden by software. And as mentioned, I got the fault too, here my daily driver Pro1:
  21. EskeRahn
    Of course defects are not acceptable... The point is we are talking a company that struggles to even deliver phones to those that have ordered them as well as those that took a IGG perk for one. And for the Pro1X about devices that for some can not even be used as an ordinary phone due to some network stuff (that we still really do not know who affects and who does not) and in THAT context, display issues in the corners should be ranked as "a minor cosmetic blemish". But sure any one affected should feel free to return the phones for a warranty repair/replacement, and for a larger company
  22. EskeRahn
    Totally agree, that is new to me too.
  23. EskeRahn
    Allow me to suggest you to launch a new keyboard slider phone, if you know how it should be done, I would certainly be interested in buying... All electronic devices are the result of series of compromises and design decisions, there are no perfect devices. Would I have preferred a slightly lesser flat rectangular screen with protected edges? Sure, but not all would. And with that changed design other things might have followed that I might not have liked. Remember that such a tiny company as FxTec, aren't requesting a display manufacturer to produce exactly what they would find opti
  24. EskeRahn
    Academically speaking yes it is... But just imagine that fxtec had pre-installed an app giving more rounded corners (maybe hard-coded). Then you would have never noticed that the display-defect existed - but sure it would still be there in principle. If the Pro1/Pro1X were otherwise close to flawless perfection, I could understand the focus on this. But as there are so many different more serious issues I think the wording of @Rob. S. "it's a minor cosmetic blemish," is quite appropriate for this one. ADD: Being polemic one could say that it is a question of poor QC. IF they had no

    Well, we COULD hope that the camera module in this - or a later version - is not fixed, so we can have a keyboard back-module, at the cost of an inferior camera
