Pro¹ X – state of production and delivery
EskeRahn replied to Rob. S.'s topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Hard to say. I have a small "express" parcel (smart watch bought April 26) that according to tracking was sent from Shenzen April 27, After a week(!) it had reached Shanghai, and it have been stuck in France since May 4, and that is AFTER it was cleared by customs. So much for "express"... Number: XXXXXXXXXXXXX Shipment status: Transit Details: 2023-05-04 07:59:27,清关开始 ARRIVED AT CUSTOMS,Liège 2023-05-04 07:56:44,清关完成 CLEARED BY CUSTOMS,Liège 2023-05-03 18:45:20,离开转运中心 DEPARTED FROM FACILITY,SHANGHAI 2023-05-02 04:52:00,航班起飞 DEPARTED ON OUTBOUND FLIGHT,Hong Kong 2023-04-30 -
You are welcome. Note that there is also the more expensive solution of buying a display part from FxTec. This is easier to change, and the delivery time can be long, but the last seems not to be an issue for you as touch is working. Maybe you can make some arrangement with them of buying a new display part, and after changing, sending the faulty one back afterwards and get it refunded as warranty? Try to contact their support by mail, and add image(s) illustration the issue. [email protected]

If you go that way, there are some links to disassembly guides in this FAQ post: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3509-faq-roms-common-how-to-questions-pro1pro1x/

Makes me sad to hear. There is warranty on the phone, but the repair times others have reported is bad currently. To my knowledges all warranty repairs have to go to FxTec in the UK. No official FxTec repair point in the US. BUT it is possible to get a display from elsewhere and have a technician replacing it. (there are guides on this in the forum) Technically the display is the same on the Pro1, the Pro1X and the "Elephone U Pro". BUT replacing it there are usually issues with larger touch margins afterwards, For the Pro1, there is a known fix flashing the stock ROM again

LineageOS 20.0 Official Release for Pro1
EskeRahn replied to CornholioGSM's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
(lineage-20.0-20230508-nightly-pro1-signed.zip on May 5 security patch installed smoothly using adb sideload and MindTheGapps-13.0.0-arm64-20221025_100653) So things are back working again -
@eorg, thanks, yes indeed it is very tiresome that we have to search for at the least four character words, so no luck looking for NFC, SIM, GSM, LTE, ROM, LOS or similar abbreviations. Not to mention even shorter stuff like 4G. I would have preferred if the search system had somehow white-listed common very short words, likely to be used. (Actually to find the thread I searched for passport, that I knew was mentioned in the text....)

We got a thread on this already.... Will try to find and merge merged

It is a known problem and the known fix is tedious, we got a thread on it, somewhere, will move if/when i find it.

Pro¹ X – state of production and delivery
EskeRahn replied to Rob. S.'s topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Though it did take a couple of software updates to reach that state, and there still are issues that will never be fixed. But luckily for my they are not crucial for my usage. Whether the known issues with the Pro1X can/will be fixed by updates we do not really know. But in the current state where they struggle to even deliver I do not have my hopes up high for large software updates - Obviously I hope to be proven to be too pessimistic here... -
Thanks @Slion not the least for your Fx Service v0.4.0 that I benefit from many many times a day, with a magnet in the flip cover to lock the device. Very very handy. 😁 (Yes I know there are later versions with more functionalities - not even using all the functionality of the early one)
-
Aeroplane mode is a great thing!. I often use it during meetings or when I go to the Cinema. Much easier and faster to enter/exit than turning off/on. On most devices with quite a low power consumption also. 😁

Thanks for the quick fix. And all your work in general. No pain at all, just shared here so others could skip this update. -

Does the destination of the tracking look correct? -

Francisco is not a bot - but most likely over-burdened with tasks, But I do agree, that their communication-skills are sub-optimal, to put it mildly. -
LineageOS 20.0 Official Release for Pro1
EskeRahn replied to CornholioGSM's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
...Flashing the boot.img from 20230427 gave touch back to recovery, and optimistically went for a dirty flash downgrade without a wipe. Surprisingly it worked 😄 -
LineageOS 20.0 Official Release for Pro1
EskeRahn replied to CornholioGSM's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Yup lineage-20.0-20230501-nightly-pro1-signed.zip is severely broken, no touch! The bug is in the boot.img too. I had to navigate with the side keys to even flash. Using the Tab-key and side keys, it can be operated somewhat, and all seems well - except touch.... -
Inquired about a new battery for my Pro 1
EskeRahn replied to sequestris's topic in General Discussion
Indeed it looks bad, but the thing was users can do from within here is tag them, We can only hope that the lag of response is because they are digging to find out what on earth went wrong, but it really looks bad.... -

EskeRahn replied to sequestris's topic in General Discussion
I think Hook got the most likely explanation, that they gave you the wrong tracking number - obviously that does not change that things are messed up. I doubt very much that it is a deliberate action against you. But I do understand your frustration and felling of them adding insult to injury.... -

EskeRahn replied to Rob. S.'s topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Yeah, I was way to optimistic putting the polls up late summer.... -
Indeed. I guess it would need to do more various shapes to have a broader interest. But if it can be done with out creases I think there is a market, as you would get a 'real' keyboard without sacrificing screen estate. Especially for fold-devices it would make a lot of sense to have one half with dual usage... Sort of like the Cosmo. But obviously a matter of how the feeling of a 'key' is, But with a little development there could be flat plates at the centre of each bubble , So you had a feeling of pressing a more firm surface and not a jelly-feeling.

Yes I know that as a moderator I should show a good example and not post off topic stuff. But this IS on keyboard phones, so not completely off topic.

Inquired about a new battery for my Pro 1
EskeRahn replied to sequestris's topic in General Discussion
Let us hope @Casey can get the parcel stopped, and rerouted to the correct address.... But the tracking already looks weird that it GB-to-GB should take a whole week... That date would be more what we would expect if sent GB-to-US -

EskeRahn replied to sequestris's topic in General Discussion
And sending it GB to GB at that price seems excessive! I wonder if there somewhere in Blyton is an address that looks somewhat like your US one? -
Editing gps.conf file on Android 11
EskeRahn replied to Name_not_avail's topic in General Discussion
Interesting! But the leading text for ACCURACY_THRES seems to indicate that you now include some that were previously thought to poor quality signal to use. Obviously what you got is much better than nothing 😁, but the really interesting question is why the receptions of these are so poor that they go under the default threshold? 🤔
