  1. Ah well yes, that could be it. That would sound reasonable in line with 'late July'.
  2. Just guessing : It is exactly a month from now, so could be some standard expiration? (I'm not on faecesbook, so do not know how their stuff works) I will be super glad if it comes out mid July, but I doubt it. From what Liangchen Chen said at the London event, I would expect late July.
  3. Nice! I hope they sound as good as they look.... Though I'm a sucker for active noise cancellation, so will more likely than not keep using my ATH-ANC33iS
  4. On mine there is no discount line either, BUT the total is 100 less than the subtotal, is that the case for you too? [attachment file=17252]
  5. I can't wait either :) On the Priv, it is important to keep it lean to perform well. I have written quite a bit on it. You can start here
  6. You can select to use one of the shift keys for Ctrl. I can not remember the exact place. Have to dig it up :) Settings, Language&Input, Blackberry Keyboard Settings, Advanced, Physical Keyboard Ctrl key
  7. People really should try ADB, we can disable (almost) anything without the need for neither root nor flash, just a pc and a usb-cable... See https://www.fxtec.com/forums/topic/root-related-questions-split-from-support-time-thread/page/1/#post-16686 with link
  8. Ah sorry, was a little too hasty with that split. Thanks for the heads up, fixed.
  9. Just a hint to those that like rooting just to kill bloat apps. Even on non-rooted devices we DO have a bigger axe to disable stuff, than apps-settings. Slightly hidden but official. By the use of USB-cable, a PC, and Google's ADB.program's commands we can disable galore (almost) anything. (Yes, including Bixby!) I wrote a lot of blah blah with examples related to a Samsung S8- here
  10. Split all the root related posts into a new thread:
  11. That is odd, I see both Danish and English reviews. (The names indicating it hardly being Danes writing in English) BUT it could be because I always set my devices to real English (or American), as the translations to Danish more often than not are more or less incomprehensible, so you have to try to make a reverse translation to guess what it originally was, to understand it.... You could try to (temporarily) change the phone language, and see if that gives you more reviews. (But indeed a bit odd that it is not a setting like: "I prefer these languages, in prioritised order")
  12. The one I found here is a fairly mediocre fit, to put it mildly. I have not (yet) found tempered glass protectors with fitting curvature, just flat ones (and this even got a common cut out in the top for camera etc). There are various plastic ones with curvature, I have not tried these, as I wanted nothing less than tempered glass on this this hard to get specimen. Once it goes into real production, I might settle for less, and just buy a spare screen , for the bad chance of a plastic protector not doing the trick. Personally I'm not a huge fan of Gorilla glass. It is a GREAT compromise if
  13. If I have my way, there will be no practical limits to what chars will be supported (well unicode accepted by Android). And my plan is that they can be assigned to any key or key-combination within some reasonable limits. (Zero or more modifier-keys plus some normal keys) So any language using letters with individual unicode chars should be easy to map as wished. To the extent Android supports it, it could even be taken a step further and supporting partial 'glyphs' or diacritics that can be used to combine chars from multi strokes. Either diacritics/modifiers pressed before or after, depe
  14. And please add over here, if there is a specific version that works well with Keyboards/Landscape - and how to get to it. https://www.fxtec.com/forums/topic/apps-that-works-great-with-a-real-keyboard-and-in-landscape/ It is an annoying 'feature' in the Android Market, that once something have been messed up with an 'update', we not only can not downgrade, we even can't uninstall and install the working older version. We have to either hope the developer fixes what they messed up or find and side-load it, thus messing with the whole idea of (at the least somewhat) secured apps.
  15. Just made a few quick ones with a samsung, not sharp, but you can see the size... [attachment file=16619] [attachment file=16620]
  16. I think that is a fair estimate of the worst-case scenario. We will have to wait and see on the repairability. At the least I see some screws, in both halves, so might not be as bad after all :)

    Avatars?

    Thanks for testing. I had (optimistically) hoped that it was just the menu item that under some unknown circumstances were missing, but must be worse than that then. Hmm, :-/ Maybe different 'create-paths' of the user create the profile with different rights to their own profile?? Let us hope some more knowledgeable person knows what is going on and can fix it..

    Avatars?

    The link "Edit Profile" on mine is pointing to, looks like this (almost) https://www.fxtec.com/user/?profiletab=main&um_action=edit If I execute that link I get the edit. Could one of you with the issue, please try? ADD: This reduced version seem to also work (for me) https://www.fxtec.com/user/?um_action=edit
  19. It depends a bit on what you mean by "google apps", as all the Android system apps in principle are Google apps. But I assume you mean stuff like their maps, mails, drive, photos, youtube, chrome and many others, and YES you can disable these (even without the need to use ADB from a PC - that is a big axe for non rooted devices) And remember that if not enough, they also promised that it is rootable, so that allows you to do practically anything. :) PS Also remember that due to a really odd Android thing, you have to explicitly stop a running app you have disabled, otherwise it will c
  20. There has been a discussion on the size much earlier in the thread, so moved your comment here. I too hope for a Pro2 of lesser size. If the Pro1 gets a big (excuse the pun) success, we will have a higher chance of later variants also. I'm quite sure they thought long on what size that would would suit the most users, and that is where they have chosen to start.
  21. Just tried to pair the Pro1 with an old Iphone BT keyboard I dug up, and look and behold it worked!! (Not that it makes much sense though) So why it did NOT work with the Android phones I tried earlier I do not know.... ADD The same old thing also worked on my Samsung S8- , so all points to the problems I have seen no longer exists??
  22. One very very crucial detail is missing in this spec-compare: The keyboard.... And not just a fixed keyboard but a sliding landscape one!!! One thing is the price of the keyboard and the development of it alone, like say a BB Key½, but we should also remember that logically 'splitting' a standard phone in halves, keeping it well balanced is not an easy thing! This is not just a keyboard 'drawer' tugged underneath a phone, it is more like a screen and some other components cut out of the unit and moved to the second half. And this has to be done with a strategically placed cable that is placed
  23. I can see it was resent. :) BUT If you still do not get it, you might want to check if you are using an email provider that has a filter where it can get caught, before your local email program ever have a chance of seeing it as real/spam. My email-provider uses a system called "SpamTitan", and ocasionally I experience that the filter have been overzealous and caught real emails in it's quarantine.
