Yes I see their comment section is all about people having the same issues... 🙄

I have been trying to pledge for one of these, but kickstarter just returns after a while when I try to pay, I was in for the lowest price several times, until they sold out, but no luck, and only worked on a higher price after perhaps twenty attempts.... So we will see if I ever receive anything....

LineageOS 18.1 Official Release for Pro1
EskeRahn replied to Wheeljack's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
(lineage-18.1-20210517-nightly-pro1-signed.zip on May 5 security patch installed smoothly using adb sideload and MindTheGapps-11.0.0-arm64-20210412_124247) -
(In all fairness it should be said that the Samsung bloat can be disabled without rooting through ADB from a PC, a bit cumbersome but possible, see e.g. this)

I use that too, but it does stick out from the phone a bit. But if used in a case or shell, it is not vulnerable.

It is amazing that though no slider it is still over 20% thicker than the Pro1. But definitely an interesting alternative for the BB users that prefer a portrait keyboard.

What's The Current State of Updates?
EskeRahn replied to MickH's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Remember that there are TWO apps with the same name "Wireless Update", and that you have to click Ellipsis and "Show system" to have them included on the app list first. I do not know which one is required, I would suggest to clear for both. -

....And we all know that assumptions are the mother of all fu.... 😂 But I hope you are right. Though I would definitely try the 'clearing-trick' described by @John Veness first, as we have seen this work earlier. 🙂 -

Merged your thread into this much larger one, that shows a number of simple DIY solutions, as the base is very close to the size of the Huawei P20 pro. See e.g. this. But definitely nice if we get at fitting base shell, thanks @VaZso for that link 👍

What's The Current State of Updates?
EskeRahn replied to MickH's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Oh indeed. What we do not know is how much the swindle affected their plans for the original Pro1. Optimistically it could merely be a matter of prioritising getting the Pro1X ready and out on the streets first. -
What's The Current State of Updates?
EskeRahn replied to MickH's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Thanks. Not to be sarcastic, but I do wonder what they mean by "support" when it has been almost nine months without bugfixes, and the security updates are over a year behind... But I guess I'm just impatient. -

I'm in the same boat. Given up hope for an update, and will be pleasantly surprised if it arrives after all. -
LineageOS 18.1 Official Release for Pro1
EskeRahn replied to Wheeljack's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
You can (inside the Android market app) select to have apps - including their own ones - autoupdated. And you actually need to remember to explicitly turn this OFF if you do not want them to constantly wasting battery and bandwidth for checking for new versions. Just like on stock. (Note that they choose to ignore your selection, turning it back on, when you install on a new device with same G-account BTW) -

I just inserted a marker pen from the left, to keep the halves apart.

Need help filing a consumer complaint in the UK...
EskeRahn replied to DieBruine's topic in General Discussion
The last year with the Corona mess it has been the standard here in Denmark that we were NOT allowed to sign for parcels, not limited to one courier. (Though I was requested to sign for a tonne of wood I got a few days ago, but that was -obviously- not by one of the usual parcel services) -

EskeRahn replied to DieBruine's topic in General Discussion
When getting parcels from Germany, I have seen similar, that the German and Danish version of tracking disagrees, and also that the sending site has it marked as delivered before it actually is. I once contacted the courier and they contacted the Danish branch and removed the delivered entry - but when the parcel arrived some hours later, they did not get it back in... so things are only partly automated, with stange bugs as a result. -

EskeRahn replied to DieBruine's topic in General Discussion
With emphasize on "sent". What matters is if it is "delivered". But things gets muddy with Brexit if neither the sender nor the recipient are willing to pay the 'fees' added by the courier. BUT if that was the case at the least FxTec should get the info that the packet is on hold at the pirates courier until someone pay the ransom 'fees'. And I have NO idea which part is legally obliged to pay this ransom on the return of a repair sent in before brexit and returned to EU after. -

EskeRahn replied to DieBruine's topic in General Discussion
Oh I got it wrong too. And yes indeed as FxTec chose the method of sending it back to @DieBruine it must be them that has to take the struggle with the courier, and must prove that either the device was delivered or compensate with a device or money. (whether FxTec can reimburse a compensation from the courier is their own fight) -

EskeRahn replied to Wheeljack's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I unfortunately do not have any miracle solution. BUT as something went wrong with a flashing I would still suspect the connection. double check that no 'pocket lint' have sneaked in, for all connections, and possibly try a different cord, port or PC. If you do have access to alternatives, try connecting any different USB-C phone, and try to transfer a large amount of data (e.g. images & videos) in both directions and double check that they transferred correctly. -
Unless you are very much in a hurry to immediately get any new updates on release (last was August 2020), then I would suggest to disable the two System Apps both called "Wireless Update", and when you get information on a new update you want to apply, you can just re-enable them. it is com.adups.fota and com.adups.privacypolicy Do both a disable AND a stop (!) as described here ADB shell pm disable-user com.adups.fota ADB shell am force-stop com.adups.fota ADB shell pm disable-user com.adups.privacypolicy ADB shell am force-stop com.adups.privacypolicy (You can stop them fro
