  1. I do agree 😁 With no real usage, but still connected to both WiFi and mobile network, mine can last a week. So we are down to what is substantially eating power is the screen and cpu when in use. And we can hardly complain on that. I would claim that anyone on AICP that got a poor idle stamina on the Pro1, either need to weed out in the stuff they got running in the background, or should try to check if the device physically is placed where there is very poor reception of WiFi and/or mobile signal, so the device struggles to keep the connection.
  2. Uh was not aware that they were that greedy... ...and I assume the paypal fee getting the money comes on top of that...?
  3. I have never tried to sell anything en ebay, but it seems like it mainly orient itself towards large sellers, selling to ordinary users, more than user-to-user sales. Especially a complicated machine is started if things does not go smooth, like the idiot with fake biddings on yours. It would be smart if ebay required a minimum feedback and a minimum total sum of Buy-now sales, before a user was allowed to bid in an auction, without paying! If the user did not meet the limit the maximum bid amount should be drawn immediately at bid-time, (and potentially returned at auction-end, minus say 1
  4. A slight hint on linking ebay listings with drop downs. Unfortunately they do not update the active URL when you choose something from the drop downs. The easiest way I found to get the relevant link for a selected variant is to Add the variant to your Basket. Go to your Basket, and right click the link from there and and from the pop-up content menu choose to copy the link. Remove the item from your cart. The important thing is the var part of the link. E.g.: Your general link https://www.ebay.de/itm/133342103922 becomes e.g. https://www.ebay.de/itm/
  5. Odd, on mine with 17.1 20210118 the manual focus slider seems to work fine. (I have not tested the far distances though, it being pitch dark outside)
  6. Same here, but it does take a little getting used to, as just grabbing the device intuitively can cause unwanted interactions.
  7. The main pro IMHO is that they are available cheaper, despite more complex, due to them being produced in larger volumes. If you ask how on earth this silly trend started, then I guess the pros and cons are the same(!) That is the ability to interact with the screen to its very edges. The pro of that depends of the apps&OS, the con obviously the risk of unintended interaction handling the device. And physically that it is harder to protect and thus at a higher risk of breaking, a clear con for the user, but a pro for those that want to sell us a new device....
  8. Obviously, but for many there is quite a difference between 'now' and aiming at shipping in March. 😜 (BTW currently at $600 with two hours remaining)
  9. Ok, so at the least we now know that it is not that it can see both, and preferred LTE as stronger. First of I would try with a new SIM in the Pro1. You could borrow from 'anyone', to eliimnate that simple possibility. If none can do 2G/3G I think you should contact support and hear what they suggest. And you could suggest them to open and have a look.
  10. It could be that an antenna is inactive somehow, perhaps a plug not inserted, or a cable broken? You can explicitly limit the bands you will allow it to use. e.g. by: Settings ► Network and Internet ► Mobil Network ► Preferred network type ► and then select a suitable one (without LTE) to test.
  11. I was unaware. Looking at the very round number reached, I guess they just bumped the 100 to 150
  12. The 8/256 is still again available on IGG, but not at as good a price as earlier. Currently it is at $719
  13. Yeah, has been considering this, but was not quite sure which version of lineage this was all about..... Test 16, released 16, released 17 ... ?
  14. The thing this phone does the worst is well working as a phone... Call quality is not optimal, to put it kindly. Luckily (for me) the function I most seldom use my phone for is calls(!), but would like to see it improved soon!! Though It does work fine for calls using a headset (IMHO).
  15. (lineage-17.1-20210118-nightly-pro1-signed.zip on January 5 security patch installed smoothly using adb sideload)
  16. I doubt many in here will doubt that I agree on that 😇 Actually I'm surprised that the bid is currently still only at $500, so unless some are sitting waiting to strike at the last moments of the auction, it could look like a lucky bidder is getting it a really good price.
  17. Though it technically could be possible, it seems that Windows 10 is on the beefy side of what we can get from a processor like this, see e.g. this. What is you experience using the Miix? This was their slightly hard wording: I stroke out part of this, as just a month ago MS announced a preview of the support of emulation for x64 apps too, so that should be fixed 'soon' 🙂 So though it for some usage could work well, the big question is if a port would be worth the effort, perhaps benefiting a small group only? But that said I would certainly like to at the least try it if it w
  18. Unfortunately they seem not to able to get them produced as fast as they can sell them. So I would not expect shipping of fresh orders before March.
  19. Reviving an old thread, just noticed this unscientific poll. Where a substantial majority prefer flat displays.

    Pro1 Just died.

    I'm not sure it is as simple as that,.. I believe that a part of what carriers get paid is a fee to handle this custom stuff, so if they decide to deliver something without proper paperwork, and get caught, they will most likely get a heavy fine, and/or loose a licence to operate.

    Yeah pretty crazy to expect that you should have guessed what impact later legislation would require of you to have done. But that is Brexit legislation for you... A total mess... 😰 At first glance it looks like UPS is following the crazed rules. First of I'm pretty sure you expected to see your phone(s) back long before the Brexit would take effect. So even if we had known the new legislation I for one would most likely not have done the today needed paperwork. 😓 But it seems there is some exceptions if you can prove that you shipped it before Brexit, as they request prove of that. An

    At least it was as simple as that before Brexit. The direct translation of the Danish (official) text goes like this On "Outward processing", see this. that among other things have this clause ....super easy for the consumer..... hmm..... 🤯

    Personally I will try to avoid buying anything above the €10 (including shiping) trifles limit from the UK if alternatives exists. I even switched using ebay from .co.uk to .ie edit Just found this (in Danish), and though there are two different trifle limits (€10 and £150) it is generally with so many caveats and small prints, that it for an EU consumer has gone from "Why would I not want to buy from Britain?" to "Why on earth would I want to buy from Britain?".... So I guess we are going to see a lot of UK web-shops move their base to (Northern?) Ireland.

    AFAIK this legal obligation only goes if the vendor acknowledges that something was wrong, and fixed (or replaced) the unit. ...And who knows where we stand with that sort of fineprint after Brexiit?? My GUESS would be that it still holds for buys from before the Brexit, but I could be wrong. They MIGHT now just hold to any address in the UK of our choice....
