Some have been reporting making that swap. But I don't think that you can give a general verdict here. For some with sufficiently fine fingers the keys and minor display of the Key2 are fine, and for those the Pro1 will be huge with limited gain. For others a keyboard in portrait is a cramped compromise, and for us the larger keyboard with a lot more keys is a bliss, and the larger screen also welcomed. Note that some apps do not support landscape, or if forced to landscape uses the display really poorly. So if you are strongly dependant of such apps and are not able to find alterna

Unfortunately there are no known materials that are both transparent, hard, elastic and thin. So it is always some kind of compromise. In general the more scratch resistant a material is, the more brittle (and thus fragile) it is. Different versions of Gorilla glass has put more emphasize on one aspect or the other. Personally I prefer to have a 'loose' tempered glass protector over a rather elastic (=scratch prone) screen. This way we get scratch resistance, and when it take a not too heavy impact, most often it is only the tempered glass you have to swap.

Really strange. 500mA ought to be more than enough to charge. Not fast but charge. The Idle consumption over night on mine is in the order of 15mA (4G+5GHz WiFi+NFC+BT but GPS off, and display not in use)

You are right, I over-interpreted from what I read elsewhere. They only claim this: Google Play System Updates, launched last year, lets us expedite updates of core OS components to devices in the Android ecosystem. In Android 11, we more than doubled the number of updatable modules, and those 12 new modules will help improve privacy, security, and consistency for users and developers. And though that obviously is an improvement it is not including everything. 😥

I can not thank you guys enough for the work done. But the number of hours i bet you guys have used on this versus the price of the two devices would still leave room for quite some donations without anyone could reasonably consider you greedy...

I much hope they will skip Q and jump to R as security updates on R goes through the Android Market. This way FxTec could completely avoid Google's certification-mess for security updates through standard OTA updates. So they should only handle changes/fixes to their own drivers/software. EDIT, see below...

New image up, downloaded and currently flashing....

If I can, then I do not know how, so let's hope @Erik or @Elysia can do it.

I was thinking the router. If the router has a few years it offers independent networks for 5GHz and 2.4GHz with different names. Newer routers can offer both under one name.

Could you perhaps try a different router? Or forcing it to 2.4GHz only temporarily. I had rather poor stamina when using a Huawei B525 on 5GHz but more than five times(!) better using the successor Huawei B535. But note that 2.4GHz worked fine on the old one too. So perhaps the Pro1 is a bit picky on what router we use... (I tried both a B335-232 and a B535-235 and they work equally well - the difference is VoIP)

I will suggest to try XDA or the forum for that device/brand. This is the user forum for the F(x)tec Pro1

Unfortunately you can not directly change the layout without rooting. But a tool like FinQWERTY is open source, so you could make your own APK and side-load it. (no rooting needed) On stock android the Yellow arrows are used as "Fn" key. The Logo-F as a jump to launcher Home.

If you can use "Russian Mac style", they are hidden away is on Sh+6 and Sh+7....

Hmm, my GUESS would be that e.g. pocket lint has crept in and is preventing the free motion of the button.

Yes, any good suggestions?

They also got a "FiLMiC Pro Evaluator" that is free, running that all are ticked (except OIS) including "Audio Gain", that I guess is what we are looking for.

When you guys see the phenomena, does it do it both opened and closed? Could it be the ribbon cable between the two halves that gets issues over time? If it appears both opened and closed a wild guess could be if a pin of some sort over time is eating its way through some insulation of say a cable? That it gets triggered by a (gentle) press could indicate something like that.

Please read again. The point is that you apparently need to shut down bluetooth before any changes attempted on the Codec in Developer Options takes effekt. It could make sense if they only look at the settings when bluetooth is started, and do not monitor any changes we may make later on.

I found something that might be related here, someone suggests to turn off Bluetooth before changing the setting in developer options - worth a try. Most likely you should also make sure that it is un-paired if it shows up as paired (though not working), as it might else remember the APTX for the device.

Try "Developer options" , "Bluetooth Audio Codec", and try one of the many options not mentioning APT-X HD.

If you prefer a more pure Linux experience you should know that an ubuntu port exists. I'm not sure how far it has been developed though.

Maybe @Rob. S. can help? He has been using it
