Note that if they still got a stack of unanswered email, a new mail will put you in the bottom of the stack. But let us tag @Erik again, and hope they can clear things up.

I guess this is their main selling-point for the non-free version. But would be nice if this could be bought even without the device support. I'm not sure how they actually implemented the Alien Dalvik, but would guess hardware dependent, and here (unfortunately for us) the supported Xperia 10 and XA2 uses SDM630 so might require some modifications to work for other CPUs&GPUs, and thus also devices like the Pro1....

I'm certainly with you there. As many in here already know. And your guess on the reason is (at the least) as good as mine. But the device can be fully assembled and tested less the key-tops, so they could add it as (one of) the very last step before packing.

It is indeed quite similar to what we see in step 8 in your link. All that is needed to swap it is a little heat to loosen the adhesive, and the key mat can be removed. But why the qwertZ plates are harder to get than the qwertY I do not know. A GUESS could be that they are too small to get priority, if the company making them are very busy catching up for a larger client after the corona lockdown - but pure guesswork...

The account numbers are not the original ones, they changed at the forum upgrade, as you can see mine is number 5183, and I have been active in here long before Erik was hired.... The first (or at the least among the first handful) would be Waxberry - and he got 5215...

I hope they go for std NanoSIM + sd + eSIM. An eSIM chip can hold multiple profiles so a standard SIM only for compatibility with carriers not (yet) supporting eSIM.

Well I imagine, that it MIGHT be possible to fix with some rod and cogwheels in the keyboard part synchronising the two sides. Obviously the technically super simple mechanism of the Pro1 has this coupling by design by the support being a plate and not two individual arms. (Actually the mechanism of the Pro1 though very simple in principle once you got the idea, is a bit harder to do with the correct ratios if you try to do the math, it was a bit of a puzzle when II tried to make a program to create the principal gif here)

Well we have seen the mechanism. As I described here the inventor himself struggles with it in their own presentation video (from 01:00 to 01:20 here). But obviously they might have improved that since, but we are to see that first....

There is a big IF in this. You are assuming that they are going to produce to stock. You could be right. But I wouldn't if it was me. I personally would not at all be surprised if once all pre-orders are handled, they will pile enough orders, before they produce a new batch for those - plus a few extras. I don't think they will want to produce more than they feel quite certain they can sell (plus what they need for guarantee repairs & swaps) If my guess here is right, I would expect that the more the order flow slows down, the less beyond the already ordered they will produce.

I have blown away some dirt (pocket lint?) and given the two sides of the top end of the support plate on my retail unit a tiny drop of silicone (the type you can use for the rubber sealing on car doors). Opened and closed it a dozen of times, and removed the excess with a paper tissue. And it moves smoothly again.

Interesting, Unfortunately It seems to only record in the left hand channel from the right hand microphone when selected... 😖

I have had similar experiences. I normally either use it with a headset or hands-free on a desk though, so rarely I use it as a classic phone next to the ear. I have installed an app to automatically detect to switch to hands-free, and actually thought it was the app that was buggy, but could be something with the sensor-driver...

Ah, yes, unfortunately this is stock only. I have tried to copy and sideload the apk to Lineage, it does not work. 😥 On Stock you can also see an action installing "KeyEvent display", as stock sends a key sequence (Ctrl+F4/F5 if I remember right) on close/open, but it is captured deeper in Lineage, so not as easy to check, Maybe @tdm got at test-tool? You do get a keyevent sequence activating the other hall-sensor on Lineage also though. (Detect case lid close/open, slightly different sequence than stock).

There is both the sensor, and what is supposed to read the sensor. Try the factorykit build in test (but look out for triggering the emergency call) Here my translated list. See top of thread on how to open.

I was referring to those that stated they have been waiting for a year. Though you are over nine month and that is sad too. I do not know how deep the stack is. The latest info we got with a number was with the large batch that was partly blocked by the Covid, and here they said they had reached 70% of the pre orders. But they used this complex nation-based system to decide who was next, so hard for us outside the system to guess what this means for your particular order in your 'national stack'. But they have said a new batch was expected in September so hopefully you will be part of that one

Well if you go to Settings►System►Language & Input►Physical keyboard►Keyboard shortcuts helper You will see that it officially is not Ctrl but the magnifying glass. Something somewhere maps Ctrl+Space to this. However it is not limited to the Pro1 see e.g. https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard/issues/142

I just made a completely fresh install of Lineage, and here Ctrl+Space does NOT cycle through the languages selected, so it can be turned off or altered somewhere (do not know where though) Please ignore... Only selected one... 🙄

It is actually not a physical contact but a small magnet that affects a Hall-sensor when closed. (The magnet is roughly under the right Shift key)

You are not limited to a single layout, you can easily change. So if one is better than the other for different purpose, swapping is simple (Ctrl-Space in stock). I swap between Danish and English (and got a few others for testing too)

Are you on stock Android or LineageOS_ On Lineage fewer satellite systems are in use than under stock (Mentioned in the Lineage thread). I must admit I have not really used the GPS for ages, as I upgraded my old car to another old car that got GPS build in, in May. So can not say if things has changed with the latest updates. ADD: Just turned location on, on stock. It started 300Km away where I last used it months ago, but within 10 seconds outdoors I got a fix within less than 10m

FinQwerty offers US-International.

I noted that the ones mentioned are qwertZ, that are currently also marked as "out of stock" for new orders, I have no idea why they seem to have troubles getting more of those, but that could explain it.

I do not think that F(x)tec ever planned to produce more than what was ordered. Perhaps a small overhead buffer, primarily for any needed warranty replacements, but I never heard that they would carry an extensive stock. There MIGHT be some dealers that want to take that chance though. We know that a few dealers had bought a handful for stock a while back - but they were sold out practically immediately. I do not know if any dealers currently got a stock.
