I also run LineageOS 11 December 20th release. I have also installed it through Magisk but my problems may came from my faulty USB port, sometimes it does a charge/not charge/charge switch because of mechanical problems and when I see "slow charging" on screen, I know it won't charge even if LED shows charging. Anyway, I have not tried AccA yet, I may try to find it but what I really need very soon is a new USB board or if it will fail, I may try to replace the connector... but that would only work if I have the very same connector in hand... Otherwise, I would think Ampere i

@mbecroft, I have installed ACC when you wrote about it but I had to temporary disable it. Should it work with default state or should I start configuring it after enabling? My USB connector is worn and I am waiting F(x)tec's reply about a replacement board for a while so my charging does not work well in every positions... After installing ACC, I could not really get it to charging but it has started charging after reboot, then it stopped... the state of my USB connector would also make me similar jokes. Also, I have tried to run ACC's test which told me to connect charger

They have just released another update here: Link Also, I wish you a Happy New Year!

I am waiting their reply since 1st of December... :S Their first reply has arrived after 7 days.

I am afraid this version is exactly the same as previous version was (because of Christmas). 🙂 (I look at the changelog for every new releases and this was the only one yet which did not had any changes. 🙂 )

As far as I know, those are real keys with tactile feedback but with a e-paper-like display area.

I have picked a USB charger which has a 5V 1A-capable port along with a QC 12V compatible second port. I use the former to charge my Pro1 overnight which is well enough for me for daily use and it does not cause any excessive heat of the phone at all. Yes, I think. They wanted to manufacture the very same phone which was not possible, but they still wanted to keep as much of the Pro1 as possible, so there is high chance for the battery remained the same. I am glad you could solve the most urgent problem in your phone. I am agree there are two possibilities of long-term solut

I use my Pro1 using LineageOS with two SIM cards and I have no problems with it. However, I have experienced a similar problem when VoLTE was enabled but Mobile Data was connected using the other card, so that may be the cause of such a problem. ...but otherwise it works well with 4G enabled, but only primary card can use 4G (by design, not limited to Pro1). So in a country (like in the USA) where 4G is the only option (so no 3G or 2G coverage), the usage of two SIM cards really does not work because of technical limitations.

I haven't heard of any battery problems yet but the battery can be replaced relatively easily. However, I can not provide you any replacement battery sources except what you may find at their Indiegogo site (and which claims delivery next February if that is true). Anyway, currently I don't remember what an expanding battery may destruct inside (physically) but it may be a good idea to remove it before causing additional problems in the device...

Others may have even smaller hands or I don't know... It would be good to see what the problem really is in their case. Right. I have also tried to use my phone one-handed to interact with touch screen but with a relatively high risk of dropping it, so it does not really work in every situations and the larger the phone, the less chance you has. Pro1's keyboard (and practically any landscape keyboards) was not designed to be used in one hand without a support, so it is not really an option. 🙂

It is an interesting question... I feel Pro1 comfortable to type on but I have large hands, so I understand others with smaller hands may not feel it comfortable... however, I was holding an N900 in my hand yesterday and although I did not have any problems typing on my N900, I felt its keyboard is a bit strange... only a few keys in regular rows/columns, less keys/modifiers, modifier only at one side... and really small keys. So I like N900, but I feel Pro1's keyboard is superior in every aspects. 🙂 Having a full-featured keyboard always at hand which is also capable of working o

I don't know @Slion's reasons but for me, it started doing a soft-reboot loop every time when I have restarted my phone. Later, it has also started doing the same loop every time I put my phone to charger. That loop took for half an hour or so before the system booted up correctly. Also, uptime was still increasing, only Android soft-restarted on top of the kernel. After a while, I did a factory reset and it worked fine, but after all applications were reinstalled, it started doing the same loop. After another factory reset and unticking some applications during restore, it wor

I have just received my magnetic cable today (and another two in a few days) but unfortunately it is about the solution after replacing the USB board for me...

Yesterday evening I wanted to put my Pro1 on charger (I was really sleepy). As my USB port is not perfect (only charges well in one direction), I have tried to connect (showed slow charging), then connect the other direction (showed slow charging), to a state where it did not show charging (but LED was working). I thought it is the mentioned "not charging" problem and I read here a turn off / on may help it better, so I have turned my phone off. ...then I could not turn it on again by pressing the power button until I plugged in charger and finally it has powered on by power button (c

(I thought to do the same but I remembered DeepL and left it intact - It is not the most general sentence.)

Valóban nem működik, pedig milyen jó is lenne... nesze neked Bábel. 🙂 Ehh - it does not really work with my native language... However, DeepL does its job really well... just try to compare what Google Translate and DeepL do with the sentence above. 🙂 Anyway, to be ontopic - I have successfully bought again the very same Protective Case what I currently use. It was made for Elephone U Pro and it only has one big oval hole near camera instead of several holes which I used to get when I have tried to order spares earlier.

I don't know but earlier I read about problems with replacement displays only worked for a short while on Elephone U Pro. (I think as a result of unprofessional replacement.) Once I bought a display together with a frame for Elephone U Pro. The display was glued in full original sticky surface, thus, it was hard to remove - however, I could manage to remove it. Also, it had a metal frame as opposed to plastic here. Of course its metal frame was much heavier... It does not necessary the repairability which has negative side effect, but could be related. What I su

- My original screen was working for eight months. - I have replaced it using another screen bought from Aliexpress which was worked for 4.5 months then started having screen issues - collecting colour dots which have disappeared by turning the screen off and on, later it became permanent (ribbon cable was injured at other part). Gluing this case was not perfect as I only used double-side adhesive tape provided with the screen. - I have replaced my screen once again using another screen bought from Aliexpress but using a better gluing method. So far it works well since 10 months

It was the same for me. I suspect the lower-right corner of the PCB, so the left part of the wide ribbon cable near the edge (looking from behind) has the wires coming from touch-related signals. I think it will last till the ribbon cable has a position where it conducts as it should. I don't think there is a huge design issue with the screen or the phone itself. It may be related that they wanted to make the screen replaceable, thus, covered much of the self-adhesive area of the screen originally has. That makes the screen removable but if bottom part is not secured well, it can c

I have attached a photo earlier of the back of the display itself. It has a ribbon cable at the botton side of the display (on the pure panel), that is where display and touch-related wires come from the display itself to the internal display controller and Pro1's controller speaks to this internal controller. I am almost 100% certain the problem is caused by a discontinuity in some of the wires of this ribbon cable and the root cause is the movement of the display panel in relation to its base which causes this ribbon cable to move while the phone is in use and results in a break of th

I have used Light Manager on stock Android where it worked fine. However, it does not work under LineageOS 18 and I don't really like some of the default colours of LED notification (my custom colours are coming from my N900 setup). Recently, I have found a surprise. There is an option under Settings / Applications and notifications / Notifications / Special / Notification light (sorry, these names are not exact names) where there are some related settings. At upper-right corner, there is an "Add" button, where an Application can be selected. The selected application will b

I think issues related to COVID is still a real risk especially if the factory where it is under assembly is highly affected, but I hope this kind of issue will not come up. They are definitively going forward. I hope they will also go through for example FCC approval soon and they can start mass production then and starting to ship devices later. I would assume they may ship devices in next January, hopefully before Chinese New Year.

Yes, it worths a try - practically it is a forced restart and a "turn on" signal in case it remains in power off state. By pressing the power button on working system for around 10-20 seconds, it will also restarts (resets) the system - but it is not adviced to do it when it is not necessary (may lead to software issues). In case it can be repaired locally, it may worths not sending back for repair... but there are more serious issues which a user can not solve, however, F(x)tec may also could only solve it with a Pro1-X later...

It is definitively seems to be some sort of hardware problem. USB PCB may has some electronics but it is very unlikely the main power supply is located there. However, it may has components related to USB power which may also has communication with SoC which may fail to start if this communication is absent (IC is not present or communication line has stalled) - but this is only a guess.

Interesting. However, I assume your device was also not communicating over USB which may worth a check I think. (I really hope what I have experienced with a Pro1 is very rare, it was definitively a flash problem forcing it to go to EDL mode after 10 minutes and failing to write flash via Factory Restore Tool.) Anyway, I am curious what may be the problem with USB panel... theoretically, it can be forced to boot into EDL mode using a Type-C connection which may cause a similar symptom (but not after several minutes) - it would look exactly what you currently see and over usb, it wo
