Another update has published here:

Right and I understand there are only a few phones exist with keyboard support, but that is not a negligible request...

If I understand well, that is a really good solution as sticky shift caused troubles for me but not when it was sticky for only one character. Thanks. I wonder why.

I don't know how phone manufacturing works as a small company, so if you only have an option to be in contract with a company to do the full manufacturing (even Covid may reduced other possibilities), but if we are speaking of much smaller part of the whole, PCB manufacturing and assembly (which may also be separated to only PCB manufacturing, then only assembly), that works a bit differently... ...so, these companies may have an option to pre-order necessary components, which they will use for manufacturing... or a bigger company who does full manufacturing may have an option to pre-orde

Absolutely wrong. Funding was basically needed for further manufacturing of Pro1... ...slight modification is one thing, but that was only included some change in BOM list and nothing else, so nothing what needs PCB design, certification, external testings, SoC-related developments, anything. SoC change became a problem long after Pro1-X campaign was started. So Pro1-X was intended to earn some money of the project but financially became a close-to null-profit or even a loss project... so it is a really sad story. Maybe if software could be improved, they may continue manufa

Right, that was one very important part of the story. Another point was timing (I don't know if Unihertz had better luck regarding this)... I mean it may happen that only a few weeks have caused a huge difference regarding re-branded Pro1 vs. the long journey of Pro1X.

If I remember well, I had a problem of remapping it as FN key like it was in stock Android but I have not checked actual keyboard driver's functionality or source code. Sorry if I am a bit unclear, I have just arrived home and it is nearly 3AM and left home a bit after 7AM in connection with a project coming deadline. I hope I will have a bit more time to check it and also some time for Pro1X... a bit later...

When I have first tried the phone, as far as I remember well, I had a Telekom Hungary card inserted. I had both problems - problem on receiving and initiating calls, but first call worked after restart (maybe modem standby issue). I haven't checked it since a while and currently it also has a Telenor Hungary card inserted which also had similar problem but in dual-SIM configuration. I may also check it using Telekom/Telenor/Vodafone Hungary if that matters (in one-SIM configuration) but as far as I remember well, they use similar frequency bands.

Here is the latest update from F(x)tec:

I have a Pro1 as daily driver but I have also received my Pro1X as an IGG backer. When I have tried Pro1X, I also had issues initiating call and also accepting call - sometimes it worked but mostly does not. I am in the EU / Hungary and tested using Telekom service provider - I may also test is using another service provider but I have also thought it is a very common problem as I read a lot about it here. So it is not limited to US region but also happen in Europe, maybe related to specific bands.

It was an initial problem which was improved in later firmware. Maybe LineageOS has also improved it a bit or at least now I don't have this problem. Fortunately, I don't have problems with my car BT handsfree but there may be difference regarding protocols. Anyway, it also works together using standalone Bluetooth handsfree unit and I have also tried it using Samsung Gear S3 Frontier where handsfree mode worked. Maybe you ran into a compatibility issue...

I think most of your problems with Pro1 were caused by the fact you live in the USA and telephony systems generally work a bit different way there. I am using my Pro1 as a daily driver together with LineageOS and it works well for me. However, network coverage is relatively good here. Network coverage is basically in par with my Motorola G6 (which was my previous phone), however, that also could has been a bit better... but nothing huge problems for me. WiFi works well but it is true it sometimes drops connection then reconnects... LTE works well, GPS works well (much better th

Yes, that is the question.

Right, under Windows, drivers can cause a lot of troubles and "plug and play" driver installation may also cause issues. However, if I understood well, @Milky_Pimmshas tried it under Linux where driver-related problems do not apply.

I think if you unplug your keyboard and mouse, you will have a completely free USB2 line. You may plug them into another USB ports but then check it again if they really connected to another bus so that connector is not also connected to BUS 005. ...then you may try to connect your phone to the USB connector where your keyboard or mouse is currently connected. It worth a try.

For me, I had call initiating/receiving problem from the very first time I have turned it on. (Basially it worked mostly once after restart...) However, I had a feeling it is a modem problem and not necessarily reception, so I am waiting for a software upgrade which potentially improving very bad modem problems - and I hope updating its firmware is possible... I did not have enough time to follow its progress anyway but I hope they will find a solution.

Basically there are more USB connections on a PC than physical USB endpoints at hardware side. So there are internal HUBs connected and also there are usually internal USB hardware in the machine which are also connected somewhere. So more USB devices share the same bus. These USB devices are communicating with PC, so they may generate interrupts, so hardware is also handling their communication while the flashing method needs strict timing, so that may result the process does not arrive in time for data sending. That is the background. Usually there is at least one USB c

Compared using their stock systems? Pro1 runs much smoother using LineageOS, however, Pro1X may also have some benefit of LineageOS once it becomes fully functional.

Right. The one what I have received for replacement seemed to be a part of a faulty or "used for spare" Pro1. (It had some missing ground springs but otherwise was in good condition.) For manufacturing, basially they need gerber files (for PCB manufacturing), BOM ("bill of materials", basically parts and parts to designator list) and Pick&Place File (basically parts designator positions), latter files for soldering components. These are the necessary parts for manufacturing, and naturally components are also need to be available. If above files are not available (and also CAD

As far as I know, that PCB is different - at least they wrote in one of their update that they had to redesign that PCB as part of the radio problems they ran into, and also it looks different based on FCC photos. Anyway, potential problems with USB port were the reason they moved the connector to a different panel, so it would be very welcome to take advantage of that... I hope it will be available soon for purchase as a not expensive product. I really hope they have the manufacturing data for that board of Pro1... I would buy some of them for a reasonable price.

I don't know if it could be related, but is there a way for you to try turning off VoWiFi? So I think not necessarily the WiFi connection is the problem but Voice over WiFi could be related if it tries to support it but without success.

Unfortunately, it has started the same way for me (prior to this point, it could charge relatively reliably only at one direction of Type-C connection).

If I remember well, it worked after I have allowed ADB connection of my PC (there is a notification appears with a "MAC-address" where you can tick to remember). I don't know if fastboot has anything to do with ADB but I could enable offline charging of my Pro1X afterwards.

Right, Pro1 had the option of 256GB version but was never available and they wanted to offer also 256GB variant for Pro1X - however, there is no official information if they kept the same pinout for Pro1X after PCB redesign. So right, that is still a question.

I don't know but as far as I know, it is the same as in Pro1 - if that helps a bit. 🙂 Happy New Year for all! :)
