  1. Thanks. It seems I have mixed the example and its background event. 🙂 I didn't see the difference is the FN key press/release itself. 🙂
  2. Sorry if I did not understand you correctly (I am a bit tired) and I am currently using stock Android, but do I understand well you are going to hard-wire FN (alias yellow arrow) + yellow-signed keys as "yellow" keystrokes? I use the QWERTZ layout because it can be easily translated to international layout and I use the yellow arrow to reach my local special characters. Some of them are located at a position where also yellow signs exist on Pro1's keyboard. Does it mean I will not be able to do the same thing (remap) on Lineage OS or this behaviour can be switched off or is it modifi
  3. That is because of physical difference between QWERTY and QWERTZ layouts, so this has messed up your layout. Anyway, there is a layout setting in Lineage OS, try to switch it to the other option. I think it will be good or even worse depending on these layouts.
  4. Definitively, but I feel sad I can not even purchase it for Pro1. 😞
  5. True, but it may also add some complications like either the phones can not be assembled then tested in one step but have to also handle specific amounts then do a fully assembled test or the specific amounts should be managed separately in appropriate number of items then change these parts to the another (appropriate) one. It may be easier if somebody is there to manage and control these changes but much harder to manage these "variations" from a place far away and COVID still not helps to travel a lot for this purpose.
  6. The worst part (at least in my opinion) of the N900 does not even shown in this teardown. 🙂 Here it is: That ribbon cable "grows" directly from the motherboard. Anyway, I loved that phone but I didn't like this kind of connection and I met some boards where somebody (who felt it is a good idea to repair it without appropriate knowledge) broke down that wire. The microUSB connector is close to that cable and that connector was often broke in that phone. The two versions of the keyboard was not really a good decision they made as it is very good for users but a
  7. I think the date of 2019. October 24 (which is also the same on your account and mine) is the date of mass migration, I was also active on the old forum which had our original registration dates shown. Anyway, my number is 5192 and also the very same date is shown at Waxberry's account. Our user id may be the order of migration and I think Erik has tested the new forum before migration started and that is why he has number 1. 🙂
  8. What was the appropriate temperature of the phone? If it was too hot then it can be a cause. Otherwise, I had only one reboot since last update when I was in Google Camera's interface (GCam port) wanting to take a photo, then the display went green and a full reboot happened. Otherwise it remained stable.
  9. Not really spontaneous reboot but I had a problem of something like a reboot loop of Android when I have restarted my phone but also later it became worse and started the same loop after I plugged in to charger. It was not a complete reboot as Linux kernel did not restart, but Android did it on the top. This reboot loop usually took hours, then the phone started and functioned well till the next charge attempt. So yesterday I wanted to save everything and do a factory reset. Before that, I wanted to take a backup using Android built-in function. It has uploaded general settings a
  10. I hope they are working on Pro2 but currently there is no information regarding that and it may take a while even if they are working on it, so the current choice is Pro1. The Pro1 itself is very well done considering they are a startup. They were not skip steps necessary before production. I think this mentality caused a lot of initial delay at beginning but also that is what makes Pro1 a well-designed product. Naturally there are drawbacks of being a small startup, so there are limited hardware elements to choose from and one of this is the curved display itself, but also this ma
  11. They are different. I have also bought an Elephone display with frame by mistake which I had to remove the display from. It was full metal anyway but Pro1's frame is at least mostly plastic (I don't know if any metal at the outside of display frame or not, but other parts are plastic). Also, Elephone is a one-piece hardware and its display frame also includes USB connector cutout and also otherwise different from Pro1's frame.
  12. I have just replaced my screen in my Pro1 yesterday. The instructions @FlyingAnterolinked are good - you will need a heat gun (the one which is not looks like a hair dryer but a smaller, better controllable unit). You should heat up the screen edges - the disassembly guide suggest 160 degree Celsius, ensure you don't really exceed it, so a simple hair dryer is really not good (also because of excessive amount of air and uncontrolled temperature). You will need a little bit of patience but the display will come out. Then you should clean the frame itself and you will need something w
  13. I still did not use the new display too much, but I feel I have a working Pro1 again. 🙂 I mostly notice the working of touch panel is smooth again, so I was not able to enter my unlock pattern while I saw the lines but now it is possible. My touch keyboard often used to be stuttering but now it is fluent as it was before. The display is shiny. Color temperature was greatly improved also with original display using stock display and latest firmware and I don't have a possibility of a side-by-side comparison but it seems to be relatively good also in lower brightness. So I don't real
  14. Finally, I had some time replacing the display in my Pro1 which had ghost touches. I have decided not to experience with the original display but change it to the display ordered at Aliexpress because I did not want to stress the phone too much - I had to use a heat gun to separate display and its frame and I did not want to do this more than necessary. Which was strange is that all of the screws were loose (not tightened) and an internal screw near the front camera was almost completely unscrewed (almost felt out of its bolt). However, tightening the screws did not help (blind are

    Flaky GPS, Pro1

    True and GPS (GNSS) reception can be very poor inside a house or at a place where there are several tall buildings near the road - this is in general, not Pro1-related. Now I remember what helped me on my Moto G6. 🙂 It did not have GNSS reception even after reboot (but tower-based guessing instead) till I have modified what kind of position systems are allowed to use by Android then set it back to allow GNSS / Tower / whatever it had. Maybe it worth a try on Pro1 but so far I only had this problem on Moto G6. ...so, correct. Check this option and also if it is set corr

    Flaky GPS, Pro1

    Thanks, I didn't know that. So it basically uses the same parts of Maps solution (and same hardware background) but in another form. 🙂
  18. I am also using a black P20 Pro case which I have modified for the Pro1's holes and I am convinced. Edge touching is much better I think, but keyboard opening is a bit harder. However, I can open it easily by lifting its back up first. I wanted to have some protection because a phone with real keyboard is very important for me...

    Flaky GPS, Pro1

    I don't really know what is Android Auto exactly, but I never had any problems with GPS on my phone, also I found it to be extremely good in every situations. I don't use it very often though, but sometimes I use Waze and sometimes the Google version (Maps? application - it is translated so I am unsure about its name). It has always found satellites easily. Last time I used it today and I have not noticed any problems, however, mobile internet was active, so AGPS was available. Otherwise, I had problems with GPS on my Moto G6 phone in a strange way which appeared in a very bad situa
  20. I think someone should try it using anybother phone and external keyboard (or external keyboard using Pro1) to see what this problem related to and if it is a firmware issue or not.
  21. I am also using "Textra" as messaging app and this function works in it unlike the stock application.
  22. I also have blind area since the problem appeared but this blind area is also not constant. Also, yesterday I looked at comments in one application of play store and had two feedbacks sent to Google by ghost inputs for the same, non-problematic comment saying it is spam or unwanted content... and there is no option to revoke it... 😞 Once I was unable to type certain characters on touch keyboard, but later the same characters are worked in the same touch keyboard and same orientation, so it is varying. What I feel constant is a blind area near that place where ghost inputs are appea
  23. I have also experienced this thing with opened keyboard but I have not played with opening/closing mechanism in order to see if it changes anything. However, I have noticed if I press the display at a certain corner, the self-working ghost touches seems to behave better...
  24. Thanks for sharing... these problems are the same as mine written above (one of the videos was mine). Anyway, my replacement screen ordered from Aliexpress has just arrived so I plan to disassemble my Pro1 this weekend if everything go right. I am curious about the internal state of the display's back so if an insure can be seen or not. If the latter (and I can remove it without insure), I would like to remove the display and, if possible, I will try to reapply it again - if it does not change the problem then I will replace the display with the one received. It is more than inte
  25. I have also had a restart yesterday (update installed when it became available) while I wanted to take a photo using Gcam Port's camera. Display became green and I think a watchdog restart happened. I have a problem which I still have not dug into so Android keeps restarting a while when I reboot my phone or connecting a charger so it has started its "usual" reboot loop. ...but there is a difference. My reboot loop does not affect the kernel, so practically the hardware does not restarts but the Android on top. The watchdog restart above was a complete freeze or panic so also
