  1. As you requested, I took some photos using my Pro1 today. These photos were just done, so there were no several shoots and long setups, just some simple photos... These photos were taken by a GCam port (Pocophone) using HDR+ setting turned on, so it definitively manipulates the photos but I have not edited them. You can see them here. I took only two photos using stock camera and put it here.
  2. Camera is pretty good for me anyway. The stock application has fair image quality (especially in dark condition) but modded Google Camera (like Pocophone's) has absolutely perfect image quality also in dark condition. So hardware is really good and by using a better software, it has really good image quality (much better than my Moto G6 anyway).
  3. Yes, I had a tracking number and also had to fill a form for Customs and tick "DDP parity" - it went through so I did not have to pay customs fee but F(x)tec payed it. It was in January, I don't know if something has changed since then, F(x)tec told me to do it this way. I think the current shipments go the same way. I had to fill several information on the paper but I also wrote there what amount of VAT was included in original purchase (in Euro). Also purchase info of F(x)tec website and payment receipt were attached (as requested). I have called Customs by phone and they tol
  4. I thought FedEx delivered something to me in Hungary earlier but it seems I have mixed it up with UPS (it was a big black car, so there is a high chance for that)... 🙂 When I have received my Pro1, it was tendered to another courier for local delivery, but I am not sure which courier... but... hmm, if I remember well, DPD was the final courier - driver called me and told courier's name but then he called me back a bit later to tell he called me by mistake as he will come from the other side of the city, so he will come somewhere in the afternoon -, so I would have been waited a bit in the
  5. I agree, I am sure they want to fulfill demand as soon as possible and I hope the best. Anyway, I don't find postal service really fast these days - usually they are really slow here and now I feel they work extremely slowly at lowest imaginable limits (even when the package is in the country). Other couriers like DHL seems to be working well anyway (and Pro1 shipments used higher-grade couriers), however, shipping through these couriers seem to be more expensive now. At my side, I use a Pro1 as my daily driver and I would still say it worth my money. So I know closely how usa

    Yes, it comes up as "05c6:9008 Qualcomm, Inc. Gobi Wireless Modem (QDL mode)" I have disabled modemmanager. I have not removed it anyway, because this is a laptop and it has an LTE modem which I use sometimes but it also caused me problems earlier when it catch my own USB device(s) after a few seconds (hardware / software under development). It is not a very well designed thing (basically because of the way these modems work and it comes from Windows / plug-and-play style strange solutions), so it tries to communicate with every USB-CDC devices to switch a potential modem to modem mode.

    Exactly the same here (with my friend's phone). It was running stock OS but after a reboot, it went to a state where it is unable to boot but it falls back to EDL mode after 15 minutes. I have tried flasher under Linux and got "Connection timed out" message, then tried under Windows and got "Unknown error" message. As I see, under Linux, the message appears at a point where the phone (as a USB device) disappears, then about the same point in time when it comes up again, flasher displays this message. I have tried to initiate EDL mode on this phone by shorting data pin to GND usin
  8. My laptop currently has 48 days and 16 hours of uptime (Linux), but I had to restart my Pro1 two days ago because of loosing fingerprint sensor...
  9. Anyway, I often use Ctrl+W to close a tab in browser and as Ctrl+Q sits next to that combination, that is the reason why I occasionally press the latter instead of closing only the current tab. 🙂
  10. I have also disabled Ctrl+Q in my desktop browser (Vivaldi) because I have occasionally pressed it and I did not like it. 🙂
  11. If I remember well, I had it at around 27 days but currently it is a bit below 4 days.
  12. I have received mine via FedEx but it was passed to a local courier here (Hungary) but definitively not came through Hungarian Post. However, I don't know if anything has changed since it was before the COVID situation.
  13. I don't know what are the differences between working and non-working devices, that is why I wrote the model number of my unit above. There can be protocol incompatibility or device-related issue (also at Pro1 side and also at head unit side) and even non-supported protocol by Pro1.
  14. Anyway, someone wrote here earlier about a problem with car bluetooth receiver because of too many learnt devices. So it may help if you could delete older, unused devices from receiver's memory.
  15. Anyway, it works well using my KMM-303BT receiver. (It doesn't mean it works on every receivers but it works on this specific one.) Handsfree mode and also audio playback function work well. Anyway, someone wrote here about some (lincence?) problem exists for a protocol which may be related.
  16. I would buy a phone from them if Pro1 would not exists and in the future, I would like to have a Pro2 instead of Astro slide. I like the idea of having vertical slider phones available but I find Pro1's solution to be much better.
  17. Have you tried Edge Null or a similar solution? For me, it has solved my problems with curved edge. However, I have also applied a case to its bottom...

    Basically, I would like to flash the other phone which is not working and I think when it enters to EDL mode then it should work, so basically either the phone is faulty (it's flash) or there is some differences between phones which may result this tool to time out. I don't really wanted to enter EDL mode using my phone (I may do it using fastboot or the way you wrote anyways), just to check if the cable which should force the phone to enter EDL mode is working. However, it did not work even with my phone which is working. However, the phone I would like to flash using EDL does nothi

    As far as I know, USB CDC-ACM has no baud rate option. So USB Virtual COM port (or ttyACM under Linux) is completely different than USB <--> RS232 converters like FT232, PL2303 and similar devices.

    Somehow I could not get it work, although, theoretically the cable was built the way it should work. The other cable I have ordered is still not here and I think it will take a while because of current state here... Now I have tried the cable both ways with the same result. Maybe I should try it using another cable but I still did not want to destruct another cable and I am unsure if it may help... My phone works well, so yes, I wanted to find out why it does not work using my friend's phone and found out it seems to be also not working on mine. I have a home-made cable so i

    I have experienced the same error message under Windows (using WinUSB) and "Connection timed out" under Linux. However, I was unsure if it is a problem with EDL state (as the phone falls back to EDL) or the phone itself. That phone is still with me (this is my friend's phone) so if you find something interesting, I would like to hear it. Also, I have tried to put my own phone to EDL mode using a home-made "deep flash" cable and it seemed to be not possible even though my phone has charging enabled when the phone is switched off so that icon has appeared and could not go to EDL that way
  23. I am also a developer of both hardware and software and I would not say that creating a phone from scratch is easy. You are right about the SoC itself does a lot of things but you should follow several considerations, select appropriate components and routing, so you have to have appropriate skills and experiences. Also, creating a phone from scratch can be relatively easy for an expert who is also familiar with multi-layer PCB design, but creating a good phone needs much more experience not speaking about good mechanical design and EMI / EMC considerations and the price of testing a
  24. It may also cause "random" reboots but it seems there is a problem somewhere in radio band switching which may cause reboot (there was a thread somewhere here where also another phone was mentioned which used to have the same problem on the same chipset). So it is not random but caused by certain circumstances. I had two unexpected reboots so far (since December) and both happened on the same road (motorway), same direction and near the same place where there are a few tunnels the road goes through. So some weaker signals are noticeable there. However, most of the times I traveled there
  25. I don't want to restart your debate, just would like to write my own opinion. Those of high risks usually do some precautions. So they apply for vaccination and try to avoid to catch the virus. However, for this virus, there is no vaccination yet and it can spread very quickly and causes pneumonia not as the result of weakening the person's immune system but directly. The biggest and worst part of this whole virus I think is the very long incubation period. So if you are ill, you can do many precautions to not infect others... but if you don't even know you are ill (yet), then yo
