I don't know what type of glue he used, but if I want to use a strong (and hard) glue, I use a two-component glue like DevCon (made in the USA) which is really strong and S-31 is water-clear but advised to be used in a well-ventilated place or maybe Uverapid for example (made in Hungary) but that is not 100% clear... Basically these are two-component "epoxy resin"-based adhesives which are usually very strong glues. DevCon is my favourite being really strong, has a long shelf-life and remains usable even long time after opened (if you not bought it from old stock). S31 has an about

I remember when F(x)tec has announced the chipset change, there were some users complaining about the lack of external output by chipset. ...then F(x)tec told they have received a comfirmation about the chipset supports external display. However, I don't know who told this information to F(x)tec and if that info was true or not...

Which phone do you have? Pro1 or Pro1X? Pro1 supports HDMI out but not with its initial firmware (it was started working after an upgrade later). Pro1X apparently does not support HDMI yet, hopefully they will solve this problem in a later software upgrade.

It seems to be a common problem with Pro1X which I hope can be fixed by a software update later - maybe that is also the reason you have not received a reply yet... a potential firmware upgrade may fix the problem but they may not know when it is expected or if it can be really solved by a firmware upgrade...

I think it is harder to obtain that part but it worth a try to ask if F(x)tec has spare items. Otherwise, I would pull the ribbon cable of the sensor - that way the phone itself would remain usable without excessive battery drain. However, it needs opening the bottom part of the phone - the worst part of assembling/disassembling of the phone is the ribbon cable of fingerprint sensor anyway as that is the cable what users can easily break in case the lack of attention.

What is the problem of your Pro1? F(x)tec also seems to have some spare parts.

I have recently ran into a similar issue on my Pro1. I have installed AnyDesk which has installed a service and I had no FinQwerty-like layouts working until I have found that application was the cause of my issue and disabled its service. (Pro1, LineageOS 18.1 here.)

That case I would glue it back to the mat (but not to the white thing below the mat - that was what I tried to express). 🙂

Basically that part should be the same except the print of the keys (layout difference is only a difference of printing). I didn't examined the keyboard precisely but no, keys don't fell out, black keyboard is generally one piece of material. However, it may happen you have a key removed from the base of black keyboard material and it did not come out fully from it (leaving a hole in place). So I saw a keyboard pad which had a sticky bottom and there was a white part at phone base where keyboard was glued to using that sticky bottom (it feels similarly to a double-sided adhesive

Look at these parts: There is a white "foil" near the bottom-left corner. That should be at the phone side and it should be intact. Above it, there is the keyboard itself which you have a missing key as far as I understood well. That (black) keyboard has a double-sided tape at back, so its bottom is sticky (you can remove it using some heat). So I would try to fix the missing key in the black part and not gluing to the white part which should be kept intact. Edit: When I have disassembled my Pro1 the first time, I have also removed springs (it was not a good idea

Basically keyboard mat should be one piece (all keys on one plate) which are glued (using doble-side tape) on top of button mebranes covered by a foil. I would not glue it using a super glue as it will stick on top of the foil which covers the membrane so it will not remain in stock condition. If you remove display assembly, keyboard mat can be removed by applying some heat using a heat gun and some mechanical help using a tool. After removing mat, I would try to fix the missing key somehow - maybe using a sticker which has relatively strong adhesive (it should be elastic and that

It depends on what the problem is. At first, I would think the UFS / flash IC may failing which most probably means a mainboard repacement would be needed... or if not replacement, a replacement of a BGA part of the mainboard which does not seem to be an easy task if we are speaking about a replacement mainboard of Pro1. However, strange things may happen - I don't know how USB panel has caused unbootable phones (except triggering EDL mode by a failed connection), so who knows if it may cause other problems as well...

I am receiving IGG udates (and I post it here if it is not already there) - my Pro1X order is already fulfilled, however, I have a separate "Enthusiast" order which has shortly disappeared from perks but it may happen that is the reason I am still receiving these updates.

I have uploaded recovery of last official LineagaOS 18.1 here.

The QWERTY version of Pro1 had a modified keyboard layout where non-alphanumeric keys were arranged differently (like "\", "[", "]", "`", etc), this is why we called it shifted QWERTY. As I did not like this mixed-up keyboard layout and in Europe, I had an option to order my Pro1 with QWERTZ layout instead, I went to that direction. So QWERTZ layout of Pro1 is closer to a normal QWERTY keyboard than its shifted QWERTY version itself. If we are speaking about Pro1X, F(x)tec has dropped this shifted QWERTY solution and went for standard QWERTY instead, so it is much more international h

They haven't reinvented the wheel - kernel module is handling the keyboard matrix through an IO expander IC (aw9523b) and reporting keypresses to kernel. Most of the keys are handled through that expander while there are a few modifier keys which are handled directly - it is important because matrix arrangement also causes problems decoding multiple keypresses at once. There is a physical layout what kernel module handles (assigning scan codes to keypresses) and a logical layout which assigns scan codes to letters / numbers /etc. When I have switched to LineageOS, I had some confr

The keyboard handler code (kernel module) for Pro1 of LineageOS is open source. I doubt they have changed anything related in Pro1X anyway (I mean in hardware). ...but that is the low level handling code which has nothing to do with layouts (except it has a feature to export different key codes on pressing yellow arrow for example) but it is also not necessarily the same code used in stock OS of Pro1X. Otherwise, after having appropriate key codes for key presses, layouts should be handled in OS level (Android part).

I doubt anyone of us has further information about anything happens in the background - we are also waiting for an official information. What @Hook has tried to tell this forum was created for communication between users and official staff may not necessarily reading threads here, however, they wrote in this forum time to time. Basically this thread was initiated independently of official staff as a user to user base of information sharing about production and delivery. What I can say is they have really started delivery (I have already received my Pro1X). I hope they will wri

...and this is a Nokia N900 near a Pro1X. That has a key size of about 6x7mm and keys are neck to neck in every directions like a grid which makes it strange for first look. Also the number of keys was much smaller - still it was a very useful keyboard (and Maemo was a really good OS by that time).

Not highly precise measurement but a usual key of Pro1(X) is around 5x8mm as per my measurement. Top row is about 4mm in height. ...but I suggest you to try a similar keyboard in real life instead, as keys are much smaller than your thumb but still you can feel them accurately. Also, Nokia N900 had similar keys (a bit smaller size) which was still a good keyboard. So it is not easy to decide if it is too small prior of trying. Also, a bigger problem may be the phone (thus, keyboard) width [landscape] which may lead to some inconvenience if you have small hands (smaller than

That is why some of us put these updates also in "state of production and delivery" thread here.

I had a similar problem - payed in EUR through Curve which has deducted in HUF, but received an invoice in GBP. These currencies have moved against each other in the last two years, especially HUF, but I sent them every related info and declared the amount deducted from my HUF account First they told me in their first reply that my declared value is not even close to the value declared in invoice and in shipping note but I have explained the two years difference, originally deducted amount and F(x)tec's location of UK (regarding their declared currency). So they have finally accept

I haven't tested these things deeply but I had phone calling problems when range indicators were good and I also had two x near my SIM card indicators. As far as I read, there is a beta firmware which already has some improvements, so it may be a matter of time...

Basically sensors and buttons are at the same positions, only camera has a small difference (camera of Pro1X is out a bit by design).

Unfortunately, firmware has to be polished, so my advice is to wait for a firmware update which may improve some of the problems...
