    Did you have a reason for disassembling a Pro1, or did you do it just to see how to do it? 🙂

    It's an urge. I need to disassemble everything. Don't lend me a Pen. I don't have a Pro1 yet, otherwise I would already done it.

    Actually I am of the opinion, that I might not have to open the lower part of the phone. In theory I would open the upper part with just the screen. But I will take pictures regardless of whatever I have to open to replace it.

    You are right, the first thing is separating the upper and lower assembly, meaning you do not have to access the lower part/battery to replace the screen.

    Sorry Eske. You'll get pictures soon.

    My sideloaded Netflix lets me download for offline (my bootloader is unlocked-- haven't rooted yet).

    Interesting. Have a Certified device which lets me Download Netflix from the play store, Bootloader is locked, but downloading content is not possible, safetynet does not pass completely though. I could not care less to find a solution.

    That reminds me of the fact that there's another smartphone on its way to the household I live in (which is now set to arrive on December 27th, even though the manufacturer said January), a Fairphone 3, the modular design of which probably sets a benchmark for a repairable phone. If I had no need for a keyboard, it might have been my next phone, too. 

    I could not even get a replacement USB port for fairphone or a similar product called shiftphone..

     They also have a habit of locking accounts of sellers if suddenly a lot of money comes in, among other issues. It's not a good idea for them I believe.

    This is actually what happened to Fxtec, if there were Credit Card issues some of the preorderes (including me) were manually opted-in to do PayPal. Their account was blocked shortly after, they had to unfreeze the funds with PayPal, which I believe can be a nightmare.

    PayPal is very consumer-friendly, sure, but a PITA for sellers.

    Does LineageOS work? 

    I was looking into what ubuntu touch needs and that was a requirement and an open source kernel.

    Found the kernel https://github.com/sailfish-on-fxtecpro1/kernel-fxtec-pro1 just need the lineage os 😄

    (Got that info from here http://docs.halium.org/en/latest/porting/first-steps.html)

     

    LOS is already under developement. The initial plan was a release as soon as the Pro1 is available.

    I'll try stock unrooted with TWRP first, which is enough to change system files (adblock hosts, restore Appdata..). 

     

    And on Topic: Keep it up, F(x)Tec!

  7. It's next to me when I sit down I don't sit on it, And usually I'm not topless, so my Shirt covers the case. It should fit a bit tight, so easy pickpocketing or losing the phone when I decide to continue my walk on my hands should not be an issue.

    Well, sure there might be pickpocketers out there who could teach me a better lesson. But I'm confident to say that this is not my main concern

  8. Still possible, since we don't know if everyone included in the first batch received an E-Mail. My estimation is, that Fxtec arranged the first shipments already, working with their order list, and as promised filtered for IGG backers, forwarded these order infos to the fulfillment centers and sent out the Mails. This way the distribution logistics can quickly forward the devices to the end users as soon as they arrive. If all those orders are processed, Fxtec will continue with filtering their orders and continue giving these info to the fulfillment centers. I'm sure not everyone in the first batch received their Mail yet.

     

    Edit: That assumption is now confirmed to be wrong.

  9. I dared to get a belt holster pouch thingy, without knowing if it would annoy me to have. I tried carrying the pouch now to see if that is a solution for me, and I'm quite surprised, the only time I notice the hoslter is when I get in my car. It's made of leather, sits safely on the belt, the cover is closed by magnets and feels very soft inside.

    Everyone was surprised when they announced shipping to pre-orders on Oct. 29. Nobody forced them to give that concrete date. Likewise nobody forced them to claim batches would be sent within days, and that pre-orders would be completed by end of october.

    That's not entirely true, people were in the same state as they currently are, expecting shipping times and getting angry because of an unclear situation. F(x)tec has been under the community's pressure for months now. They were not forced to give the 29th as a date, but they were kind of forced to give any date, to reuse your words.

    Well i dont understand one thing. you guys worried about the screen in case it drops.

    but since pro1 who body is made of plastic so i dont think its a good idea to think about dropping it. because apart from screen it can also crack the plastic body.

    EskeRhn can shed some light on how tough the plastic body is?

    I think there is not alot of plastic at all. The frame, Hinge and back cover are metal-ish. And the mid frame where the pcb is held is a mixture of metal and plastic too.

     

    /edit: too slow. the community is on fire.

    @Noir Very kind of you, but i won't take anything from someone, that would be selfish. I do consider that they owe us the case and earbuds, and the fact that they failed to communicate about the absence of the case with the phone at shipping (not something they just discovered ) tell me they didn't learn a thing from this forum complain.

    I see your point, but since that is an offer from myself, there is nothing to feel selfish about. Offer still stands.

  13. Even Screenrecorder apps fail to get the Audio recorded and can only record Mic-sound. I remember DU Screen recorder being one of those, and on stock roms the audio recording feature was only possible with certain manufacturers/OSes. Root helped there.
