But then I don't need a physical keyboard for that, do I? 😁

My volume buttons and sim tray are wobbling quite a bit. Power and shutter buttons do not have that problem. There is a tiny bit of play in the screen when closed but nothing in comparison to yours.

I would try to find some tiny rubberised adhesives to replace the ones hiding the screws at the four corners of the back of the screen. FxTec could provide them and maybe upgrade their production line.

Interesting observation. They have a couple of plastic bits above the keyboard to stop and amortize the screen when opening it. On Nokia E7, which has the same mechanism, those are on the back of the screen so they amortize opening and closing of the screen while also preventing that wobble. Something for FxTec to improve. I reckon you should be able to paste such plastic bits to the back of your screen to fix it.

How to you go about it? Could anyone with a rooted version try it out?

I don't have that greenish tint even when putting the brightness to zero. Possibly a bad batch of displays.

Is the Pro1 launcher open source by any chance?

Expediency could be behind that design decision. Keep in mind FxTec is a start-up. They surely had to make many time saving decisions to make sure they could deliver a product. I'm with you though. Ideally we should have had global shortcuts implemented as a background service.

Scratch that, all it does is disabling the haptic feedback.

Actually turning on the Battery Saver on Pro1 does disable the fingerprint reader as soon as you lock your phone and until you hit the power button to wake it up.

On Pro1 it does look like the fingerprint reader is off once the phone has been idle for some time. You have to hit the power button to wake it up, then scan your finger.

I find it painful to use in the dark. To me that's one issue that will be keeping me from switching to Pro1 as my main device. Does anyone have access to that Elephone U hardware to see if it does a better job at lowering the screen brightness using the same panel? I can't be bothered about colour accuracy TBH. That's about functionality and usability in dark environment. How can we get FxTec to prioritize that issue? I hope they can come up with a software solution for it.

?

Can anyone recommend a good weather app which supports landscape obviously and widgets?

That or increase or remove the possible number of attempts.

Except that to get there while typing with two thumbs you have to do a full wrist rotation and change your grip on the phone.

Alt key should have been in range of your right thumb to make alt + tab usable. I guess that's a prime candidate for remapping, somehow.

What are your recommendations for text and code editors on Android?

There it is.

I reckon if you tape a magnet to the back of the Pro1 screen you could get such case to close properly.

Chrome's spellchecker popup is blank making it unusable.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case. The matching magnet is in the case's back cover and I guess it relies on the phone itself not being too thick. Pro1 is just too thick for that design apparently.

I find the lower screen brightness still too bright, especially when compared to Huawei P30 Pro and the like. Would it be possible to improve the lower range of the brightness settings in software?

Nope, I did not mod it at all. It's a really thick and heavy case to start with. I have a thinner one from WIIUKA and that one just does not work.

The P30 Pro version of the following one, pictured above, fits nicely as far as thickness goes but it does not stay magnetically shut as it should: https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B07DDJY11V
