As for the first mystery, I guess it wasn't low enough to boot properly, but as for the time it took to charge, I know that Lithium batteries can't be fast charged safely below 10-20%. It will actually charge very slowly when it's very low like this.

Another possibility is a bad or worn out battery. Under load battery voltage goes too low and the device just turns off.

I can't be sure of their motivation, but I believe it's about security, in case the database of this forum gets leaked or something else happens, their personal data are less likely to be part of it.

One other thing that complicates manufacturing of a physical keyboard phone: Maintaining different layouts, QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, etc. Even juggernauts like Samsung don't want this level of complexity, because not enough people want PKB in the first place. *Sigh*

And it's from the future! at least for folks in the Americas.

Given how tight it fits in the shell, yes breaking something is more likely. However, when a piece like this is soldered properly, it is more likely to peal the contact from the circuit board than break from the solder. On your picture we can see all three contacts on the circuit board pretty much intact. Knowing enough about how radio works (not an engineer) you can have too much solder and induce other problems as well, so it's fine balance.

Wow... I suspected something like this. I'm not sure why there's glue for those contacts on the board, but they should be soldered as well. To me this means soldering wasn't great (or non existent!) to begin with and will induce all sorts of noise for cellular and wifi signal inside the phone to begin with. This will definitely cause all sort of connectivity issues and explains why some was never able to use it properly with their provider or wifi and others could.

I believe you have the same issue that I ran into. There is a somewhat thick plastic over those buttons (or tack switches) on the frame behind those buttons, this plastic is adjusting the height so that outside buttons can press on those the tack switches. For me, the black plastic is gone for the both volume buttons and I destroyed the camera button to the point that it is unusable 😞. I was able to put two layers of electrical tape over these (one layer was enough, but a bit too thin). This hack works, but now I have to press them harder to make them work. One precaution I can

I am no longer sure for which one, but there are two microphones, one at the bottom and one on the back, near the camera. This rubber is for one of the two.

It could also be contacts for a I²C bus...

Hmmm, I hope it's just that the tracking number you received is not correct, for me the destination was correct. Maybe @Casey could shed some light on this ?

I ordered mine on April 14 and received it on the 20th. It was delivered by FedEx to Canada. Did you get a tracking number ?

Hi @Casey, If I may... I too would like to order a new battery for the Pro1, I replied a few days ago after a few months from my initial inquiry. Ticket ID #17277. Thank you in advance.

Interesting indeed. I have something that maybe related to share, I wasn't sure what to think of it before... For a while I'm now using magnetic USB C connector and cable and since then I did not have any charging issue on both my Pro1 and my Pro1X. By the number of contacts, I expect only USB 2.0 signaling is supported (just like the included charger). I am not sure what is really different except that connection is generally instant rather than relatively slow to reach all contacts.

Now we're talkin' 🙂 !

Great information here. I wish I had avoided the quick charge on my Pro1... I was wondering if anyone confirmed that the battery in the Pro1X is the same as in the Pro1 ? I wish to order it from IG, if it fits. I was also wondering if someone has ordered and received it lately ?

Interesting indeed, but what's puzzling to me is how much the OS is managing charging nowadays... I feel it should be less, but huh... progress I guess...

Pick your poison, basically. One is a master to convince you that everything is great. The other is little bit more honest in my opinion.

Hi, I was charging without any issues for about a month until the charging bug occurred again. When it did last week, after a reboot I was able to charge it, but every time I plugged it in the next time, it wouldn't charge again before a reboot. I tried to shut it down for about 2 minutes, the problem came back after the next charging cycle. Shut it down for 10 minutes, same thing. But after I shut it down for about 40 minutes, I can charge it for the last few days without an issue. I too didn't find any pattern on when this occurs, but I was wondering if something in hardware i

In Laval (near Montreal) in Canada.

Hi, It has been a few weeks without the charging issue, since I shutdown the device for a few minutes. I never shut in down normally, but one day it had many small issues at once, no fix on GPS, bluetooth not responding and disabled by itself, android auto didn't connect at all. By trying to reboot the thing, I mistakenly shut it down, but started it immediatly. At that time still no joy. Later, realising that I always keep it powered on, I shut it down for a few minutes and then I had no more charging issues for at least the last few weeks, same for my other issues. I wou

Hi, I just did the experiment and yep, contact or not it still detects when display is closed.

I don't know that there are other hardware revisions, but on mine I found a leaf switch near the hinge (see the image), it can be blocked from making contact to ground and would make the device think it's open permanently.

Hi tomb, I too have the same issue on my side, but it started a few weeks ago after an update of LOS 18.1. I originally installed 18.1 a couple of months ago and charging was working correctly back then. However, I haven't checked on Lineage's web site lately for this issue lately.

Hi, I have installed LOS 18.1 a few months ago. It's running great, along with my Fossil Sport Smartwatch. However, when setup my watch it wasn't able to get GPS location, I know that it will use the phone's GPS first, but this was a minor inconvenience... This week, I was trying other apps that uses GPS and they can't get a location either, the only app that was able to get my position was Waze. While all the other apps cannot get it, including GMaps. Already tried to change permissions and allowed it to use location when I started the app, no change. Anyone had this
