KingOfTerrible

Hello, In the USA, AT&T is going to shut down their 3G network in Feburary 2022 so that they can re-purpose the bands for 5G usage. I've known about this for a while and didn't care since I know that my FxTec Pro1 (QX1000) is 4G and I'm connected to 4G right now; I'm provisioned for VoLTE. However, I received another text message from them today saying my phone won't work on their network when they shut down 3G and they are going to send me some random phone to use instead. So I called them, gave the the IMEI and they are repeating the same information that it's not compatible

Maybe a stupid idea, but can you superglue the broken corner back together? I'm still working on getting a usable 3d printed case. I'm working with one of the "manufacturers" (aka a guy with a 3d printer) on treatstock to edit the @LIMA design a bit to get it to fit my phone better and not pop off. If I get something working I will share what I can with the community.

So I have a problem like this where after maybe 2 days, some unknown keypresses or whatever are making those sounds very low / none at all, yet the slider settings look fine. I just reboot the phone. I don't know the cause but have thought it may be caused by me lowering the volume as some point, hitting DND by mistake, or one of the apps I have on my phone like the situations app. Reboot has always fixed it for me so I didn't spend more time investigating it. Let me know if reboot when you experience this helps.

@LIMA thanks for the work you have done. So far your work seems to be the closest to a working custom case that's not a hack job of something off the shelf. I will try ordering a print of the "fxtecpro1bumper_notch_v10" version. Any thoughts on the differing "infill" amounts? As a non 3d printing enthusiast (I've been avoiding it as I could see myself wasting a lot of money), my understanding is that infill percentage is how much you fill the gaps/voids in the design. However, with this being a phone case molded to the phone, I can't see there begin much void space. So maybe the infi

I see it now...but it wasn't there right away. I guess I expected that they should have made it a hidden perk like the XDA email did (which is still available and better pricing then 680.

I just received an email saying "For those that missed out on our Super Early Bird perks, we have now added another super special perk. Get them before they go!" However, I see nothing different.

So I supported / bought one of the 599 perks, but I'm a bit pissed to miss out on the 499 pricing. I may cancel the order after some thought. Really the only difference is extra memory / storage, I don't think it's really worth the 599 price considering I already have the Pro1; I'd feel much better with the $100 savings. My Pro1 has been good to me other then still no boot screen / black screen on restarts until I hit the power button a few times, and still no great case option.

@Maplesteel who did your 3d printing? Was it Hudson Creative Group? They did mine attempt (see below), but it didn't fit right. @LIMA so I downloaded your files on Oct 13th and ordered them to be printed though Craft Cloud after @Maplesteel mentioned it. I sent the 3 files you had at the time (rear: fxtecpro1case_v10; front: fxtecpro1bumper_v3; front: fxtecpro1bumper_notch_v7_WIP) and had them produced by Hudson Creative Group in PLA (black, 40% infill) and PETG (translucent blue, Infill 40%). None of the PLA ones fit my pro1; I might be able to snap them on for a second but they c

My packaging is different and it also has the name printed on a sport on the bottom side. But it could still be pumped out of the same factory in China. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen items which are exactly the same with different names printed on them / different packaging.

Looks a lot like that CoverON branded case that I'm using. Corners are same and I've got the matted / textured long sides

When the device is powered off, you press the power button for a few seconds to turn it on. There is no vibration, no led, nothing on the screen to show that it acknowledged the button press to power on. After say 30 seconds, I expect that it should have booted up. I have to do one of the following to get the display working: - press the power button 1-3 times to get the display up; I noticed last night while I was attempting this that the first time seemed to always make that "turn off click sound" like it thinks the screen is active already and you are hitting power to turn it off; t

So I finally attempted the suggestion I got from fxtec support (factory reset from the normal settings app) and then the suggestions mentioned here to totally reflash the device. it took a while to figure out just how to do that since my bootloader was in the locked state. Anyway my original issue still persists. I don't have a clue what to do here.

Sorry I was trying to remove all the extra junk from the address and just get it down to the item number style. I'll keep it in mind for the future. yep with that one I ordered a P30 Pro; I know it's not going to come with the right piece to clip the phone into, but my plan was to use the CoverON bumper since gsmarena said this P30 Pro is slightly larger then P20 Pro

I'm really hesitant to do this since I'm worrying about bricking the unit or losing my data and app config that took me a long time. I'd imagine the the fxtec logo is the splash.img file. What would you think about just doing the splash one only? Have you ever tried flashing a single file and not the whole script from @Waxberry / not doing the erase userdata part?

So I enabled developer mode and turned on adb debugging. I confirmed the device was connected by "adb devices" then issued your command. The screen went black and never showed anything else / no indicator light. My computer made noise so I tried "adb devices" again and that failed. I tried "fastboot devices" and that worked. Still nothing on the Pro1 screen so I tried the volume up / down; nothing happens. In fear of not knowing what I currently had selected, instead of pressing the power button, I tried opening the device a few times, but nothing happened. Again out of fear for pressin

Using OpenCamera on Pro1, has anyone had this happen: - tap the on screen shutter button (not keeping finger there) - OpenCamera takes 20+ photos, I guess thinking that you are holding you finger there, but you aren't - you press elsewhere on the screen / home button app switcher thing (don't know the proper android name) to get it to stop - reviewing your photos (using google photos app or otherwise) shows all the pictures and your hand moving away or whatever (it's not 20 of exactly the same image) Happened to me twice in the past week (I've only been using Pro1 as daily device

Thanks for the link. The UK one says it doesn't ship to USA, but the China one does. Last week I started ordering more to try and I ordered this1 and this2 since I couldn't find yours but this seems like a similar clasp at least. I didn't think about adding measurements to my original post, but it's a good idea: 162 mm long x 82 mm wide x 26 mm (+2 on clasp area) thick (if you can trust someone who uses imperial system). The CoverON bumper by itself looks to be 158 mm long x 77 mm wide x 10 mm thick (trying to measure while mounted in flip case).

So I know that I got it into fastboot once, 2 days ago. I'm pretty sure that I saw the FxTec logo so I knew when to stop holding the buttons. I did this so I could run the command to allow for charging while off (found in another thread): fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1 But right now I can't seem to get the device into fastboot at all. I first tried between 10-15% charge. Because of this google result, I thought well maybe I need to be above 30 to get into fastboot. So I charged it above 35 (currently 36 as I type this); I couldn't get into fastboot still. Maybe I need to be at a

When I initially got my Pro1 device, when you pressed the power button the FxTec logo would appear and slightly animate while android booted. This gave you a clear signal that something was happening. But now I've totally lost that somehow. When the device is off and you press the power button in for a few seconds: - no vibration - no led light - screen appears totally off / nothing displayed - I either have to wait until I open the keyboard or receive a notification for the screen to light up - after the initial power button press to start the boot, pressing the power button agai

While we all wait for a production quality case, 3D printed case or some other optimal protection, I had to figure out a case solution that would work for me in order to being using the Pro1 as my primary device. For me this currently means a flip / book style case until something for covering the screen / top half of the body exists to mate with a bumper that fits the bottom half. I purchased a lot of cases intended for a Huawei P20 Pro since early testing indicated that was a good fit for the bottom / keyboard half. The Huawei P20 Pro is overall a thinner device, so more then half of

So I think I've settled on the email and notes apps that I am going to use going forward so I wanted to share. @EskeRahn please add to the primary post. Email: BlueMail (apk: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.bluemail.mail) (developer site: https://bluemail.me/) (reviews 4.6 from 500k people) (5 million + downloads) - free and ad-free - support multiple accounts from different sources - supports gmail oauth2 / using google accounts setup on your device - widgets for each account that update with unread count, message preview widgets too - not open source, whic

I second what @Hook recommended. I've been using Classic Shell for years. I know it's out of active development and someone else took it over I guess as Open Shell, but I'm using classic shell 4.3.1 with my windows 10 at work. I am holding onto Win 7 at home, where I also use it since the "new menus" are terrible IMHO.

@EskeRahn is it true that we sort of need to keep using the stock launcher? If I switched to something else, what do we lose? I assume it has mostly to do with the auto orientation change when opening the slider keyboard, and the little rotate button that appears to force a change? There are so many threads here but I think we are missing out on a summarized "here's a bunch of stuff to know for newbies" post for those who recently got their devices.

Is this possible on the pro1? I don't see it anywhere in the settings. I have this functionality on my Priv and my Samsung tablet. It looks like pressing the power button or fingerprint would be the only ways currently?

Thanks, that works... But I guess then there is no way to get android to stop bugging you to setup the keyboard?? Immediately after i went back to default (I had the keyboard open), I got the notification. If so then finqwerty is a must it seems.
