I don't either, as can be seen in my screenshots. Always frustrating when I pick up a phone that has those enabled. *grumble*
-
Considering that, I don't know why I couldn't use Nova. Sometime when I have more time, I will try it and see why I couldn't use it. Does it allow grouping icons?
-
Oh, are you using some sort of split screen mode so you can see 2 apps side by side?
-
-
I *think* my icons are the same size in either direction, but I can't be sure. No labels in landscape, of course.
-
On my home screen, in landscape, I have 3 rows with 4 icons across (not counting the special ones that are present on every home screen). If I rotate it to portrait mode, I get the same 3 rows and same 4 icons in the same order. Is that what does not happen on your Pro1X?
-
We won't kick you out of the club for using it. Well, guess I should only speak for myself. You know how those Danes are. 😁 (*waits for the response from the Dane*) With Nova, how do you search for apps by typing the name? And does it have an app drawer that you get to by pulling up on the bottom of the screen?
-
I thought there was a chance it came over when I did a backup and restore with swiftbackup. Or maybe just its settings. Either way, I am using QuickStep on the Pro1X. Is there some difference you noticed on QuickStep for the Pro1 vs Pro1X?
-
This may be why I had to go back to quickstep (because the others didn't handle rotating well). Or it could have been they didn't have the pull up and search for an app functionality. It was too long ago now for my brain to remember.
-
I am stuck on my quickstep. I have tried others, but always come back to it. But for testing, I could do that to see if it is implicated in the freeze, if the other options fail to uncover the time thief. 😁 It can happen when I am not doing much of anything. Now, something in the background could be spiking the cpu without me knowing it. To me it seems like something that is trying to do something, failing, and waiting for a timeout. I'll report back when I have time to do some testing.
-
That was my plan -- to start with those that require super user. They are listed in the magisk app and su can be removed from them there. I have about a dozen or so. And none of them are critical for day to day use, so I should be able to test it fairly easily. If that doesn't work, I will find an app to show me running processes/apps, and after a freeze, I will capture what was running (especially those running hidden in the background that I didn't launch). I can try disabling some of those. Of course, it isn't an issue I can reproduce, so it might take some time to track down th
-
Seeing as how over 100 people have viewed this and nobody has commented that they have this issue, maybe it is an app that is doing it and is more unique to me. I might have to try disabling apps to see if it goes away. It has happened since I started using my Pro1X, but I brought over a lot of apps from my Pro1.
-
I think I saw others report this quite a while ago, but I couldn't find posts referencing it through the search function. My Pro1X will freeze for 30 to 40 seconds from time to time. I would guess it happens 1 to 3 times per day. No buttons respond when it is in this state. When it comes out of this state, everything works. This is with a rooted phone, running the stock android OS. Do others have this issue? Has anyone found a cause/solution?

I believe this is the one I was using on my Pro1X: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-8-7-250-494820638-44-release/

The screen flex cable on my Pro1X went bad (and no response from info@fxtec.com about a replacement). I am using the flex cable from my Pro1. The screen works, but the GCam and snapdragon camera apps crash whenever I run it. My assumption is it can't communicate with the selfie camera through the cable for some reason (missing/different wire paths), even though the cable plugs into the ports on each end successfully. I am able to use Open Camera, but there is no way to take a selfie with it. I am guessing it is gracefully failing to communicate with the selfie camera. Open Camera, with t

Great job! What was the mAh showing before the swap? And does the new battery show the same specs on its packaging as the old one? What was wrong with the old one?

Pro¹ X – state of production and delivery
david replied to Rob. S.'s topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I saw the email. Very disappointing regarding batteries. If the bundle a person paid for is batteries, then replacing them with earphones doesn't really help. I doubt the storage story as well. -
I tested the Mi 6 battery with the Pro1 phone and it ran off that battery fine. I don't remember if I tested charging the Mi 6 battery through the phone. At the time, I didn't have a working usb port. I have since received a working usb port. The phone is still disassembled, but I had to rob the screen/selfie ribbon cable for my Pro1X. Therefore, I won't be able to use the pro1 screen to see the current charge. I could probably test charging the battery through the USB port by getting the current charge from my external charging board and then try to charge it from the phone connector
-
I posted this in another thread, but it is relevant here too. The Pro1X connector is compatible with the Huawei P9 phone's battery.
-
I don't know if anyone else has found the answer to this in the past year, but I now know what connector the Pro1X battery is compatible with. I had to disassemble my Pro1X for a non-battery related issue (bad display ribbon cable). It is a Huawei P9 connector. That may be used by other phones too, but that is the label on one of my charging boards. You can see this as port 24, on the green charging board, in the image in the second post in this thread. My other charging board, the blue Sunshine SS-909, also has this connector on the board labeled C1. It is the 3rd port from the bottom (

I have been trying to get the ChatGPT app to work on my rooted Pro1X. For a while now, it would show as unavailable in the Play Store (presumably because it is rooted, as per online sources). Today, I saw that it was finally available. However, after installing it, when I try to log in, I get an error "Something went wrong". It also mentions checking the date and time, etc. When trying to get this working, I somehow reset something (I was resetting Google play store and play services and various other settings that others online have done in order to get the app to work). Now, when I

Continued from previous post... Voltage up to 4.02. And finally reaching 4.19. After being at 4.19, the board continues to run, but the charge light goes out. I think when the light is out, it might still be trickle charging to the battery, with constant voltage and lowered current. I say this, because the reported voltage on the voltmeter was still 4.19, yet when I unplug the USB charger from the wall, I get this drop to 4.17 volts. It is also possible that drop is simply from the load of the board on the battery. Either way, it shows that the batter

A little more hackery and results regarding the batteries... Note/Reminder: We are dealing with raw LiPo batteries (no built in battery management system (BMS) protection circuit). These are a dense source of energy. Fires, explosions, and toxic fumes are possible. Don't cross the streams! (don't short circuit the positive and negative tabs on the batteries) I ordered an Adafruit Feather HUZZAH (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2821). This can run off a 3.7/4.2 volt LiPo battery, like our phones do. And, more importantly, it has a smart charging circuit, so it can charge th
