I glanced over it. I see that due to an odd number of letter keys in the middle row, that causes some questions of where the keys should be placed. I think I'm probably a bad test case, because my current phone isn't modeled after a PC keyboard either. I'll just have to use it to see if my thumb muscle memory needs adjusting or not. My thumb muscle memory is different than my 10 finger typing muscle memory anyway, due to my current keyboard being different than a PC layout.

Adding to what @Polaris wrote, from the Network Compatibility thread: You have to dial that code in the Pro1 to enable VoLTE for Verizon.

I can make a case for a 1/183 chance. There were 2 people who reported birthdays. The chances that one of those 2 matched me is found by plugging 2 into that forumula from wikipedia (and changing 365 to 366 for @EskeRahn's Dutch Leap Year). I get this decimal: 0.00545701574. The closest fraction (with a numerator of 1) is 1/183.

Yeah, but this isn't whether someone matches. It is whether someone matches me. :-) Update: They discussed this variant further down on the wikipedia page: ... Same birthday as youEdit Comparing p(n) = probability of a birthday match with q(n) = probability of matching your birthday In the birthday problem, neither of the two people is chosen in advance. By contrast, the probability q(n) that someone in a room of n other people has the same birthday as a particularperson (for example, you) is given by q(n) = 1-((366-1)/366)^n and for ge

They put them on the curved edges. But since the curved edges distort what is displayed, you won't notice them. Joking.

Thanks for explaining about the tab/caps/shift situation. I don't have a caps lock on my Relay 4G. The shift doubles as that with a double tap. I'll have to wait and see if the left shift is a problem for me. The right shift is exactly where it is on my Relay 4G (to the right of the up arrow). The left shift has more of a gap between the letters and the shift key, but it is also at the far left (same as on a PC keyboard or my Relay 4G), so if my brain is reaching far left, then it won't matter. If my brain is reaching one key over, then it might take some getting used to. Also, I ha

Thanks for explaining it. I appreciate that. I guess I've never used a phone that matches a PC keyboard exactly, so I've always adjusted my muscle memory for thumb typing vs my muscle memory for touch typing on a full sized keyboard. I do see the number shifted thing (and I think I remember that being mentioned in the past now), but I guess I don't type enough numbers in texting/instant messaging, emails, and online forums (my main uses for typing a lot of content, vs searching for things in google or minimal entry in other apps) where it seems like it would matter to me to glance at the ke

Can you explain the shifted issue to me? I've heard it mentioned many times and every time I go to look at the photos of the keyboard, I don't get it. Every time, I end up seeing that the Q and P are the same distance from left and right sides as each other. Is it that the QWERTZ keyboard has the Q one key closer to the left edge? This would mean people have to maybe reach up with their left thumb more than up to the left to get to the Q. Which, in theory, should be less thumb movement to get to the Q on the QWERTY than the QWERTZ. The middle keys would not be affected by this at all, be

I knew they were different, but wasn't sure if you were using the TWRP that the devloper was working on tweaking too. So, I guess we don't have a recovery for the Pro1 in the stock ROM. That is so odd. Is the Lineage Recovery able to red the encrypted data partition? UPDATE: Nevermind. Google is telling me that it can't do backups or read encrypted partitions. 😞

Lineage recovery = TWRP? Does that mean the built in recovery of the Pro1 doesn't have a factory reset, or is the built in recovery missing for you too, as someone else reported?

Does the Pro1 never connect to LTE anywhere or only in certain locations? Running an app like LTE Discovery (available in the play store) may help in determining which frequencies are being used on each phone.

Which app are you using to display the picture? Have you tried more than one? It may not matter, but just a thought. On my Relay 4G, with a super amoled screen, I don't see the same issue. The lower right in the picture is a bit problematic due to lack of details in the original, I think, but it does seem like colors are severely muted and details in the neck scales are lost in your photos of your pro1 screen. Were those taken with flash off?

Mine is the 9th too, so DutchFix and I get to jump the line for whatever random reasons we can dream up, related to this 1/365 1/183 chance occurrence. 😂

Is landscape lock some fxtec thing or an android thing? I feel for your bricked situation. I did the same thing on a tablet when trying to test out changing screen size so that we'd know if there was a way to create a screen size that would fit inside the Pro1 screen, such that the curved edges wouldn't be in play. It was a rooted tablet and I used a 3rd party app that allows mucking with such things. The Samsung bloatware and built in UI modifications failed horribly and I couldn't get into the tablet (launcher crashed and other stuff was crashing left and right). It took a herculean

Yeah, I forgot that's how it works in modern androids. I don't use them often enough and am always annoyed by the notifications being way down below the quick launch icons, so I'm surprised I forgot they were combined. Okay, I did some testing with a Pixel 1 running Android 10 and here is what I found: A) The home screen doesn't auto-rotate when you have auto-rotate turned on for the display in settings. Google messed this up with Lollipop and people were not happy. B) At some point, google fixed this with an update, but you have to enable auto-rotate separately in the launc

But landscape lock and auto-rotate off would cause it to auto-rotate to portrait?

I didn't see him pulling down notifications, but maybe I misunderstood which menu he was pulling down in the video. It looked like the menu you pull down to get easy access to some settings icons and then get to all settings by picking a gear icon at the bottom of the menu, outside the box that contains the easy access icons. Or are notifications and that menu the same in modern androids? I will try on a pixel with a modern version of android to see what it does. My relay 4G on Cyanogenmod 11 (kitcat) isn't exactly the same for some reason. 😉 On this phone, the notifications come

Do you mean did he have auto-rotate "off"? If not, why would auto-rotate on not cause the phone to auto-rotate based on orientation?

I would classify that as a work-around to a bug though, not the expected behavior.

If the default resolution doesn't show it, I would say it is a bug. If it is a built in android setting to change the resolution (and not a 3rd party rooted hack), I would like to say apps and system UI should adjust appropriately to be usable. I guess there could be extreme values that might be hard for some apps/uis to adjust to. But if google wants to provide a way to adjust resolution, maybe they should redesign that particular pulldown to allow scrolling the whole thing or always showing the bottom of the menu and scrolling the menu contents. I don't know if fxtec has any control over

Did you try turning the phone so that the bottom (when vertical) is lower than the top? That is how it works when I have auto rotate on in the phones I've uses. It actually seems odd to me that the launcher is showing up in portrait mode when you close firefox. Although, if the phone is lying flat, then maybe the accelerometer has to guess. Or an app/system might remeber the last orientation, since the accelerometer isn't sensing a change. If you close the keyboard, with firefox open, and change the orientation to portrait (not lying flat on the table), does it rotate? If not, just a

I agree that number 2 (as it pertains to that particular pull down shown in the video) looks like a bug, because it doesn't look like there is a way to scroll to get to the settings icon. Either the bottom of that menu should always be visible and the content of the pull down should scroll, or the whole thing should scroll so you can get to the bottom of the menu. I'll have to try that on a pixel in landscape and see how it behaves.

Did you try rebooting it? Have you done all the software updates? Have you tried factory reset? If none of those do it, then I'd guess the cable that connects the screen to the keyboard isn't getting signals through for some reason.

It was because it was related to the screen refusing to accept input until you reboot, I believe.

I grabbed the Pixel and took a look. It is in Settings->System->Gestures->System navigation There are 3 options: Gesture navigation, 2-button navigation, and 3-button navigation. In Gesture, there are no soft buttons at all. In 2-button, there is a virtual home button and an arrow button to the side of it. I don't see a mode that is like what the Pro1 has, with only the home button, but maybe that is a Pie vs Android 10 difference. 3-button is, of course, the normal 3 virtual buttons (which used to be physical!!!).
