    dumb question asked too late for Pro 1x

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I was curious about the availability of the replacement LCDs (Elephone U Pro display) as I hadn't checked in quite a while.  The result is a bit alarming.  Aliexpress, which used to be a reliable source (the little shops would run out, but other little shops would pop up with it), now seems to be completely wiped out on these.  In fact the only link that came out of searching that still worked was this:

    https://www.amazon.com/Jaytong-Replacement-Elephone-Pro-Assembly/dp/B0B6362SSK

    It is double to triple the price it used to be on Aliexpress, and the seller's ratings are not stellar, although it does look like Amazon will handle customer service.  Then, of course, there's the issue on the Pro1x of not being able to properly set the touch margins if you don't have a pro1 because the patch that does it doesn't work on anything later than Android 10 and the Pro1x can not use anything earlier than Android 11.   I luckily have a few of the Aliexpress lcds in my closet. But it looks grim unless someone has another source or we find another screen that's compatible. I think the latter is unlikely.

    LineageOS 22.x Official Release for Pro1 (QX1000)

    This is a ping-post, as i updated the above post multiple times, and the conclussion this far is

    The 22.2 bug seems to be related to the presence of a SIM card!!

    So I took my pro1 and pro x and switched Sim cards..  This confirmed that, in fact, my Pro 1 is unable to do calls anymore.  There was no problem with either sim card in my Pro1x. So, it may be that my good battery performance on the Pro1 is due to the fact that it can't use a SIM.  I sort of don't care enough to do anything about it as I do not ever use my Pro1 as a phone. (I rarely use my Pro1x as a phone and it works).

    This also suggests that, to  the degree that it is a LOS 22 problem, it does NOT seem to be a problem with the Pro1x version of LOS 22.

    Round and round we go... 😉

    Well, and this will probably be my last comment on this unless something changes-- I updated both my Pro1 x  and Pro1 (in that order) today to the latest OTA updates.  On both I downloaded the updates and performed the install and reboot.  I also looked around on both to find some settings (the same on both). Otherwise, I just let them sit.  Both started out at 85% battery (the max I allow them to charge).  7 Hours later, the pro1x was 73% and the Pro 1 was 75%.  I'm going to declare pretty confidently that I don't have the battery drain problem.

    Well. I'm completely baffled by the phone on my Pro1 not working.  My Pro1x works fine, so I don't think it;s a LOS problem.  Since I almost never use my Pro 1 as a phone (so I don't actually know when this problem occured), I'm not highly motivated to trouble shoot it.  Lol.  If anything occurs to me I'll let  you know.  I will have to get around to trying out a new SIM card.  Both my Pro1 and Pro1x are on T-Mobile, although the SIM in the pro1x is Ting.

    Bands for US T-mobile are 4 (1700/2100 MHz), 5 (850 MHz), 66 (extension of Band 4), 12 (750 MHz) and 71 (600 MHz).  I don't think the Pro1 handles either 71 or 66, but I might have that wrong.

    Neither the Pro 1 nor the Pro1x show the battery drain problem

    I use "3" in Denmark, and AFAIK they use B1(2100MHz) and B8(900MHz) for UMTS as well as B3(1800MHz).

    Those of you that tested 22.2 without the issue, do you have a sim inserted, and if so, what bands are you using?

    I have a sim in. Have something I'm in the middle of, but will get the bands for you later this morning.  It is T-Mobile US. But here is the curious thing... I don't use my Pro1 or Pro1x for calls, but they have sims and have always been capable if I needed to.  I've suddenly discovered my Pro1 can't make calls,  (my Pro1x does just fine still). I will investigate this further later.

    One thing just occurred to me.  I received a free battery replacement in 2022. I had sent in my Pro1 to London for a warranty screen repair at the end of 2021 a month before my warranty ended. They accepted the repair as under warranty, but I had to wait 6 months until they had screens again for the Pro1x.  So when they replaced the screen 6 months later, they replaced my battery as a "thank you" for my patience.

    Could it simply be that your batteries are just degrading?  Maybe not, but I guess it makes it hard to use my test results.

    Well, I don't have any fancy battery app analysis readouts, but here's what I did and the results.  The takeaway is I am not seeing the battery drain on my Pro 1,

    I went hooked my Pro1 up for adb (to my Manjaro ThinkPad). I rebooted the Pro1 into recovery and did a factory reset. I then sideloaded the May 3rd LOS 22.2 zip, rebooted into recovery and flashed Magisk28 and the Feb 2025 MTG, I did a system reboot. Finally I did a simulated battery pull,  I set up a few apps and settings, including setting max charge to 85%.  I made sure I had SU,  At that point, the  battery was at 77% (it was at 85% when I started this).  So I hooked up the Pro1 to charge until it was back up to 85%.  I then set it aside (I may have done a last couple of things).  Now, 6 hours later, screen off, it's at78% (wifi and data on).

    I certainly don't have it fully set up, but that seems pretty reasonable to me.

    So, I have no idea what's going on.  But  it can't be purely LOS 22.2, nor does it seem to be MTG,

    hmm...you have problem after upgrade to 22.2...thats wierd. 

    I am from - i am not sure - january on 22.2 oddsolution and battery looks same as on 22.1.

    Official and unofficial are same i mean - only on unofficial are integrated gapps

    It's too early to say.but almost an hour later, I am not seeing excessive battery drain on my Pro1 after updating from 22.1 to 22.2.  I did a simulated battery pull right after updating.  If this continues, I will have to further experiment because this is a Google-less installation.  Cornholio's comment got me thinking-- what if the problem is actually MTG?  That is the primary difference between Official and Oddsolution. 

    It would be odd if that were true because I am not seeing the battery drain at all on my Pro1x, but it was a much older version of MTG that I first installed on that and has only been updated by Google.

    If battery performance does fine on my Pro1, I will try a sideload install with the newest MTG package.

    Lineage-22.2-20250428-NIGHTLY-pro1x with April 5th security patch installed smoothly via OTA. MindTheGapps15, and root was maintained.

    I think the April 1st dates in previous posts was a typo I kept perpetuating.  Lol.

    So far well behaved, battery-wise.  Lost 3% in 2 hours including activity post-update.

    Edit: Looks good.  7 hours, yes, mostly idle, but  has only dropped 10%. That's par for the course given that I have background mail, dropbox ans calander syncing.

    I think I am also seeing it on my Pro1x. I'm testing this week-end.  But I also have been getting unusual battery drain on my Pixel 7 Pro.  Coincidence? Or is the problem an Android 15 update problem and not a purely Lineage problem.  I did a simulated battery pull on both devices (to clear out janky stuff going on and will watch both.

    I am actually seeing much better battery performance after the simulated battery pull.  My Pro1x only dropped from my max of 85% to 77% in 7 hours, and my Pixel only dropped to 80% with quite a bit of use.  I'll keep monitoring just to make sure I'm not jumping to conclusions, But I have to admit simulated battery pull is my go-to for weird stuff happening.

    However, now I need to try it with my Pro 1, which I haven't used much for a couple of weeks.

    I can confirm the issue with the energy usage, since LOS 22.2

    F(x)tec Pro-1 X QX1050 not booting past fastboot? screen

    I don't know if I have a suggestion, but I suspect more information is needed. Is this a Pro1x that was formerly working ok and this just suddenly happened?  Or did it do this when you got it.  If the former, what kinds of things were you doing with the phone? Is it Stock Android or did you flash some other ROM?  Anything you can tell people will help them decide if they know something you can try.
