    I doubt anyone here thinks this Crowdfunding didn't go wrong. Hahaha, I probably have accepted it is unlikely I will see my second Pro1x, but still don't see any advantage to "accepting defeat" other than for some reason making you less agitated. Not really a motivator for me. ;)

    Again we have no idea what, if anything, they are doing. I did notice, while making no mention of their troubles, in some of the Dubai coverage, the Pro1/1x are featured prominently. It would be possible to have investment in phone development of more than just a Web3 phone. It could include getting the Pro1x out and possibly the development of a new keyboard phone model. No, I'm not suggesting that is what is happening. I have no idea what is happening. We don't actually even know if they have investment in the Web3 phone yet-- they may be shopping that now (was that model Adrian flashe

    While that's true in a long term business plan sense, in the short run monthly warehousing fees might be (barely) sustainable whereas starting up with a new logistics firm might require a lot of capital up front, for which, if they are working on it, they would need some additional investment.

    I don't think the problem is necessarily whether they have possession of the devices. I think the main problem is that they haven't been able to solve getting them shipped. So what are the possible holdups there. Again, this is just speculation, I have no facts. However I suspect that, as Expansys was dying (they are gone from the web), they demanded ridiculous amounts of money more to do the shipping they were already contracted to do. FxTec has said they did get the stock moved back to the factory. Lets assume that's true (might not be but that long ago last update used past tense

    As you can see from reading through the last couple of pages of this thread, many (most?) have not received their orders. Some have (I have), They have been silent for a while so there is nothing we can do but guess. We don't even know numbers. Are there people who received them out there but don't come to forums? Certainly, far more ordered than the handful of people who regularly hang out in this forum (I have a friend who received his and he never comes here). So, what we can conclude is that there are many who are in your boat. At this point, whatever the number, it is too many.

    Lineage-20.0-20230824-nightly-pro1x with Aug 5th security patch installed smoothly via ADB sideload. Indeed I got the PTMBAN* reported in the Pro 1 Lineage 20 thread. I also flashed via adb sideload the newer MindTheGapps set dated 20230808, plus I reflashed Magisk, That last step may have been unnecessary, but it also didn't hurt, but I didn't have to reopen the Magisk Manager app and just had root as soon as I booted. * The Prompt That Must Be Answered No. This was reported by @EskeRahn in the Pro 1 Lineage 20 thread. When you adb sideload Lineage now, it reminds you need to reboot i

    For what it's worth, I did take my Pro1 to a local repair shop. I gave them the videos and they had no problem and my Pro1 is fine. They actually thought the Pro1 was cool and were a little excited to work on it. It was just for a screen replacement because I lost all touch screen capability (didn't respond to touch) but when replacing the screen didn't change that, they did some further investigation, They didn't find the problem (I ended up sending to to FxTec knowing at that time I had to wait 6 months for parts) but they did a great job (FxTec, of course, also did a great job).

    The newer Gapps gives me an excuse to do a sideload update for the Pro1x this coming Thursday. I'm assuming it will have the PTMBAN (Prompt That Must Be Answered No). I'll let you know in the Pro1x thread.

    Since Casey does not regularly peruse these threads (this is a user-to-user forum) I'll try an @-call to see if can respond. Not guaranteed,,, @Casey

    Has it been too long for a chargeback on your credit card? (I've never done one, so I don't know)

    Again, a little more information would be helpful. I don't have stock Android on my Pro1x anymore, but as far as I remember, there is no way to create keyboard shortcuts without an app that can provide that function.
  15. Hook
    A little more information would be helpful. Do you have a Pro 1 or Pro1x? I am assuming you are using either Android or LineageOS. If I assume you are using a Pro1x with stock Android 11, start both apps you want to use for split screen. Go to recents (for me that would be pressing the square as I don't use gestures-- I don't know what the gesture for recents is), press and hold on the first app you want. A menu will pop up. Tap split screen, Then tap the app recent for the second app. Not al that intuitive (or flexible) but how Android works it. I actually don't remember if t

    As you can see, if you read through this thread, many are in your situation. Your options depend on whether you backed on IGG or not. If you backed on IGG, there are no refunds. You just have to wait and see-- we're hoping for an update on IGG soon. If you ordered from their web site as a pre-purchase, you can try going through your charge card or bank to do a charge-back.

    The app won't work with any other cable... it's as far as I understand a mirroring app that works only with specifically Miracast compatible cables. I assume it's one of the Miracast apps in the play store, but there are several and I don't know which one.
  19. Hook
    The Pro1x can't do true HDMI out. It can only use a Miracast cable like the one linked below and a Chinese app. It has been noted by someone in Discord that you can deny the Chinese app all permissions and it still works. 🙂 I have not obtained the cable or tried this-- not a use case I need. https://www.amazon.com/Android-Mirroring-Charging-Smartphones-Projector/dp/B08LN8Z6QX or https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801266552716.html

    @tdmhasn't been here since March of 2022, so while it doesn't hurt to send out the call with the mention I just made, I'm not sure we'll get an answer.
  22. Hook
    Yes, that is what happened to me the second time a few weeks before my warranty was up in 2021. I took it in to my local shop and had them put in a AlieExpress screen (on FxTec's advice since they didn't have any screens at the time) and it too wouldn't respond, so it was something deeper than the display or the cable. Sent it in to FxTec but had to wait 6 months for a screen as they were getting Pro1 parts with Pro1x parts. I don't know what they did exactly, but my Pro1 is still going fine more than a year later. I think you may have to send it to them. They have Pro1 screens in stock

    for most of the pro 1 design and production, Chen was able to spend a lot of time in China over-seeing things. That seems to be a requirement.

    That was kind of my point. The only way it would be proper for all the ports and buttons is if it's a universal case that didn't have anything designed for either ports or buttons. I just was curious why they decided to market it for a low volume hard to get phone. 😉
