Pro¹ X – state of production and delivery
Hook replied to Rob. S.'s topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Your points are well-taken, even in your first post. I don't know what has been happening. I suspect they don't have a lot of money to play with, which might be why they couldn't hang onto that in-house person. I guess I just appreciate their doggedness to get us hardware in our hands that then may be able to become what we want. They crowdfunded a phone they had already designed and built with only more memory and Lineage and UT ready to go. Suddenly, they lost the SOC they had paid for and found themselves having to design a new phone in a pandemic remotely in China. I don't know m -
Pro¹ X – state of production and delivery
Hook replied to Rob. S.'s topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I think this really does misrepresent what they said. They said the alternative OSs are community run projects by volunteers and progress depends on their time (true), but that they are working closely with those volunteers to provide as much support as possible. There was no comment about ask the devs. Only the continuing "if you have questions ask at fxtec." I do understand the frustration. Must be even greater for those who, who unlike you and me, are waiting without a Pro 1 in their hands. And, honestly, I bet FxTec are pretty frustrated too. I don't know the reason, but FxT -
Android 11&12 Charging issue. Reproducible trigger method.
Hook replied to EskeRahn's topic in Bug Reports
Interesting, because I have almost never seen the problem on my Pro 1, and I have been using magnetic connectors since forever. Mine can do data as well as charge. -

Seems simple enough to just use this link to check rather than asking someone else to maintain an update thread: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pro1-x-smartphone-functionality-choice-control/x/17980121#/updates/all -
Pro¹ X – state of production and delivery
Hook replied to Rob. S.'s topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I am an IGG supporter and I don't get the emails anymore. I suspect something broke at IGG. Maybe IGG has a time limit on emails going out. I just go to IGG and check the updates while ignoring the comments. 😉 -
Glad it worked out. Recommend you fill in your device and OS version to appear under your user name. The instructions are pinned to the top of the forum. It really helps provide context for answering questions. :)

What version of Lineage and is this straight up Lineage or MicroG or some such? I don't have what you describe (my spell checker is working fine). I got to Settings, System, Languages & Input, and I have no "Input Assistance." I have a section of the Languages & Input screen called tools and in that section it lists Spell Checker which identifies it as Android Spell Checker (AOSP).

Nope, just showed up late. -

You seem to have missed the latest updates. We are now up to update #48. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pro1-x-smartphone-functionality-choice-control/x/17980121#/updates/all IGG seems to have messed up so some of us are not receiving notifications of the updates anymore (myself included). The quick version is they ran into a contractual problem which delayed shipping until December. -
It would be nice if there was a small business exception, requiring perhaps clear, up-front prominently displayed information that they are taking the exception and what the customer CAN expect at both product page and in cart before purchasing. Could define small business in language that would largely prevent large corporations from using it as a loop-hole. You are right. If it is all or nothing, will kill some innovation.

LineageOS 19.1 Official Release for Pro1
Hook replied to wapsi's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Strange. No new nightly today. -
Don't know why I didn't notice this before. I always liked signatures in forums so that folks could see, whether asking or answering, what devices you had. However, we do have a "member title" field in our profile. So I'm using it to let everyone know I only have a Pro 1 so that people can regard any answers I have about a Pro1X with suspicion. 😄 It's still a good idea to specify what model you are talking about in thread titles and posts as things can get confusing with the two different yet similar phones, especially if people have not listed under their names, but it is still usefu

Physical Keyboard and Auto Correction with Lineage 16
Hook replied to TechLvr's topic in General Discussion
As far as I know, Swiftkey IS the only way to get autocorrection with the Physical keyboard, not that I have attempted an exhaustive research on it (I don't like autocorrection, so I don't use it, and I rarely type anything in portrait so I rarely use and don't care about the on-screen keyboard... I use portrait mostly for look up). -
So, is this just for your Pro1x. I found these same results for my Pro 1 when I first got it, which was one of my motivations for having a cheap Moto phone as phone and for Android Auto while using the Pro1 as a pocket computer (with the Moto sometimes providing the hot spot for the Pro 1. I've always suspected the materials in the casing as being part of the problem, but I am not knowledgeable here. I will say, I still love the functional split, but maybe because I spend 80% of my time on the Pro 1 and only 20% on the Moto. Tells you how much I use a phone at all. :D I'm just curiou

I don't know about the firmware fix, but there are two issues here. One is connectivity on different bands--- that is what the firmware fix will address. The other is that Verizon is only allowing white listed phones on their network and the Pro1X isn't one of them. It will connect unofficially with a muled SIM, but it may stop working at any time. That is out of FxTec's hands. There is a whole thread here about Verizon on the Pro 1 and Pro 1x, Some claim to get it working, but rarely come back to periodically verify that it keeps working. I got 3 months with Verizon on the Pro1 before SMS

LineageOS 19.1 Official Release for Pro1
Hook replied to wapsi's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Updated OTA to lineage-19.1-20221114-nightly-pro1-signed.zip with the November 5th security patch. Installed smoothly, left root intact, Still takes about 2.5 hours to do the OTA. I have no idea why, but I'm too lazy to set up flashing. It works and I am sitting at a computer for that 2.5 hours. -
Yes. They will ask some questions, probably ask for pics and then tell you how to send it. I expect they have all the parts they need, but they will tell you. My limited (n=2) experience with their customer service (I am in US) has been very good.

You could always check the display ribbon cable, but this sounds more serious than ribbon cable issues. I would honestly be opening a warranty repair trouble ticket with FxTec. But hopefully the more technical people on this forum can tell you something.
