  1. Or for us silly Yanks who don't have the sense to use metric system: 6.05" x 2.90" x .55" 😉
  2. Any chance they got their hands on a pre-production Pro1x and forgot to label the ROM properly. Lol
  3. How long ago did you email FxTec? They can take two weeks to answer. It could be longer with the current efforts to push out the Pro1x. They may have the spare part since ordering parts for the Pro1x allowed them to get some extra inventory of parts that are identical for the Pro1 and Pro1x (and I believe this is one of them). I assume when you emailed that you got a robo-acknowledgement at least. If not, you may have not succeeded in reaching them. Others here can be of more help in sourcing the part yourself, but give FxTec a little extra time.
  4. I use Magisk, but only for SU. I sideload it via recovery as a zip. Version 25 works just fine except that, for the first time, I had to open the manager app to complete installation. Some programs ask for SU more than once, which didn't happen before, but works fine. No way to be sure if differences are due to Magisk 25 of Lineage 19. I don't use any Magisk modules and never open the Magisk Manager beyond that one time to complete installation.
  5. Hahaha There have been only 2 left for probably a year or more. If you check, you'll see there are still "only 2 left" after your purchase. 😂 But great you are getting one. Congratulations.
  6. Lineage recovery works just fine for AICP. Never tried recovery for 19 but I don't think that AICP being still Android 11 while 19 is 12 matters for using the recovery. I don't truly know the risks of not patching. Anyone still using stock Android on the Pro1 hasn't been patched in 2 years, IIRC. There is someone here who is unofficially maintaining Lineage OS 16, keeping it patched every couple of months (He runs it Google-free, but no reason you can't add Gapps). Scroll back for previous discussion. You can follow his link here for the latest update: http://findus.zwe
  7. This is why I continue to believe in FxTec. They can only do what they can do, but no matter how long it takes...they come through. Even when it's at the point where you may have given up on reminding them.
  8. If he doesn't answer, people complain. But it is hard to be specific when you can't be sure about the situation enough to give an iron clad assurance. Rock and a hard place. The problem is not just how small Fxtec is. It;s that it does very little in house and they don't own or have priority with any of the pieces. Unlike Apple, who own all of the pieces and have high priority, or Samsung, close enough to the same. FxTec has to juggle multiple providers and contracts where they have very low priority. So, if they have scheduled fkashing and packaging for shipping, but things are hal
  9. Not exoeriencing these issues (wifi, slow. losing root). I would try reflashing the zip from recovery and see if anything changes. It shouldn't make a difference sine the OTAs are the full system and not just updates, but it would still be worth trying. Sounds like something might be corrupted somewhere.
  10. This is a known issue, though I think most of the discussion has taken place in the Lineage 18.1 thread and in the Lineage room on the unofficial FxTec Discord. No one seems to have quite figured out what brings this one in terms of reliable steps to recreate. I certainly haven't, though it does happen to me, just not often and not predictably. Then again, I haven't kept up with all the postings, maybe others know more.
  11. And I am another who really has never been given any reason to complain about F(x) Tec's customer service. Yes there have been delays, but in fact the communication was good if you factor in that they don't say much if they don't actually have any news. When there were delays, they were very clear that there would be delays and they didn't know how long. I accepted that. Certainly never got a Frankenphone back. It's only my experience, but I am very happy with the CS I have received from this company. Far better than anything I have received by any other phone company.
  12. Indeed, Say what you want about communication and delays, their customer service is stunning, Got the Pro1 I sent for repairs in December back 2 days after they said it had been repaired and was being shipped, and also with a new battery thrown in. Even though he had seen all the delays, after seeing the CS I was provided, a friend ordered the Pro1x Enthusiasts Perk on IGG. This is a company that cares.
  13. I got My Pro1 back. I decided to not steal my T-mobile sim back from my Pinephine plus keyboard (mostly because it requires removing the keyboard and the connection is finicky), but T-mobile is no longer offering the $15/month plan w 1 GB data so I went to Ting Mobile for my Pro1. They even claim the IEMI is supported (my theory is if you type any random set of numbers and letters in there the decision tool will say you are supported 😄 ). They have a plan that is $10 for unlimited calls and text and 5$ for each 1GB of data, which works out to the same as the T-Mobile plan. The SIM is iden
  14. Got my Pro1 back from repair and decided to start out with Lineage 19 as described above by Eske (I flashed the 20220613 recovery image... probably could have used the Lineage 18 recovery which also worked for AICP, but I wanted a fresh start). I also wanted to note that I was able to sideload version 25 of Magisk as a zip (depreciated install technique) in order to get SU, which ios all I use Magisk for. I had to open the Magisk Manager app to finish install, which was painless, but I think might be new. I don't remember having to do that before just for SU. Took me 30 minutes (and then a
  15. Having just gotten back my Pro1, I decided to start out with Lineage 19. Still, I'm hoping there might be an AICP-s.
  16. Sorry for your experience. Mine arrived yesterday and it is indeed mine and works flawlessly. Have Lineage 19 flashed and rooted and restoring everything. 🙂
  17. Wow! Now FedEx says it is on the truck in my city and is being delivered today! Considering I was sent the tracking number Friday morning and last I saw it was hopping around London, that's dang fast. 🙂
  18. I received a FedEx tracking number and tracked it moving around London, but now the FedEx site keeps saying it is having a problem and "try again later"-- which must mean "try again on Monday". 😄
  19. It's admittedly confusing, and I have no special insight on what happened here. @EskeRahn's guess is plausible. However, this last update is the first one to explicitly say "Mass shipping has now been confirmed..." I would take that as a clear sign that the manufacturing hurdles have been surmounted. Hopefully.
  20. I wouldn't want to say I know for sure, but all previous hints seem to indicate that it is Android 11.
  21. Actually, as has shown up in a couple of threads here, as predicted, now that they are manufacturing, they have spare parts again. I and several others have been notified that our repairs are done or being done. They even threw in a battery replacement (not just me). Part of the problem in their communication is they don't say anything when they don't have an answer or solid information. My trust in them, however, has been based on the fact that they always come through.
  22. I have one. They are very nice, real quality. They will cushion your Pro1x but may not cushion enough in a high impact fall. They do hold snugly enough that the phone doesn't slide out on it's own, but still make it easy to remove the phone.
  23. I think the other thing to look at is their perseverance. Given IGG offers no guarantee of delivery, most, given the obstacles they hit, might have thrown up their hands and walked away. This small group of folks is making sure we get our phones come Hell or high water. I can't believe they are going to have ended up with massive profits. They are doing this for the love of keyboard phones and they will deliver. Thank you Chen and the rest!
  24. I understand that it is a PITA, but going to a new major version of any ROM with a dirty flash is likely to end badly. Likely enough that I prefer rebuilding from a fresh install. Then again, I'm retired so I can easily spend a few hours rebuilding. 😉
