  1. This probably won't do anything, but I've had many glitches miraculously repaired by this little procedure. With SwiftKey still uninstalled, hold the power button. Ignore the boot menu, keep holding power until the Pro1 turns off, then release. The pPro1 will boot up on it;s own. This is called a "battery pull reboot." I'm not sure exactly what's different about it, but it does indeed clear up things that go wonky like a battery pull did with old smartphones that had removable batteries.
  2. Pro 1 is no longer being made and there is no old stock.
  3. I'm sorry for my little bit of humor in the middle of seeking help. I completely understand, We are much alike (I am 69). I too usually need directions to follow. I think you only need to do a factory reset, which should be somewhere in settings, probably under "System". This will give you a clean version of Lineage with all your apps and data wiped. I understand your hesitation, and it may not work, It's more of a test to see if it is a software problem. I had my touchscreen completely stop responding to touch. So, again, I did the logical test of a factory reset. It didn't help and wi
  4. You do realize that the first line disqualifies you from being a "normal" user. 😄
  5. In the "State of Production" thread, UKAndyWest noted that he didn't trust crowdfunding (called it "witchcraft" 😄 ) and had ordered from the FxTec store,
  6. January 18, 2022. An answer to a question. Also, not to me, but they posted an IGG update on Feb 1st 2022.
  7. I'm not sure this is true if you have a service ticket, those emails that have an incident number and have the directions to type any further information/reply above the line. Both in December 2020 and currently (Nov and Dec), it has never taken more than 2 weeks for them to reply.
  8. Keep in mind that I only use Magisk for SU. I flash the apk as a zip. I don't "install it" (it places Magisk Manager on the phone but I never even open it). Of course, right now I don't know if anything has changed with the updates since my Pro1 is in the shop at FxTec for repairs. 😉
  9. Which seems to be true-- not much they can do about that.
  10. I was, of course, half joking. But, actually, I guess Mrs. Hook and I are just different from a lot of folks. She has her money and I have my money. We share expenses (proportional to differences in income), both contribute to savings, but we each spend our money as we like after that. She has her obsessions and I have mine. 😉
  11. Again, as people have pointed out, this is Android, not the Pro1. If you don't have it on, you can switch to the three button navigation bar in settings, It has been so long since I have had stock android on the phone I don't remember where the setting is in Android 9. In Android 11 it is under settings --> system settings. The square button will allow you to view all open apps and switch apps. Android was designed to manage closing apps itself and, in general, manage it's own memory. It does a pretty good job, so let it. If you really insist on closing an app, hit the square butt
  12. Hi, esme, I'm assuming you have had something seriously go wrong with your Pro1 and, yes, I understand your feeling it is urgent, especially if you don't have a back-up phone. They may not get back to you as quickly as you would like (the queue of emails to the helpdesk is not small), but they will get back to you. In my dealings with them, they have always gotten back to me, but it varies between a couple of days and 2 weeks.
  13. Well, it's way past January 2021 and I have been using my Pro1 on T-mobile just fine, and now, while the Pro1 is being repaired, I am using my Pinephone just fine on T-mobile. This is prepaid-- I can't speak to post-paid. From what I can tell, AT&T is most dead set on it being an approved phone. Verizon is somewhere in-between. As long as a phone has VoLTE and a SIM muled in an approved Verizon device, it can go on the network, but then, for some people, things will stop working, while others seem to have good success. T-Mobile seems only to care if it is VoLTE although, chances

    My Pro1 died?

    When I sent my Pro1 in for repair, it took them only one month to get it back to me and this was last January when they were scrambling because they had lost their 835 SOC for the Pro1x. I know others' experience has been different, but this was mine. Even though I now have a long wait for a replacement screen (supplied under warranty) —I think they won't have the screens until they are ready to manufacture (and therefore have all the parts), hopefully January—I have had nothing but great experiences with their CS/Tech support. YMMV, but that's my experience.
  15. November update is here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pro1-x-smartphone-functionality-choice-control/x/17980121#/updates/all
  16. The update is here, just making November. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pro1-x-smartphone-functionality-choice-control/x/17980121#/updates/all
  17. There is no mention of 30 days. It can be interpreted as calendar month. They have one more day to meet their obligation. 😉
  18. When I used stock ages ago, I used an app called Edge Null to set the screen margins. Worked pretty nicely, IIRC. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meatcube.edgenull
  19. Most people never had to. The Pro1 comes with the bootloader unlocked.
  20. It's a little bit apples and oranges, AliExpress is a large distribution expediter that can afford to keep all kinds of parts stocked in large quantities. FxTec doesn't have the capital to keep large volumes of parts on hand and I'm pretty sure they have ordered/are ordering all the parts at once for assembling the Pro1x (including all the spare screen assemblies they need and which have been ordered on IGG) to minimize their costs. I should point out that I don't actually know this is what is going on, but it would be my guess.
  21. I believe any Pro1 has the two year warranty since the change to one year was made somewhere around March 2021 and I don't think any Pro1s were being supplied at that time. In my case (my touchscreen stopped working ), they agreed that, since I took reception of my Pro1 in December 10th, 2019, I was still under warranty. Just be aware that you will have to be patient as while they will likely agree to the screen replacement, you will have to be patient as they have no screens in stock and likely won't until the Pro1x becomes available.
  22. Or just factory reset. Flash LOS 18 when it comes back.
  23. I don't know the answer to what's going on here (maybe a sensor?), but I just wanted to assure you warranty repair does not depend on being on stock. When I sent mine in a year ago it was on AICP. They don't care. 🙂
  24. I emailed support. They are going to send me a new screen assembly under warranty (they honored my two years and accepted my date of reception (Dec 10th, 2019) as the mark on the wall. Of course, it will be a long while before I get it (probably not until the Pro1x is ready would be my guess), but I have to say my experiences with FxTec CS have been excellent!
