Hook

Odd we don't have the June security patch yet.

I'm no expert, but based on my experience I would guess either the new cable or the new port (or both) took you to USB 2. USB 3 seems really finicky with this stuff. I now use USB 2 exclusively and have no problems.

Any microSD card should be compatible. I tend to get Sandisk (currently 256 GB) and I stick to Ultra rather than Extreme because the Pro1 doesn't really get the benefit that some high end DSLRs might. Frankly, as long as it is a Class 10, you should be fine. But I'm no expert. Others here are likely to know more.

Just to let you know, switching to Lineage will move you to Android 11 with current updates. That isn't to excuse the lack of updates in stock, just a useful alternative if it is practical for you.

Certainly not my experience with their repair service. Have you emailed them recently? The pic above just looks like confirmation that it was sent. Has the courier provided any documentation or other proof that it was delivered? I understand your frustration, but I really don't think they have any interest in stealing customers' phones. @Erik, can you be of any help here?

No troubles with Magisk 23.0 and the 31May update here, so I suspect something went awry with making that big of a jump.

I have screenshot included on mine and I'm pretty sure I didn't when I first installed 18.1, nor did I find the option to include it back then. Unless I was just blind. I'm glad to have it back... I find it much more convenient there.

Also, as previously reported, it works fine to take the newest Magisk version (23.0)) which is only available as an apk, and rename it as a .zip file in order to flash it via recovery when you flash the nightly. However, I should point out that I only use Magisk for SU, I don't ever open the app nor do I use any modules.

I believe you are mistaking when FxTec released an update for the date of their latest updates. I believe the update released in August 2020 was the one with the April 2020 security patch. But then, I haven't been on stock for a long time either. 😄

I don't have stock, but, yes, that is the last vendor security update and is that on the Lineage official weeklies as well.

It will probably do nothing, but my go-to when I find something wonky is a "Battery pull restart." Hold the power button (ignore the restart screen) until the Pro1 spontaneously reboots. If it does nothing, no harm done, but I find it often sets really squirrely things right again.

The pic looks like a skin made for the Pro1. Is it? Do you have a link. It's like the Dbrand Skin on my Pro1, but I used a Note 10 skin which had the right camera placement and trimmed the width for the Pro1. Just curious if there is a skin that has actually been made for the Pro1 or if the image is doctored?

Actually, I would disagree. A small batch run is much more likely to have QC and build problems, especially if the company can't be there in person to supervise. In a normal batch run, they might throw out 10 devices early in the run for QC defects. What is actually more important is the they have a 2 year guarantee, that the company honors those warranties and that the warranty belongs to the device, not the original owner, so that when sold, the second owner is protected too.

Good sales pitch 😄

I agree. I do believe these are legitimate. There was a retail store in Japan that actually had physical stock for a while. I believe this is a person that bought most of them up for investment purposes. I have no proof of this however.

So why dows he have an on-screen keyboars and why in portrait? 😉

Is it possible they are detecting the unlocked bootloader (you can't relock it on anything but stock)? I don't know because my Bank app doesn't complain and I don't care about passing safety net so never studied this problem much, but the possibility occurred to me.

I can confirm it works in 18.1

No, it defeats one purpose of using lineage. Having up-to-date security patches, a more stable version of Android, having just the Gapps you prefer and not all installed as system apps are also reasons. 😉

All the pre-Xmas Pro1xs were 6/128s

I think you got the wrong impression from my talking about using a newer Gapps package. There's no compelling reason to do so. Sometimes, if the play services have been updated, it can mean less ota updating when you first install, but really, I could use the same MindTheGapps package for as long as I'm using Lineage 18,x (until Lineage releases version 19/Android 12) and it wouldn't make a difference. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but that's my understanding.

Not sure where you are seeing it. I see pre-order of 8/256 for $899 USD on the site. It's still available on IGG for &719 USD. And, no, no chip change which would involve another 6-8 months of work and an expense they don't have the budget for.

That's what installing Gapps does for you. It is the actual Google Play framework and some of the Google Apps, from Google, which is why it is a separate install.

ineage-18.1-20210503-nightly-pro1-signed.zip on April 5 security patch installed smoothly using adb sideload. Haven't updated to the April MindTheGapps yet and still using Magisk 21.0. I'll get around to updating those one of these weeks, but everything works nicely. I don't do passing SafteyNet, don't care about it. I don't even open Magisk Manager at all.
