Also, these two viseos for screen and battery replacement.

Say Pro1 three times fast.

The Astro Slide! (sliding keyboard phone competition from planetcom)
Hook replied to damion's topic in General Discussion
Actually, that disappeared for a few days. It's back now. Interesting. -
Android Ice Cold Project (Android Q). It's an alternative AOSP-based ROM.

Not on Xfinity, but that is a very common thing that goes wrong on Verizon (if you get it working at all). Happened to me twice (which does also mean I got Verizon working twice). Got tired of fighting with it.

By the way, note that they have removed the change matrix and revised their "story" to reflect the current specs with no notation of there being a change. I understand, but some transparency would have been nice. (This was pointed out by someone else of Discord before I saw it, so I am just echoing my agreement here 😉 ) Be interesting to see what they reveal in their "first look" event Tuesday. -
Pro1, Ghost touches and other digitizer and display issues
Hook replied to michal@hanu.la's topic in Support
It's possible, but I would expect the effect of that would be more along the lines of causing touches to be inaccurate. That used to happen a lot with Palm PDA digitizers and the cure most times was to run the corner of an index card carefully around under the bezel. But, as I say, the effect was to make the digitizer inaccurate (you would tap one place but it would be interpreted as tapping at a different location). Not clear why crud would trigger an avalanche of touches across the screen on it's own, while just sitting on a desk. Not saying you are wrong. Just raising a question. I -
Pro1, Ghost touches and other digitizer and display issues
Hook replied to michal@hanu.la's topic in Support
They turned me down for sending a display after first considering it. They indicated that they are no longer confident that just replacing the screen addresses the underlying issue. Hence, my Pro 1 is now at their offices. With a number of these issues popping up, they may want to do a more thorough investigation. Doesn't mean it won't turn out to be the display, but I think they want to look more deeply into it. Hope you do get the new display, however. -
I did send them an email inquiry on 05 Jan to confirm what the post office said, that my Pro 1 had been delivered on 30 Dec. They answered today with their confirmation, so they are working, even if from home, and tracking things. I do believe this will take a while and, as Slion suggested, probably won't hear much until they have finished servicing my Pro1. I don't expect that to happen quickly, especially given and intermittent problem (ghost touches-- dramatic when they happen, but not constant or predictable) and the lockdown, but appreciated the quick confirmation.

Yeah, much better sponsorship options. Added a little more beer. 😉

Although I currently don't have a Pro1 and I can't imagine *ever* having anything approaching 20 tabs open at once, I just used my slab phone to subscribe. A small enough effort to support this. 🙂

On the other hand, I'm happy someone finally made a keyboard slider for someone with big hands and thumbs like me. I hated my work issued BBs-- I could never type on them, I also remember rejecting the original Droid way back when because the keyboard was just too tiny. I do hope FxTec thrives enough to get another model for you folks who want a smaller keyboard, but this is the most comfortable phone keyboard I have ever used. -
Pro1, Ghost touches and other digitizer and display issues

Because I paid to ship from US to UK rather then they just shipping me a part at their expense. 😉 They will pay for the return trip for my phone. -
Pro1, Ghost touches and other digitizer and display issues
Hook replied to michal@hanu.la's topic in Support
You are right, of course, especially as more of these cases pop up. They may want to go and do a deeper cause analysis. I don't begrudge them that. It's inconvenient (and a little more expensive) for me, but I can see why they are doing it. Ran into no problems with shipping to the UK... no new extra tariff on my end, don't know about their end. -
Pro1, Ghost touches and other digitizer and display issues
Hook replied to michal@hanu.la's topic in Support
I do too. They said something to the effect of they had no way to know for sure that would solve the problem. Sounds like a change in policy to me. I worry a little bit because the problem is sometimes intermittent. -
Pro1, Ghost touches and other digitizer and display issues
Hook replied to michal@hanu.la's topic in Support
I got 4, almost 5 days of my glorious Pro1 and then the demons came back yesterday, the same day support asked me to send it to them. So my Pro1 has gone off to the UK and I will be sadly keyboardless for a while for the first time in a year (except that I haven't really been able to use it much for 6 weeks anyway.) 😞 -
Since your @tag didn't take, I'm adding call for @Erikon your behalf.

What are the Pro-1 X early birds and pre-early birds?
Hook replied to Yav's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Not sure exactly what you are asking. I mean they are different backer perks on the IGG site, but I suspect you know that. Can you clarify with more detail? -

Hook replied to michal@hanu.la's topic in Support
Sooo... back on topic (but AICP is still going to come up)... As I had indicated above, things kept getting worse and worse. I referred to them as demon possessions because the touches would end up firing off in bunches, launching apps, pulling down the notification shade, launching things from there, etc. It went from happening after 2 hours of using my Pro1 to 1 hour after to 5-20 minutes of use with only turning off the phone for a while worked. It was essentially unusable. I contacted Chen and her had me open the phone up and check all the connections (man, is this phone easy to open up -
Worked fine for me too (USA), but had to answer a text from my Bank assuring them I made that transaction (at which point they slapped an additional foreign transaction fee on me 😄 ).

Is there an already existing shortcut for Home? That would be fine if it exists or could be created
-
@tdm A small request. Right now the logo key does nothing. Unless there is already a keyboard shortcut I don't know about, can you have the logo key be "Home"? I tried doing it with that key mapper app, but just can't seem to figure out how to get keymapper working. That's my fault-- but it would be nice, since it is really the only mapping I care about, if it could be natively available.
