It doesn't wipe your phone, just helps clean garbage out.

I know this sounds silly but try two things. First, go into settings -> apps and clear chache on the phone app. Then do a simulated battery pull. This is done by holding the power button. Keep holding it (ignore the pop-up shutdown menu) until the Pro1 spontaneously restarts. This is my go to whenever I get inexplicable wonky behavior. It works for lot of cases. Don't know if it will solve yours, but unless yours is a messed up proximity sensor, it's all I've got. π

I guess I don't use my Pro1 in portrait enough to understand the problem this is addressing. I use my Pro1 in landscape 95% of the time. I'll snap out the keyboard even to type "OK" π I have my display size set to "smallest" in settings and I get a goo deal of screen real estate, in either landscape or portrait, but certainly landscape. I mostly do all my settings for landscape. I don't really care a whole lot about hoe things look in portrait. The very few apps I use that insist on portrait orientation (generally, if I find one, I look for replacements), I just split screen. Never real

Just got my Pro1 bacjk from repair. Superb. Not a ghost touch anywhere. Immediately installed the update of AICP and aside from a rookie mistake and a hiccup in the connection to my computer for a moment, everything went smoothly. I love this ROM!!! @tdmThank you! Thank you also FxTec for the great repair.

Just saying, AICP is up to date, based on Android 10, and does Magisk as an easy flash like addonsu. Developed by tdm as well. Latest zip here (ignore that the date in the description has not been edited, the link will get you the latest zip from Feb, Has Jan security patch). https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3191-aicp-q-discussion/ Flashable Magisk zip here (I'm still using 21.3): https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/ Very similar to Lineage 17.1 but with more features. The point is, although you use Magisk, it is simply flashing a single zip in recovery, no

Do you prefer waiting longer for a better SoC or less for inferior?
Hook replied to brunoais's topic in General Discussion
For me, the key is updateability. For niche devices made by small companies that means an unlockable bootloader and at least Lineage being available (and probably means having a Qualcom chip), because no small company making niche devices are going to keep Android up to date. either in terms of version nor security patches. IDEA corp's contract support is not great-- they are a big company with many big clients. But FxTec's relationships with the development community, even if you have to wait forever to get your device, is invaluable. I won't deny that I thought of getting a Titan as- 1 reply

Hook replied to brunoais's topic in General Discussion
I don't look at many IGG projects, but having seen exactly the same thing on the Astro Slide project, I almost wonder if the behavior isn't built algorithmically into the IGG platform, maybe based on a few parameters the owner of the project sets. Shrug I don't consider it bad behavior, I consider it marketing. Though I suppose one could argue it's tomayto/tomahto π- 1 reply

Hook replied to brunoais's topic in General Discussion
I'd say they hit a major, unforseen supply chain disaster in mid January and scrambled to come up with a solution that allows them to move forward giving folks a still fantastic keyboard phone rather than walking away and saying "this is too much" as IGG would have allowed them. And it will still be a great keyboard phone. Thank you, FxTec.- 1 reply

Send your request to their email. [email protected] -
As always, the answers aren't here in a user forum, but I'm pretty confident that FxTec is going to do everything needed to transition the ports to the new SOC requirements. I think the Devs, who partially jumped into this because of their own interest in having a good keyboard phone available, will too. Maybe a few new prototypes will be passed around. I am sure this will get done given 7+ months to do it. However, if you want an answer, you will have to email FxTec.

Just curious, given the small scale of this development effort. Will this be portable to the Pro1x with a different SOC. or will it remain Pro 1 (SD 835) only?

The Astro Slide! (sliding keyboard phone competition from planetcom)
Hook replied to damion's topic in General Discussion
I have a fairly recent (2-3 year old) Thinkpad T570. The keyboard is splendid despite having a more chicklet appearance. They have a very nice, subtly scooped surface and a good amount of key travel (one review said it was 2.41 mm) with a soft click and good feedback. I've used Thinkpads for 25 years and the T570 seems pretty good to me. I can't find anything that confirms it is rubber dome, but I suspect it is. -
Sorry, forgot to ask, will the link in the op have the new version as before? I prefer to flash over ADB and may have to anyway when I get my Pro1 back from repairs. Could you change the date in the description of the link in the OP when you load a new one? Not a big deal, but would let people know it's the newest file when the file has the same name always.

Can't wait to try it when my Pro1 gets back from London (on it's way). More beers coming after payday Wed.

"Chargie", a battery life saver for non-rooted devices?
Hook replied to Rob. S.'s topic in General Discussion
If you are not rooted, Accu Battery is a useful app. It is not as good as Battery Charge Limit as it doesn't do the slowdown and stop, but you can set an alarm for a certain charge limit. Unfortunately, not great for charge while you sleep, but cheaper and less easy to lose than the Chargie. π -
Hoping FedEx to US does better.

Just got an email from FxTec that my Pro1 was repaired by replacing the display and is on it's way back to me. So, one month. Pretty good, especially given lockdown. Thank you, FxTec!

Pro1, Ghost touches and other digitizer and display issues
Hook replied to [email protected]'s topic in Support
Just to tie my story up, just got an email from FX that they have replaced my display and are shipping it back to me (FedEx to US). Only a month, I'm very happy! π I was worried with lockdown it would take longer. Thank you, FxTec. -
So you would rather get a blue phone than a black phone? Or you would like to pay more to upgrade memory? Because the Pro1x is not a "newer phone." They both have the same parts and specs and are manufactured as needed, not stockpiled in some warehouse, so the Pro1 isn't "outdated" compared to the Pro1X. Just saying. π

Tony, just so you know, this is a user to user forum. Will try and invoke @Erikto help, but messages here are not necessarily seen by the FxTec folks.

Someone else will have to answer. I've only done fastboot on Windows, but I'd be very surprised if you can't. Hopefully one of the Linux folks will be along.
