As I found with a different set of links, not everything on those pages work though it's true they don't take you to the new page... they just don't work. And neither link has the videos, although they are still available HERE and HERE (on the second link you have to scroll down to find the take apart and repair videos).

Unfortunately, no. You can get to an older version of the site by clicking on the "Shop" link at the top of the forum, but the FAQ and Support links will just take you to the new default page.

Yes, I do this all the time with magnetic cables. My cables are all USB 2.0-- for my uses I've never thought it worth bothering trying t upgrade. The magnetic adapter goes in when I first receive any phone and never comes out. I've never felt any play with any adapter I've used.

I did notice that the apps that did what you described always showed up with blue buttons and I'm pretty sure the characters are there in very very light grey (I can almost see the light gray when the buttons are a lighter blue, but impossible to read when a darker blue). The ones that pop up correctly do have that Gingerbread look. So, yes, it seems to be a few apps (for me) that are calling up some new theming setting. I tried changing from dark/black background to (ugh!) light background and it made no difference on the theming of the keyboard pop-ups. So far, I only have 3 apps that do i

Strange... never noticed this because, in part, I don't use a lot of accented characters, but also, it turns out, testing right now on my Pro1x with Lineage 21, most of the apps I use behave correctly when I hold down the A key. Even Aquamail, which is based on K-9. I did find a couple of apps that do what you describe, but I can't figure out why they are doing it but most don't.

I'm not disagreeing with your main point. You are right. But for someone who doesn't like using their phone in portrait and abhors touch-screen keyboards, there are work-arounds that, if you don't mind a little more scrolling (I don't-- that's one of the trade-offs I'm willing to make) make it not so bad. Here is what Newpipe (I had to download it) looks like with my display settings on my Pro1x: And it gets better if I actually just search... And while I don't want to show you my calendar, I can't tell you how wonderful it is to see an entire month on screen and

Edit: I started this before Eske's post, got interrupted, but will post anyway. :D Strangely, this is not my experience. It may be what I do on my Pro and Pro1x. Mostly I work with text-- writing and editing, I browse the web (research while writing, a lot of forums, and such), do email, notes of various sorts for writing, and calendaring, scheduling. Keeping my display size at the smallest setting (font size one click bigger), which my 71 year old eyes have not trouble with, I find almost no app that doesn't do well in Landscape. I have a third party app to force a fixed rotation.

I have to agree with @FlyingAntero. My experience has been similar (Pro 1, Pro1x,2 warranty repairs). I think a lot of mistakes were made on top of an almost unbelievable chain of bad luck, and they probably should have just called it quits long ago. But their only real fault is that they have relentlessly tried to keep going (probably pouring in more of their own money than the original IGG investment).

The OP hasn't been here in a while, but your best bet is to put in a mention so he is notified-- like this: @steward

I think this is a typo. I assume you mean you don't know if it works with the Pro1x, since people do claim it works with the Pro1. But it raises an interesting question... is there anything in stock Android 11 on the Pro1x that handles the display correction (even though the original patch doesn't work on Android 11) that would work if reflashed? I can't remember if anyone has tried that. I can't imagine trying to flash the Pro1's Android 9 on a Pro1x would have any good result.

It's sort of weird and interesting to continue to follow this thing. I suspect most of the conversation seems to be in the Discord server where only backers are allowed. How weird is it for a phone aimed at reducing scrolling should go to social media for communication. Lol.They don't seem to answer a lot of questions on IGG anymore. Will wait and see if they keep posting updates. They have moved to "IN Demand" and now, suddenly the proposed retail price has lowered to $439 (come on, that's no a real price, it's not arithmetic friendly ), while the perk is $390... not much difference g

Yeah, I don't really have any idea-- this is all way over my head. However, for whatever reason, the display booted up on a Pro1, and then moved to a Pro1x, works properly. So something has to be being changed internal to the display by whatever the Pro1's stock Android 9 is doing at boot. This is probably the communication you talked about?

The screens for the Elephone U Pro are made by the same company that made the screen for Pro1 and Pro1x. However (and I don't know the technical details) they need a patch or there will be a wide margin around the screen where there will be no touch sensitivity, a dead area for a wide margin clear around the screen. The company used a patch for the Elephone U Pro models, but it requires Android 10 or earlier to use. They never even officially released the patch, but FxTec was able to obtain and incorporate the patch into the Pro1's version of Android 9. But the Pro1x runs on Android 1

Here is the video for screen replacement, It is for the Pro1, but that won't make a difference in this case. https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3222-new-at-least-to-me-pro1-pro1x-repair-videos/ However it shows you changing the whole display, including the frame, You do NOT want to buy the Elephone U Pro frame for the display (it's usually a choice or they don't include the frame at all), the Pro1x's frame is different. So the added removing the old screen (some glue to work loose) and lightly gluing the new display into the frame.

We need to be clear here. IIRC, you have a Pro1x, not a Pro 1. The Elephone U Pro screen will still work, but neither Stock Android 11 nor Lineage OS will fix the margin problem. The only method that has been reported to work is first installing the display in a Pro1, doing the fix and then transferring to the Pro1x. Be aware, I have not done this. Since I don't believe you have a pro1, this is probably not a workable solution, sorry to say.

Yes, discussions both here and in Discord.

They extended the campaign 3 more days. I noticed they upped the pledge amount to $375, but more interestingly upped the retail value to $500. Would not surprise if, if they do make it to retail, it might end up at the $599 price, Interestingly, they still have the secret perk at $325 for those who were sent the link because they were on the waitlist.

As pointed out, there is a work around. Neither @EskeRahn nor I have insight into this (we don't have any more communication with FxTec than anyone else here). It might have been a response to some rather aggressive spamming that was occurring, though I don't know, don't know how exactly it would improve that, nor do I even know if it was FxTec's doing. This is (and I only know this from researching the forum software site) a turnkey solution forum. The forum is hosted on the forum software maker's servers and they do all the back-end security while FxTec is responsible for the user-facing

And apparently, no one knows about the secret perk ($325) as that number hasn't changed much in two weeks-- either that or there was only 30 people on the wait list.

It appears there isn't a new nightly this week. That seems also true for the Pro1. They do this occasionally and the list for what is being incorporated for the new update seems pretty long. I expect we'll see a new update this coming Monday.

With 5 days left, it looks like they might be able make it across the line-- they only need about 54K more... I wonder if they can buy their own pledges. :D They keep promising more and more... which continues to worry me when evidence points to them not even having a working prototype. Also, it's sounding less and less like a "minimal" phone and more like an Android phone with an eInk screen. So, basically, the only thing minimal about it is it won't be very satisfying for videos and very graphical games.

If you are looking for the Minimal phone tangent, I moved it HERE. ;)

I still think they are still gaining too slowly. Part of the problem, I think, is that they have most of the folks both interested in a phone like this and willing to gamble on crowdfunding. I'm skeptical that they have a real working prototype-- more of a design concept, based on their continued lack of showing someone really using it. The new slick video of computer renders set to pop music doesn't instill confidence. They even sent out a secret perk to wait listers (keeps the price at $325) that has only resulted in 30 out of 50 taken. And then there's the "Founders edition" where you pa
