In thbat case I would suggest you disassemble the screen and bend and clean the contacts on the microphone.there are just five screws and two snap-on connectors.
The alternative is sending it back for warranty and waitin a couple of months. Really, I would suggest trying to clean and re-inforce the contact pins on te mic. Take the screen apart and you will immediately recognize what I'm talking about.

Next time buy some Loctite or equivalent and add that to those screws. I've had at least four Pro'1 in my hands with this "issue". I don't know which Loctite -equivalent they used during assembly, but I'll tell you it's pretty worthless. The screws in my personal phone came loose 2/3's!

Check the corners and snap them back by pressing the screen to the back of the frame. Pretty sure that's your deal...

So I replaced my screen. All in all it took me about an hour I think, spread over three days. First I removed the screen with the help of my trusty hairdryer. I bought this hairdryer a couple of years ago specific for these kind of 'operations' (came with a nozzle). I heated up one (long) side and put my nail in between the gap (screen and frame). I repeated this on the other side. After I removed the glue residue from the frame I transferred the black and silver stickers from the old screen to the new screen. No idea why, but I just did, assuming there moust be a reason FxTec places those stickers. Then I applied the glue, included in the Ali-order, to the frame and stuck the screen to the frame. Afterwards I put a bottle of whisky on the screen to apply pressure and let the glue dry for at least 48 hours. By the way, I can see absolutely NO difference in hardware (which is why I included the pictures side-by-side).
That was two days ago. I just re-assembled my phone and ofcourse the digitizer doesn't function properly (outer edges don't register input). So I had to go back to stock to update the firmware in the screen. The outer edges now respond to input/ touch.
Just flashed LoS 20210524 and MtG and of course it doesn't boot. So I'm cycling through slot a and b now. Forgot to wipe after flashing to LoS, I assumed going back to stock was enough. Wipe/ erase system did the trick.Replacing the screen is something anyone can do. The only thing that can happen is that it can get messy due to the glue. I would advise you first apply the glue, press the screen on the frame, apply some sort of pressure, and after a couple of hours wipe the glue of the frame with your fingers. Actually I would describe it as rubbing the glue residue from the frame to the screen. I left the film on so I'm not worried the glue won't come off.

There were 12 super early birds sold when I got my perk. But the system hung during payment.. I ended up deleting my account 🖕.
Two hours later my Pro1 was delivered. I shit you not.-

A hairdryer may not be the best solution because of the excessive air flow and uncontrolled temperature.
A proper heat gun would be a much better tool anyway.Also, ensure to use a proper (not too strong but suitable) glue, I think something has arrived together with the screen which should be good.
I'm not so worried about that hairdryer. The spare is a brand new screen FxTec sent me to replace a faulty screen. But this one has even more issues. Heating it up to loosten the LCD wouldn't cause any additional damage. I'm hoping replacing just the LCD will suffice. And you are correct, some glue was provided.

I have to replace mine too. I already have the screen, just haven't come around to start fiddling with a hairdryer and glue 😒. Fortunately I own a spare frame which I can use. I'll try to take a couple of pictures of the process. Maybe this weekend.

Thanks foe the info.
I tested with/without VPN for both Wifi and 4G, no change (always "up to date"), still seeking how to update to 0825 (without wipe).You could try to return to stock, but without "fastboot erase userdata". Since you are on stock, I see no reason why you need to erase userdata nor expect any issues. But, that is just an assumption.

When I connect my Pro1 I just get a mirrored screen. No additonal settings. The peripherals all work (connected to my screen) but no separate settings for a desktop-environment.
And my phone has been configured to complete darkness 😉

That's all I wanted @Erik, an honest response. I contacted DPD UK + NL while it was held at customs. All, and I do mean ALLL, my information was included in the shipping documents. Nobody contacted me. Even when I asked for help and called them, the information was needed from the sender. There was nothing I could have done.
Regarding the shipment/ delivery/ return the The Dutch division told me it was delivered to the sender on the 15th of March around 10:42 if I recall correctly.
The UK tracking site does not show the full information. The Dutch tracking site showed that it was delivered at 10:42 something at Harrow! Not hub Bham. And this is why I would have wanted a little more effort from FxTec support, which you now have provided yourself. So, if you would ask the Dutch DPD you would see an additional line above.15 Mar 2021 09:13 Hub 3 - Bham Your parcel is on its way back to Anyway, I wasn't looking for a fight nor trying to bash FxTec. But I did feel like I was being ignored. For now I will let it be. But I am telling you, there was another tracking DPD page that showed it was delivered after it had left the Bham hub.

Anyone else having volume issues with 2604? My volume is back at max and won't come down. Just like in the early days 🤔.

I have had no response from both these A-holes since my last message asking them to sort things out. As a recipient I have no rights. And FxTec's response is we have done all we can, which I loosely interpret as screw you buddy.
Nothing I can do at the moment. And I highly doubt FxTec has done all it can 🤬.

In the Netherlands there are organisations where you can file a complaint when there is a dispute and/ or lack of service. My issue lies with both DPD and FxTec. According to DPD NL I should contact FxTec and according to DPD UK, FxTec should take actions. We all know where this is going, and has been going for months now. Asking FxTec for help hasn't resulted in anything apart in a thank you for co-operating (WTF!?). So I tried filing a complaint with DPD UK. Here is where it gets 'funny'. DPD UK still refer to the EU consumer board when you have a dispute. But, since the UK is no longer a member of the EU, you cannot file a complaint against DPD UK.
So, is there anyone from the UK that can help me with the contact information for the correct organisation where I can file a consumer complaint so I can get some answers? Or isn't this possible in the UK? I would also like to know that. Chasing all this bureaucracy is starting to get on my nerves.This particular phone is like brand new. It was delivered the end of July. I immediately had some hardware issues with it. It was sent back in October (late response due to COVID-19). Finally it was repaired and shipped back to me late January. But for some reason it was sent back to FxTec (due to BREXIT customs issues). According to DPD it was returned and delivered to FxTec. According to FxTec they do not have my phone. Both are unwilling to help, hence my request for some help with contacting the appropiate consumer organisation in the UK, if that exists...
I am not bashing FxTec here. I am genuinely asking for some help people.

We had 5 Q's in total. Trust me I'm sure 🤓.

Nononononono to the D4! PQ was noticeably 'faster'. By the way in NL 4G worked with KPN, Simyo and Vodafone.SIM mods were always done by Cornholio, at least mine.

I gave up on my Droid 4 and Photon Q back in 2016. To me they became unusable, underpowered sluggish. I would not recommend those. So unless you go for the netman solution, your only option is to drop the landscape requirement and search for either a Galaxy s6 Plus or s7 with a keyboard cover or search for a Priv. The Photon Q was the last slider that I know of. If I recall correctly there was also a landscap clamshell LG for the Japanese market. Good luck tracking on of those.

I have owned Unihertz Jelly Pro and Atom (non-L/ XL). I was very happy with those. Unihertz is not eveyone's cup of tea. The Titan in specific was bulky to say the least. Nonetheless it already has some die hard fans. This pocket version could be a winner. But alas, still no information on screen and camera.

I went from O 16.1 to UO 18.1. And apart from my update issue this morning I was of better with UO 18.1 than O 16.1 due to the ghosting input issues. Only thing bugging me is the fact that I don't have high bitrate BT connection on my Ora. But that's it.

This morning I decided to update (from within the OS) to 0405 so I could test BT for Hook. Bad idea, my phone won't boot (tries and then goes to recovery). I am now sideloading 0504 to slot a after flashing recovery.
10 minutes later it still keeps on showing the LoS animation. Now trying slot b.I updated from within LoS. And everything went sour.
Sideload 0504 to both slots didn't help. I keep getting corrupt data.
Sideload 0104 to botth slots same shit.
This is !$#(!#$*!)#)(@)(#$**@(#(!). Factory reset it is then...It's alive!!!
I reflashed the 0104 recovery. Then sideloaded slot a OS and slot b NikGapps. And now it's up.-

Opencamera and Camera Zoom FX both work fine.
The stock app isn't that bad once you figure out not to take pictures in bad lighting 🙂 . I don't want to install Telegram, otherwise I would have asked the dev for help. Im pretty sure it should be an easy fix to lip the viewfinder in picture mode. Because in video mode everything works just fine.I just gave up and dug up my wife's Sony TX10 still like brand new. Also bought an USB C card reader in case I want to share something almost instant 🤣.

Selling Pro1or Pro1x. Please no requests for devices, only post if you have one to sell yourself.
in General Discussion
Posted · Edited by DieBruine
SOLD / TRADED
I have decided to sell my spare Pro1. Why? because I'm willing to give the Pro1x a go. This one had a defective screen (DOA). In the meanwhile I gave my daughter my own phone and after three weeks she decided the camera was worthless. Afterwards I received a replacement screen, with a glue blob lower left corner, which I replaced. You can contact FxTec and probably get it replaced again. I'm not gonna bother, and I assume you all know why. This phone is new. Look at the pictures, it's been lying in the box for almost a year now (after I replaced the screen provided by FxTec). I have not opened the box nor have I even touched the power supply, as you can clearly see!
If I like the Pro1x enough, eventually I will also be selling my daily driver after I have received my Pro1x. So no use in asking me when I will sell it. I haven't gamed on my Pro1 and in general do not use video out. So the two selling points over the Pro1x, faster and video out, do not concern me. For those of you curious as to why I would want to switch, this is my answer, and a better camera would be nice. If you're wondering where I get these phones. I ordered five in total waaaay back. Family of four + cousin.
Now back to business. I want € 700,- including insured shipping to anywhere in the world. But, excluding PayPal fees if you want to pay that way!
But... I prefer an 8GB/256GB Pro1x instead! So If you have ordered and paid for a Pro1x 8GB/256GB, I will consider transfer of your order to me as payment, excluding shipping and insurance costs for the Pro1! You will have to pay for those additionally. And no, I do not want a 6/128 Pro1x with a money bonus...
I have also provided pictures of my daily driver so that you can compare and conclude that the one I'm selling now is new. They keys are still hard and do not shine. The casing doesn't have a single scratch or dent.
