  1. I hate that I can't both 'like' and say 'thanks' here 😉 Excellent news indeed.
  2. I think it is harder to obtain that part but it worth a try to ask if F(x)tec has spare items. Unfortunately I can report that they didn't have any when I asked, which was just recently. Those sensors indeed seem to be difficult to source, all the more so since the Pro1X now uses a different one.
  3. As I mentioned somewhere, they already conceded that, in China, the delivery order has become mixed up, unfortunately, which also is why I already have my Oct 2020 IGG order while still waiting for my Sept 2019 (sic!) website order. Probably hasn't been the only problem with the shipping company, seeing that their dealings with them seem to have come to a complete halt.
  4. ..., complaining the fingerprint configuration would have changed although it hasn't, disable developer options and try again. For me, it seems to have done the trick with the Pro1X on stock Android 11. (I was suspecting a device-specific issue, although my Pro1 did behave similarly for some time, and if I remember correctly a reinstall or upgrade of LineageOS fixed it. Anyway I thought I'd send my bank a message—ING, Germany's biggest direct bank—complaining that their app cannot really be used with the fingerprint scanner, making it a nuisance to work with it. Two or three days lat
  5. Yes, this is recent, and I rarely ever shut down or reboot the phone, as I, luckily, haven't experienced the "not charging" issue with it yet... I surely did add a few apps recently and also probably removed one or two. (Problem is, I tend to remove fewer apps than I install.)
  6. Lately, the Android 11 System UI starts to crash now and then, after the device has been in use for some time (at least a few days). Once it has started behaving like that, one thing that reliably triggers the crash is opening or closing the hardware keyboard. Drove me nuts today when I was in one of my banking apps which should give me a code to authenticate a transaction in my laptop's browser, I opened out the keyboard to enter that app's password, just to see everything disappear behind the lock screen that the crashed System UI had brought up. Logged in to the phone again, the
  7. Just for the record, I recently ordered a display assembly from Fxtec and it took only a few days to arrive from the UK (Fedex made me pay import fees, though, if I remember correctly). If they still have them in stock in the UK, you might get lucky.
  8. I think Google wanted to make things easier for them, not wanting to be blamed for or having to deal with dozens of third-party apps' issues when called by any app that uses the camera for some purpose. LineageOS sadly doesn't change that, either. But LineageOS, as @Hook already reported, does at least allow us to configure a standard app for the dedicated camera button. (Was already true for LOS 18.1, by the way.) I'm wonder, though, whether it also might have been possible for Fxtec to add such a setting for stock Android. Perhaps someone who's helping them with the stock ROM in th
  9. Indiegogo samples were only available as blue, but after the Pro1 X had become available through Fxtec's website as well, from there it also could (and can) be ordered in black.
  10. Is it the same with and without using Android Auto? I never had a car with Android Auto (my current car, which also is the newest I ever had, is 20 years old), so I have no own experience there, but I seem to remember that the Pro1 always had some connectivity issues with it, albeit that used to be more of a Bluetooth thing. I can add another bit regarding GPS precision on the Pro1 X, though, after noticing that, when hiking, straight paths are often recorded as serpentine lines. While I have found Google Maps to be working just as well as it used to work with the Pro1, I find GPS lo
  11. Looks like I don't get any more IGG updates through email, either, but that's easily explained by my IGG order (except for the spare battery) having been fulfilled in the meantime, other than my earlier Pro1 website order. Updates for website orderers have traditionally been less frequent...
  12. Yes, the situation definitely is unsatisfactory. Personally, while I'm in the comfortable position of already owning a (battered but still mostly functional) Pro1 and a shiny new Pro1X (backed on IGG October 2020), I'm also still waiting for my September 2019 Pro1 website order (later changed to Pro1X) to be fulfilled. I can report, though, that three weeks ago (production updates usually come once a month, more frequently only if significant things are happening in between) I requested some information, and while they didn't give me any specific dates, they assured me that the order defi
  13. For what it's worth, I have yet to see a really stable Bluetooth connection. Especially in my house, when there also is 2 GHz WiFi in use, Bluetooth and WiFi also interfere with each other because they transmit in the same frequency band. Lately, when I tried walking around the house with headphones on (JVC HA-S30BT) and the Pro1X in my back pocket, I only had very few hiccups and drop-outs, though.
  14. On my first days with the Pro1X I suddenly had a massive problem with GPX, too. (I suspect that was before GPS had properly initialised itself; perhaps no Assisted GPS data was loaded yet, but that's me stabbing around in the dark.) I'm using an app named Locus for hiking. When I switched it to satellites view, there were some two dozens of satellites in view but all showed up red even though I was outside and a lot should have been in sight. It took some time, but in the end the phone started to find the satellites. Until then, it had been using mobile/WiFi data to approximate the location wh
  15. Problem is, until now, the battery cannot be found anywhere but at Fxtec. Might actually be a unique design for them. On the other hand, I'd at least expect Fxtec to be able to ship batteries some time soon.
  16. It might be interesting to see if that non-charging state of the Pro1X is displayed as 'not charging' instead of 'discharging' in AccA (which would need a rooted device with ACC/AccA installed, which I haven't done yet as I seem to get along quite well with unrooted stock), too, as it used to be with the Pro1. As of now, I haven't experienced charging issues on the Pro1X myself.
  17. Thanks a lot! (Just in case someone might wonder, and the method described in https://gist.github.com/bengalih/ee939232fcde3c22516134e10cabbf11 is not precise there, either, it probably isn't enough to disable Digital Wellbeing features, you actually need to disable the app, going through Settings, Apps and notifications, See all apps, Digital wellbeing, Uninstall, Disable. At least I hope I got that right...).
  18. Interesting. I still have a Pro1 with LOS 18.1 running Nova, too, and I'll keep an eye on it whether it starts to misbehave as well...
  19. Spoken too soon! Had to choose my launcher again right now ...
  20. Myself and many others who ordered back in 2019/2020 are put on hold again, it seems like getting the phone I ordered 2,5 years ago has less priority than those who backed on indigogo just 2 or 3 months ago I have received my Oct 2020 IGG contribution # 3xx, but not yet my website order from Sept 2019 (Pro1 later changed to Pro1 X). I was told the latter is definitely in the pipeline, but things were mixed up quite a bit in China with regard to the sequence of shipments. (Personally, I couldn't care less which of the two came first 😉, but I understand that it's different for th
  21. I never had any Netflix issues on the rooted Pro1 with LOS 18.1, either. That said, I wouldn't know whether the Netflix app might have been marked as incompatible at some point; once it's installed, I don't think it would get deleted. You might want to download the APK (like with https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ from Google's Play Store), if all else fails.
  22. I seems this isn't even a Pro1X thing, it's an Android 11 thing that happened on other phones, too, after 11 came out. I'm carefully optimistic that (one of) the fixes mentioned here might work; at least I haven't been asked which launcher I want for the whole day now: "If you set the [stock] launcher as default, then go in and make your preferred launcher default, it seems to fix it." "Go to app settings for Nova Launcher and check the permissions it has. Give it permission to modify system settings." I didn't test between the two, so I don't know which of them actually
  23. It sticks out a bit, it just doesn't let itself be pushed inwards. If you could look at it from the inside, you would see it having a substantial margin with which it is glued to the frame. On your phone it would seem that the glue doesn't stick well. If I were you, I'd try to not fiddle with it, as to not let it become completely unglued.
