Absolutely.

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...

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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...).

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...

Spoken too soon! Had to choose my launcher again right now ...

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

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.

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

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.

I asked and they haven't. Reassembled the phone now as it is, and I'm actually surprised it switched on and booted successfully, given how clumsy I've been... That said, and to get back to being on-topic for a sec, in the process I also damaged the volume-up button and the camera button... Thankfully the phone is still usable without both. One other thing happened, too; the screen orientation is now fixed to landscape, as if the keyboard slide mechanism would permanently signal 'keyboard out'. Any idea what I could have missed in reassembling there? (For now, if I have to use the old

My phone doesn't exhibit what you describe, but then again I think we can give you the all-clear there, because what you can touch on the back of the phone is not the camera itself, it is just a clear window over the camera, part of the phone's casing. The camera unit is fixed inside on the opposite plate, the one on top of which is the keyboard.

@Logan Like @EskeRahn, I usually resort to a "real camera" when I want to get halfway decent photos in low light 😉, but, I guess, for the Pro1X, 'Open Camera' might be a decent starting point for low light, too, if it has to be the phone. There might be special apps which add something like 'night mode' (which may or may not call for a tripod), but I have no experience with those...

Regarding that guide... ... I've read somewhere else that QPST/QFIL doesn't work from a Windows VM within a Linux installation, either, as @Casey did suggest; or does someone have other information/experience?

Like I feared, it doesn't help...

With the original Pro1 and LOS 18.1, I mostly did use 'Manual Camera' because I like its interface and it also can produce raw (DNG) files (not with the Pro1X, though), in theory giving me more options for post processing including best-of-breed noise reduction. For the Pro1X, I've now found 'ProShot', which not only can output DNGs, but also has an intelligent image optimisation, which, for example, sharpens the (generally weaker) corners more than the centre, producing visibly better default results than I've seen from other apps until now. Unfortunately it has no HDR options and therefore i

A well founded decision. It's just not compatible with my laziness 😉 Bummer, that strengthens the suspicion... And given that other Launchers also suffer from the issue, it might not even help to uninstall and reinstall Nova... but that's what I did just now. Deleted its data before uninstalling just in case. We'll see how it goes.

I haven't heard about the existence of clandestine OTA updates happening in the background, and I have no reason to suspect my phone would have had any such update in the short while that I have it. That said, I have no idea what has been happening here, either, but, purely speculatively, I could think of some things. Like some kind of speaker calibration happening in the first days of usage, with some usage data gathered and the driver behaviour changing slightly according to the collected data. I have no idea why anyone would program something like that for something as simple as a speaker,

Yeah, I´ve read somewhere that the default launcher includes some basic functionality other launchers rely upon, too... so disabling is not recommended... 😕

All of this, despite being a completely different matter, reminds me a bit of an old Chinese 'Chuwi' x86 tablet/convertible that came with an Android + Windows dual boot setup which was so fragile that even just looking at the incredibly complex flash drive partitioning "from the outside" with a pendrive-booted Linux left the system in a state so that Android wouldn't start anymore. In the end I repartitioned the flash drive, the 64 MB of which had been too small to share it between Android and Windows anyway, and installed Linux Mint. Should have done that earlier...)

I suppose the camera button is connected to the default camera app like it used to be on the Pro1. Problem now is, starting with (stock) Android 11, changing the default camera app is not possible anymore for alleged security reasons. One of the many Android changes over time which artificially limit the versatility and reduce the usability of our phones.
