  1. Before disassembling, try applying good pressure to the marked position on the phone's back cover, that can put the connector back into place; for me, it has done the trick several times now (see also here) and so far I didn't have to do the disassembly at all (as to not adorn myself with borrowed plumes, the original image in this case is from androidauthority.com, I've just added the mark):
  2. I see. I might try an older stock then, if OTA is still up i might be lucky. If I understand this correctly, if the freshly flashed 20200825 ROM doesn't do the touch margin adjustment, neither would an OTA update from an earlier version – and you might be having a completely different problem. "Screen completely unresponsive, 100% not working" would also make it seem so. But just to be sure, did you actually boot the 2020825 stock ROM after flashing it? It needs to start up once to do the touch margin adjustment trick.
  3. Excellent. I still guess I'll wait for the Pro1X to arrive before I make the update 😉
  4. Nice to see 19.1 is there for the Pro1! My phone says manual upgrade only; before I'd go into that, would there be anything special to take care of when upgrading a LineageOS + Magisk 23 + Gapps setup except sideloading Magisk and Gapps in the process? I think my last version upgrade also was the first time I added Magisk. Hmmm... A quick look has turned up no traces of any LineageOS work in progress for the Pro1X on either Github or gerrit, did I miss something. Anyhow I wonder, now that the delivery of two Pro1X devices (with LineageOS as OS choice) seems to come closer, what OS
  5. For me, my attempt to use ext4 has caused serious trouble for some regular use cases, and some apps just didn't work anymore with their data configured to be stored on the SD card. Generally, and since one 512 MB card (Kingston "Canvas Go! Plus") actually did fail for me already, I'm now going for sensibly fast (and thus not the cheapest) Samsung or Sandisk cards...
  6. What the sell on Igg is not just the display, but the display mounted. True; still, to the best of my knowledge there haven't been any shipments of that display assembly by the manufacturer as a spare part for many months. Of course, with the new phones now being in production, that may change any day.
  7. I remember we had that car holder thread, but did we have something about bike holders yet? Surprisingly, my first attempt at trying something out (now that I bought a new bicycle after not having cycled 15 years or so) was a winner. Of course, the sliding mechanism is locked, but I couldn't imagine typing something while sitting on a bicycle anyway... The exact item seems to be available through Amazon's European sites with the same ASIN (B09QX474PY). here's the UK link (where it isn't in stock, though): https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09QX474PY/ The relatively thick Pro1
  8. @dreamflasher I'm afraid it wasn't you who adjusted those margins, that's how those displays come from the manufacturer these days. It's an internal predefined minimum for those margins, to which Android's margin settings can only add, they cannot substract. And non-stock ROMs have no way to reset them to the Pro1's defaults. To date, with current custom ROMs the only way to get the original margins back is is to flash stock Android, then flash your preferred custom ROM. There's a long thread about it:
  9. Now that I think about it, I wonder whether they're doing separate manufacturing batches according keyboard choice again, like they did with the Pro1.
  10. @claude0001 Yeah, I guess I see your point, at least if there actually is a web page to register through, which is at least the case in the supermarkets around here...
  11. Would GOTA (Google Over The Air) imply the device will be getting over the air system updates as long as Google themselves make them? That would be a major improvement for those choosing stock Android.
  12. Hmmm... So that seems to be a more general problem then we for whom it happened after self-replacing the screen thought? No idea for how to fix it except re-glueing it... which seems to come with a definitive chance of it becoming loose again, though, and comes with other dangers, too, since it would involve disassembly first...
  13. Germany here, also problems accessing the mobile networks in (some) supermarkets. When some years ago I found my erstwhile phone to behave suspiciously after having used the wifi of the hotel where I had been staying, I became extremely careful with public and semi-public wifis, too, though, and I wouldn't even call it paranoid. 😉 But I guess that's what VPNs are for... Until now I didn't bother to create a VPN endpoint in my home LAN for that purpose (it's still on my wishlist because it obviously would also allow access from everywhere to all of my home LAN resources without furth
  14. Wow, seems I haven't been up to date with regard to Magisk... Looks like not only MagiskHide, but also everything related to SafetyNet is removed from current Magisk releases. (See John Wu's statement in https://topjohnwu.medium.com/state-of-magisk-2021-fe29fdaee458) now that he's working for Google, and also this XDA Developers thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/discussion-magisk-the-age-of-zygisk.4393877/.) That said, MagiskHide seems to be in the state of being replaced by the Zygisk (Magisk running in the new Zygote mode) "deny list"... And the tools to ensure Safety
  15. You also might want to remember that there still is a probably small, but unknown amount of unfulfilled Pro1 orders which were converted to Pro1X orders that I very much hope will be served first! 😉
  16. Unfortunately, the battery doesn't seem to add anything new to help us source it as a spare part from somewhere outside Fxtec...
  17. I have the same problem but it has reached the state it mostly don't work and it is a pain to put it on a charger and it results in stopping after about 20-30%... I mean mechanically. I'm still not sure how much of my charging problem is mechanical and how much software. While applying some pressure in this or that direction mostly does either change between charging/discharging states or reduces/increases the charging current (I closely watch the AccuBattery app's current display when I do that), I frequently encounter a state in which such pressure won't make it charge again. Then,
  18. That's where my self-replaced screen has developed a gap between the casing, too, after it had been the same with an earlier replacement that had been done by a repair shop. Looking at the phone closely, I now found that the casing bends backwards there. I suppose the usual glue (I've used T-7000) just isn't strong enough to resist the separating force applied by the bent casing. That said, I've never had any problems yet with touch-insensitive parts of the screen or something similar.
  19. No, don't say that, please. I was still under the impression that the "before Christmas" that was communicated for my Pro1 in 2019 will at least hold true for 2022!!
  20. Yes, there are. Then again, history is just repeating itself here. Fxtec's information habits were similar between announcement, development, and the several production and shipment phases of the original Pro1. While that doesn't help anyone and doesn't make anything better, it means any implications like they "ran out of funds" or "lost interest" are not warranted. Yes, it's the abominable way they've been doing communications right from the start – nothing less, but nothing more, either.
  21. @EskeRahn I tried pressurized air, but to no avail... Both the USB socket and the magnet adapter seem clean... @VaZso Sounds very similar to how my issue developed over the last few months. Mine is still in the state that charging is mostly reliable (although sometimes varying in current...) once it has started, as long as I don't touch the phone... I wonder whether the Pro1X might still have the same connector board, which would increase the dim chance to ever get such a thing from Fxtec as a spare part... My soldering skills wouldn't be up to the task of replacing the connector on
  22. By the way, regarding my several charging problems, new observations substantiate a suspicion that those cases in which my phone simply drops to 'discharging' and stays there are now caused by the USB socket slowly becoming unreliable, even though I've been using magnetic adapters all the time...
