Excellent, thank you! Perhaps then I might even be able to add it to my device without changing the running system... Must have a deeper look into it some day.

Ok, if you're already on LineageOS, that makes it worse. Then the "action" your anger eventually needs to turn into will indeed probably be to move to another phone... My impression is that Fxtec has knowledge about most of the problems; there's even an unofficial github repo for issue reports which they should be aware of. And as with every other of the many issues we had with the company so far (including my waiting for a phone since October 2019 and their bad communication practices), I still think it's not because of malevolence or even just neglect that they didn't do something about

I would have tried to use stock, too, if I had bought a phone that would have come with stock. But as it was, it came with Lineage, and I'm glad it did... At least in case of the Pro1 X, I guess Lineage is going to be the new stock, anyway. No need to modify your phone, you'll get it preinstalled. And no matter how much better the Pro1 X stock Android might turn out compared to the Pro1, Lineage will probably be better, and it will probably support the specifics of the phone better, because that's where the developers are said to be working now. I guess they just wouldn't have the same op

Oh, no need to be sorry. I'm feeling with you. I went the Motorola way, too – after having had my share of fun with BlackBerry, when they stopped issuing security updates for the PRIV I had bought only a couple of weeks before. That was when the keyboard mod seemed to be just around the corner, so I bought a Moto Z... Which was a catastrophe, with an undersized battery that I had to have replaced twice during the time I had that phone, and then got a Moto Z3 Play which was ok. But didn't have a keyboard. And the Moto Z had been my first smartphone without a keyboard, so I continued to feel amp

It could be that they're simply not able to improve the software that much. As far as I know, the mainboard manufacturer is the one providing the stock Android for the device, and Fxtec might be mostly limited to what they can make them do, which doesn't seem to be all too much. Which might just have been why they've contacted the XDA developers community with the plan to get an official LineageOS and an official Ubuntu Touch OS for the phone. My first few weeks with the Pro1 under LineageOS 17.1 (it was a used device with LineageOS already installed) are nothing like your experience. A

I thought it might make sense to start a new thread after the Pro¹ X practically having become a new device, with several months ahead of us before we can hope to get one. Here's F(x)tec's latest info which came in via IndieGogo right now: Reason to stay optimistic after all, I'd say, despite the additional waiting time... Cheers, Robert

Same here from the settings menu.

I am noticing an issue with fingerprints: If I remember correctly, there's the one thing that the system stops accepting fingerprints for some time after too many unrecognized attempts, which can easily and unwillingly happen with our device because of the scanner's position. Whenever this happens, my banking app reports changes in my fingerprint configuration and stops allowing me to authenticate via fingerprint, until I authenticate via PIN and re-enable fingerprints in the app's settings. This doesn't bother me too buch, though, as it doesn't happen too often anymore after I

Ordered the last package that was available from a marketplace seller through amazon.de (8.88 €) on Friday – I'll report back when I get them...

Not for long, by the way – the card stopped being accessible in the midst of some large amounts of copying with the whole phone slowed down to a crawl, which made me go back to FAT32, and finally I have access to my music library with it...

No problem. I used to think similarly when I had my first rooted phone, but then I got a BlackBerry PRIV and that was that – currently, I just want a phone that works, and one of the traits of LineageOS (an unrooted installation of which is what my second-hand Pro1 came with) is that it works better than stock with our device😉 Looks like I finally could get back to being rooted when I switch to AICP at some point, though.

Sounds good, with the caveats you mentioned, of course – but I guess it's not an option on a non-rooted device 😉 Will be interesting to see how AICP behaves in that regard.

I'm struggling a bit getting my SD card to work the way I wish. As I expect to change from LineageOS to AICP in the foreseeable future, I decided to not mount the card as internal memory (which I usually did with my earlier phones). At first, it seemed like the SD card would work after being formatted to ext4 on my laptop. But at some point it stopped being writeable for apps even after explicitly giving them write access. Apps didn't report not being allowed to write, they reported being unable to. Some tried forever until I killed them. I thought I might have done something w

Unfortunately, all attempts to identify the battery type and manufacturer and to find an alternative source have so far been unsuccessful...

Interesting. Seems we have to wait for a future in which Android/AOSP comes with a 5.7+ kernel to be able to see wider adoption of ExFAT? Paragon's payware app to access ExFAT drives seems to have its problems, and while I never had issues before with any Paragon software I used, after my abominable experience with their commercial Linux filesystem drivers for Windows which just stopped seeing any partitions and their support wasn't really helpful, either, I'm rather hesitant to give them any more money... But it looks like I might want to make the switch to AICP perhaps a bit sooner

Is there perhaps a chance to get ExFAT support in LineageOS 17.1+? As of now, it seems it isn't there, as i can't unload my camera that formats its SD cards as ExFAT, and my camera doesn't accept cards formatted as FAT32, either, so I'm out of luck (today, the camera maker's app somehow didn't function properly, either, so I had to go through my laptop...). As @tdm seems to have successfully enabled ExFAT in AICP, it looks like it would theoretically be possible? I might choose to switch to AICP at some point, but as of now I'm extremely happy that I have an excellent phone that does

Yes. Because no-one is forcing you to buy from them – or to preorder their bag on Kickstarter. You know what you get involved with beforehand.

Calling you naïve is just stating the obvious if you try to defend "rights" which aren't there, and which nobody sees except you. And you really ought to consider the possibility that when you're the only one who sees something that something might actually not exist. More importantly, please read my last two paragraphs above again. They're applicable even in the improbable case the thing you're seeing would actually exist, against all odds. In this reality we're in, we don't even need to fight about whether that "right" might somehow exist or not (and I'm not going to continue to i

Thanks, I wasn't even aware of that. That's even better, and gives even less reason to complain (as long as those updates actually come)...

How naïve and out of touch with reality can someone be? Do you really think you're the first person to think you don't get what you deserve, or to fear you might not get a product you helped crowdfund? Do you know how many people already did lose substantial amounts of money by not getting a product they helped crowdfund in 20 years of crowdfunding being a thing on the internet? And do you honestly think none of them would have thought they might have had a right to get their money back, and tried, even though every crowdfunding platform warns them of the risk that they might not, which e

This is not "blind faith", and it doesn't even matter what they "deserve", and if it would, their history would be the one and only thing to decide whether some "faith" was justified or not. But it doesn't. This is simply a situation we as customers can do nothing about, as much as we might want to jump and shout. If they would finally fold, we would be without our ordered phones and without our money. For me, that's two phones and the price of two phones. The only way I can help improve the chances that I'll get those phones (as there's no chance anymore to get the money back) is to trus

Some, yes. How many? The complaints in this forum could be an indication for how many, given that the percentage of unhappy customers who will find this forum in the end will probably be larger than average for a device like this. By the way, when "I don't really know" it is not my habit to always assume the worst. I will consider that the worst could happen, after all, but I don't construct accusations just because of the remote possibility. Most importantly, I don't let such occasions make my life harder than it already is. Patience is not only a virtue, it is good for one's own blood pressu

The thing is, if they were set out on a scam, what they're doing now just wouldn't make sense, it wouldn't be logical: openly telling not only existing customers, but also prospective customers, that they have to wait another half year for their phones if they'll put in an order now. No, they would rather be doing something more similar to what they did most of last year, it's just that they also did deliver quite some phones over time: they would try to put off customers for another few weeks, and then another few weeks, then perhaps offer some shady explanation, then stall customers for anot

Thanks, I was about to search for it, now that I am a real active LineageOS-on-Pro¹ user, but probably would never have found it by myself!
