I actually wouldn't rule this out. Those policies usually are defined per group... And perhaps someone upped the upload options for users at some point, but not for moderators?

Strange. I'll try another one myself. Like above, I'll drag and drop it from my image viewer (XnView) right into the text editor. Ok... It only works if the image is below 2 MB size, so I need to set a fairly strong JPEG compression when developing the image.

You have a big lawn, and you seem to have a big mole!

2560x1920 and 1.6MB was exactly what I uploaded (the output of my RAW converter software). Seems there's a cutoff somewhere between 2560 and 4000, above which an image gets reduced to 1200?

Yeah, I know! I meant this more like a "show what we do with the phone's camera" thread than a thread to discuss image quality or issues with the camera...

You could use termux, which allows to spawn several sessions, and open an ssh connection in each?

Is it really possible that we have not photo thread yet? I'll start one with one of my first snaps to test the camera. Shot with the "Manual Camera" app as JPEG + RAW (DNG), RAW developed with Silkypix Pro Developer Studio 9, which took far too much work to get a result similar to the original JPEG.

YES! It snapped! And now there's normal call audio... Best thing is, it isn't even as loud as I feared. Sounds as if it was low enough even for the workplace, whenever I'll return there. All good! (Why can't I give you a 'thanks' and a 'like'? 😉) __________ While I was following this forum, I thought when I would have read about all the issues and hints and tricks and solutions and workarounds, I would immediately know what to do when something would occur with my phone-to-be. Far from it! I've already forgotten even what was discussed quite recently...

On my phone (LineageOS 17.1, 15 February 2021 update), in-call volume is zero, and that doesn't change with with moving any volume sliders. The phone rings, I accept the call, and I don't hear anything. To hear the incoming audio I need to explicitly switch on the speaker – which then is too loud, and cannot be changed with any volume slider, either. Is this what you're experiencing, or is this different?

Tried to connect the Pro1 to my car stereo (old Pioneer in-dash receiver), but it didn't. On "Pair new device", the "Pair with xyz? [x] Allow access to your contacts and call history" dialog just flashes up briefly with no chance to interfere. It disappears and the message "Couldn't pair with xyz because of an incorrect PIN or passkey" comes up (which also would come up if I'd just have tapped "cancel", by the way). Different from earlier (all successful*) pairing attempts with other devices, the selection box was already checked (possibly because the clever fellow knows the car stereo c

Just when I was prepared to wait another six or more months for the Pro¹ (or now rather Pro¹ X) I had ordered in September 2019, now I got lucky – and my hands on a used device! It came with (non-rooted) LineageOS 17.1 (February 15 update installed like a charm from within the system menu) and all the apps I need work, even banking and the health insurer's app (and Netflix via APK), except only one, the "Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile Softtoken" app for connecting to my employer's VPN from the home office. For the time being, I guess I'll just keep my old phone lying on my desk.

I'm sorry to say that while I did have that exact same issue once with an earlier phone (guess it was the BlackBerry PRIV) I couldn't for the life of me recall how I got it fixed. What I remember is that it must have been some kind of setting (so there's probably nothing broken)...

This prototype keyboard (from the video in the manufacturer's February Update), which, rather than a slider, is a separate clamshell design the phone itself somehow has to be attached to, is still missing the kneecaps keycaps. As far as I can see, this is an affordable lower-end phone that exclusively runs Linux. After different experimental versions it will now ship with Plasma Mobile on Manjaro.

I keep being amazed by the clairvoyant abilities of some people to know what some others, complete strangers to them, knew or didn't know. Now it's no more knowing, only feeling? Accusations which are not provable are worthless – and may say more about those who make them than about the accused. That, for once, is a provable fact.

It's not Fxtec who's actually doing the Android versions for their phones, it's the mainboard supplier which is also responsible for sourcing the CPU, IDEA International Development Co., Ltd. in Shenzhen – in cooperation with Fxtec. I would guess it all depends on how much support by IDEA Fxtec will be able to get out of their contract with them.

That's indeed an interesting question. It would also be interesting to know whether hope might still be justified that at least the two or three most severe bugs which remain until now will be fixed. And how frequently and for how long there will be security updates for either Android version...

So what? Miffed because you're not one of the exclusive five anymore, or one of the exclusive one thousand or whatever the original number of devices was they might have had planned to sell through the campaign? Which they very probably kept increasing slowly as they were led to believe they could still get the PCBs with the SD 835? What would you expect, that they throw away an option to sell more phones just because a few people might get somehow offended by it? Sorry, but I really don't get it.

I suppose when they prepared the IndieGogo campaign they didn't expect to still have that substantial backlog of Pro1 devices during the Pro1 X campaign...

At this point, that's probably the best chance to get a device within a reasonable timeframe.

I'm not sure it have been told if they are going to produce any to stock, or only the ones perked for on IGG or pre-ordered on the homepage. I would not be surprised if they are going for a model collecting enough pre-orders, before making any following batch. / but that is my personal guess only of course (got no inside knowledge on the topic). My memory isn't really improving over the years, but I seem to remember that Fxtec did announce in their IndieGogo campaign that the Pro1 X was as an IndieGogo-only item, not to be sold anymore when the campaign was over and all devices manuf

Yes, I do think so after following this forum for 1½ years. Throughout that time I've never seen a case of someone who didn't either get their phone, or, if so requested, a refund. Fxtec are slow in communication and tend to give overly optimistic estimates, but the one thing they are definitely not is being "dishonest".

Before accusing someone of malice, you might consider that people make mistakes. That goes for me, as I indeed misread your statement and didn't see the X, and it goes for Fxtec, too. Beside that, you seem to overlook the fact that the SoCs for the Pro1 X were already ordered, payed for and confirmed, and there were never any more Pro1 X devices planned than those who were sold through IndieGogo.

Afterwards, everyone's wiser. Especially external commentators who didn't have to do the original considering in the first place. When Fxtec presented the Pro1, they explained very well why they chose the SD 835, and while some would have liked an even better SoC, it was never an option. Back then, they simply couldn't get a better SoC for the small quantities they were about to produce, let alone for an acceptable price. It's as simple as that, and the fact that it was "only" an 835 for the Pro1 and that it is "only" a 662 for future Pro1 X batches is part of the price we have to pay to get a

If that's why you came here, you came to the right place! 😉

The PCB supplier is the one who also sources the SoC for the customer, and for the PCB the customer wants. If the PCB supplier can't get more pieces of that SoC, that's it. After all, the customer can hardly source the SoC elsewhere and solder it on the PCBs themselves. Also, when a SoC has been discontinued, it can hardly be expected that anyone could still purchase it just because some other PCB manufacturer might still be lucky to have some in stock. And a tiny company like Fxtec with such small quantities of their single (!) product doesn't have a choice. They can't go to Samsung
