Ah, sounds good then! Right, it's similar with me and I've moved to QWERTZ keyboards on most of my devices including PCs. Unfortunately there's no German QWERTY layout for the Pro1X...

I was wrong with Netflix being the only app affected; Google Pay's doesn't work either, it doesn't accept any payment method "on this device". Same problem that needs special treatment on rooted LineageOS, but this is the first time I've seen it on unrooted stock, and that "special treatment" also requires root which I don't have... @jakfish, does your Play Store also say "device not certified"?

This is weird, I have a QWERTZ Pro1X that has Google Play Protect certification ("device is certified"), and an otherwise identical QWERTY Pro1 ("device is not certified") (Play Store -> menu -> Settings -> About), both unrooted stock Android 11. Just noticed because I didn't find Netflix on the QWERTY one. Any ideas about how to get the "certified" status? What do your devices say there? For now, Netflix seems to be the only app I have problems with and they can be easily overcome, but who knows...

Thanks, that might be a viable workaround. Unfortunately I do need ä, ö, ü, ß quite frequently... But for you, wouldn't the "Czech QWERTZ for physical QWERTY" variant of the FinQwerty layout collection be an option? If I should ever have some time left, I might try and add what I need to FinQwerty myself, but something like that (some time left) doesn't seem too probable for the near future...

Hmm... Worked, but what exactly is it that is backed up there? It was just a 160 MB sized file, much less than what I copied via ordinary file transfer. Seems both file sets overlap, but some stuff is missing in one, some in the other?

While German letters did work for me with FinQwerty on the physical QWERTZ keyboard, did anyone manage to get a usable US-International layout with German letters for the physical QWERTY keyboard?

See title; did anyone do this and succeed? Any caveats? One it QWERTZ, the other QWERTY, otherwise they're identical...

Although search does not turn it up, they still list it (one review, five stars, "bought one from here and from the igg. Best phone ever"), but it looks like the contingent they got from Fxtec would be sold out now...

After some days of trying the LTE Discovery app in No-LTE cycle mode, I've found my LTE connection to be still poor, but at least usable for both the phone and the laptop with casual internet access. At least no more timeouts in the middle of a payment transaction or something like that. (Still taking the mobile router with me most of the time, but now it is not catastrophic anymore when I forget it 😉)

I got the Pro1X I ordered in Oct 2020, but I didn't get the Pro1 (later changed to Pro1X) I ordered in Sept 2019 yet. So while you're not alone, devices actually do get shipped, albeit only in small numbers currently as far as it is known. If you eventually get the phone and don't want it, you can always sell it, though. There's more demand than supply and despite Expansys HK currently offering limited numbers rather cheap, unused devices still sell well on ebay (for up to $750).

Oh come on. @mattock kindly informs us that he found a way and found it was a fairly easy operation. Don't put more into it. I agree that @mattock didn't warrant becoming chided for his helpful comment. Unfortunately, though, I also have to agree with @steff that, despite mattock's suggestion, changing the battery definitely is a far more dangerous operation than I would have thought before opening the Pro1 myself to replace the broken USB connector. While I'm far from being a precision mechanic, I wouldn't call myself clumsy, either. But I managed to destroy the fingerprint sca

I made the order via Indiegogo and it was successfully registered.

Yeah, it more and more looks like they might be bending rules and exploiting loopholes in trying to keep afloat. They also might already be doing that for longer than we might like to believe. Still they seem to be intent on serving every order, and while I understand everyone's frustration, I'd rather see a few hundred devices being offered cheap from Expansys and some others before I get the one order that I'm still waiting for, if whatever is happening there increases the chances of me getting anything at all. (For what it's worth, these, by the way, don´t seem to be offere

I've ordered one some time ago (still waiting for it, though, as accessories are said to be delivered only after all the device pre-orders have been fulfilled) – because Fxtec seems to be the only source for the battery. No-one so far could find that specific type of battery anywhere else. Maybe it's even a custom shape that's not used in any other device. And even if the spare battery might deteriorate a little bit while being stored, a slightly deteriorated battery is still better than no working battery 😉

Yes, I'm on Stock 2.1.2, which has been my daily driver now for several months despite its shortcomings. I didn't bother installing one of the betas yet; my plan is to go straight to LineageOS when it's official. I had no problems with calls until yesterday when the other side didn't hear me until after two or three reconnections, but that also included a mobile router and a bluetooth headset so I cannot say where exactly the problem was yesterday...

For what it's worth... No band switching here, but that doesn't mean there would be a stable data connection, either. Pro1X with stock Android.

Germany without 3G here, too, Vodafone and T-Mobile SIMs: LTE frequently drops on both SIMs, so no good internet, but voice is no problem, both incoming at outgoing calls work well enough so far.

Donate link worked fine for me using Pay Pal. Where is it? 🙂

Yay! Thanks for the heads up, @Sean McCreary !

Problem is, there are very large world regions which are wholly reduced to only LTE, like most if not all of the USA, if I understand correctly... That said, as I verified yesterday, temporarily (until the fix arrives) carrying a tiny mobile LTE router with a second SIM card should make the phone fully functional for both mobile internet and voice calls. The latter just needs VoWiFi support from the provider and VoWiFi priority configured on the phone. (I noticed the limited VoWiFi sound quality, too; it made me think it must have fallen back to GSM after all, but it didn't...!)

For some weeks, as a workaround for the bad LTE connectivity, I've been carrying a sensibly small and light mobile LTE router (TP-Link M3750) fitted with a second SIM card from my mobile provider, taking from the same data quota that the phone itself would use. For the time being, this workaround provides good internet access when I'm not at home, also while driving in my car, for both the phone and the devices for which I would otherwise use the phone as an access point like my laptop. (Too bad that while it takes a Micro SD card, too, this is limited to 32 GB; otherwise I could store my

Connector problem, perhaps?

@Tomatoman29 @VaZso As a late followup to this... ... I can add (I think I mentioned it elsewhere at the time, but forget to add an update here) that I did get the USB connector module for the Pro1 from Fxtec, replaced it and the connection problems were gone. (I found it difficult, though, to open and reassemble the bottom part of the phone without breaking anything, like the tiny wire that connects the fingerprint reader and the inside parts of the phone buttons (camera, on/off, volume +/-)... Maybe support still has some of the boards?

Thanks! That's good to know. The source I had my information from must have done something wrong there then...

Contrary to that guide, I've also read that QPST/QFIL does not even work in a Windows VM under Linux (let alone under Wine, as there is no direct USB access under Wine). For QPST/QFIL, it would seem you really need a 'physical' Windows system.
