I really don't expect that they manage shipping at march 2021, they have had delays with other devices as well. Also, I do not feel well with that hinge and we haven't seen an actual demonstration (not animation) of the device being opened. FxTec did that WAY before they started producing and demonstrated that they really believed in their device. Those big keys wouldn't be my preference either (depends on how they feel of course). Hardwarewise it seems to be the better option, especially with that chipset (haven't heard of it yet but it seems to be powerful). But in the end this all wil

Their original plan was to have some devices in stock. Of course they won't produce thousands of devices over their current orders but a few hundreds would be my expectation. There sure is a demand although it decreases the longer they wait (outdated/overpriced would be the arguments there). On the other hand they will want to fulfill all current preorders (I don't call four months of waiting an order), so I'd at least wait until shipping time has reduced to about one month where you can actually expect to get a device at all. This is my personal experience since I waited nine months

As much as Fxtec will hate me for these words: just wait until they have actual devices in stock for 'immediate' delivery. You would get your device slightly faster by buying now but that isn't worth waiting 3-12 months for your device. Also I do recommend setting up push notifications for ebay and maybe even google search. That is how I got my device four months ago (I never spent money faster than after that email).

Good to know that I would have waited four to five more months to get a device (I think it was order number 48k) if I hadn't bought a used one. But I'm still glad that they keep producing and seemingly ramped up the production (at least a bit). Since we were at around order number 10k in may/june, it really seems to go in the right direction.

Thank you all a lot! Knowing that it is slightly more to the upper right (I thought it would be centered, slightly above the FxTec logo) might help with future tries of payments.

Would you mind sharing the information with us? I have some devices (receiver) where the NFC doesn't work and I wonder if I am holding it wrong.

Settings -> System -> (I don't know how it's called in english, maybe 'gestures'?) -> On/Off key, at the same place where you can set up the long press action itself. I remember having a faulty display (proximity sensor mesuring wrong numbers) and getting angry over that function a lot. But when it worked it was awesome. Still, I'm very happy with the LineageOS feature and it's very fast and reliable (as well as very usable without getting sore handwrists). It might be a good option for those with stock Android though.

You can set that up in LineageOS as well, I have set it to 5min (not for temperature reasons, I've also used it 15-30 minutes as well, but to prevent battery drainage if the button is used by mistake. You can set it to 1min, 2min, 5min and 10min (and never, if you don't want to disable it). Regarding the 100ms to xy ms - that setting sure could be set in some system file. However, since there is battery optimization when on Standby, this setting wouldn't work as intended since it takes some time to activate the counter itself. May I ask on which phones you have

The LED will not melt by itself and although it's not cooled actively (you can actually burn your fingers when holding on it), there will be some safety circuit. Using phone LEDs as a flashlight is common since years. Regarding quick access: If you have LineageOS, you can control the flashlight by holding the power button while the display is off. It won't get faster than that. The Moto G3 had a shaking control which was also quite fast (and probably looked cooler), maybe the code/app can be extracted for other phones. Still, seeing all the advantages of LineageOS I would really re

So I was told that it was this thread where I could brag about typing speeds (I completely forgot about it since I got my (used) phone four months after my last visit). Comparison: up to 250 keystrokes with Clavis software keyboard on a smaller phone (G3, traveling distance matters) up to 280 keystrokes (if I remember correctly) back in the days of the Droid 4 / Photon Q up to 440 keystrokes with my laptop and cramped fingers up to 250 keystrokes with my Pro1 keyboard just a month ago (now up to 300). Sadly I can't do the german tests since sticky shift doesn't work in kiwi br

Minute I meant... for a moment I actually thought I was a fast typer ._.

This is like saying it would be stupid to refund now since they will ship most of the devices until the end of the month. Previously they even said they would deliver ALL devices by the end of september. This phrase would apply to every month so far. September, when they were supposed to start shipping, October, November, December (first Christmas was promised, then it was the New Year), January, February, ... - it paused over the CoVid19 phase (March to May) and then as it seemed continued as we were used to. I was lucky and got a used phone from somebody who wasn't actually using his devic

I've seen this with another small company that a bigger investor demanded a physical action with a notification for any kind of unusual money transfer in order to prevent money loss or theft. It could very well be an internal policy with the same reasons since they can't risk any loss of money. What I find most difficult here is that the order doesn't seem to be cancelled until the refund is done. The worst thing for Fxtec would be that the device gets delivered and has to be sent back since it wouldn't be needed anymore. That would be a huge loss of money that would be easy to prevent.

I want to mention that with the update to official the display density (the size of display elements) has increased. By setting it to the lowest size (including font size), it's slightly bigger (I'd say 10-15%) than it was with the previous test versions. This also allows the use of seven main app buttons on the home screen instead of six. For those having the same 'problem', the workaround lies in the developer options: drawings -> smallest width (you can use adb shell too of course). Current settings was 514dp, ~595dp will be the size that we had before. If we set it higher than 60

Regarding the keyboard issue(s): Keys still get eaten away while there are some processes in the back. While I was backing up my pictures and some files, many keys went missing as well. The update didn't fix it but made it slightly better.

Oh god... it was the USB cable (or slot). After researching for a while I found the advice to use a shorter USB cable. I did that. And what can I say? The verification went alright and it installed fine... Installed the gapps too (for safety although already installed before) and it boots fine! Sometimes those developer programs are really fooling with us non-developers... 😞 Anyways... my phone boots again. Now I have to see if my app data was actually wiped (wallpaper and pictures were kept) or if I simply booted and installed on the wrong slot. I'm just happy that I finally found a

EDIT: It was the USB cable... check the post below. So... about my bricking problem: (I always had problems with modding my Pro1, somehow I fail miserably every time) Previous steps: At first I tried to install the official on the previous recovery image. That didn't work and spit out some error messages. Then I installed the official recovery image that was supplied with the other download links. Following happens (or doesn't happen): adb sideload lineage-16.0-20200727-nightly-pro1-signed.zip serving: 'lineage-16.0-20200727-nightly-pro1-signed.zip' (~0%) adb: f

@DieBruine I have had this issue as well. Ghost typing and missing keys are a thing since the first LOS versions. I've never used stock before so I can't compare that. Missing keys are especially happening to me while I download a large file (like the current LOS .zip which I used to successfully screw up my phone). In my view it's about system usage so the scripts or whatever is used to specify what the key input is converted to and if it isn't fast enough it will misunderstand the input as long-press (which leads to the character popup) and double key input, it will type random ghost ke

I have upgraded my Droid 4 back then with a wireless charger. Unmounted the charging coil from a wireless charging backplate of another phone and glued it onto the battery. The backplate actually did fit since it was around 1mm thin. I connected the output directly to the 4 pin connector on the back (no idea what it was for in the first place) which ran on the same line as the USB input. So that should definitely work and I guess it would be quite slim. Does the upgrade option come with a flat USB C adapter so it won't be in the way while holding/using the phone? Also, I don't know ho

Many things don´t work for me here: The color code you provide gives following result (dark to bright): grey - greenish - purple - light purple. Not really the result I am looking for, I´d prefer a setting that applies for a specific brightness range. The shortcut don´t work for me at all - none of them. I haven´t understood the brightness setting so far. So you have one non-automatic brightness setting that you have to enable to use the filter (I don´t like that since you either have lower brightness over the whole range or higher brightness even in the night. Also, as soon as

So is the official ready to install (without wiping) or should we wait until you know which file is supposed to get deleted?

I probably know how to reproduce and fix that issue. If I type FN + ALT (FN = yellow diagonal arrow key), the keyboard input is disabled (at least in text fields where sticky shift works). Typing the thing again keeps it disabled. The third time I type that combination, the keyboard works again. I think that the emoji keyboard (disabled on my phone) is the reason and we are switching through two emoji keyboards without seeing the. Given that you get ghost input every now and then, I could imagine that we trigger this key combination without noticing. I haven´t tried it yet when the i

I did, but I didn't really find a color that equals the greenish tint. What color code did you use? Also, could you provide some settings on how you have set up your own display (automatic brightness, filter set in and so on).

@CornholioGSM Well, the firmware shouldn´t change by changing the screen, or does it? Your approach with changing the RGB output at given brightnesses is good though. Is that done with the app you linked? My internet is horrible and downloading 3GB would take me an entire day... @Slion While the app is quite good, it doesn´t seem to change color output. Even with the filter active as an overlay, at a certain brightness setting the screen is greenish. Even if the brightness is lower or higher by default. This is the case with around 15-50% system brightness. You can also see th

I just wanted to inform you all that I received my refund just in this minute (realtime transfer). It took a while but they are definitely not scamming anybody.
