My phone is sold to Mario and heading to NZ very soon 🙂

Not sold even at £450. That is £211 off the price I paid. FFS, what is a second hand Pro 1 worth then?

Reposted, now with no reserve. It starts at 450GBP and sells from that price upwards. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114651678269

QWERTY in the UK ending tomorrow 26/JAN/2021 @ 1623 GMT https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/F-x-tec-Pro1-Pro-1-QX1000-QWERTY-keyboard-smartphone/114639000304 Just for the sake of transparency, this phone was bought for 661GBP and has a reserve 100GBP less (551GBP) which I do not think it unreasonable for a phone that it only a few months old with a bit of wear detailed in the advert.

I have a QWERTY in the UK. Where about are you in the world?

I've relisted the Pro1 here on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114626976647 It is in the UK but can be posted internationally

This is true on my phone on Sailfish too.

I am not going to continue with the Pro1 and it will be going on eBay very soon unless someone on here wants to buy it first. I have 3 International buyers lined up from Discord, but due to Brexit and the Pandemic I would prefer to sell in the UK. It is currently running SailfishOS v.3.4 but I am happy to load Lineage or Stock Android on for the new buyer before it is sold. In Sailfish the fingerprint sensor doesn't work which I hope is software as it used to work on Lineage when I had that loaded. It is USED therefore the paint is worn on the back surface and on the corners. See pic

With a lot if help from the Sailfish people on Discord I got Sailfish 3.4 on the Pro1. IT IS NOT AS EASY AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. I could not load 3.4 from script after having been on LOS. I had to re-load stock Android (instructions on this forum); load SFOS 3.3 THEN load SFOS 3.4.

I restored stock Android fine. It flashed fine and ran fine. Then I installed SFOS again using this script thing and it is not on a boot loop. I see the first boot logo page for a few seconds, then a black screen, then the logo page, repeating.... Any ideas, please?

Are these instructions suitable for someone running Lineage OS, or were they just meant for people already on the earlier version of Sailfish OS? I ask because I followed them but the phone wont boot past the very first screen with two logos (FxTec [top] and Sailfish OS [bottom]). I've basically wrecked the phone again haven't I!?

Me too. I also have to manually switch off the screen after plugging in. There is some sort of screensaver option with settings for docked, plugged in, etc but this has no effect. Well done on what must be extremely hard work looking after putting Lineage OS but every day on this phone I think how shockingly messy Android is.

Tried this SwiftKey thing. In landscape I couldn't make the stupid icons go away and it covered the whole screen with a grey box sometimes when composing email in K-9. I wish there was an alternative but I really am starting to hate this phone and its shit mismatch of software

OTA update via Settings is incredibly quick now! Did that change from LOS 16 to LOS 17 or earlier?

I really thoughht mine had a physical fault too as it too used to insert numbers into words or move the cursor around the screen-- it was often unusable. I thought one key was influencing another electronically but now on LOS 17 I would say it is 99.9% fixed with respect to the keyboard. Android is completely new to me and even I managed to do a non-destructive update to my Pro1 and keep all my data! Of course you could still have a physically damaged keyboard causing all of your issues but I would be interested to see if the update to LOS 17 helps your typing issues (I have no
