Interesting, on my original screen the corners were purely perma black, no amount of brigthness did anything with them. The replacement screen is similar to your defect, a little bit of stuff is visible, like it has that black layer on top of it but the pixels are still toast for the most part.

Crazy how most of the batch this is from is probably also busted. Welp I gotta make sure I don't break it again. lol At this point I am just waiting for someone to make a flip with actual headphone jack. (since I like the benefits of a clam in size) But nobody is willing to make one...I honestly don't get the obsession with dust and waterproofing, especially the latter. So yeah until then this old boi needs to hang in there.

Replaced the screen, well it has 2 defective corners....too bad but at least it's not broken anymore.

I'll have my replacement screen from Ali next week (after a good month of waiting), we'll see if it has any of the black corners, probably will, as my original one had 2 of them.

I don't think so, I found a video where this guy replaces the screen and the new one "just works" although he did not check for dead zones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnUxhqO274Y

Aw that's rough, I couldn't even get a frame as that was sold out. so I wonder if the screen will even operate with the original. lol It's just a matter of weeks until it arrives.

Thanks for chipping in, I actually don't mind that. (but I always ran stock on this, so maybe the "issue" won't be present?

Looks like only the one with frame is sold out, but I can reuse the existing frame fine, just a bit more work according to the repair videos I saw. I was able to place an order for the screen itself.

Was looking around Ali and found this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005062900944.html Seems a bit too cheap to be true, or are these screens this cheap nowadays? I managed to nuke my Pro1 in the most stupid way. I put it down on the bathroom counter (not even half a metre height) and while I was doing other stuff it slid off and planted face fist into the floor. Rip (the black blobs I already had for a while, I just refer to it as screen cancer, they just popped up randomly one day, but I had busted corners with black spots from day 1) So yeah, I am not t

Sadly a lot of the Pro1s have this defect, mine included, and on mine it's not even nearly symmetrical like on yours. Definitely not acceptable but if I ever RMA'd in the past there is a good chance I wouldn't have seen the phone for years so I just put up with it.

They have had problems since the start, it took nearly a year to receive my original Pro 1 at the time. They have barely shipped any phones last or this year as far as I know. They have other products apparently but overall we can consider this company bankrupt.

Bruh I am sorry but you will probably never get that money back.

This was eons ago, for the original Pro1 when ordering through the site. (so it wasn't backer based on another site like Indiegogo)

I bet those are part of the pre-order bonus we never ever got. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Doubt it, company is near bankrupt, it's even a miracle they were able to go a few years considering the OG Pro1s shipped extremely slowly. (and I believe there are some people who haven't received theirs even now...)

I am also considering retiring mine, it's been a good 3 years but I realized it is extremely clunky to haul around. Those flip ones like the Oppo Find N2 and similar Samsung ones are extremely tempting but the pricing is horrible on them for the gimmick to literally fit my backpocket so I may end up using my Pro1 until it's completely dead. lol

On my Pro1 the reader just died after 3 years. lol (I am too lazy to take it apart but maybe it just disconnected by itself somehow) It wasn't an issue for me actually because I use a flip case, I do miss it to some extent but can live without it.

I think my fingerprint sensor just died after 3 years (OG Pro 1). Not even a restart is bringing it back to life, and it's like the phone forgot my prints because it's asking me to register again, but nothing happens when I try. lol (this is a new issue for me, previously I only had the ear speaker and microphone not working or the camera not working sometimes but a restart fixed those) Anyway, if it stays dead it doesn't really bother me, it was a nice feature to have but the lack of it is not enough to force me onto a new phone.

I'd legit just superglue it back into the slot. lol (in case it goes completely dead it wouldn't matter if you yanked it out with force at that point anyway)

Probably the incorrect topic to ask but maybe it's relevant here a bit as well. Recently I got a new 128GB pendrive which has both usb 3.2 and usb c. I plugged it into my Pro1 but it can't read it no matter the file system (it is recognized at least). So I am wondering if this is an android 9 limitation or if it would work on newer version / a different OS. Works fine on PC. Edit: Nevermind, FAT32 formatting works if I do it with the phone itself. lol Too bad it doesn't support NTFS.

The indicator light is on but it just doesn't charge sometimes. A couple tries fixes it. (but yeah it's possible I got some gunk in there as well)

My OG Pro 1 does it too (still on Android 9 lmao, I am so lazy..). Thought I just had a dying charging port but it has been like that since day 1, it charges fine 95% of the time despite me giving it heavy abuse these past 2 years.

I wouldn't send it in, there is a high chance you won't see it for another year..or never. If it's indeed a battery depletion issue, just grab one from Ali or whatever and switch it out, it's easy to service. (or if you got the means, take out the original and give it some charge other way)

Oh, good for you. I guess that was hit and miss then. I should have complaiend back then I guess but I have long let that go so it's my fault. xD

I wouldn't hold my breath for the free stuff. OG Pro1 owners were supposed to get a decent case for free (back when pre-orders for that were a thing), they swapped it out for a lame sleeve (was in the box with the phone). The promised free headphones never came. lol
