As the title asks, can we use external cameras via the USBOTG of the Pro1? I have a fibre-optic camera that I'd like to try, but the USBOTG must be UVC compatible.

As EskehRahn says the TOHKB is held in place by magnets. TOHKB Kickstarter

I've still got my old Nokia N9 that I still use from time to time and my Jolla with TOHKBD. I keep looking at E7s on eBay but I never actually get to buy one. I'll have to have another look next payday.

'Ello. It's me again 😁 As per the title, is anyone else having issues updating Android System Webview? I'm using Aurora Store to install apps (using V3 and v4 together.) V3 keeps telling me there's an update for Webview but it won't install it at all. Webview is actually locked as disabled and can't be enabled at all. I know Google have phased out Webview in favour of Chrome, so why am I getting updates in Aurora Store V3, but not getting updates for it through Aurora Store v4?

Happy to be back in Pro1 land again 😁 Just setting it up and installing all the apps I had on the last one.

That's more than likely what happened to my Pro1, although I didn't actually see mine fade out as I had put it into my pocket.

Update on my own shenanigans: Got an email today telling me that my Pro1 can't be repaired so they have despatched a replacement. Should arrive in a couple of days.

So far I've sent 3 emails and contacted them on Twitter, but no reply. I tried calling a phone number that was included in one of the emails they sent me prior to sending the device back, but had to leave a message on the Giff-Gaff voicemail.🤔

I haven't attempted anything yet, my Pro1 died in November and it's at F(X)Tec for repair. I can't contact them by any means for an update.

Haven't had any updates as yet, but given the Christmas break and the fact we're now in total lock down again, there's probably not a great deal going on there at the moment. I haven't given up though. They've probably tried to contact me but had no luck because my network provider have #%&$€¥ things up and I've been unable to make and receive voice calls for over a month. So that's a potential 2 outfits that could be facing my wrath in 2021.

According to the Royal Mail tracking info they now have my Pro1 at FxTec, so just awaiting feedback on what the issue is. 🙂

Another Pro1 Bumper Case idea that's doing the rounds. This one is a 3D printer file. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4618945

I have got an OtterBox for my N900, but don't use it as I find it moves about a hell of a lot when the phone is being used. But as for opening the screen on the Pro1 I became quite proficient at opening it with one hand by just lifting the top of the screen slightly by inserting my finger nails into the gap and gently pushing the bottom of the screen with my thumb. This method worked with both left or right hand.

It's on its way. Sent it today, but not likely to hear any feedback until New Year. When I do hear back from them I'll update you all.

Quick update on the shenanigans. Got an email requesting I return the phone for possible repair/replacement. Hopefully get it sorted soon. 😊

I'm almost certain it's not the port. I'm not altogether convinced it's a hardware issue at all, but I could be wrong. I'll probably ask the guys at FxTec to explain what the problem is once they get hold of it. Might give some pointers on what to look out for.

Received a request from FxTec requesting further info today, so hopefully things are now moving in the right direction.🤞 Thanks for all the help so far everyone.👍

Sorry if it's getting a bit long winded guys. But I have tried to flash again via the rear USB ports on my PC and I'm now getting this. I might cannibalize the Dell PC for keyboard and mouse to get the newer PC up and running to try that, as it'll be USB 3.

I'm not on Linux. Winedoze 10 on both desktops and tablet, then Win 7 on 1 laptop and ZorinOS on another laptop. I've tried with the Zorin laptop, which basically is another Ubuntu like distro, but there's so much messing about terminal that it was a bit over the top for my old brain. Hopefully I'll maybe hear something from FxTec some time next week. Just out of interest though, my Pro 1 has a very low serial No. Would this probably have something to do with some hardware issues that would have been fixed in later models.

@claude0001 I can believe you about the USB. I always had issues connecting phones to Windows based PCs

You know, I'm damn sure I saw the notification Led flash blue last night, but I could have been mistaken. The phone is on charge, on my display cabinet, with the keyboard open and I'm sure I saw it from the corner of my eye. I sat and watched it like a hawk for 30 minutes and missed half the TV programme I was watching. 😒

I'm actually using an antiquated Dell XPS430/121 from 1997. I'm going to get my more recent PC up and running and have a go with that.

I wouldn't trust a spillchicken either. WTF!? "SPELLCHECKER" Damn Auto-correct

🤬 Grrrrr! Thought I had the bugger then. Last night I reinstalled the ADB Driver and put the phone on charge. Tried another flash just now and the progress bar remained on-screen for a lot longer, and I thought "Ooh...ooh, here we go" Then a different error popped up again this time. "No such file or directory".

@EskeRahnWhen you say about pressing both volume buttons accidentally, when you plug your cable in, I'm wondering if, due to the case not being made for the Pro1 it has put pressure on the buttons and somehow, as I've put it into my pocket the power button got pressed. 🤔
