OK STEP BY STEP COMING UP...

Are you even reading what I'm saying?

Keyboard helper fixes nothing. I already stated that.

You should try the LineageOS (see the long thread) where quite a lot of the bugs have been ironed out, and I hope that many of these fixes will find their way to stock. Either directly copied, or largely inspired by. There are still a few left, but especially @tdm has been very active in fixing stuff.

Flash a different OS to get the phone's sole selling point to work as expected? Got it.

I have paid money for a product, not to be a beta tester. 

I have searched the forum and tried the solutions, including this external keyboard helper, and none did anything to fix.

I appreciate you trying to help but please drop that apologist attitude. What are you even proving by telling me you typed that on a pro1?

I've spent a while with the phone and while i really love the overall keyboard layout and the slider mechanism (a little too tough though), it has some serious issues and will probably use my pevious phone until maybe the pro2 fixes those problems

Accidental touches on the screen edges.

This isnt 2007. I thought we solved this problem ages ago.

Curved screen

Just.... why? there are no positives to using a curved screen to the user. message boxes in landscape mode will sit weirdly in the curved part of the screen and attracts annoying reflections.

Keyboard issues

WHERE DO I EVEN START?! The one job the pro1 had, it fails MISERABLY. Had this one been done right, I'd have happily endured the above two issues if it weren't for this.

• Keyboard ignores 2nd press if already holding another key. It doesn't sound like a problem untl yur typng strts to look likethis!
• some keys like to repeat if pressed once. not a good look when your friend's first typing test on this phone was "I'mmmmmmmmm typing on the pro1"
• the 7yhb column of keys do not work if they were the first key to be pressed after waking the phone. if someone says hello, you can't even say hello back because the H key isnt working until you press another key.

 

I feel the fxtec team were more focused on ticking boxes on a product description than to make sure it all worked, which you can tell by just..... using the phone.

 

I really wanted to stick to this phone for however many years until we get the pro2, but it looks like I'll be going back to my blackberry key2. i'll look at the pro2 whenever that releases, but with more caution than enthusiasm.
