MonCon

I'm on 2degrees (Welcome Bay) on a Pro1X running LineageOS, and I've had missing SMS for the last 2 or 3 weeks. Discussions with Mrs MonCon revealed that some texts had disappeared into the ether, apparently delivered from my end, never received to her end. Like you, I put my sim into a backup phone and it worked, then back into my PrawnX and it worked. It's just started playing up again. On Friday I sent Mrs MC a few texts from the dining room to the lounge, and when we compared notes, again a few missing. Don't think I've been missing any incoming, but I'll ask around, and n

As the saying goes: "The great thing about standards is there are so many to choose from" P.S. @EskeRahn Agree that a grounded 'sleeve' terminal at the base makes a lot of sense.

More of a workround than a fix, but this is what I use to get audio from my Prawn to my car. https://www.jaycar.co.nz/digitech-fm-transmitter-with-bluetooth-technology-and-usb/p/AR3140 Gives you a couple of USB sockets for charging as well. P.S. I've not had the reboot problem myself, but I've only ever plugged in headphones via a '3 pin' plug (TRS). Is the cable that's causing the problem a TRS or TRRS? https://audiouniversityonline.com/ts-vs-trs-vs-trrs-audio-connectors/

Both, for nearly two years LineageOS, it's super Perish the thought

I vaguely recall reading some discussion about that when I was having a similar problem some time ago. Toggling speakerphone on and off seemed to resolve it, then I think the issue just went away, maybe with an update or the switch to LineageOS. A couple of links:

lineage-21.0-20240701-nightly-pro1x OTA installed okay, 'Camera' and 'Open Camera' still working, root maintained :)

Update's arrived I'll give it a go

Working ok for me, up to 200MB and still going, connected over WiFi. Edit: Download complete. Edit: Installed.

@david How's Mr Peaseley doing? He's done a grand job, but it must have been quite an ordeal for the little fella. I hope he is all sewn up and on the mend. Get well soon Mr Peaseley. Xxxx

Oh, I can see how that could be a major pain in the bum if you bootup somewhere without a trustable useable wifi signal. Fascinating, I always presumed mobile phones had either a little lithium battery or a big capacitor holding up the clock while powered down or rebooting or such. @claude0001Some interesting reading in those links on your post, and this behaviour apparently going back some time. @EskeRahnGPS sync is an interesting idea, hadn't thought of that. @LaskaOr could you hotspot off another sim card e

would a workaround be to enable settings -> system -> date & time "set time automatically" ?

Companies House may add a bit of clarity: https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/11602958 or confusion

Found these 'internal photos' for the Pro1, on some FCC, (I think), website: Device page: https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/2AUCLQX1000 Photos page https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/2AUCLQX1000/4458316 Unfortunately nothing is labelled on these photos, so probably doesn't tell you anything you don't already know. Edit: These have got a few labels: https://fccid.io/2AUCLQX1000/Internal-Photos/internal-Photos-4458316

I always carry mine in the belt case with the glass side towards me. I figure I'm generally better padded than most of the things I could bump into, especially around the waist.

The old Psion case has begun to look a little tatty, so I thought I'd treat myself to a new belt case for my little Prawn, so I went on the hunt. I came across this one on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/225439458956 It doesn't have the Pro1 or Pro1X listed as a supported model, but the seller has lots of good feedback, it's the style I want, it's real leather, and I like the look of the thing, so fairly promising. I took a punt and ordered one, selecting a phone model from the drop down list that I thought was there or there abouts on dimensions, (Xiaomi Poco M3). A bit longe

And if it turned up in time for Xmas you could call it your 'Pro-Ho-Ho-1X'

I thought all the Pro1X's were blue. Looks brand new either way.

@claude0001 Thanks for that, I vaguely recalled discussion about needing to boot the OS (or at least the kernel) in the background to begin charging, but I couldn't find the thread, so in the end I thought my recollection was wrong, or I'd dreamt it. So with offline charging enabled (if you can, I can't get it to work on my PrawnX), maybe there's just enough juice left in your battery to boot just the kernel but not the full OS? But the hardware can't dumb charge the battery on its own without the kernel, so regardless anything else, if the battery is depleted to totally flat then

In my experience, generally red is +ve and black is -ve. I'd check the polarity with a voltmeter before connecting them.

@hlingSorry to hear about your problem, I hope you get a quick local fix @EskeRahnDoesn't the 'fastboot oem off-mode-charge enable' or 'fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1' discussed in this thread: alleviate the flat battery problem, (at least on stock android at the moment), or can you still end up in a chicken and egg situation where you can't charge to turn the phone on, and you can't turn the phone on to charge. @hlingUnfortunately of course you can't turn the phone on to change this setting if your PrawnX turned up flat. Or you could try giving it a kick up the bum wit

Deleted, misread the question. Oops.

Welcome back King Prawn.
