Latest OTA update installed today (2nd October 2024). CAMERA AND TORCH (FLASHLIGHT) NOW WORKING AGAIN! I've been waiting so long for this 😄

Okey dokey, in that case it'll have to be a case of getting a Pro1 and a Pro1X in pieces side by side. Shame I sold my Pro1X! Will keep my eyes out for a cheap one someone is sick of to do some science.

Hiya folks, the title says it all really but here goes the question: What parts are shared between the Pro1 and Pro1X? I'm talking about everything down to the wiring, is the screen flex cable the same? The whole screen itself? What parts of the body/case? The usb module? The minijack module? You get the jist. Thanks! Andy

Hiya folks, just gonna bump this, as I have a faulty screen flex cable or ribbon cable on a Pro1 from it being taken apart too many times. If anyone has any info on a replacement I'd be most appreciative. Thanks! Andy

Update on LOS21. Seems pretty good, not too much different from 20, as in it looks and feels the same. Not totally convinced that reception or battery life is much improved but I'm not sorry I made the upgrade.

Oh wait... Hang on one cotton-pickin minute... When in the bootloader my device is not seen as an adb device, but is seen as a fastboot device. Finished! I just needed an old usb-c 2.0 cable and it looks like I was asking the wrong questions. When in the bootlader the phone isn't an adb device, it's a fastboot device, so searching for adb devices won't turn anything up anyway... All this time I was just asking the wrong questions. I'm gonna update my earlier post from last year where I didn't tell myself what was going on. Sorry for the spam.

Since the last install of LOS20 my pc has been upgraded so I no longer have any 'bad' USB ports, they are all 3.1. However I do have another PC which is not quite so advanced as this one, hopefully it will have a few USB 2.0 ports I can make use of... After a little digging I've found that the 8 pin configuration of USB 3+ makes it bad for adb in fastboot mode, which prefers USB 2 with it's 4 pin connection. I'll try it out tomorrow and get back to ya.

Ah crap, having problems getting adb to list my device in Fastboot mode again. I had this problem last time and spent days getting round it, I've just been reading over my old posts seing if I actually detailed a fix but my posts say "I have this problem...." Then the next one says "After days of fiddling I've got it to work!" without actually saying what I did. Damn you past me... Damn you.

Can it be true? Does this include Mindthe Gapps? I'll give it a try and let you all know the results. Will take a while so don't expect me back on here too soon.

Er... ah... um... oh. Well... Guess I'll stick to 20 for now then. Unless user data helps development of an official LOS 21 build? I'm liking Kzin's words about LOS 21 and being tempted... Mmmmm - signal- mMMMmmm- Battery life. Tasty.

If I install and try out this unofficial Lineage OS 21, will I have to reinstall it again when it becomes official? Or is the "Official" part simply a matter of testing and language? In other words, should I spend a few frustrating days shouting at my computer and phone, only to have to do it again in a month or two? Or should I go ahead and install this, knowing the version on my phone will be official when the website says so?

Hiya folks! Selling my qwerty keyboard Pro1x with standard Android OS. EDIT: SOLD! I'm looking for £250 ideally, will post anywhere in the world at cost to buyer. It has been used for a month or so but is in near mint condition, it also has a personally modified book style case to keep it nice and safe. Unfortunately the phone has all ofthe problems associated with the Pro1x. Thanks and take care Andy

Hiya folks So, I've got a Pro1X with all of the Pro1X issues that I wish to sell. The box has been opened but the device is in near mint condition with a custom book style case that I made for it. Anyone have any idea what the current going rate is for one of these? Will follow with pictures shortly. Thanks Andy

Pro1 or Pro1X?

Hmm, is the silence driven by lack of contribution by the consumers? Or lack of replies by the support team? I guess I'll find out, I've just bought a pay as you go sim which I'll use for continued testing for a few days. Not seen telegram before and thought it would be a bit more in depth than it is, it's just a messaging service. I offered to send my phone to them so they could reproduce the fault and do some debugging, Francisco said no, not yet.

I did contact F(x)tec and got a reply super quick. Fransisco seems to be the guy that always gets back to me, he's been very helpful so far, selling me a new battery and the very last USB-C module for the Pro1. Here was the reply: Hi Andy, Yes we have reports of some conectivity issues which are being troubleshooted. I invite you to join the Beta group at : https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3644-pro1-x-beta-test-scheme-for-android-os/ for further talks with developers and other users. Best Regards, Francisco I hope this is helpful to some people and perhaps g

Hiya folks At the risk of just being another voice in the choir, I too had dodgy LTE connectivity. I use EE in the UK and while using the Pro1X people could rarely hear my voice and calls would often be dropped, it got a bit better when I went outside into the back yard. Yesterday I switched back to my Pro1 and made a couple of tester calls from exactly the same locations in my house as I had experienced problems with the Pro1X and calls were perfect, the people on the other end even immediately remarked on how much better they could hear me. I've read quite a lot of this t

Hiya Gordon I have DM'd you as I have a Pro1X to sell from the UK.

Hiya folks I recently changed the battery in my Pro1 but noticed no improvement upon charge capacity, (I didn't know you can check the battery health). I therefore believe my old battery to be ok health-wise, only one problem... Likle a clumsy lump I accidentally ripped the connector from the end of the ribbon cable. Anyone want the battery for the price of postage? **Edit** Battery has now been claimed and is no longer available. Thanks for your interest.

Hiya folks As the title says, I have a spare USB-C module up for grabs. The only problem is that it has a faulty microphone. I had the USB-C port repaired (so that part is lovely and new) and when it came back, I put it into my phone and nobody could hear me when I made calls, nor could I record my voice. So if someone wants it, you can have it for the cost of postage. Please DM me if you're interested. Thanks Andy *Edit - The part has now been claimed.*

Finally got the USB-C port repaired on my Pro1 and it's now up and running on Lineage OS 20.0. I'm loving it so far, that notification LED settings thing is an absolute dream, the text and icon sizing is lovely, the darker look is far more to my taste, I can also be heard on phone calls again... Looks like the Pro1 is replacing my Pro1X as daily driver.

Oooh! Is that a thing in Lineage for the Pro1?! Sweet, I'll take a look as soon as the USB-C port gets back from the repair shop. Thanks 🙂

Hiya David I began having some problems with the Pro1: Mic wouldn't work when using as a phone, had to use speaker mode. Also my USB charging port starting wearing out, I had to put a weight on the cable to make the connection, even then it was insecure and prone to stop charging occasionally. Also my minijack port starting misbehaving, (I use that a lot as I'm a sound engineer). So from F(x)tec I bought a new minijack port and their very last USB-C module, which also has the microphone on it. I installed the two new parts and the phone worked great, I could make calls and talk

Hiya folks Where would I ask about adding a functionality to the Lineage OS 20 for the Pro1? I have installed lineage on my old Pro1 device to see what it's like and it's good, but it's missing 1 very useful tool: Lighting up the indicator LED to tell me I have messages without me needing to activate my device. I have read a couple of threads that mention 3rd party Apps like Light Manger 2, but I'd rather it be an in built thing, like it used to be.

I was going to start another thread with my own experiences thus far with the Pro1X, but figured it's be better to share with one that already exists... I have had the Pro1 for the past couple of years and I loved it, it had flaws and bits eventually stopped working (Minijack socket and USB-C socket) but overall I love the device. So this is more of a comparison than a top to bottom review. On the Pro1 the keyboard was awesome, GPS was great, having a minijack port as a sound engineer is mega handy, messages were perfect and, once the various modules were replaced; people could hear
