eda 4 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Hi everyone, After 3.5 years of waiting, battery charging issue, I finally get my device working. But my happiness didn't last long, after first boot I found out small annoying artifacts on the bottom screen corners: Is there anything I can do with that or it is a warranty case?

claude0001 1,341 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I wouldn't worry about those. My Pro1's (got two of them) and my Pro1-X have had these black spots in the corners of the screen since day one. They haven't worsened over time (we're talking years for my initial Pro1) 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eda 4 Posted August 23 Author Share Posted August 23 I don't think this is acceptable for 700+ device. I really do worry. Super annoying for my eyes. I've open a ticket with fxtec support (are they still in a business?) asking for refund or replace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You must be new here ... Sorry for the pun, but you'll soon learn that f(x)tec is no ordinary business ... 😄 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm ready to accept their uniqueness and repair brand new device by my own. Just looked at the angry comments on indie, I'm not alone with this problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Happy to meet someone who is capable of joking on the subject. 🙂 You're not alone with that problem. As far as I know, most Pro1's and Pro1-X's have screens that shown black spots in their corners. Most users simply accepted them until now. I do not know of any standards that an AMOLED screen must legally fulfil in this respect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hook 3,020 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 In general, I use dark mode on my Pro 1 and Pro 1x, as well as black wallpaper, and I never see the spots on the corners. ;) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EskeRahn 5,460 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I have several Pro1 and Pro1X, and they all got it to some degree, sorry. It is the same screen from Boe used on the Elephone U, and you can find complaints on that too. So though annoying, it would be really lucky to find one without the issues... 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CornholioGSM 338 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) It is normal of FX devices...my pro1 from first serie was delivered with same problem. Soo i have immediately contacted fx for solution. Fx have sent me gratis another new display but with another problems 😞 Really good solution is set corner radius - some root and some not root apps can made it. As i see your corners defects are small soo it will be invisible 🙂 Corner radius settings was in one custom android 10 and 11 rom ...it was not lineageos...but i forgot name 😞 BTW...i have contacted fx again after 1+ year ago and finally good display was delivered soo now i have one good display and two spare displays with little defects 🙂 This is manufacturing problem defect. On samsung devices was it same , BUT samsung phones have fixed smoother corners set in boot/firmware soo problem is not visible. EDIT...custom rom was AEX aka AospExtended...it was really good rom Edited August 24 by CornholioGSM 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingAntero 871 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 You can use app called Round corners and Hide notch to make the curve of the corner bigger (there are other apps too). It is not a perfect fix since it does not work in the settings or the drop down menu. However, it can help little bit. Maybe with root you are able to make better fix? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=round.screen.corner.hide.notch 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On aospextended was this "fix or settings" visible when booting...but it was implemented to rom... On lineage was it not working too good Edited August 24 by CornholioGSM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know only apps like Cornerfly and Rounded in addition to the one that I mentioned earlier. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flyperinc.cornerfly https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=notchremover.smallapps.com.roundedcorners BTW, it would be great feature to add Pro1/Pro1-X Lineage OS builds like edge margin. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure but maybe this (in rom)corner settings was gone with new kernel? ...but it is not question for me... Maybe is this question for npjohnson - lineageos developer.

Tsunero 215 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eda 4 Posted August 26 Author Share Posted August 26 (edited) Thank you guys for all your answers and support! Really envy you all who can live with screen disperfections. I have some kind of psychological issue, any little scratch or crack on the screen is a deal breaker. :))) Maybe is a time to go to psychologist, because I like all other aspects of the pro1x so far.
