Tsunero 210 Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 (edited) Was looking around Ali and found this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005062900944.html Seems a bit too cheap to be true, or are these screens this cheap nowadays? I managed to nuke my Pro1 in the most stupid way. I put it down on the bathroom counter (not even half a metre height) and while I was doing other stuff it slid off and planted face fist into the floor. Rip (the black blobs I already had for a while, I just refer to it as screen cancer, they just popped up randomly one day, but I had busted corners with black spots from day 1) So yeah, I am not too sad about it and will repair. I am planning to get a new phone but not yet. 😄 Edit: Meanwhile I ordered that replacement, if things go wrong there is buyer protection anyway.

Hook 2,978 Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 No the screens have always been fairly inexpensive and this one is even available with the proper frame (I believe, I have one in the closet but haven't had the need to install it). And you are lucky, as you have the Pro 1. The new screen will have a non-responsive area around the edges. You'll need to reinstall stock Android 9 and that will fix it because one of the updates included that patch that is needed. Unfortunately, that means you will have to wipe everything. At least I think so. You had to with the Elephone U Pro screens, which are the same screen. We still no real solution for this problem on the Pro1x other than having a Pro1 around to flash the screen with and then transferring it to the Pro1. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tsunero 210 Posted October 8 Author Share Posted October 8 Just now, EskeRahn said: (They are sold out.... ) Looks like only the one with frame is sold out, but I can reuse the existing frame fine, just a bit more work according to the repair videos I saw. I was able to place an order for the screen itself. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for chipping in, I actually don't mind that. (but I always ran stock on this, so maybe the "issue" won't be present? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Breeze 26 Posted Saturday at 06:50 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:50 PM I mailed F(x)tec last Tuesday asking for a screen assembly. No answer yet. I have a replacement frame with new screen with the edges not working 🙁 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a replacement frame with new screen with the edges not working 🙁 Aw that's rough, I couldn't even get a frame as that was sold out. so I wonder if the screen will even operate with the original. lol It's just a matter of weeks until it arrives.
