Can you please test HDMI over USB-C? Is it really not supported? I want to be wrong.
[F(x)tec Pro1-X Guides, News, & Discussion] Fenny:
I am giving this company one last chance with the DeckHD screen. If they F me over on that one as well, I will scream from the rooftops to avoid anything related to them even remotely. I STILL don't have a replacement screen for the pro1-x I received a year ago.
[F(x)tec Pro1-X Guides, News, & Discussion] 0xDE57:
Welp, here we are a months and months later. and still no device.

Lets add to the chronology shall we?

FxTech is supposed to update once per month as per IGG terms. They DID NOT update for months between June and Sept. It wasn't until MULTIPLE PEOPLE complained to IGG that IGG forced them (according to some IGG comments) to make their September update.

When they finally did update it was a nothing burger post saying "we've moved shipping partner" (probably because they were selling backers devices on Expansys?, see my previous post in this thread for proof)

It seems the Expansys no longer exists? The URL is down.

Looks like Expansys wasn't that trustworthy to begin with according to trust pilot (maybe that's why it shut down?):

---

Well they've breached terms again! We are nearing 2 months since their last update:

Last update 2 months ago:

Oh! That's right, they have moved onto the next phone

There also seems to be some sketchyness with their Linxdot product?, but I am struggling to find more info. Still digging.

---

And the few phones that are arriving are with multiple issues, bad wifi/cell reception, dead fingerprint sensors, dead batteries on arrival! FxTech's own forums are filled with issues and people asking for refunds.

People are receiving bricks that wont charge! Seems there is some sort of missing charge controller hardware that is supposed to prevent the battery from going below a certain charge level. You can fix this with by manually charging the leads of the battery with a variable power supply.

This review covers the some of issues mentioned:

This thread is a hell of a ride:

https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3326-pro%C2%B9-x-%E2%80%93-state-of-production-and-delivery/

---

Note also how they STILL haven't removed "USB Type-C with HDMI support" from their website. It's been confirmed beyond a doubt this does not work. They have been called out for this multiple times in the IGG comments, and on their own forum. Yet they have not updated. This is blatant false advertising and they have had more than enough time to address it. They are intentionally ignoring.

They also STILL list the SD835 on their website! Lies!!!

Sincerely someone who has been an XDA fan since the CyanogenMod days and wanted nothing more than an official Lineage device...
[F(x)tec Pro1-X Guides, News, & Discussion] 0xDE57:
oh and this is just gold...

This person received one marked: "Does Not Boot Up".

I will quote their response:

"I don't understand why, if it was deemed Unbootable, did they still mail it out?"

---

So not only are people receiving dead phones. But they aren't even taking the time to fix known unbootable phones. They are now just shipping known dead phones without care. This level of incompetence is astounding.

[F(x)tec Pro1-X Guides, News, & Discussion] 0xDE57:
I disagree with the title stating that Android ROMS are dead as XDA is still going strong, if not as popular as it once was.... But this was an interesting talk about the history of LineageOS and even features an interview with the OG CyanogenMod creator!

As someone who wanted nothing more than an official Lineage device since the CynogenMod days (as I am sure many of the Pro1x backers were), this only puts it into context how FxTec has failed to live up to the legacy of lineage.
[F(x)tec Pro1-X Guides, News, & Discussion] 0xDE57:
I guess I was in denial. Android modding is dead.

Now that Fxtec is dead, let's do an autopsy

Fxtec is dead. The phones are listed as out of stock. The website hasnt been updated in months. The company has stopped engaging on any channel/platform. Liangchen Chen lists himself on LinkedIn as CTO of Clicks. Lets do an autopsy. I have been following Fxtec since they tried to build a Moto Mod...

The community has done it's best to document the sequence of events in great detail. Hopefully this is useful to someone.

It should be noted that I reached out to XDA to ask about the state of the project. XDA is now ghosting me. Perhaps due to my critical tone, my apologies. I only wanted this phone to succeed. But it is clear that rooting and modding is dead. The keyboard phone market seems too niche. :(

I believe XDA owes the community a public notice of the state of their involvement project. The XDA logo is still on the product:

This is still under your name XDA. This is your "Official XDA phone": https://www.xda-developers.com/pro1-x/

It's been 4 years. All threads here asking for XDA to respond have been ignored, as I mentioned in previous posts. XDA has not respond for over 4 months and are now ghosting me. Fxtech is ghosting me. IGG is ghosting me.

The complete lack of transparency around this situation from all sides is unacceptable in my opinion.

Since you won't say it publicly, I will:

XDA/Valnet does not have any current relationship with F(x)Tech.​

​

From this email it appears that this project was forgotten during the acquisition by Valnet in January 2022.

Dear XDA/Valnet, Please address this.
[F(x)tec Pro1-X Guides, News, & Discussion] AltFantasy:
they definitely have forgotten everything about this, lol.

XDA probably joined the project for fun or something. Was it announced after some rich business acquired XDA (or at least, the news part, not the forum part) from the original founders? Because, if yes, no way they're going to address this, lol.

Hope someone can help me.

My Redmi Note 5 is stucked n Mi-Recovery 3.0 screen with 3 options: Reboot - Wipe data - Connect with MiAssistant. and continue to go in loop until the battery will be zero.

I was try everything to get connected, and flash again the firmware but no result, first and I think main problem is that my PC cannot see the phone, then with all SW I'm sure I can try to re-install everything and recover back my phone. Data is not a problem since I have all backup in MI account and Google account. I hope some one expert can help me to solve this unpleasant situation.

Is already out of warranty and send to MI service cost 36 EURO just for checking and then more than 90 EURO for repairing, is not worthing the cost.

P.S. I downloaded and try with ADB; Flash; MI Tool, USB debug etc..

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] exnokiafan:
Hi there! I just got a Tab S7 (the "basic" LCD model. not the plus). I update to Android 11, factory resetted it, debloated like crazy with ADB. I'm coming from a Tab S4 that had the exact same debloat and optimizations steps.

I use this tablet ONLY to play some games. I mostly play Rules Of Survival.

Well, I'm really disappointed. The game still lags with the same graphical settings I was using on the tab S4. I was expecting to get a decent amount of free ram after debloating it but it's not that better if compared with the S4. Don't get me wrong, the game runs smoother than on the S4, but from a Snapdragon 865+ I was expecting a lot more. The super crowded scenes now are pretty playable, but it still hangs a bit quite often. I have tested it with different internet connections, same results. Lowering the graphis did not help on the S4 and it does not help on the S7.

A weird issue is related to the touch screen sensitivity. It's usually pretty good but sometimes when I have to aim precisesly with my right thumb, the whole movement of the crosshair feels super slow and inaccurate.

You know what's strage? I have tested the same game on my OnePlus Nord and I had no issues at all. A friend of mine on the latest and crappiest iPad has a bettere gaming experience than mine, for half the price.

Any hint before returning it?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] LSS4181:
I'm having some strange issues with my Galaxy Tab S7+ as well, mostly touch-related. But in overall, the tablet's performance is really disappointing. I was expecting much more from this SD865-based tablet compared to my previous one, Pixel C.

Taps are not being registered accurately. Sometimes it gets registered prematurely (before my finger actually landed), and in other cases late or not registered at all.

From time to time, the tablet would suddenly lose responsiveness, dropping or delaying a good amount of touches, that even holds and drags may break into several separate taps. In rare cases, the tablet would stop responding to touches and generates a few taps on its own at the edge of the screen (the taps are generated at one particular spot and the spot is random, but it tends to be near the navbar if brought up).

As I mostly play rhythm games in which every touch matters, such issues can be devastating. The issue is becoming more frequent since Android 11 update, with average frame rate being much worse compared to Android 10. It seems these touch-related issues become more apparent when the games start to stutter (lower frame rate).

I suspect the issue might have something to do with System UI. On Android 10, when the touch issue happens, it affects everything as I can also reproduce the ongoing issue inside Multi-Touch Test app. On Android 11, things become a bit different, as when the touch issue starts to happen in a game, it seems to affect only that game and the System UI (that it takes about 2-3 swipes just to bring out the navbar), and the impact to other apps, including Multi-Touch Test, is less than before.

I don't know what might be contributing to the touch-related issues. But the tablet's stock firmware is often seen spamming logcat at an incredible rate implying a huge amount of processing is going on behind the scenes, and from the looks of it, a good amount of the logs were audio effect related so it's possible that certain audio enhancements might be very demanding.

EDIT: I also suspected Game Optimization Service might be involved in this. However, that service is part of the core system components, with related code inside system_server, that it's not possible to disable it completely. Although I've taken out the apks systemlessly through Magisk modules (root), it only made sure the service would never be able to launch again, yet its usual routines (scanning apps and detect whether the app is a game) continues in the background, which is done by system_server on behalf of GOS.

PS: It appears Samsung is indeed not happy with people disabling these services, that they're going great lengths to deter people from doing so.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] exnokiafan:
I have deeply read thru your thread this morning. This is ways beyond disappointing. I have ordered and iPad air 4. But guess what? I cannot transfer my rules of survival account from Android to iOS. I will have to return that as well.

The only tablet with at least 6gb of ram available is the Lenovo something pro blabla but it spots a lower Snapdragon with a higher price tag than the galaxy S7.

I will have to stick my galaxy Tab S4 still for a while. I have debloated it like crazy (I just did not remove the game crap system). It will be still kind of bearable for some more time.

Any hint on some alternative android tablets?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] LSS4181:
If it's not about 120Hz display I think some other tablets, including older generation ones, might be good choices.

It's just that I don't think I'll ever pick another Samsung product anymore thanks to the GOS fiasco (app/service apks that would be automatically re-enabled by watchdogs placed deep inside system core processes by Samsung themselves).

As for going for an iPad... sadly, thanks to g00g13 & 4pp1€ intentionally placing barriers on doing cross-platform account transitions (at least losing access to paid/non-paid in-game currencies), it certainly won't be easy to switch.

(PS, nowadays it's not even easy to migrate on the same platform. Restoring a backup, such as those done using Titanium Backup or Migrate from an old device to a new one would not work and I still need to go through the usual transfer procedures from the old device, which varies among games).

Honestly, I don't think gamers are the main audience of Samsung devices, considering how much efforts they put on security stuffs such as Knox (actually, Knox was what led to Google introducing the Safety Net, and all the problems that stemmed from it). The tablet itself appears to be more focused on office/productivity works, as features like S-Pen, air gestures, DeX are more useful for those tasks than gaming.

EDIT: As for touch issues, if you're rooted this thread (from Essential Phone forum) might be interesting. CPU and GPU governors, as well as affinities, might play a role in the issues we're having. Turned out the stock kernel has a good amount of options to tweak via SmartPack Kernel Manager.

Is it even possible to block ads on Instagram and youtube and facebook apps? I literally tried all the block ads apps that I could find without any success
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] jamesta:
I've tried many and they don't work really.

The best ever I've used was Energized Protection which is a Magisk Module and must be rooted to use that. Since it's impossible to like root P30 Pro, it's like useless.

Even if you do root, why would anyone want to go to Android 9.1 🤨

If you find something that works, be sure to let others know :)

[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] jamesta:
Oh that's good, you're rooted!

You need to install Magisk and once installed, look for the module "Energized Protection".

Follow the installation steps they provide you.

More info: https://energized.pro/

Alternatively you can use NetGuard : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.faircode.netguard

I would suggest to support the developer and use the Pro Version.

Once NetGuard is installed, look at my screenshots, please go to Options > Advanced Options

Turn on:

- Filter Traffic

- Filter UDP Traffic

- Block Domain Names

Go to Settings > Backup

then from the energized protection website, you can use the block list in txt and paste it into NetGuard's Host file Download, so it indicates to use the list to block Ads.

I can confirm with NetGuard: No more Google Ads and other miscellaneous ads on websites, I'm also not seeing any Ads using the XDA app. ☺

You'll have to download MicroG and add your Google Account. Once after you set that up, you can install YouTube Vanced.

Follow those steps correctly and no more Ads or Commercials.

I don't use Facebook, Instagram or Twitter so can't say if it will block those Ads, I'm assuming it will. Please test and let me know.

Thank you so much for your detailed tutorial! I actually tried Energized Protection option and it did not work on Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube apps. I also tried adaway and it did not work either.

Since I couldn't block ads, I went ahead and updated my device to EMUI 10 because I don't like EMUI 9 and there's no point in using it.

I also could not install TWRP on my device. Is there any solution to install custom ROM on P30 Pro? If there's a way to do that, I'll downgrade to EMUI 9 and root my phone again and install a custom ROM. Thank you.
[Huawei P30 Pro Questions & Answers] jamesta:
Hi,

You're welcome!

Unfortunately I don't know of any custom ROMS for P30 Pro, I'm stock and just using NetGuard to block my ads, working great so far no ads for me.

I used same setup on my old Nova 5T and didn't work with NetGuard, but seems to work perfect on P30 Pro.

YouTube Vanced shouldn't have any Ads.

I think you're screwed, unless you can find them in your outlook deleted items?

I had this problem, deleted the contacts on the phone intending to re-create them from outlook... but activesync deleted them from outlook too.

Fortunately I had a backup of the .pst file. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mike.waters:
Hi Deffez,

You say your PC has deleted your contacts from the 'phone. Are your contacts still on your PC or not? If they are still on your PC, proceed as follows:

1. Delete the relationship on your computer's AS or MCC, and on your 'phone's AS. This will remove all the existing settings.

2. Set up a new relationship with the 'phone, and it will resync them, together with any other files, calendar, etc that you want.

If they are not on your PC, have you got a recent back up of your PC? You will find them back as a .pst file or a .wab file when you run a restore, or when you search the backed up folders. If you don't have a PC back up, do a search for either .pst or .wab files on your hard drive.

Alternatively, you can run a Restore on your 'phone, if you have made a back up of the 'phone. The personal data file is kept in the Windows directory as a .pim file.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] programatix:
If contacts are deleted during activesync synchronization, they are always kept in the Deleted folder in PC's Outlook (not your PDA)
