That’s sad 😢

I heard that the antenna issue can be fixed manually, but it’s not an easy fix.


This is weird. I saw an announcement on Discord that they finished shipping all devices in November 2024.


Yes, this managed to ship all devices in November 2024.


You can run Droidian, which is galium-based (special Android compatibility layer to talk to hardware).

Running on mainline is also possible, but the support is not great. Here is the PMOS page.


Yeah, I heard that many units have antenna issue. Before buying I asked the seller to test it for me. My unit was unaffected by the issue.

Yeah, the situation with the company is not great.

Big thanks to the guy keeping lineage working on it!

There actually 4 maintainers for this device! It was a surprise for me. Usually it’s 1 guy.


I considered their Astra or Communicator, but they don’t support LineageOS, which is important to me.


True 😥 Did you broke yours?


Yeah…

I wish companies produce more phones like this.


Try looking at their unofficial Discord server. It’s usually cheaper then on eBay. But ask to test the antenna, some units have issues with that.


Same. But recently I managed to buy almost new for 300 EUR.

I only recently started using it, so maybe later I will make a post about it :)


A long time ago, I owned a Motorola Droid 4 and Photon Q. Feeling so nostalgic now 🙂 The keyboard on this one is much better - it's full-sized, and the slider mechanism feels quite robust. ![](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.masto.host%2Fmastodongamedevplace%2Fmedia_attachments%2Ffiles%2F113%2F886%2F406%2F920%2F027%2F854%2Foriginal%2F05a4d6a9f54f185c.jpg) ![](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.masto.host%2Fmastodongamedevplace%2Fmedia_attachments%2Ffiles%2F113%2F886%2F406%2F916%2F780%2F540%2Foriginal%2F15a51b0c4c1dba0d.jpg) ![](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.masto.host%2Fmastodongamedevplace%2Fmedia_attachments%2Ffiles%2F113%2F886%2F406%2F930%2F707%2F422%2Foriginal%2F5c77b39612912af1.jpg)

Today discovered this mod and wanted to share. I think that idea is so cool! Originally found it by watching [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CU-ZtzqZiI) video.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/4389699 > I was shocked that Rockstar was caught using cracks in off-releases (!!!), then they tried to "crack" themselves, ran into their own anti-piracy measures and left it like that! The game is unplayable. > > It's funny that the pirates didn't face any of these measures and cracked the game correctly.

Thank you a lot! Have you tried LineageOS? I assume that this could fix your issue with connectivity.


Thanks for the info! Wondering how it will work with my carrier. How is the battery life? Do you use stock or LineageOS?


Keyboard phones
I recently discovered F(x)tec Pro1 X, Cosmo Communicator and the upcoming Astro Slide. Anyone having these devices? Wondering how it performs, how battery life, how the keyboard. I know about supply issues, but I saw a few options on e-Bay. Also looks like only F(x)tec Pro1 X supported by LineageOS.

PP about two years, PPP about six months. Yes, there is a small crack with the keyboard case with PPP.


I use ArchLinux with Plasma Mobile. Battery life is bad, but I bought the Pine keyboard which makes the battery life normal.


Not anymore, I have both and call and alarms from sleep works :)
