I think it would have been a first in history if a new phone was released error-free..... Even the big guys Samsung and the fruit company can't do that, and you expected F(x)tec as a small start-up could? Then your confidence in them were even higher than mine.....

https://www.golem.de/news/fx-tec-pro-1-im-hands-on-starkes-tastatur-smartphone-fuer-650-euro-1909-143673.html (German) Google web page translation doesn't work well because of their ads and their specific (laudable) approach in offering visitors several ways to get rid of ads, so I took the liberty to add the deepl.com translation (unedited) below.

DId I miss a bunch of bugs? with bluetooth only aptx (one of many audio codecs) doesn't seem to be working -> easy software update hdmi -> probably software google pay (not play) not working, because the certification is not finished -> easy software update sensor issues -> probably one selinux setting (explains the reboot) -> easy software update screen freezes -> probably software

So essentially the phone marketplace is a tin horn dictatorship? 😮 Get ready for Liberty, foul fiends of conformity! 😛

Personally I would never bid on nor buy from an ebay seller with a reputation of just 6 (!) - and even those are as buyer only, and many months old. Your are not even covered by their buyers protection. And the very low serial number 000002 must be a staff item, that seems very odd to go on sale so quickly, so it all has a suspicious smell to it....

Honestly I'd be afraid of that thing damaging the (rather delicate) headphone jack, spreading/chocking itself in, and the force of whatever attached (plus initial tension) taken partly by the SoC. 3.5mm-jacks tend to lose contact over lifetime just by plugging in and out.

If somebody has problems with understanding why a small company takes so long to develop and ship a product for the first time, this may help you. For me it really helped understand the numerous difficulties and you get a lot of details that companies couldn't give you. PS: I don't know why it embeds or how I prevent that. Sorry!

This german article is "old". It's not a test of someone who ordered the device and received it but from someone who saw and used the Pro1 on the ifa2019

Unless one of the customs agents stole one, this isn't part of any US shipment, so it had to come from somewhere.

....Took a strap from a camera and tested: Would be better with a longer thin string part, so the 'knot' could be outside, as the four times the string thickness at the 'knot' prevents a complete close

Well i hope it all will be fixed as you suggested

maybe it could even include one of those chargers that works by motion. if your battery gets below 10% and no handy charger, do jumping jacks. Could help with physical fitness too.

it could be like mounted to left forearm. have to learn to type one handed, but might work.... something like

Funny, that's one of the top 3 things I despise about this PRIV I'm using for a moment because my Droid 4 is charging. The keyboard touchpad is always moving things when I least expect it, and even managed to select and replace a block of text when I was attempting to insert an emoji via punctuation. The other 2 despised items are working in portrait, and the keyboard being only a 3-row. My favorite portrait phone (a little useless these days, but really my favorite smartphone of all time) was the Treo 700p, but that wasn't really a portrait phone as such because it had a 4:3 screen, so you he

Here are more pictures. - the sleeve is a little bit wider and taller as the phone. It's not easy to put the the phone in it and out. Therefore, it definitely doesn't fall out by itself! - the protector fits really good to the screen -> full screen incl. edges (please ignore the bubbles 😂)

I would rather not dangle it from any mechanical part on a regular basis. As a pure safety line, this would of course be preferable to a drop. A strap hole integrated into the body would be a much appreciated improvement for any future releases in my book.

Best way to make customers happy is to reduce the price for others before their pre-orders are even all shipped out. I don't see how this would even be remotely likely to happen, as much as I'd like this phone to be cheaper.

Lineage 16 for the pro1 seems to be on the way:

I doubt its a test device, it's retail packaged, etc. This happened with moto-mod too, one appeared on ebay shortly after the first shipment. It will be interesting to see how much it goes for. It is curious how it got to the US tho; if someone received it in Europe they could sell it from Europe. I mean yeah sure someone coulda mailed it over or flown over with it, but why?

Erik's unboxing video has fxtec000003. Hm...

why there is still no word on next shipping batch?

Played with that, doesn't seems to change anything.

Also, TBH, I have Lineage 14.1 on my Tab S and it still gets all current security patches.

It's Google......disable it before it achieves sentience! 😮

Upon seeing the topic title, before reading the request, I just imagined a bracelet connected to a case, using the Pro1 as a HUGE smartwatch. Another gadget to find. Kinda like the cyborg-style idea.. 🙂

"okay google set alarm for 6am tomorrow morning", "I'm sorry Eskerahn, I can't do that."

Very soon!

I think the mistake is yours, or more likely you dreamed it. The closest thing to that I've seen was someone on tmo who accidentally typo'd in a post reporting he was allocated stock in first batch but wasnt IGG backer when in fact he was, and Chen replied with apology for mistake and would reallocate appropriatly, before it was clarified he was in fact IGG backer and it was his own typo - due to on screen keyboard - that caused the confusion. And even if that's what you were mistakenly referring to, that's still one, not plural.

Please take this gently, as it's meant, but.......stop acting like you're starving to death because the food wagon hasn't been able to make it through the snowy mountain pass because a mule broke its leg and there was an avalanche, and your isolated 19th-century town in the mountains ran out of food weeks ago. This is a super-awesome device, but it's not like there aren't other things we can use in the meantime. I'm as excited as everyone else, but things happen. I'd rather they get it right than get it rushed. Delays happened, but it's in production, and it's looking like everyone who has ord

How many more threads will there be with the same question?

Under developer options, a setting MIGHT need to be changed from default:

Here is my take on the phone http://talk.maemo.com/showpost.php?p=1562461&postcount=2849

😉 Maybe we all read it wrong... No batches but bitches... I wait for the second bitch 😂 Three Swiss witch-bitches, which wished to be switched Swiss witch-bitches, wish to watch Swiss Swatch watch switches. Which Swiss witch-bitch which wishes to be a switched Swiss witch-bitch, wishes to watch which Swiss Swatch watch switch?

That's fitting since the fins would try to fixit instead of leaving it.

I am not in UK but in EU. If the Brexit comes and Pro1 arrives after the Brexit, will I have to pay customs? BTW If Finland were to leave EU, it would be called Fixit.

Once the product is out and we have proved logistics handling with different SKUs, we will certainly start to expand regional variants.

Somebody is already ready selling Pro¹ in ebay; https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F264543783692

To be honest it doesnt look so good now. bluetooth seems to be not working hdmi output seems to be not working google play doesnt work sensors issues screen freezes reboots all the time i have note 8 for 4 years now and in these four years it never froze or reboot, never even single time
