You will need a charger which supports Qualcomm Quick Charge (QC3.0) like this one or this one. Samsung Adaptive Fast Charging is another solution which is not compatible with other phones.

I'm still waiting for the tracking email, however my Pro1 arrived last Thursday 😁

This part is a general thing, and I advise people to ONLY use fast charging when strictly needed, for any device with a not easy user-replaceable battery. (see other threads) The Fingerprint-reader-issues sounds like a hardware failure, I suggest you to contact Support https://fxtec.com/support

Hello! It’s Chen here, been a long time since we last talked or met in person. First of all I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy, regardless where you are. It might be a difficult and challenging time, but we will all fight through it together. I would also like to say thank you to our community again! Thank you for your continuous support and encouragement for Pro1 and F(x)tec, especially in this difficult time. I have to admit 2020 has not been an easy journey for us, a lot of things and plans have completely changed and everything has become more and more diff

The material cost should be available for the head of F(x)tec but that is one thing. Another one is the demand which affects the final prince and also the management of producing and shipping phones having different kind of layouts and send them to appropriate recipients. If you can produce relatively low volume and you can sell all of them then it doesn't really worth financially of switching layouts as it may result in a loss of profit then.

Indeed things are likely to be improved, but this particular aspect seems to be the same. At the least it was until the last keyboard I checked.

OK. So seems like the keyboard covers (where each key is) are a piece of translucid rubber-like material(?) with bumps for each key, with colored (light filters) on the top right (Yellow for most and green for Caps lock) and are painted black; inverted to the characters to be written. Sounds about right? I've been with one such kind of machine long time ago but it was painting something else. I forgot what. Now I wish I had asked how much it costs to do new spray heads. It may be that it's not that expensive but still cannot be sold at normal value, otherwise, they don't get the pr

No issues with the OTA update either.

Just would like to mention they have mentioned improving the keyboard durability earlier. As far as I remember well, they have changed the way the keyboard is built in some point of time, so it may happen the pre-production unit may have a different version of the keyboard used later. Also they may have used older components in some of the pre-production units as some factors like long-term durability may not matter that case. Also there are components which has newer version but already assembled parts can be used in this way - like still not approved motherboard, motherboard with mi

QWERTY 2141 arrived on the 8th Oct

As far as I have been able figure out studying the two offered keyboards, they have an identical base, with some coloured yellow squares (green for caps), and then finalised with different layers of black on top. If you look carefully at the top left of the Q, W and E keys on the shifted qwertY, you will note a square that looks slightly different when the light hits at the exact right angle. I'm 99% sure that this is the square for the symbols on W, E and R on the qwertZ. that is hidden by the black paint. (On the preproduction-unit the green dot for caps was quite small, And was e

One keyboard layout (the very first one) is expensive. In mass production, it going to be cheaper (as the price of "first one" is divided), then a later order is much more cheaper than the first one if there is no modification. (At least this is how it works in Europe.) Practically there is a minimum quantity which worth manufacturing, let's say 100, 300 or 1000 depending on other calculations. I don't know, but let's say the first one costs 1000 USD and every further one costs 15 USD. (That is because several custom tools are needed for manufacturing and the same tools can be

I don't mind being sent the last place in queue if I can get a keyboard as I proposed before (and now I noticed I'm in the wrong topic) Probably the 2nd one would be a good keyboard layout for a balance between Spanish-based languages and Portuguese-based languages. Ideally for me, it would be a different print but I understand the need to reuse. There's also the one I proposed which is more full of symbols but it covers more languages such as greek and other Eastern europe characters. As I mentioned before. I am very willing to be sent to the end of the waiting queue

That's also what I read before. Either way, I've sent a mail last week and Erik has been tagged in this forum as well, I guess I'll just play the waiting game until they get back to me to find out what happened. I'll be sure to post back here once this is resolved as a reference for future possible buyers thinking of opting for this transaction method. Thanks everyone for the comments! ^^

Unless the app is 'key aware', my guess would be that the app should expose taking a picture as an "Activity" (sub-part of an app), and then to get the key associated with that. See e.g. the app "Activity Launcher" that can create a short-cut for an activity, to use as an icon in your launcher. But in offering this, it gives an overview of "activities" available from each app. Unfortunately we only get a name, not a description of the activity, so sometimes it is pure guesswork to search for something interesting... The snapdragon app offer five "activities", where e.g. OpenCamera on

My four months old Fxtec Pro 1 (qwerty) started act funny last week. Fingerprint reader gets very hot and stopped working. The reader is hot ecery time I try to use it. I tried to restore factory settings, but it didn't help. The phone does get kind of warm when charged with the fast charger. Faulty battery?
