The only thing that has been said so far is that those perks will be sent out after the phones. However, I would recommend contacting FxTec via email and explain your situation. I suspect they may have batteries to send out and might make an exception in your case. I'm not connected to FxTec, just another customer, so I can't guarantee they will do anything, but if they have the batteries for repairs, they may be able to do something. Certainly worth a try.

As to the topic in hand speaking of the Pro1 not Pro1x, calls are hit or miss. I miss a lot of calls and get voicemail notifications, texts don't always go through or come through. But man I love this phone.

I got one, for what it's worth...

I updated the flashing instructions in the FP to use Adam's kernel.

This has probably been covered before but what is there information about when the other perks than phones will be shipped? I ordered backed just a spare battery and would like to get it as the original battery in my original Pro1 is starting to show symptoms of dying.

https://www.printables.com/model/267403-fxtec-pro1x-case Feel free to let me know your thoughts, criticisms, tweaks. I'm already thinking it needs a bit more on top for screen protection. I've also done a template for cutting out screen protectors which I'll upload shortly. I haven't been able to find any that ship to Australia.

I was shocked also 😳. But I was watching a few that were selling used/new and sold anywhere from $805-$950, heesh. But hopefully the person who purchased it from me enjoys it and if they feel comfortable doing the beta testing for better service or wait for FX to finally give everyone the update they deserve.

That sold fast.

Their last update is just over a week old, August 24? https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/pro1-x-smartphone-functionality-choice-control/x/16576339#/updates/44

On my side, it's really strange. The keyboard works really (quite) perfect....since I completly disabled the auto-rotate screen in LOS18.1 as I never use it, as 'clacky keyboard on' automatic set the pro1 in landscape mode. I think it's the first time I write here without a keyboard bug. Too good to be true, so I will test a few days and report here. (...I write still a few words because of murphy's law and fatality of life to be sure....incredible...)

This is not a solution, but just saying that if you use a shell or flip-case, a bonus is that it practically eliminate the inadvertent touches. We have had discussion on this on the pro1 as well in here years back BTW, and without sounding like an apple echo of "You are holding it wrong", it is also a matter of getting used to how to hold it. If used primarily in landscape it is the perfect placement for reaching with the right index finger. Maybe a simpler solution would be to have the fingerprint-reader only active in landscape, when the device is unlocked? Personally I would not min

Thanks for the workaround, I have marked your post as recommended, hopping that other will see it. And pinned this thread.

some oddities so far, but the most concerning is that the nfc reader does not appear to be working on Android. i have a yubikey for a lot of security items. I cannot get the phone to detect the yubikey. any ideas?

I've a few Bluetooth headphones and each of them go very choppy (audio cuts out, track keeps playing) when I move. I've tried it with the case but it means if walking (let alone running) with my headphones on I lose a lot of audio. These headphones were fine with previous devices. Anyone else having this or have tips? It's not any case as I've tried it with and without a case and have the same issues. In general my phone is poor for connection - wifi is okay but cellular calls take 20s to connect outgoing and most incoming go straight to voicemail now.

After testing mine with the Verizon SIM card in it mine has sat in it's box...waiting for a 3d printed case from a buddy. But as time passes I am again tempted to to sell. If Verizon stopped working I would be completely out of luck. No other cell provider covers my house (we have AT&T, T-Mobile, and a Regional carrier also in my area)...

Still not a squeak from Fxtec by way of update - this seems, looking through my inbox, to be the longest gap they've left between updates since I 'joined' in January. Have to admit I'm pretty annoyed now. If I had ordered rather than being a backer, I would have cancelled my order. As it is, my old phone now has multiple faults so it looks as though I'm going to have to buy something - and then if/when I ever see my Fxtec. phone, either sell the 'emergency' phone or the Fxtec... probably taking a loss either way. Really unhappy! I guess there must be others in comparable

We have no news from the warehouse yet. Units are being prepared and labelled for September's Shipping. So... there's that.
