Another, less ominous explanation,,, (though I hope Fxtec will let us know) is that Expansys had ordered some for themselves that were manufactured at the same time as batches 1 and 2. Those are not affected by problems in the shipping contract. Those went to Expansys Sales, and Expansys ships them for themselves, not Fxtec. Expansys may have remaindered them because of lowered specs, which looks bad but isn't crooked. They didn't have to pay for R&D. People on Discord have ordered and received. FxTec has acknowledged them and say they will be covered by FxTec for warranty.

The interesting point is - Expansys is the company which was the sender of my Pro1x in "batch 1" (and probably supposed to do the same for "batch 2"). I'm afraid that this suggests scenarios in which Fxtec isn't the one "doing this business"...

I just got my pro1x and was having several problems with the camera button, the biggest one being that it was taking photos in my pocket from the lock screen and leaving phone in the camera app. Additionally the snapdragon camera app showed portrait image if the keyboard was open. Anyway to resolve, I installed opencamera and disabled snapdragon camera app. I used keymapper to set the camera button to open the camera app as well as shutter. This works much better. From lock screen, it still wakes device which I havent figured out how to disable, but at least it doesnt launch camer

Interesting question. All I know is that on ebay people spend much more than the original price for a Pro1 or Pro1X in good condition, some phones go for more than US$1,000. Hopefully those are not our phones which Expansys is selling there?

I have the same suspicion, when something is sold very cheap, there usually is something fishy involved. I paid using PayPal, so I can get my money back if ExpanSys never delivers. Well we will know in a week:

I was poking around the Discord channel, and apparently the price bounces around between HK2198 and HK2649. And earlier this month only the blue one had the cheaper price, but when I ordered yesterday only the black one did. EDIT: Just to clarify, I'm talking about the 8/256 price.

After flashing stock, it'll show 8 GB until a factory reset is done through Settings -> System -> Reset options -> Delete all data (factory reset). Maybe they just failed to do this step, so you might want to try that first.

As I stated above, Fxtec has alredy stated in Discord that the Expansys units will have full warranty from Fxec (which is one year for the Pro1x, not 2 years).

IMHO, the R&D argument doesn't make much sense in case of Expansys buying the devices from FxTec (unlike from the other scenario 😕 ) - obviously, FxTec might give them some discount, but they (FxTec) would still need to cover the R&D costs through devices sold via wholesale.

IF this is the case, The few they actually sent, could be covered by the value of one or two devices.... And if they had continued the shipping of both batch 1 and 2, and 'appropriated' say one of ten, it might still make sense. But grabbing the whole batch 2, and a large part of batch 1 sounds like theft - I hope I'm wrong obviously.

Has anyone tried that and actually got it? ADD: I just tried, And we will see if something arrives, and if it arrives, I will ask FxTec if the serialnumber matches one of those that should have been sent to backers - confirming my suspicion that Expansys has 'appropriated' our devices and are fencing them off online ....

Well, let's put it this way - I'm one of those lucky enough having received Pro1x in batch 1. I'm _very_ happy that it finally happened (after long waiting). I understand the frustration of those still waiting, but people who managed to create this device don't deserve statements like those appearing above.
