That was very sad news, 😨 Will you get them at a later point? Wasn't The whole idea of the usb on a separate print that it should be easy to swap? If end of service, could you provide diagrams, so some handy persons could produce them, without the need of reverse engineering first? What parts are potentially available for the Pro1? If none/few it would be nice to know if we have to treat a Pro1 with the uttermost care as irreplaceable...4 points

@Bob78 Good news, I just found a spare USB port from a previous RMA'd unit. If you'd like, I am able to reserve this one for you. Are you looking for replacing this module yourself or sending us the unit for repair?3 points

It is indeed sad news 😞 To my knowledge, if there is still demand for USB port repairs, I think we can order more. But there is a MOQ for it, so it just depends if our previous vendor still supplies this and if the demand is high. I'm able to provide the relevant schematics on a case by case basis. We do have a number of Pro1 parts still available to purchase/for repair: - Battery - Screen - PCBs - Camera - Connection cables - SIM trays - Fingerprint sensor/back covers Apart from these, we will need to see exactly what needs to be3 points

The global supply chains, especially for tech products, have been disrupted for years. How is it today? We have traced the path of a smartphone and show where delays still occur. [...] If the device is already manufactured, as in this case, the retailer can be happy about this. His supplier in the manufacturing metropolis of Shenzhen in southern China has the product in stock and only has to send it to Europe. Both sides have known for a long time: "Only" has been extremely relativized in the past three years. Because a lot has come together. Not only was there the impact of the ini2 points

As harsh as it sounds, in retrospect, F(x)tec’s biggest mistake was to keep up the effort of delivering all promised devices to their IGG backers. That they tried (and are still trying) to get a device to any one who invested in the Pro1-X crowdfunding campaign is honourable, but, from a business point of view, it was the wrong decision. When it became clear that the SD835 could no longer be delivered, they should have declared the IGG campaign a fail, taken the money, and invested it fully into development of a viable successor of the Pro1, without committing to delivering any devices be2 points

Well i agree with most things you said except the xda part. They detached themselves really quick. There has never been any article on xda`s website after the announcement "xda mad a phone". Also the xda-developer.com website went from development to marketing only. There is nothing positive to say about xda. But with the rest i agree 100%.2 points

The last I had of a similar nature, I answered the inkasso company if they would please bring it to court as my lawyer would have a field day smashing them, and that any future mail I would have to react to would be billed by my usual fee of 1295DKK/h - have not heard from them in months.... 😇2 points

Yes i am sure, i answered their own emails. Also they gave the case away to Inkasso company Liquida, who also received the receipts and confirmed that they received them. They told me they have to reach back to Fedex and will inform me afterwards. A logistic company should not have problems with their own logistic. I think they have outsourced a little bit too much, but that is just guessing.2 points

Hi All, Thought I'd post my experience so far with the Pro1X on stock firmware. Want to see if others are finding it similar, and also give people an idea of what to expect when they get theirs. The Good GPS signal Stock ROM relatively clean and vanilla Camera is pretty good Keyboad (obviously, that's why we all got one) love having a hard keyboard again. On screen keyboard is good too Screen is bright Glass screen feels really nice. Very smooth and scratch resistant Performace is fine, I don't push my phone very hard, but haven't had any iss1 point

Sadly imho this is the first really realistic comment on the mistake Fxtec made. I think 99,9% of forum members wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to judging Fxtecs decision making in the IGG campaign.1 point

That was a terrible comment because it included the quoted sentence. I don't understand. What I do understand perfectly is that there are deal-breaking issues for many if not most buyers, but, for a fact, me, I'm using a Pro1 X for half a year now as the only smartphone I carry and I have everything more or less functional, so there *are* such regions and carriers, and that's why there *are* people who buy those used phones, pay good money, and leave good ratings, too. That's what my comment was about. For some time to come, there will be demand for the Pro1 X even if it doesn't work1 point

I actually don't think this was a "backdoor" deal. The phones for supporters were put on palettes and sent to the Logistics warehouse to be sent out to backers in August. They also produced a limited run for Expansys Retail which were timed to go out and made available following shipment of the perks. What put a wrench in the works is that they hit a wall when a problem came up with their logistics contract. However, Expansys retail had received their units and proceeded to put them on sale (probably and agreed upon date that was supposed to be post-shipment) with only a minor markup from W1 point

The risk is there. Still it remains to be seen. Depending on region and carrier, the Pro1 X is usable, and being the unique item that it is, it will remain desirable for a lot of people for a substantial time to come. Many want it for the keyboard alone and couldn't care less for the processor which also will be good enough in normal use for a long time to come. So in case you do get it, you will at least be able to cut your losses. Which might not be what one would wish for, but still a lot more than many other IGG projects turned out to be. Also, it is a complete wonder that F(x)tec ev1 point

Except by the time I get mine it will barely have any value left. As there have been countless threads on here of connecitivity issues, broken promises related to OS development, Expansys having a backdoor deal and people getting phones in only two days from them as opposed to two years for people who actually backed it, perks not being fulfulled in their entirety, and setback after setback with no response from FxTec beyond canned marketing quotes. By the time this phone arrives it will be worthless, its chips were already obsolete when production started. It will be nowhere near the $800+ I1 point

Sorry having to say so, but no. That's exactly what IGG is about and has been about right from the start. You're not guaranteed to get anything, neither a product nor a refund, no matter how huge a sum you paid and no matter what you might have had reason to believe. Hoping to eventually get your phone and then resell it (if you really don't want to make an attempt to use it) is probably still your best bet. I just sold the Pro1X I ordered in 2020, received in 2022, used for half a year as my daily driver and then replaced with another one with a different keyboard, for hardly less than I1 point

Just a thought, can you be sure they received your mails? I've seen e-mail fail more often than I would have expected, and in some cases I was never was told that they did, either...1 point

We haven't released a new beta build yet. But we're still on track to release one soon.1 point

They have given their all to this dream. It's been such a journey, but they have shown such character, it's been 4+ years of blood, sweat and tears...but it has been worth it, look how far they have come from the first prototype up until now...here is to another 4 years of successful phone deliveries..hurrah! hurrah! hurrah!1 point

It has now been almost a full year since I gave FXT my money through IGG. Delivery date has been pushed back so many times that I've resigned that it's never going to come. Since they're only just now shipping batch 1XXX and mine is 3XXX, at this rate I'll get my phone in about 10 years. My bank has denied my credit card dispute twice now even though FXT has refused to grant a refund twice and are constantly pushing back shipping dates and lying about when it will be ready. Is there any other course of action that can be take to get my money back that isn't "wait to get your phone then resell0 points

Hi, I'm sorry to say but we've discontinued some hardware support for Pro1s. Unfortunately, we do not have any USB ports in stock for repair anymore. My best advice is to find a local technician shop who can help solder a new type-c port. Apologies again.0 points

After several month of silence from Liquida, who never answered my request to close the case, i got an email from Fedex today. They asked for a prove of payment because they could not find my payment in their system. I got the same email a couple of times over all the month and answered two or three times sending the signed receipts. I deleted the email and will not answer an email from them again. They have to write a letter to get any response from my side. It is ridiculous, how this company behaves.0 points
