Send a mail to them (or click the floating support link). as this does sound like a bug. There is no guarantee that they will see your post here..

Unfortunately there are still spam attacks.... ;-(

I certainly agree on that. The delay caused by having to wait for one with moderator-rights to detect that there is a new comment and approve it, kills all live dialogue...

(The issue seems limited to those having pre-orders not paid linked to the same e-mail address, we got the mail for the paid orders also)

That was what they planned to do back in April, see above in merged thread. But in July the answer was different here.

They have published a sample from the narcissistic camera too on twitter:

We should not always count on a replaced device. F(x)tec could choose to have it repaired. Or might replace with a refurbished device. It is a matter of different legislation, and what the cheapest way for them is to meet the legal requirements.

Remember that we know that at the least the display is a 'standard' part from Boe (type number BF060Y8M-AJ0-7702), also used on other devices. e.g the "Elephone U Pro". It is already available on e.g. AliExpress for less than $75, here a search https://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?catId=0&SearchText=display+elephone+u+pro We do not (yet) know what other parts are "standard". But I expect at the least the battery to be too, as I doubt there would be a reason to have a special one designed. But of course the keyboard, the PCB and the housing will be special for the Pro1. We will have to w

Glad to hear you got it sorted :)

See the link someone gave to PapPals terms above. If they can not guarantee a send within 20 days from the payment, it is not allowed. And as they are talking "Mid September". So unless they produce for stock (and I doubt they will, except a very limited number - but just guessing) then PayPal will unfortunately most likely not be an option.

(a tweet: )

Sounds odd, have you checked with your card providers on why? Could there be an amount limit. Some posts above have mentioned the banks saying that some info from F(x)Tec were missing (without telling them what is missing so F(x)Tec had a chance to fix it...)

I too hope they will change soon... I waste a lot of time currently 'keeping an eye' on all threads...

Please do not panic if you see a message like the below in the inbox and has already paid! Clicking the link in the mail will bring you to your Pre-Orders, and it should be marked as "Completed" when paid (and can be found under Orders) :) [attachment file=31073]

My point was if they replied you, but you never received their mails. Just a thought.

Well as they are not ALLOWED by PayPal to get preorders paid, they can not yet (See previous).

Have you tried sending a mail from a different account? Worth a try. But I'm sure they are VERY busy, much less responsive to my mails too.

How would you suggest they take payment, when PayPal does not allow them to do so (see this)? Card payments give you as a consumer some rights within the EU that you do not get with a classic money transfer.

Well I think it is to estimate a realistic number of daily opens they tried to have some register this. I guess that if someone needs to use the keyboard every 5 minutes, it would be unlikely that they closed it in between. And 16h is a long time doing nothing else than interacting with the phone. I mean for my normal usage it would certainly also be interacting with apps that do not take text input for normal usage, so I will use it as a slab also.

I THINK the link is pre-orders only and once they payment mail is sent out it is changed from a pre-order to an order. But not sure....

That would make a lot of sense! Both to not risk being blamed for being partial, and also to avoid the chance of the unit being tested being one that had gone through an extra careful quality control. This could be important for devices with poor quality control.

AFAIK, this is not part of standard Pie. I haven't heard anything on F(x)tec adding it. Pie do as default encrypt all data on your phone. (see Security & Location, Advanced, Encryption) (Pie do also offer the Lockdown mode, that might help somewhat if you make it a habit using it) And you should be able to remote wipe the device too, see e.g. https://www.androidcentral.com/how-set-android-device-manager-lock-and-wipe-your-phone

Yeah, can't wait to see the results. :)

Ah sorry, I thought "Locker" was the password app. Must admit I never used any of their HUB stuff. (The only BB stuff I used was their nice keyboard software and DTEK)

Yes, it will certainly be simpler for them if this is just an accessory we as users can buy, and swap ourselves. But we are yet to here anything on how easy or difficult it is to change the keyboard. I fear that it might require heating up some glue, or something similar, as they changed the keyboard to get easier access to the battery, that could mean that the keyboard is not super easy to remove. But I might have misunderstood something.
