Yes, I guess it would have been a bureaucratic mess to make an infinitesimally small change to the Pro1X, say black housing, and called that say Pro1W and have that been for pre-orders and the other IGG-perks - with individuals preferring the other than what they were in for. Of the major changes they were forced to make after they got swindled, the drop of the 'IGG exclusivity' of the Pro1X variant was one of the least ones IMHO.

The Priv, as well as the Pro1, and some Samsungs, is only curved in one direction. So it is fairly easy to make a real tempered glass screen protector for them. And I used them on the Priv. Despite searching quite a bit, I unfortunately have not found similar for the Pro1 or Elephone U (pro) using the same screen. I tried with a glass cutter to cut some intended for a Samsung S8+ with practically same width but longer - but was unable to, they all broke. ...You can still get them for a Priv. e.g. here

Thanks for the hint. I DO have the same problems, though it does not seem to help opening the keyboard. Sometimes the scanning works, but have not been able to do it in a reproducible way, nor do I see any pattern.

Yup. Especially if you use a dark theme, you will seldom see it.

Sounds sad, but could be that they are merely saying that all that are in the pipeline for batches with shipping before that are allocated. But that could also be just my over-optimistic guess.

All this driver stuff should be in a different thread. Any suggestions of a good thread? Then I will move it. 🙂

Would guess it is a bit tough to repair with home-stuff as it is supposed to be carrying significant currents, above 1A

Never actually used them. It was mostly a proof of concept. The touch worked as such though obviously not at the side edges

Even the hugest players have problems getting components for their goods, so no big surprise that it goes for a tiny player too... If they are guilty of anything here, it is being over optimistic in these harsh times.

The big difference (for some companies) is that that the stock version has been certified by Google.

He he, so this IS relevant to the Pro after all. *LOL*

My GUESS would be that if a device support some (or even most), but not all of the bands the carrier offers, they will be reluctant to let it into their net. Simply because the bad experience of "poor coverage" most often fall back on the carrier, even if it actually is the phone that can not use the bands offered in the area in question. This dialogue is not uncommon: "I got a lousy signal here! - What carrier are you using? - XXX - Ahh, damned XXX" ...

I understand your point of view, but I bet that the work it would require to persuade huge tele-companies to care about a tiny player like FxTec would far exceed any profit they could gain by additional sales. If they felt they could sell say 10K extra Pro1(X) it would obviously be a different story, and they could ask with a punch with a little weight. I think that the original idea of this thread with a user group is much more likely to have any leverage. It could potentially give bad press of the tele-giants not caring about customers, by stirring up commotion and thus will have muc

Totally agree with you. The benefits of IGG is the early perks - though they also comes at the higher risk. I will say that the risk at this late state is low though, but you still got better consumer rights with the classic web-shop order. IF you are interested in a spare battery and display-part, the $849 perk is a fairly interesting one though, compared to the $719 perk for the device alone. So IF you are going to order it on IGG, consider that option too... (They do not offer spare parts of the web-shop, at the least not currently AFAIK)

I wonder if this text was written in the weekend, or today. It makes quite a difference, as "next week" today brings us into March... But I guess it would be rather optimistic to hope for "the end of the month" actually being February.

Definitely more interesting than the Cosmo. We got a quite long thread on it already:
