And this is exactly the same thing here.... we put in some money and HOPE to get a higher value out. At the same time this campaign was running last year you could also preorder a Pro1 on the FxTec webpage. And the Preorder price was HIGHER, exactly because they here make a legal promise to deliver, and if they can not fulfil a preorder you will normally have a right to a refund, so they take all the risk. The whole POINT of crowdfunding is that we as investors take (some of) the risk, and in return we hope to end up with a device cheaper than what the preorder price was. That

That would be pretty absurd. Why would we even have the term "crowd funding" if it should just be considered a "pre-order"? The whole point is that WE as investors take the risk rather than those that tries to create the product... And that is why the price for a perk is lower than a pre_order price. (despite IGG also taking their not unsubstantial cut) For the rest I to a large degree agree. Though it can be hard for us to tell how fast they would have been able to update the campaign with something sensible not just causing a panic. Information in fine but can cause all kind of rumours an

PRO1, LineageOS 17.1 Official Builds: Discussion
EskeRahn replied to EskeRahn's topic in General Discussion
Could it be because it is the same security build? Will be interesting to hear if OTA also works when it get the next security bump. -
Back in the original Lineage t6 test-thread @tdm did add a link were we can support his great work for the Pro1

And the interesting words here are "goods" and "purchase", as we with crowdfunding do not purchase a defined product. So we would be talking the quality of the investment in potentially hoping to get a specified product as being the product. And that will be (even) harder to evaluate and thus also to dispute being "as promised". Note also that there aren't a fifth bullet for regret of investments or gifts, so this is clearly intended to handle purchasing defined products. So a pre-order of a product would be included, but not investments including crowdfunded perks for a product.

I was about to make an answer to this, when I saw that @Doktor Oswaldo did one in a much nicer tone than I was about to use. https://community.fxtec.com/topic/3292-pro1-and-pro1-x-design-change-to-use-snapdragon-662-no-new-devices-before-august-2021/page/6/?tab=comments#comment-56647

I really wish someone would try making something similar to the below flip case in one piece of elastic transparent material. I guess the tough part would be to get the tiny magnets inside the construction (they can be bought for trifles on e.g. ebay BTW)

PRO1, LineageOS 17.1 Official Builds: Discussion
EskeRahn replied to EskeRahn's topic in General Discussion
I gave up on the Lineage OTA long ago. But downloading and then installing from a pc goes so smooth I simply made a batch file for the last par, only having to pass the package date. -
Yes it is two different issues. One is something gotten loose or worn, the last should be unlikely this soon. For the loose I too would check the screws as the first guess. Another is that the support-arm when closed are free, and thus can rattle a little if you shake the device, a tiny piece of ½-1mm thick self-adhesive rubber or felt can be placed in the 'groove' for it. to inhibit its movement.

Full Wireless Charging. Will it work?
EskeRahn replied to MickH's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Found one in the car, that I know was able to charge my S8 (and a Priv also), but can not get the Pro1 to pull out more than 5W or less from the supply, that is something in the order of 2.5W to the phone, so with screen on it slows down the discharge, but does not charge, will try tried to let it stay connected a while, It just MIGHT be isn't able to provide a very slow charge. It does not matter if I even give at a huge distance The same combo can charge an S8 though, so all four components works (charger, cord station and plate) - five counting the current test, but there must be some negot -
Full Wireless Charging. Will it work?
EskeRahn replied to MickH's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
Oh, got the one I bought too a while back, but did not test it (yet), As it seems I have misplaced my wireless chargers (and yes have bought more than one varaiant of those too). Could be that it needs a certain amount of clearance to the metal back to actually work? -
It is sad indeed. But as I see it they had very few alternatives after being swindled. Redesign the Pro1(x) using as much as they can of the existing with the remaining money. Await the months or years a trial may take, and hope they win, and HOPE they can buy and stock whatever 835 they could find (if any!), and then have someone making the pcbs if they win - a high risk gamble, and the device would likely be quite outdated then, and no income while you and others were waiting. Start the development of a totally new Pro2, my guess would be it would reach us after 2021. and m
