Yep same, got the confirmation too. Looking forward to it! -
Pro X1 with linux replacing phone and laptop
mv replied to ChillPC's topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
I would say this, with the pro1 I find i dont need to bring my laptop with me anymore and only keep the laptop to be able to work from different rooms at home. The pro1 for me when traveling meets the minimum of what i need, in terms of maintaining ssh access if necessary, or emails and docs. I keep jumping between the idea of having a separate phone for phone pursposes since I might be in the middle of something on the phone and need to take a call and sometimes it distracts from the work. But then I realize that headphones or bluetooth ear pieces suffice and allow me to keep working while on -
Pro¹ X – state of production and delivery
mv replied to Rob. S.'s topic in Pro1 - Thoughts & questions
This causes me to ask, when Nokia was the powerhouse in the 2000s they had supply chains around the world on phone production, right? I recall phones manufactured in the region they would be consumed, i.e. i thought if I recall phones made in almost each continent, is that correct? -
I did and there was no way to get it back, they insisted on chat, in the store and on chat again that the device was only 3G it was a useless battle to convince them otherwise despite sending them the spec sheet numerous times. I had no ability to make voice calls for over a week and when they swapped the sim card for a new one i then lost data too and they said I would lose texting after.

Ok update and not good news on the ATT front. As i was having trouble decided to go to the store to try to regain my service. No luck, the Pro1 is in their system as a 3G phone and will not let me use it anymore. Secondly I have a Sony Xperia 10 which supposed to be supported but that also would not work. So this leaves me with not much of a choice but to move to T-mobile, which does list as the pro1 as supported.
-
Thanks for the help on this, but this seems to be entirely on ATT and not with the device, they opened a case for me but I have feeling it might be the old sim, as I have had it for about 5 years. But we will see. To be clear my settings are the same as @KingOfTerrible but making calls on both the FXtec pro1 and on Sony Xperia 10 (which is supported by ATT) also fails to make any calls or receive any either. edit for more context.
-
One issue though is that i have a device that ATT says is supported the Sony Xperia 10 but when I put the sim in there it does the same thing, no voice but i do get text. I was on tech support and they said they had a software update to send my device in 24 hours that should resolve it, but i have no idea what that is in terms of using lineageos

So far service continues to work without issue, even tested it with a friend with a different device on ATT that they said would not work after Feb 22, but so far so good. I do think this is on activating a new device, I think they are grandfathering in and it seems they are not targeting any specific IMEIs to disable. My hunches at least for the moment, but good to know about T-mobile if the need to switch happens. p.s. Sprint is now T-mobile

What US carriers will this phone work on in the future?
mv replied to xman1's topic in General Discussion
T-Mobile seems to be the route they will most likely go is my guess, it is currently listed as supported device for pre or post paid. -
This is very exciting, as much as I want to be back on SFOS this would be a close second in terms of interface and integration
-
There are instructions on installing it, I have since moved back to LOS as I will wait for 4G to be developed first since my carrier is restricting more and more
-
It is a nice os but I think someone needs to do the community build seems their resources are tight. Would be nice though cause of the nextcloud integration.

Hey all for those on LineageOS 18.1 wondering two things, one how to get the FXtec key to work through settings, not sure if that is achieved in FX Service. FX service related at least and this is on me a game specifically Asphalt 9 with FX service installed the keyboard is not fully functional curious if there is a way to disable it or if someone knows a workaround? thanks!
-
Related to this, in not such an easy way, the key thing that i gathered from a lengthy call with At&t when trying to add the Xperia 10 ii (returned it cause At&t insisted it will not work) is that and impacts my current Xperia 10 (which they said it likely won't but were less insistent). The key thing is they are doing a full court press (basketball) whenever a new device hits a 3G tower, which was the case with the Xperia 10 ii, for some reason on data it would not go 4G, so they immediately disabled it. However when calling them and getting to the advance tech support, they will ok

tldr; might require us to speak to AT&T tech support numerous times Partly cause I am not currently running FXtec as my daily driver, but on an unrelated issue, specifically with the Sony Xperia 10 ii, which AT&T by default said was not supported despite having the same LTE features as the Sony Xperia 10 (which I am currently using) after going through the first level of support I was able to get to a higher level tech support person who agreed that the features are the same and it shold be supported, so he opened a case (as of this writing still waiting to hear) but he did say th

I was receiving texts saying they wanted me to get a new phone that they would send to me, they went as far as sending it and I refused delivery and that prevented them from activating the replacement and the messages from AT&T have stopped coming to me. Curious though what regions of the US they are hitting first, I am in the Boston area.
-
Confirmed it working and snappier too 🙂
-
Maybe it depends on the city, I am in Boston and the device has been fine. When I spoke to AT&T about it they just said as long as it supports 4G they will not take any action to shut the device down. One little trick i found was switching cellular off and then resetting it from the SIM info and then reenabe cellular. Then my connection worked. Maybe that helps. Also I am AT&T contract post-paid account.
