My order complete email didn't look like @netman's email either. No tracking number in mine. I did get a FedEx email with a tracking number, before even getting the fxtec email. That may have been due to telling FedEx in the past to notify me of such things. On a related note, my tracking status shows that it is now at LANTAU ISLAND, HK.

Well, it does take a while to build up that much junk. Videos can eat up a good chunk over the holidays or other special occasions. And then there are databases/media that continue to grow from instant messaging apps like WhatsApp and Viber. I don't have a 128 GB card in my Relay 4G. I have a 64 GB card, and 16 GB of that is reserved for apps and app data. The regular media goes on the rest of that card. However, 4K video is going to eat up a lot more space. Maybe 5 times more per minute than my old phone? So I'll have 2.7 times more space available on my new card than the ol

How did it look different? I count 7 screws. Do you not need to remove the two that are to the sides of the hinge? This is because the black frame on the left in the below picture is glued to the silver part of the phone (still attached to the keyboard) on the right in the picture? So the screen is on the side not showing of the black plastic part of the frame that you removed? So this is showing the back side of the screen and the back side of the black plastic frame and you would then flip the black plastic over and somehow attach the flipped over scre

I was going to say the same thing. I would have no problem if they wanted to have dynamic display technology on the top of the keys. That would also be efficient from the perspective of manufacturers, so they wouldn't have to have different hardware keys. But the keys would need to be like the ones on the Pro1, where they are staggered, rounded on top, spaces in between, rounded corners on the keys, etc. There would need to be an override to put it back to the stock keyboard in any apps where the apps decide to re-write the keyboard too (last picture). Ideally, the norm would be tha

Seems like they would fit to me. He just has to wait for the Pro2 to come out. The nice thing about this design is that you can still have hardware keys for dialing the phone when the screen is closed, not to mention math operations.

Congratulations! Thanks for taking the photos. I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from them.

I did get a fedex email.

Got my fedex tracking email and fxtec order complete email today, about 1.5 hours after the fedex email. Scheduled to be here next Wednesday, 1/29/2020. UPDATED: I am in Minnesota.

USA QWERTY No-Coupon Paid 7/31/2019 Order number 78xx Got stock assigned email on 1/20/2020 Got fedex tracking on 1/22/2020, scheduled for 1/29/2020 Got fxtec order complete email about 1.5 hours after fedex email

Same here.

I believe they are calling any orders made before they are caught up on production, pre-orders. In other words, in theory, when they ship all remaining, outstanding pre-orders, most likely in February, then it would seem like orders placed after that point in time would be regular orders. However, there is one remaining issue to people receiving regular orders quickly from built up stock, post-February. They still don't have a distribution center in the USA and still don't seem to have a way to send bulk phone packages to the USA without customs issues. If they do have a way to do th

:-) You don't have a Pro1, but you already know how to disassemble it?

I was thinking the same thing (that it could go in this topic). If any more details are needed, please let me know. Thanks for moving it, @EskeRahn

LOL I should have known! The part about not finding them via search is one thing. But there are those that I can see right there in the search results screen, but when I click on the link to go to the topic, they aren't there.

Did you have a reason for disassembling a Pro1, or did you do it just to see how to do it? :-)

Well, from the insulation standpoint, that's important too. We want to keep all that heat in while fast charging the heck out of the battery, right? :-) But better than a broken screen. :-) I'm just thankful people have gone down this path, so we have some options. I don't have a 3D printer, but I was considering using this as an excuse to get one. I asked a *long* time ago if they could release the dimensions of the phone for this purpose. Glad other people are making this a reality. Speaking of my old posts, I can see them when I search, but when I go to the topic in

Without getting into the actual numbers for the highest order number, how does 5400 relate to 150 if you are taking every 3rd order number? 5400/3 = 1800. Or, is there really a mapping from order number to number of orders placed, and you are saying that you'll take the highest order placed and divide that by 3 to guess at the total number of paid orders? In other words, then your 150th order placed might be the 50th paid order?

So what is still remaining is for google to put their extra modifications into this kernel for android?

For some reason, the tape I am using has gotten stronger with age on the bottom part of my Relay 4G case. The case is hard plastic though, so the tape can probably stick to it better than any soft materials. But I agree. Tape isn't optimal. But if a non-tape design can't be made to work, I'd settle for a tape design. :-) Yep, that's an option. It is going to affect the display quality a bit, I'd imagine, but it would certainly protect it more. :-) I guess water getting in through the holes needed for the front-facing camera/sensors might present a problem with the water getting s

How do you know it was the 150th pre-order placed? Is that done by querying the API they are using in WordPress? And if you can map order number to true pre-order count, would you be able to take the highest pre-order number and find out how many phones were ordered?

To the point of the parts that wrap around to grip the halves of the phone and possibly getting in the way of the sliding mechanism, tape is a viable option. It certainly isn't as fancy as no-tape, but it does work. And it isn't like we are going to be taking the back off the phone frequently, since it doesn't have a quickly removable battery. The plastic fingers on my last usable case for my Relay 4G broke off earlier this year, so I had to resort to tape. It has been holding the case on very well. I like the idea of the long side vs short side option, @EskeRahn.

LOL! 😂

Will you be doing a piece for the screen too?

Can you define thin and fiddly? :-) I guess, besides fit, the other thing we'll want to consider is how much cushioning something like this will provide. I would imagine, with a 3D printer, you could create air pockets in the outer walls of the case parts. With the mold approach, that's not possible.
