I guess, let's see if we can get @Casey's attention. Did you join the beta group on Telegram? Not having my Pro1x yet, I haven't, so I don't know what is being discussed there.

I don't blame you. 🙂

I believe they have Pro1 parts in London while all the Pro1x IGG stuff comes from Hong Kong. So I think if you set up a battery purchase directly with the London office, you will probably get it. The Pro1 battery is different than the Pro1x battery, from what we've been told by Casey.

I'm sure the Pro1x is not a money maker at this point, but Fxtec does have another venture that may be quite successful (you have to scroll to the very bottom of the page to find the FxTec link). https://www.linxdot.com/ I discovered it when Expansys sent me an add pairing the Pro1x with this device. It may be why they are not out of money. If so, great.

OTA for the same was also smooth. This time, I stayed rooted. My experience is that, most of the time, OTA updates don't disturb root, but once in a while I don't have root afterwards. Don't know why, but no big deal. Easily fixed when it does happen.

Not asking for a refund here (well, I backed via IGG, so not eligible for refund, but I would continue to wait even if I could). I believe I will get my Pro1x (actually, I will end up with two), just no idea when. I am lucky enough to have my Pro 1. If I don't, it's money I spent 2 years ago. It's been "written off" already.

Same here. Curious.

lineage-20.0-20230213-nightly-pro1-signed installed smoothly over OTA. Still January 5th security patch. I discovered after that I no longer had root, but since I don't actually use root very often, I don't know if it was this OTA that undid it. I reflashed Magisk V25 as a zip and all went well. V25 does make you jump through a few more hoops than older versions did when you use this depreciated method. It does make you download and update the app, during which it does the whatever with the boot stuff. But it's easy and painless. I only use it to give superuser permissions-- it use

This is a user to user forum. We know as much as you do.

Ugh, my mistake. Sorry. I lost track of the fact that you were dealing with the original Pro1, not the Pro1x. They are not the same. That's why its handy to have your model listed under your avatar (see thread pinned to top of forum). So sorry for my senior moment... 😞

No, our understanding is that they have been manufactured and are finally shipping slowly after being held up by the logistics contractor.

I'm sorry you see it that way. I certainly am not fighting with you and mostly agree with you. I'm merely pointing out, and I think it more than trivial, that even more money was needed than just for starting a new phone, FxTec ran an IGG campaign to create a special edition of the Pro1 with more memory and alternate OSs. This was a device already in production, they just needed parts. Lineage was ready to go and UT was well on it's way (I don't know the latter, just the impression I had from others). They raised money for this limited scope project with the IGG campaign. They later

The second part of that same sentence was "...despite having paid for the components back in December when our campaign officially ended." 😉

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The only thing I disagreed about was the "realized they could no longer purchase" part of the quote because it implied they hadn't yet spent (and lost, I believe) the money. The rest was spot on.

Actually, I believe this is incorrect. According to the Feb 2021 update, they did indeed purchase the SD835 SOCs and then then their source failed to deliver. They gave no details of what happened to that money, which was from our contributions, but I don't think they were given a quick refund and it probably set off legal challenges.

Is this what you already tried?

I gave my local shop both that and the screen changing video and they are keeping them on file. They are willing to tackle it if it ever comes up. They will certainly do better than I would.

Then your girlfriend would send the phone in for repairs to the UK, as I have (from the US) twice with my Pro 1. I wouldn't choose to do what @mattockdid either. I'm not very technical. Stuff happens, but I've always had good CS from F(x) Tec. While he said anyone can, I wouldn't, and I don't think he said everyone should.

Ummmm... I'm not sure what you are disagreeing with. @mattockdidn't say it was a good thing to have to recover from a dead battery, or that Lineage shouldn't have been pre-installed. He just said being able to get Lineage was what finally motivated him to figure out the battery. 😄

Just to clarify, I am assuming (because you said expensive) you are referring to getting the complete setup from FxTec that includes the frame. Nice! I will always go that route if I need a replacement as long as they are available.

The first thing I think of is Firefly. Or were you referring to your case? ;-)

Yup! That works great!

Nah. They don't work here either. I even tried 2 different browsers and my phone as well. :)

It really depends on what you mean by "planned." My take on things is that F (X) Tec took business orders (probably early on, as @EskeRahn suggested) that would be shipped once the perks had been shipped. The perks (and website orders) were palleted (I'm assuming the pictures weren't fake)and sent from the factory to the Expansys logistics operation. All seemed good, so the retail orders were triggered. Then they were hit with the contract dispute. But while our units were stuck, the businesses were able to get the devices (they were no doubt direct shipped from the factory) as they were n

Assuming this is January 2023 (they didn't have screens available in Jan 2022), to be honest, that's really not that long, especially if they are setting up something new. This is a very small operation. But, lets see if we can get @Casey's attention.
