I've seen some evidence for that. When I set my phone preferred network to LTE Only, the phone switched to LTE Band 12 and I could not make any calls. But, with my normal setting , I stay on LTE Band 4 and everything is fine. I unfortunately don't get out of where I live much, but when I do I'll make more observations.

Just a note. If it is true that the Pro1x can't use VoLTE, either because of hardware or software, there is more to it than that because my phone is not useless (at least until April 2024). It works. One difference between my phone and @jakfish's seems to be that mine, as I said above, stays on LTE Band 4 while his seems to switch bands. As I have also said before, if I weren't on a forum, I'd think I had a fantastic phone with nothing to be concerned about. I am not knowlegable about this stuff, but I hope our observations have some clues.

I merged another thread here to keep information in one place...

Yes, people have. I have, in fact. See my previous reply.

Thank you for this. I really wanted the simpler US for Physical Qwerty layout, but not having a colon was a show stopper. I have no idea why this wasn't immediately fixed as it seems to be, essentially, a typo on the keymap, but Anassi may be buried in something else. Your version works! As long as I'm remaining on stock, Finqwerty is a lifesaver. (I do hope it won't be too long until I go to Lineage). Thanks!

Well, I am out in the wild with my Pro1x. T-Mobile seems to have gotten better here. I seem to still be using band 4. Call was fine. Using internet on data now, no wifi. It's slow but steady. Even downloaded Firefox. As I said, slow but steady... no balking and quiting. I am wondering if US problems on T-Mobile have to do with which bands T-Mobile is relying on where. Or if there are defective units, as @EskeRahnraised, is it many or just a few? Any are too mmany for those that have them, I understand, but if weren't hanging out at this forum, I wouldn't see any reason for testing.

As far as I can tell, my Pro1x is constantly using Band 4 throughout my house and anywhere in my yard. It doesn't seem to switch. Your theory would predict that I'd be fine if that's really the case (I am basing this on LTE Discovery, assuming I understand what it is telling me, which is not guaranteed). I'm going to take it with me shortly to a place I know gets terrible T-Mobile reception on my Pro1 and see if it a)switches and b) if it does, does it have trouble recovering later.

Seems a little overkill... I move the phone away and just tap the speaker button. 😄 No additional software needed.

Casey has been made aware on Discord. I will be joining the beta group in the next day or two.

Yeah, this was really weird... I accidentally did this early on but I didn't believe it was what fixed things. But when @jakfishwas telling me about his problems in discord, I just, on a whim, made the suggestion to see what would happen. I keep thinking it has to be a mistaking correlation for causation error, but the question is, what is the real variable.

Well, it's ironic since, although they have SIMs, neither my Pro1 nor Pro1X are intended to be used as phones, but I just received my Pro1x and I having no problems at all. WiFi connectivity in my house is superb. I did have some trouble with people hearing me at first, but that went away after one adjustment (though that could be coincidence)... I changed preferred network to not include 5G (which my sim seemed to default to). I tried both a T-Mobile sim (Now back in my Por1 where it normally lives) and a Ting Mobile sim (a T-Mobile MVNO) which is in there now. Looking at 3C Network M

This is a user-to-user forum, so we don't have an answer to your question. If you backed the phone on iGG, the updates there are the official answers. Basically, they are shipping slowly. If you backed it on IGG, you weren't paying for a phone in the same sense as purchasing an in-stock item from a store, you were providing an investment in the development and production of a new phone. Crowdsourcing doesn't guarantee that the project will succeed. I believe you will get your phone, but it is hard to say when. If you ordered it from their web site, you have consumer protections availa

@Casey Note the dates. The post about deducting the battery is March 2nd, the "I got my refund" is March 18th. 😉

What is funny is, whoever obtained your cell number, the message itself almost sounds like it was written by one of these AIs... sort of real sounding but also off the mark in many ways.

Sorry, no. IGG is a platform that provides a service. That's like saying, when your website business fails, the company that hosted the website and made money off you is a pyramid scheme. 🙄

What an odd, and oddly personal, text, especially to be anonymous. It may be quite accurate, but seems to be from the perspective of a lower down employee panicking as they get inundated with complaining emails. The oddest comment is the one about IGG being a pyramid scheme... it would only be a pyramid scheme if it promised a product (which would require new sales to pay for old orders), which it explicitly does not. Requiring funds from other sources because your logistics contractor changed the terms of the contract does not make it a pyramid scheme. Lol.

I agree.

Ummm, that statement by @EskeRahn was not in reply to you. You are in a different category.

Yeah, saw that. Either the person who wrote that mistakenly put years instead of months, or they think the campaign started with the original Pro 1. The Pro 1 was not crowdfunded.

From IGG: you accept the risk that the project may experiences changes, delays, unforeseen challenges, and it's possible that a project you fund might not come to fruition. We leave it up to you to make your own judgment about a campaign’s merits before making a contribution. I believe, iirc, language to that effect also appears when you make your pledge.

I believe they did get assurances before the campaign, but that's why the crowdfunding was needed. As soon as the money was released, they paid for the order. And the supplier accepted (and didn't return that payment). This is why crowdfunding is gambling... Unfortunately, the theme song of this crowdfunding campaign is one of those blues songs where the singer intones "If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all." 😟

To be clear, I assume this was ordered on their website, not an IGG backing? IGG folks do not have this recourse, as far as I know.

Don't have the exact version. I do have 20210705 if that is of any use. PM me if it is.

I would think that a simply worded direct statement that if the phone is bricked, there is no guarantee, written or implied, of recovery would be sufficient. FxTec isn't Samsung where just flashing an alternative OS voids warranty, even if a hardware failure is unrelated. You encourage flashing alternative OSs. I've had two warranty repairs of my Pro1, once with LOS, once with AICP. Surely if someone bricks their phone by something they did flashing the beta, you would at least work with them to try to unbrick it. You just need to be covered in the event that the phone can't recover e

Hook wanders in, excited that he just got an email with a tracking number for his Pro1x, notices that he seems to be interrupting some weighty discussion and scampers back out of the thread.
