  1. Sadly, this is the most common breakage with Verizon, even if you did have it working once. You seem to have tried everything anyone else has suggested. I'm sorry, but I suspect you will need to switch, AT&T works very nicely if you have good coverage where you are. I gave up and took an even more radical solution. Got a Moto phone to be calls and text only (on Verizon) and made my Pro1 a PDA. 😉 So, yeah, basically, what was already said in the Verizon thread.
  2. We haven't had an official update since the New Years one. As for refunding, I'm not sure, the way IGG crowdfunding works, that refunds will be offered. From a post on IGG: Knowing them, I suspect they would issue refunds if they couldn't deliver, but honestly crowdfunding doesn't even require that. As IGG likes to point out, it is an investment without a guarantee. I'm not worried. I think they will deliver, but may not be able to make the target of March. I'm willing to be patient once more.
  3. If by "plan" you are referring to the "Timeline" on the IGG page, you'll notice no bubbles have been filled in since October. 😄
  4. In other words, is it any different than what is described here?
  5. As I said in another thread, I'm a bit more optimistic than this. I will be surprised if they hit March, but I don't expect anything on the scale of 6 months to a year unless there is another global shutdown. I do think 2021 is different from 2020. Of course, I have no particular facts to base this projection on,

    Spare Parts

    The parts are also "scheduled" for March delivery (estimated). I'm guessing the spare parts are ordered at the same time as the parts for all the phones.
  7. Not a good idea to post your email. Spiders will pass it on to people you'd rather not have trying to sell you stuff. Better to use PM.
  8. Whether this year can be compared to last year is unclear. Last year, they were new to manufacturing and logistics and the pandemic hit closing everything down. This year, they have renegotiated contracts, a lot more experience and, although the pandemic is still here and UK is in lockdown, I think they may have a better handle on how to move forward. I would expect the Pro1s to pop up when the Pro1xs do, that they will maximize their Factory run time they have contracted for. Still means maybe March to June, but I doubt one year this time around unless the lockdown becomes much worse glob
  9. If you are in the US, feel free to PM me your address directly. 🙂
  10. Also, these two viseos for screen and battery replacement.
  11. Actually, that disappeared for a few days. It's back now. Interesting.
  12. Android Ice Cold Project (Android Q). It's an alternative AOSP-based ROM.
  13. Not on Xfinity, but that is a very common thing that goes wrong on Verizon (if you get it working at all). Happened to me twice (which does also mean I got Verizon working twice). Got tired of fighting with it.
  14. By the way, note that they have removed the change matrix and revised their "story" to reflect the current specs with no notation of there being a change. I understand, but some transparency would have been nice. (This was pointed out by someone else of Discord before I saw it, so I am just echoing my agreement here 😉 ) Be interesting to see what they reveal in their "first look" event Tuesday.
  15. It's possible, but I would expect the effect of that would be more along the lines of causing touches to be inaccurate. That used to happen a lot with Palm PDA digitizers and the cure most times was to run the corner of an index card carefully around under the bezel. But, as I say, the effect was to make the digitizer inaccurate (you would tap one place but it would be interpreted as tapping at a different location). Not clear why crud would trigger an avalanche of touches across the screen on it's own, while just sitting on a desk. Not saying you are wrong. Just raising a question. I
  16. They turned me down for sending a display after first considering it. They indicated that they are no longer confident that just replacing the screen addresses the underlying issue. Hence, my Pro 1 is now at their offices. With a number of these issues popping up, they may want to do a more thorough investigation. Doesn't mean it won't turn out to be the display, but I think they want to look more deeply into it. Hope you do get the new display, however.

    Pro1 Just died.

    I did send them an email inquiry on 05 Jan to confirm what the post office said, that my Pro 1 had been delivered on 30 Dec. They answered today with their confirmation, so they are working, even if from home, and tracking things. I do believe this will take a while and, as Slion suggested, probably won't hear much until they have finished servicing my Pro1. I don't expect that to happen quickly, especially given and intermittent problem (ghost touches-- dramatic when they happen, but not constant or predictable) and the lockdown, but appreciated the quick confirmation.
  18. I do suggest making this thread sticky if possible because if a couple of days of inactivity sinks it too far down, folks may end up creating more new threads,
  19. Yeah, much better sponsorship options. Added a little more beer. 😉
  20. Although I currently don't have a Pro1 and I can't imagine *ever* having anything approaching 20 tabs open at once, I just used my slab phone to subscribe. A small enough effort to support this. 🙂
  21. On the other hand, I'm happy someone finally made a keyboard slider for someone with big hands and thumbs like me. I hated my work issued BBs-- I could never type on them, I also remember rejecting the original Droid way back when because the keyboard was just too tiny. I do hope FxTec thrives enough to get another model for you folks who want a smaller keyboard, but this is the most comfortable phone keyboard I have ever used.
  22. Because I paid to ship from US to UK rather then they just shipping me a part at their expense. 😉 They will pay for the return trip for my phone.
