Hook

I bet there are more than 3 Americans here, though maybe only 3 post often, me being one of them. Thanks to FxTec and everyone here. I have learned so much waiting for this phone as I am not nearly as knowledgeable as most of the folks here. It's great to have such a phone becoming available, but it's also great to have a community that supports it.

I suspect but don't know that you can't do this and receive Google certification. I also don't know if you could do that by digging into the fastboot files and finding the Gapps. I'm out of my depth here. (I root and flash ROMs, but I'm just knowledgeable enough to be dangerous). 🙄

I'm guessing Sherilee changed her (?) mind about selling it. There were still 0 bids when pulled and while a side offer could have been made, I'm skeptical. In her last couple of posts she seemed to be reconsidering (it was a choice between the Pro 1 and staying with a Key2). They didn't seem that focused on how much money they would likely be offered by the end of the bidding. Of course, I'm just guessing here.

Any information from those that have the Pro 1 on whether it's encrypted by default. I have always had my phones unencrypted and prefer that.

Why? As far as I know there is no operational definition for a batch being a precise number of units. You can have a very big batch.

Rather than speculate, ask them about it directly in email. 🙂

Don't know as I've always used SuperSU in the past.

I'm not sure. I know Netflix won't run on rooted devices (at least in the US) as a general rule, but I still get it listed in the store for download-- it just doesn't run. It could be the unlocked bootloader. The funny thing is, it does run on my rooted Tab S, but if I factor reset the TAB S and try again, it doesn't run-- had to restore from nandroid backup. Flashing updates to ROM don't affect it. Very weird.

I may take my chances with the FCC patrols and remove the sticker also. 😏 😂

Unless one of the customs agents stole one, this isn't part of any US shipment, so it had to come from somewhere.

For one thing, it's the week-end. 🙄

Just because it is shipping from New York doesn't mean that's where the person got it. I'm pretty sure you could walk in with the box without invoking a problem with customs, just as Chen was able to bring prototypes for the NYC demo event.

Also, TBH, I have Lineage 14.1 on my Tab S and it still gets all current security patches.

I was thinking more Terminator or Cylon...😂

Since I consider phones to be PDAs, I'll start with those: Palm T2--> Palm TX--> Nokia 5800--> Nexus One (HTC)--> Samsung Galaxy Player (non-phone)--> Nexus 4 (Given to Son--> Nexus 5--> Nexus 6p (Died in May)--> Moto G6 (interim meh phone)--> Pro 1 PS: I did not include countless T9 cell phones, the only interesting one being the Moto Razor (not sure which one).

@EskeRahn I think it would be good if we could keep this thread focused on reporting bugs and not testing features. The latter should go in THIS thread. Just my 2 cents, FWIW.

I'd be curious to hear from anyone with experience with Nova Launcher what would be lost with switching launchers? Are the keyboard shortcuts, for instance, part of the launcher or in settings. What exactly is optimized for Landscape? Nova handles landscape for the launcher just fine, but can't enforce it on apps. What are the advantages of Fx Tec's stock launcher? No hurry, I don't have my Pro 1 yet (which is why I'm asking you folks 😉).

Also, batches may be in terms of shipping lots, not manufacturing. They peeled off a small shipping batch to make sure the logistics could be worked out, but the factory might be producing a a fairly steady pace. Again, I don't know anything for sure, but there is a lot of room for interpretation here.

They didn't. Although they didn't meet their deadline, it was made clear in the request for payment that it would be about 6 weeks (mid-September) for delivery.

Yes, received by all U.S. first batchers. Hopefully to be resolved this week. Again, disappointing for us, but I'm sure far more frustrating for the F(x) folks. I continue to wait patiently. This phone will be worth it. 😀

Lol. We might need to break out a dog pic thread and let this thred get back to cases. 😄

She literally used my first Nexus 6p as a chew toy-- luckily, she just missed the battery. The moral of the story was not getting a case but rather insuring the phone was never where she could get it. 😂 (And, yes, I kept her).

Stock assigned, IGG Coupon, US, [mod, copied from comment:] November 4th, first batch.

@Waxberry Just curious if there is any news on US hub? I'm fine if that will take longer, but I just noticed that it wasn't mentioned. Thanks.
