I made the order via Indiegogo and it was successfully registered.

Yeah, it more and more looks like they might be bending rules and exploiting loopholes in trying to keep afloat. They also might already be doing that for longer than we might like to believe. Still they seem to be intent on serving every order, and while I understand everyone's frustration, I'd rather see a few hundred devices being offered cheap from Expansys and some others before I get the one order that I'm still waiting for, if whatever is happening there increases the chances of me getting anything at all. (For what it's worth, these, by the way, don´t seem to be offere

I've ordered one some time ago (still waiting for it, though, as accessories are said to be delivered only after all the device pre-orders have been fulfilled) – because Fxtec seems to be the only source for the battery. No-one so far could find that specific type of battery anywhere else. Maybe it's even a custom shape that's not used in any other device. And even if the spare battery might deteriorate a little bit while being stored, a slightly deteriorated battery is still better than no working battery 😉

Yes, I'm on Stock 2.1.2, which has been my daily driver now for several months despite its shortcomings. I didn't bother installing one of the betas yet; my plan is to go straight to LineageOS when it's official. I had no problems with calls until yesterday when the other side didn't hear me until after two or three reconnections, but that also included a mobile router and a bluetooth headset so I cannot say where exactly the problem was yesterday...

For what it's worth... No band switching here, but that doesn't mean there would be a stable data connection, either. Pro1X with stock Android.

Germany without 3G here, too, Vodafone and T-Mobile SIMs: LTE frequently drops on both SIMs, so no good internet, but voice is no problem, both incoming at outgoing calls work well enough so far.

Donate link worked fine for me using Pay Pal. Where is it? 🙂

Yay! Thanks for the heads up, @Sean McCreary !

Problem is, there are very large world regions which are wholly reduced to only LTE, like most if not all of the USA, if I understand correctly... That said, as I verified yesterday, temporarily (until the fix arrives) carrying a tiny mobile LTE router with a second SIM card should make the phone fully functional for both mobile internet and voice calls. The latter just needs VoWiFi support from the provider and VoWiFi priority configured on the phone. (I noticed the limited VoWiFi sound quality, too; it made me think it must have fallen back to GSM after all, but it didn't...!)

For some weeks, as a workaround for the bad LTE connectivity, I've been carrying a sensibly small and light mobile LTE router (TP-Link M3750) fitted with a second SIM card from my mobile provider, taking from the same data quota that the phone itself would use. For the time being, this workaround provides good internet access when I'm not at home, also while driving in my car, for both the phone and the devices for which I would otherwise use the phone as an access point like my laptop. (Too bad that while it takes a Micro SD card, too, this is limited to 32 GB; otherwise I could store my

Connector problem, perhaps?

@Tomatoman29 @VaZso As a late followup to this... ... I can add (I think I mentioned it elsewhere at the time, but forget to add an update here) that I did get the USB connector module for the Pro1 from Fxtec, replaced it and the connection problems were gone. (I found it difficult, though, to open and reassemble the bottom part of the phone without breaking anything, like the tiny wire that connects the fingerprint reader and the inside parts of the phone buttons (camera, on/off, volume +/-)... Maybe support still has some of the boards?

Thanks! That's good to know. The source I had my information from must have done something wrong there then...

Contrary to that guide, I've also read that QPST/QFIL does not even work in a Windows VM under Linux (let alone under Wine, as there is no direct USB access under Wine). For QPST/QFIL, it would seem you really need a 'physical' Windows system.

Yay! Worked!

Finally decided to enable off-mode charge on my Pro1 X, too, but while the fastboot connection itself does work, the specific command fails: $ fastboot devices c3156900 fastboot $ fastboot oem enable-charger-screen FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation') fastboot: error: Command failed $ fastboot oem off-mode-charge 1 FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation') fastboot: error: Command failed $ fastboot reboot Rebooting

Nice! Might be time to finally upgrade my old Pro1 that still runs 18.1, now that it is not my daily driver anymore. Do I need to go via 19.1?

I got a shipping announcement from FedEx with tracking number, naming Fx Technology Limited as the sender. Depending on where you live, be prepared for having to pay income duties in cash (and when you pay, make sure you get a receipt, as there have been several reports that FedEx never knew about such a cash payment and tried to collect the money a second time, sometimes through third-party debt collectors).

Just to make sure, do you get the "Charging this device via USB" persistent notification after connecting to the PC? You need to swipe down to see it, there's no special icon in the status bar except the flash overlay on the battery symbol. If you tap that notification, it should tell you "tap for more options", and these ought to include "File transfer"? Regarding spare batteries, even after many of us have been searching the internet, the only known source is F(x)tec themselves, but none of the spare batteries which are offered on Indiegogo have actually been shipped so far (as far as I

My phone looks like your screenshot when no device is connected. When I connect my JVC HA-S30BT headphones or the Logitech BT Adapter attached to my living room stereo, "SBC" is selectable, too, and it is selected by default. I haven't seen any other options yet, but I'm not sure whether those two devices support them. (I think I do have an aptX capable Bluetooth adapter somewhere, but I would need to start an expedition in my house to find out where it is 😉) So far, I was able to connect all of my Bluetooth devices, including headphones, in-ear headsets (mono) and car stereo.

Since I ordered my first Fxtec phone, a Pro1, in Sept 2019 (which also seems to become the one to arrive last...) I've read everything Fxtec communicated (plus every comment in this forum), including a couple of personal mails from support, and while I've been having my doubts and a lot of bad feelings about the goings-on myself more than once, too, from all we know nothing of what they have said over the time can safely be called a lie. Wrong, overly optimistic estimates by the bucketful, yes, but really nothing where we can be absolutely sure they would have known beforehand that their annou

@Rasva Thanks, that confirms my suspicion that it's Android-specific...

Just for the record, my magnetic connectors (data + charging, with at least some quick charge capability) have not prevented the charging problems on my Pro1 running LOS 18 (state going to 'not charging' instead of either 'charging' or 'discharging'). With the Pro1X, I'm still lucky to not have experienced it.

I haven't received updates for my 2019 website order lately, either, but they confirmed to me earlier that the phone would definitely be delivered, too. They seem to have forgotten about keeping their non-Indiegogo orderers informed...

Looks like Pro1 stock Android had similar problems, even though, at least at times, some people saw other notifications than just when charging... I never did use the Pro1 with stock, so I never made that experience...
