It's quite sad that only a select few have received their units. I regret buying one from eBay because I was still waiting for my order to be shipped out to me. After receiving the Fx Tech Pro1x from eBay I ended up selling it because it was super unreliable and for it to be my main phone, I can't have it not receive calls or texts because when you work at a hospital and take call, you need a device that's actually works! I've purchased items that I know I shouldn't but this one is my biggest regret and supporting a company that lies to their customers continuously is a disgrace.

Yesterday the phone died one me without me noticing it. My mom ended up in a hospital without me knowing it. I would have noticed something was wrong with my phone sooner if it had a working notification LED! Just crashed and hung on me. Had to reset it to get back to life
Today is my first day out of the house. I am trying to get my mom back to the country (in a hospital on holiday), so I need to place a few phonecalls. I can't even get a connection. The one time I had coverage, the I couldn't hear a thing after 10 seconds. Now I am unable to place a new call.This phone sucks. For real. It's a genuine piece of shit. And that's coming from someone who bought 4 OG's. I hope this is a software issue and LoS 20 gets released soon. As it stands now, a Pro1x iss useless in NL on ALL networks!
52 minutes later, two providers on completely different networks. absolutely worthless connection. And data connection!? What good is service when there is no data transfer!?I hope your mother is doing well. Also I'm sorry your phone died during your situation. I ended up selling my pro 1x because I couldn't even get it to be reliable at all with 3 different types of cellular connections (Verizon, T-mobile and Mint mobile). After selling it, I ended up purchasing my first iPhone with the money I got from the sale. Why have pro 1x if it's unreliable especially when you need it during an emergency.

That sold fast.
I was shocked also 😳. But I was watching a few that were selling used/new and sold anywhere from $805-$950, heesh. But hopefully the person who purchased it from me enjoys it and if they feel comfortable doing the beta testing for better service or wait for FX to finally give everyone the update they deserve.

Thanks for replying. I don’t know as much as I need to about those things. Worried Verizon carrier will crap out on that phone, too.. durn. I need to contact my third party (charity) company to see what they might know.
Hopefully they can let you know and get you more information about the network or any updates that's part of FX. I loved typing on it and doing my emails. It was a great phone on wifi and shoot the battery is awesome. At the end of the day it got down to 30% and that's with 10 hours of screen usage watching videos and browsing the web. I was really impressed with it.

So, with Verizon carrier as your service, you’re not having as good a connection as you did with previous phone?
I’m really wanting to get this phone but my recently bought replacement phone is not getting good connection. I never had that trouble with older Samsung but the times are changing. UghYeah I'm old phone is a Samsung s10e and I'm getting 4g/LTE with no issues. With the FX I was only getting perfect signal only using CDMA/EVDO auto setting but once I switch it global or CDMA/LTE it would drop about every 15-20 minutes and reconnect in less than a minute. When I emailed FX about this issue they said they are aware and trying to do a firmware update or try this beta testing firmware which I'm not to comfortable doing. I was hoping they had an update when they might fix this issue but with FX they never have a straight answer. If verizon wasn't taking away there 3g towers then this phone will be perfect but end of December it be gone and then what, wait for fx to fix it with firmware.

Good luck. I understand! I am still on the fence myself.
Honestly I love it but when verizon shuts down the CDMA network then I'm screwed. I bought my phone on fx website so I already know I'm not gonna get my money back but I need to be honest about the phones issues for the future buyer. Seems like reading on here majority is experiencing the same issues as me. Fx as a company I wish them luck if they ever make another phone.
-
The time has come for me to sell and get a more reliable phone. I do love texting/sending emails but where I live my connection is not great. Fx support did email me that they are trying to fix the connectivity with a firmware about but how soon will that take. It's a love/hate relationship with the phone. If all the bugs are fixed then I'll reconsider purchasing it again but right now back to my old phone 😞

There is a VoLTE switch there. If the SIM really controls that, you might find it grayed out, but if not you can switch it off.
I went into that setting and everything is greyed out and I'm unable to switch it on or off. If that's the setting that means the sim card from mint only uses VoLTE settings? Sorry im not tech savvy with phones. Maybe my phone has an connectivity issue or that's how fx pro 1x are at the moment

I'm not sure why having VoLTE would create problems with calls (and I mean that, I am not super knowledgable so I literally don't know) , but when you said you couldn't disable VoLTE, were You talking about in Android settings or using the phone menu (*#*#4636#*#*)?
Mint, like so many MNVOs now is a T-Mobile MNVO. I wonder if in your area T-Moble is relying more on a couple of the bands they've acquired that the Pro 1/ 1x don't have (e.g., band 71).
Using the android setting only. I haven't tried the phone menu and if I used that is there a way to disable VoLTE on mint mobile sim card? Yeah it's super crazy at least for me when using VoLTE on Verizon.

Recently received my pro 1x a few days ago and been tinkering with it on adjusting network settings to be able to work with Verizon. I went down the whole list in my settings and the ones that seemed decent is CDMA/EVDO and NR. Anything with LTE doesn't work for phone calls or messages at least for me located in Utah. With CDMA/EVDO network it sends messages almost instantly but of course its only 3G. When I have NR selected its LTE or supposedly 5G now and messages take anywhere from 10-25 seconds to send. When I message through snap chat or Facebook message it seems way better which I find weird. Not sure why that is. Hopefully this helps out when you receive your Pro 1x 🙂
Update:
Last night and this morning my data has been slightly worse but not super bad. About every 10 minutes or so the browser won't load or YouTube will stop but then will connect about 15-20 seconds later. I am going to try MINT Mobile next week when I receive my Sim card and see if it's significantly better. When I put in my IMEID to see if it's compatible with their towers it said yes and knew what kind of phone it was on their website, so I'm crossing my fingers it will work and be an improvement from verizon
Finally got my Mint Mobile card a few days ago and boy that made my connectivity worse! I wasn't able to disable VoLTE with MINT and I believe that was causing my issues with calling someone and for them not hearing me. Because through Verizon I had that enabled, it did the same thing but once I disabled VoLTE the other line was finally able to hear me. I contacted Mint mobile and tried to guide me through how to activate, restart sim but still nothing. They are going to send me out a new sim card just incase but I highly doubt that's the issue because it worked perfectly fine in my unlocked s10e. So I ended up going back to my Verizon Sim card and changed my preferred network to global, which for me was slightly better than LTE/CDMA settings and I'm using Facebook messenger to send out sms instead of Google messenger. I would love to hear if anyone has been having luck with Verizon or any other network in the US that are able to give us some pointers. Crossing my fingers F(x) sends out an firmware update or just an update in general with issues with connectivity/data to everyone pro and cons.

What network? I was testing mine with Verizon here in the US. I made sure my VoWiFi was off during testing and it all worked well on my unit. Connected via LTE and I think I allowed Enhanded Voice so would be VoLTE.
@Logan Are you having issues yet with Verizon in the US with delay callings and sms going out? I went back to my Verizon sim card after trialing out Mint Mobile which was 10x worse with connectivity especially when I wasn't able to disable VoLTE. With Verizon I have VoLTE disable and works better but when I activate it, it does not like it whatsoever.

Has anyone notice if their camera after taking a photo makes a noise. Similar so a shutter sound and zoom in/out noise if you would to use an DSLR camera? I've notice that a little more when taking photos. Wasn't sure if it's do to my lose camera glue not holding it in place or if that's how the product is.

If someone does have a 3D printer and is able to comfirm and make one, man I will definitely buy one because I also did the Huawei P20 Pro with adjustments and it was a no go. It kept the keyboard elevated and I wasn't comfortable with that happening.

Thank you everyone! I'm deeply in love with my phone and want it to last forever 😄

@claude0001 with this having li-on batteries its OK to charge full but avoid quick charge at all cost and letting it completely die I should avoid? Just want to double check because reading how everyone has been waiting months for warranty repairs on their Fx pro1, I want to try to avoid that at all cost.

One of the most important things is to avoid charging the phone when it is hot.
LiIon battery do not like being charged while above roughly 30°C. They prefer around room temperature.
So better to charge a device before doing some heavy work, than after, when it is still hot.
Moderate charging is best, I would suggest 30-80% BUT you need to occasionally do full charge as well as discharge, to keep the system calibrated.
I have numerous entries on various aspect of the subject in this category on my blog. (the most basic of them at the bottom from ten years ago)@EskeRahn How often would you say do a full charge and discharge? Discharge meaning completely dead battery correct?
-
Hello everyone. I was hoping if you guys have some insight are extending the life span of the battery. I've heard 2 suggestions that are completely different. 1 was letting your phone get down too 5% and then charge it back to 100%. 2nd was only charge to 80% and never let it go down below 20%. What's your thoughts and suggestions?
Thank you

Dang that kinda blows. There's no way to bypass it huh.

I'm downloading all the apps I normally have on all my devices but for some reason Netflix isn't showing up and I tried to download the app directly from the site but it says "device not compatible". Is anyone having this issue?

It sticks out a bit, it just doesn't let itself be pushed inwards.
If you could look at it from the inside, you would see it having a substantial margin with which it is glued to the frame. On your phone it would seem that the glue doesn't stick well. If I were you, I'd try to not fiddle with it, as to not let it become completely unglued.
I'm like a toddler, i now I shouldn't fiddle with it but I do anyway 🤣. But I'll will hold myself back and let it be

My phone doesn't exhibit what you describe, but then again I think we can give you the all-clear there, because what you can touch on the back of the phone is not the camera itself, it is just a clear window over the camera, part of the phone's casing. The camera unit is fixed inside on the opposite plate, the one on top of which is the keyboard.
Does your camera stick out a bit because mine isn't flushed and when I do apply pressure to it and goes in about 1-2 mm and makes that crunchy sound. Just want to check make sure it doesn't affect the camera in the future

I've been messing around my with my pro 1x for the past 3 days and notice the camera on the back of the phone seem loose. When I apply pressure on the camera lens it slightly wiggles and makes a crunchy sound. Has anyone notice this problem on their units?

I think it depends on where you live. I've read that people in the UK/EUR have had better luck with service but for me in Utah it wasn't the greatest. I even tried 3 different providers (Boost, Mint, and Verizon) and all 3 had the same issues with drop calls or no reception up to a minute continuously on and off. When I was able to connect to a call the other line would tell me I sounded like crap.
Good luck on finding a case for it. Hopefully someone on here who's working on 3D printing is able to start selling them on here. I can't remember which case I bought but I remember I had to cut some areas for it to fit.
