So...I was one of the lucky few that got a Pro1X right away when they first started shipping...like 2 years ago I think. Problem for me was that, despite assurances from F(X)Tec, it turned out that the device didn't really work with Verizon. Between being promised that there'd be a new antenna revision, to "no it's just software and we'll fix it," etc. I never actually used the device. Fast forward to now, the phone I have been using is starting to get a bit wonky, so decided to try the Pro1X again. Granted...there's been no updates to it, and therefore it still won't work with

Thanks...yeah when I asked FXTec about it before ordering, they said Verizon would work if you just swapped a SIM from a working phone. Which...doesn't work. Then several times over the last 1.5 years or so Francisco has variously said the issue would be fixed with a software update, or at one point saying the antenna would be replaced...which he later said he never said, but I kept the receipts on 😄 At any rate...say I was desperate enough to try to use a different carrier, like T-Mo or AT&T (which just don't have coverage as good as Verizon where I live, but probably work ok)...

Anyone have any idea if switching from Android to Lineage would aid in the Verizon connection issue?

Yeah I've been down that road with Verizon before - using a working SIM from another phone. This time with the ProX1 it just didn't really work at all...so, hoping the firmware (if and when it ever happens) will let it work.

I got my Pro1x a couple months ago...and immediately found that it couldn't connect and/or stay connected to Verizon well enough to work...at all. Was advised at the time that it was a known issue in the firmware, and that a new version would be available soon. As far as I can tell, that hasn't ever happened. Does anyone have any information on when that new build will be available? Relatedly, am I going to have to do the update manually, or will there be an OTA update (like that would come down over a wifi connection maybe)?
