    Hi, I'd like to pre-order the Pro1, and my carrier is Verizon. I am located in the US. Will it be easy setting up F(x)tec Pro1 on the Verizon network? Will Verizon offer the F(x)tec Pro1? Are there any other concerns you would suggest for consideration? I've never set up a non-Verizon phone with Verizon (even my BlackBerry Priv was bought at Verizon) and would appreciate any advice before pre-ordering. Thanks.

    verizon will only work with LTE. VoLTE should be toggled on. CDMA is no longer used by verizon and GSM isn't used by them

    Have you tried to enter Verizon in the search field here? There are whole threads discussing the issues with getting it to work e.g. https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2133-fxtec-on-verizon

    You can change to a normal Navigation bar in Settings -> System -> Gestures -> Navigation mode. And, no, whatever troubles you have with connectivity in stock is not changed in Lineage, That stuff is in the blobs Lineage has no access to, I always had trouble with SMS on Verizon with the Pro1 (never tried on my Pro1x). That's why I gave up and deconverged. 😉

    i figured this is a long shot but after many years of keeping the old pro1 in the closet i decided to get around to installing LOS 21 and using the pro1 since the moto z3 verizon is locked and gets no OS updates. most things i want functioning work save for a few banking apps that detect root (most work with magisk) but i can live with that. I can't get SMS sending to work. I tried referring to a previous post about CDMA less provisioning but i realized that verizon has already retired CDMA to begin with so when i chatted with them they seemed lost. I can receive SMS and MMS as well

    As many people know, the situation in the US for choice of carrier has recently been obliterated. -T-Mobile is affordable and so far, accepting of most devices. However, they have AWFUL coverage, and once they retire their old network in December 2022, they may also begin cutting off devices. -AT&T has more or less cut off access to anybody that does not use an AT&T branded LTE/5g device as of the beginning of February. No more bring your own phone. RIP my BB Key2 -That leaves Verizon as the only remaining good option. They have the best coverage anyway, and they are mos

    I'm on 2degrees (Welcome Bay) on a Pro1X running LineageOS, and I've had missing SMS for the last 2 or 3 weeks. Discussions with Mrs MonCon revealed that some texts had disappeared into the ether, apparently delivered from my end, never received to her end. Like you, I put my sim into a backup phone and it worked, then back into my PrawnX and it worked. It's just started playing up again. On Friday I sent Mrs MC a few texts from the dining room to the lounge, and when we compared notes, again a few missing. Don't think I've been missing any incoming, but I'll ask around, and n

    Are you in the US and are you on Verizon? I ask because this was the problem I had when I used to try to have my Pro 1 on Verizon. It would work fine and then some aspect of the SMS would fail. Then it would come back without my being able to explain how and then, after a while it would break again. I gave up and put my Pro 1 on T-Mobile. Have never had SMS fail. This was back a couple of years before Verizon became so aggressive about whitelisting.
  10. Hook
    That may very well be a Verizon thing. I had Verizon working for a while on my Pro 1 and I hit a point where, a little different, I could send texts but couldn't receive them. My Pro1 on T-Mobile and my Pro1x on Ting work fine both in VA where I live and in CO Springs when I am visiting my son.
  11. Cizzlemob
    I am on Verizon in central Colorado. I did solder two of the spring connectors back on that I found were broken off at the same time that I replaced my battery. I did all that before/in order to get my phone to turn on for the first time. Just seems weird that I can take calls, make calls, and receive text but can not send a text.
  12. Motoman
    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)?
  13. Hook
    AT&T are pretty much out of the question. They are now the most aggressive white-listers and they will boot you. As I said before, people have gotten Verizon working, but, yes it has to be a SIM muled in a Verizon phone approved for ViLTE on their network, and then moved to the Pro1x. T-Mobile and their MVNOs are the only ones in the US that just work, Moving to Lineage still gets you the play store, using MineTheGapps 14 (see the begining of this thread). Other security intensive apps, I don't know. Depends on if they detect the unlocked boor-loader state (chances are, your boot

    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)...

    Verizon is hit or miss. Some people have it working fine, Others have trouble. The OS won't make a difference, I have seen peple reporting that they get a notification from Verizon that the phone is unsupported, but so far not much evidence that there is any enforcement yet, When i had my Verizon SIM in my Pro 1, ages ago, it worked for a few months and then SMS broke. I gave up. I now use Ting in my Pro1x (which is T-Mobile). Here is the long Verizon thread: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2133-fxtec-on-verizon
  16. EskeRahn
    AFAIK The problem originally wasn't in the phone end, so the OS would not matter. And to make it worse some carriers are switching to 5G, not supported by Pro1/Pro1X. Some carriers only allow phones in they explicitly whitelist. To some extent a mule device have worked in tricking a carrier into allowing it in, but that trick worked better with 3G than 4G. At the baseline, it would require the carrier to allow it in, and the bands to be compatible. At some point FxTec told they had contact with a US carrier (I forgot if it was Verizon). But I have no idea why that did not end in a wh

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

    After happily running my Pro1 since January 2020, I scored a new-open-box Pro1X on eBay. Of course it has default Android 11. What is the newest Android version for the Pro1X, and how do I install it? The reason I got the new phone was the original battery swelled in my Pro1, damaging the charging port and dislodging the keyboard. I ordered a new battery from F(x)tec, got it in about a week, and took the phone to UBREAKIFIX where they did an excellent job repairing it. Even though it works just fine, I figured it's time to semi-retire it. While the Pro1 was in for repair, I swapp

    I am aware and I have it installed. Issue is the same across versions so I'm moving to the newer thread. Disregard my previous comment about it being fixed, it enabled me to send 1 SMS and it broke again a few hours later. Note that when I go to click smsc refresh, the text box only gets populated after I click "refresh". I looked up what vzw was because I didn't know how to set anything to it, and it seems related to Verizon? Not sure how that is relevant as Verizon is not my carrier nor is it a carrier at all in my country (France). I was also unable to learn how to set smsc

    The Pro1 is certainly capable of VoLTE, but it depends on both the carrier's willingness to let it onto their network and whether VoLTE has been provisioned in a way that will work on the Pro1 with their SIM card. In the past few years, more and more carriers have been moving to allow only whitelisted phones. Here in the US, with a Pro1 (or Pro1x) you can no longer use AT&T, You can use Verizon only if you have a SIM that has been activated in a a Verizon approved phone and moved to the Pro1 (and it doesn't always work). Only T-Mobile US and T-Mobile US MVNOs work well at this point. I

    Don't know if this is the problem, but it sounds like what would happen to me on my Pro1 when I used to try to mule it onto Verizon's network. That is exactly what would break and how it would break. On T-Mobile (USA), which has no problem with the Pro1 or Pro1x being on their network, no problems at all.
  22. RagingSkittlez
    So i know there have been a lot of messages on the Verizon thread, but im trying to figure out the proper way to get this phone activated on Verizon. I really don't feel like leaving Verizon due to the fact that i always switch back because of service. I have been successful at getting the phone calls to go through and i can receive texts. I just cant send them out. Everything else seems to work perfectly. I've talked for multiple hours on the chat and a few hours on the phone with Verizon Support and I was not very successful. I have tried the CDMA-Less Option and a new sim ca
  23. Mysti-Que2020
    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

    Hello, I'm based in the US and Comcast has their mobile division dubbed Xfinity Mobile. This is essentially Verizon's network. I found a thread that the device works on Verizon, so I can only assume that it also works on Xfinity Mobile, but would like to check with anyone here to find out if there's been success or if i'll be the first lol.

    My phone is becoming closer and closer to being a completely useless brick on Verizon. 1. Verizon changes to SMS has disabled all text message sending unless I am on WiFi. (Even the workaround of marking a SMS urgent to turn it into MMS does not work.) 2. Verizon will no longer allow me to call forward the Pro1 line (but will allow me to forward other lines). This is particularly important due to no cell service at home and #3 below. 3. Call over WiFi will not work without being a Verizon Branded phone. 4. Voicemail indicator will not work. I am very tempted to drop th
