    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.

    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.

    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

    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?

    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

    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

    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
  11. Hook
    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.

    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

    My build number is Titan_Slim_20220812, so I assume mine is the non-EEA version. I am fabulously happy with this phone and am so glad I didn't go for the pocket (even though I have no idea if I would be fabulously happy with that one or not). Again, keep in mind my iuse case. It is my phone and text appliance, which means it is my 10% device. But it does what I really need--phone, contacts. texting, messaging, Android Auto-- extremely well. It gives me a quite usable keyboard for anything I might need on the go. I CAN use it for anything else, but only if I am running around and so n

    Glad to hear you worked it out. I am very happy with my Slim for the use case I have for it. My muled Verizon Sim works great, including data (I tested without Wifi). It curiously says in settings that it is Sprint, lol, but has the correct access point for Verizon and says Verizon wireless when it starts up and on the notification shade. Also, made one of the smoothest pairings I've ever had with Android Auto, If I am going to do really extensive writing or editing on a phone, it's going to be my Pro1x everytime, but for texting and even small writing/editing touch-ups while I am out

    @EskeRahn Wow. This is the first I've heard of this issue, and here you are, with it 😞 Upon investigation, I just found 11 updates on stock Android and went through a wifi-only update and all went well, every one. Nor have I seen any issues browsing on wifi. Granted, my experience was not based on 90+ waiting updates... I'm in the US, state of Maryland, using Verizon FiOS. I wonder if the Pocket uses slightly different internal hardware, though I can't imagine such a case.

    Aug 2023, I can confirm an old Pro1 has internet access (4-10 mbps down on Band 13) and makes calls on Verizon post paid, and Visible (plus) MVNO. Note Visible "unlimited" legacy SIMs used VBLINTERNET APN not VZWINTERNET and had massive device compatibility problems with the whole planet of Verizon retail and generic unlocked phones. Visible legacy SIMs will be shut down Aug 2023 or Sept 2023. Note a Pro1 only had band 4, not band 66, and probably very little Carrier Aggregation support. It will never be a speed demon on VZ except at 2 am in the morning. https://specmap.sequence-omega.net/ Aro

    That's great it is working for you there. My guess is your phone either hasn't found band 41 yet, or where you are doesn't have any LTE band 41 towers. Are there people reporting band 4 not working on Tmobile? Mine works okay on Band 4, both in Minnesota (multiple towers) and in SW Tennessee. It didn't work on band 41 in SW Tennessee and doesn't work on band 41 in Minnesota. I don't remember if it found a band 41 in Mississippi. I was using my Verizon 5G wifi hotspot most of the trip, so my Pro1X was using wifi more often than cellular.

    In summer, when I don't have jacket pockets, my pro1x is in my left front jeans pocket, my wallet and keys in my right front Jeans pocket and, since I am going to the car, my Moto Verizon slab is in my back jeans pocket. The Moto immediately comes out and is hooked up to the dashboard to provide Android Auto for calls and mapping. 🙂
  19. Hook
    Yeah, it's quite odd. My Pro1x seems to lock in on Band 4 and genuinely seems to use LTE (VoLTE for calls). I sometimes have the situation where the other party can't hear me, but toggling speakerphone on and off cures it and it stays cured for even days. I have no idea why that works. In general, my Pro1x performance for calls and texts reminds me of my Original Pro1, which was also far from perfect and that's when I de-converged using a moto slab on Verizon for a super-reliable phone and my Pro 1 as a pocket computer that could use a T-mobile sim if it was needed. That is now what I do

    so, after testing with stock android - same issue. not sure if its a fault with the phone or not compatible with verizon's network. sometimes the other person can hear and sometimes nothing
  21. Hook
    There is also my solution (developed for my Pro1, but I like it even though my Pro1x has okay connectivity),,, getting a cheap slab phone to use as a phone and hotspot. Sure, a hotspot is smaller, but it isn't any cheaper than a middle range moto slab on sale and I always have enough pockets. And I get to keep using Verizon. I use my Pro1x 95% of the time, but I have a reliable Verizon phone when I need it and the cheap moto can take the wear and tear of taking it in and out iof the dash mount in my Honda for Android Auto. 😉
  22. Hook
    You may be right, but that would surprise me. I would think if that were the case, messenger phones would be much more available from the big companies. Most of that audience out there look at me like I'm either nuts, eccentric, quaint or Grandad,,, sometime all of the above... whenever I snap out my keyboard (rarely ever use either my Pro1 pr Pro1x without the keyboard). They are somewhat mystified by how good my internet is, but they don't see the cheap moto on Verizon in my other pocket serving a secure WPA2 connection. 😉

    Okay, I have been using my Pro1x for two weeks and it is now officially replacing my Pro1 as my daily driver. So I will not only be answering the thread question, but I will also be comparing my Pro1x to my Pro 1. They are both great pocket computers but the question was which would become my daily driver and which would be conscripted into the kind of experimentation I wouldn't feel comfortable doing with my main device. I like the Pro1x so much, that is the one I would like to always have with me. Also, for context (especially in terms of how I might not be like you), I live on the

    I agree, it would be initially expensive. OTH, it could have been ultimately cost-effective, given the lack of testing has made US market rather off-limits for the Pro1x. I think Planet Computer made the same decision about the Gemini/Cosmo, and the phones ended up having a lot of trouble with Verizon. (TMo pretty much worked.) I've had to abandon my own efforts to make the 1x a daily in the US East Coast. Within the same hour, I couldn't make a wifi call and I couldn't receive an incoming call despite my GSM setting. @Hook seems to be the last US caller standing. He can make p

    @Hook and I, both residents in East Coast, mid-Atlantic states, have spent time extensively testing the calling issues with the Pro1x in the United States. Our testing number is: 408-647-4636 The test center allows you to record/play messages and will also test your connection by immediately playing back your voice. It appears the news is not good. The only successful US network for Pro1x calling is GSM. Any other choice (eg: LTE, VoLTE) will result in call failure—no connection, dropped call, or inability to hear caller. This failure is persistent. In T-Mobile’s Preferred Netwo
