Craig 1,435 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Any update? Have testers been selected yet? Notified yet? Devices shipped yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,427 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Well yes, we just got it in a newsletter: Beta Testing We’ve been going through the hundreds (and hundreds) of completed beta testing forms. Thank you to everyone who has offered to help us out as we have been overwhelmed and delighted with your support. We will be getting in touch with the lucky few this coming week, so keep an eye on your inboxes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
netman 1,424 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Speaking of... I accidentally unsubscribed from the newsletter and can't figure out how to get back in. I've sent an e-mail to ask if they could subscribe me again to no avail. Maybe it got marked as spam? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dreamflasher 120 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 How many beta testers will be there? Let's post here, if anyone of us got selected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 1,435 Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Well yes, we just got it in a newsletter: Yes, I got that after I posted. Sounds like quite a few people interested. The time it shows is not the time I actually posted, probably due to the moderation delay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VaZso 1,997 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Do you know what beta testing form mean? Just because I wrote an e-mail on the same day when they sent the initial e-mail about beta testing, but I did not receive any reply or form-like questions... Maybe they didn't even receive my e-mail or it landed directly in spam folder, etc... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The time it shows is not the time I actually posted, probably due to the moderation delay. Yup, an odd bug, and even if approved they does not appear at the front as activity in the thread until a moderator make a comment in the thread too.... So I have made a habit of after approve to make a dummy comment and delete it.... Making it even more tedious.... I sure hope they find a smarter solution soon.

EskeRahn 5,427 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 How many beta testers will be there? Let’s post here, if anyone of us got selected. I do not know how the beta test is going to work, but I hope they find an open way of reporting so people do not waste time on describing and reporting bugs other have already sent in. I don't see much point in doing it in this completely open forum though. I mean not much point in discussing bugs found as long as they are corrected before (or shortly after) release.

ddark-il 100 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 How many beta testers will be there? Let’s post here, if anyone of us got selected. It might be not possible to post here that you're involved in beta testing, There is an NDA(obviously), and it may(or may not) require you to keep the participation in beta testing as part of confidential information.

Since the beta tester will probably have to sign an nda, I highly doubt that the testers will be allowed to post about bugs anywhere public. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

netman 1,424 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Speaking of… I accidentally unsubscribed from the newsletter and can’t figure out how to get back in. I’ve sent an e-mail to ask if they could subscribe me again to no avail. Maybe it got marked as spam? So I have figured out how to sign up again I think :). I think due to browser issues the popup offering to sign up for the mailing list did not show on my pc, or I am simply blind. Anything much I missed in the last newsletter?

EskeRahn 5,427 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Anything much I missed in the last newsletter? Not really. Except the beta, some about the Düsseldorf event (now two days ago), and a photo sample. (I copied that to Chen's photo-thread) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The first ones were placed here: https://www.fxtec.com/blog/#blog But that stopped for some reason. PS I like that you got both the Logo as the avatar and FX on the name, so it is clear to everyone that you are part of the staff. *ThumbsUp* Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am a bit disappointed that you haven't received my e-mail (I have sent it one hour and two minutes after your request). I have sent you that mail from the mail address registered on this site, however, I have just forwarded it now from an account of my own domain. However, I am afraid it is too late now, but this possibility was very important for me and falling out without the possibility of even being part of the selection makes me really sad.... Anyway, I hope the best for F(x)tec and Pro1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scy 10 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 How many beta testers will be there? If I understood them correctly at the Düsseldorf event, they're aiming for around 10 beta testers and might even have selected them already (but not notified yet). The testers are mainly chosen by where they live and which mobile operator they're using, e.g. to make sure the phone works well with Verizon in the US and across all bands. Technical expertise seemed to be less important. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig 1,435 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 @fxtec - is it safe to say if we haven't heard anything by now we were not selected? Or still working on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Erik 1,487 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 @fxtec – is it safe to say if we haven’t heard anything by now we were not selected? Or still working on it? The beta testers have been pre-selected. We're waiting on the legal documentation / NDA to be prepared by our lawyer before we contact the chosen ones :). This is expected to happen in a week.

Hook 2,945 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Who are the beta testers? Any updates :-) I suspect they are not allowed to announce themselves or give any information in the forum. NDA and all that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
