Craig 1,435 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 All this talk about the later pre-orders not getting headphones reminds me even early preorders haven't gotten headphones, and we haven't heard anything from fxtec about em in a long time. As far as I recall noticing, only two people have reported receiving them, one guy from japan on twitter got them with his device, and mosen reported here on the forum got them sometime after his device. I'm not too concerned personally, but curious..... obviously more important for ppl to get there phones, but an update mentioning the headphones from fxtec might be nice... 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Uh I thought 'all' the first batch got them. I got a mail a few days after I got the Retail Unit, saying that they would be sent shortly, and that I should expect them at my door within about a week.

Well it is quite safe to say that NOTHING is going to happen before the factory starts operating, and (the same for any supplier of anything not already stocked). And it is anyone's guess when the virus-situation is going to allow for that. And with much much bigger players pushing, We should be lucky if the first thing they start on is the Pro1s or any need component. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DieBruine 397 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 In The Neherlands one of the larger retailers has stopped advertising and increased prices. So, I think it's safe to say that if this continues any longer you won't even be able to get an Iphone 😅. Trust me, I feel your pain. My family members are also still awaiting their phones. A Priv with a cracked screen, an S6+ over 4 years old and an... my point being, shit happens. My family has seen and held/felt a Pro1 (mine) and are still anxiously awaiting theirs 😉. So, think before you act 🙄. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I recently contacted support because I hadn't recieved the update mails and they wrote that part of the staff is already at the factory again. There might still be problems with recieving components from suppliers and obviously they cannot produce at full output, but at least it seems like something is going further a bit :) 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SchattengestaIt 553 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Cancelling won't increase production speed. If you don't want or need a Pro1, feel free to cancel. If you do, try to be patient and remembet that you will be one of the first ones to receive the phone when production and shipping starts. Cancelling will cost you at least one to two months more if you change your mind afterwards. My phone is breaking apart since months. Battery lasts a few hours (and is difficult to access), and the screen is unusable when it's cold, warm or somewhere in between. And it was already slow when I bought it. But we can't change the situation in China anyways. All we can do is wait - the same thing applies to the FxTec team. 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do feel your pain, however, @SchattengestaIt. My Relay 4Gs (many of them) would get to that state with the ribbon cable for the screen, and I'd have to heat them up or cool them down, depending on how they were feeling at the time. Due to the delay in getting the Pro1, and because I had exhausted my supply of spare Relay 4Gs, I finally had to acquire some ribbon cables (they are almost impossible to find now) and replace them in a couple of the phones so that I had something to get me by until my Pro1 arrived. I'm ashamed to say that did use a Pixel 1, non-physical keyboard phone for a handful of days, while waiting for the cables to arrive and to find time to do the surgery. But that was only using it as a client to the wifi hospot in my Relay 4G (which was working enough, barely, to get the hotspot turned on). So I was without sms texts and phone calls, but could do email and instant messaging and navigation and web browsing on the Pixel 1. That was the only time I had truly used a slab phone since I started using smart phones back in 2007. Edited February 26, 2020 by david 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shilor 71 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) My biggest concern is that fxtec goes bankrupt because of corona. 😞 They can't produce and therefore sell phones and earn money right now. Who knows when the factory is able to start producing again... And no, it is not because of money, I just want my pro1.. And I hate my dying Priv every day a little more..😫 ( sry for the last part, I just had to vent 😌 Btw. I preordered on May 17th, paid on Aug 13th and received an "order received" mail on Aug 20th.

Adrienspawn 126 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 As a pre-orderer [sic] I would easily scrap the earphones for a proper case or discount towards a case. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SchattengestaIt 553 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 As a preorderer I would easily pay 100€ more for no accessories but the phone itself. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
