Jerrykaisler 3 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Today was the best moment I've had with the pro1. I bent it with my hands, threw it across the room into a wall, I retrieved it and the thing was still on even though the screen was cracked, and the keyboard dislodged from the body! I pulled my sim and sdcard from the phone so I could finish the job. I took it out to my workbench and smashed it to pieces with a hammer. It was truly the most satisfying moment I had with the pro1. The spontaneous reboots for days on end and then stability for a couple weeks, only to start rebooting again. The ability of the camera to take one picture and then move to the settings screen every time I want to snap another. The dropped calls ad nauseum. The screen swapping to whatever application or doing some unwanted action because I so much as looked at the rounded edge. The inability to wifi call or use SMS over wifi. The bluetooth failure to transmit audio to some devices only putting out a weird popping sound. The wobbly screen that rattles because the hinge mechanism is put together poorly. (The nokia n97 worked with zero rattle) The first screen that had a pink line through the side. The antennas/radio that are garbage (I put my sim in a unihertz titan and found out I actually have 4g service in a lot of places I thought my provider didn't have service at all.) The lack of updates/patches. The autorotate feature that just doesn't work. The volume controls that don't work for speaker phone, in call volume, or other externally played sound. The constant popups to us gboard/keyboard when trying to use the keyboard. Even though I destroyed my phone with a hammer, I want a refund for the time and trouble this phone put me through. I can't think of a worse experience I've had with a phone. I can only hope that a second release comes out that is a bit smaller and a lot more functional. If a pro2 were to come out as wide and tall as the iphone6 without the rounded screen, decent radios, and decent build quality. I would consider using my refund money to buy fxtec's next iteration. Good riddance pro1. Edited June 7, 2020 by Jerrykaisler 3 3 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hook 2,972 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Seems an awful waste since a) I have no idea why you think you are entitled to a refund for a smashed phone and b) unsmashed, you probably could have sold it. But if the therapy was worth $700+, glad it was cathartic. By the way, very little of the above has been my experience. 4 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The account created a few days ago using a "spamdecoy" mail-address. It all have an ooze of fake... But I could be wrong of course. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznfantasystar 5 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 *sigh* I don't understand the mentality of people who choose to use their time for wit, instead I dunno...community service? Or reading a book to better oneself. I have a Unihertz Titan to pass the time, but no doubt I will be ready to buy into the Pro 1 the moment things start settling in. We're a niche audience: This is expected. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
