Fxtec said, they are shipping in "small batches". Nobody knows how small these batches are. 5 phones a week? Or 5 phones a month? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So FxTec, please start working, or work harder, on getting this phone actually up and running! Coverage, continuously please! As already mentioned before, I use my Pro1x not only for data access (both regular mobile networks and Wifi), but also for calling (outgoing and incoming) and sending text messages using the traditional SMS (and also MMS if necessary). I disabled using VoLTE (voice over LTE) and also changed the priority for voice over Wifi to make it the last resort in case of Wifi being the only connectivity available (i.e. no mobile network coverage), because the call quality was rather bad with both VoLTE and voice over Wifi, but it works for me without any considerable issues apart from this (in addition to VoLTE quality, I also encountered issues with the proximity sensor locking the phone and fingerprint scanner stopping to work after some time until the phone is restarted, but there are workarounds for both of these issues and they don't prevent me from regular work). I understand that the situation might depend on availability of various network types and possibly also frequencies (and possibly even specific configuration of the mobile network, etc.) and I also understand that people in areas covered purely by LTE are in different position apparently, but the statement about the phone not functionning simply isn't a universal fact. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That said, as I verified yesterday, temporarily (until the fix arrives) carrying a tiny mobile LTE router with a second SIM card should make the phone fully functional for both mobile internet and voice calls. The latter just needs VoWiFi support from the provider and VoWiFi priority configured on the phone. (I noticed the limited VoWiFi sound quality, too; it made me think it must have fallen back to GSM after all, but it didn't...!) Considering the mobile router also generally adds some level of freedom for when other devices like laptops need network access while the phone might not be close enough to them all the time, it might be worth the expense. I, for one, am happy to have made the purchase... 🙂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping to make my Pro1X my daily driver while I experiment with the Pro 1 trying things I wouldn't with my daily driver. My Moto is my phone, car phone, hot spot.

Schket 0 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The original order is still in proecssing... In november 22 i decided to cancel the order and get a refund. Until today i haven´t received my refund. I don´t believe that anyone getting there phones soon. I think the company is out of money... The batches they have produced are only sell to amazon, expansys and aliexpress to get as much money as possible and then close the company. I orderd a phone on Expansys. The Expansys Phone work exactyl one week, then there where huge display issues, big black spot on the left side without a reason. The connections, wi-fi, LTE, bluetooth are so bad it´s impossible to work with this phone. The Customer Service on Expansys is the same as on FXtec. No Response or lame excuses... I believe this whole Company and Phone is scam. Im very dissapointed... The very few who really gotten the PRO 1x are lucky, i don´t believe they will be happy with this phone....

FlyingAntero 825 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Definitely F(x)tec is NOT scamming us. They are just struggling with this project and things have not gone as they planned (SoC change etc). Sure, F(x)tec has done mistakes during the journey but I think that they are trying very hard with limited resources. I received my Pro1 after long wait and during this week I am supposed to receive Pro1-X. Let's see how it works compared to Pro1. 5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sequestris 710 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Well it's official. Hubby canceled his Pro1X and the lovely Francisco responded that day that he was passing on the request to finance. Not sure how long this process will take, but I will keep y'all updated. Still in love with my Pro1 though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like what you do as a moderator on this forum, but let us not protect them, where they really failed It certainly does not sound good, but I have not got enough info to know if this is just (yet another) example of their communication skills being far from stellar, or they actually broke some rule - and even if they did, if they were aware of them. From what they have told us long ago they produced and send 'our' devices to a warehouse from which the shipping was first halted for months due to some dispute we know no details about, and is now happening at an appalling slow rate. BUT it is a big question if anything produced after FxTec sent out our devices from the factory, and before we get them will be in violation of the rules, though it is an absurd situation that the shipping is happening so slowly that we can get them from resellers faster. One GUESS could be that it is a consequence of the dispute that the shipping is deliberately slow, giving FxTec extremely low priority. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
