VaZso 1,998 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Latest update is available here. Quote by FX Technology Mar 24, 2022 • 12:17PM 41 minutes ago Pro1-X March Manufacturing Update Dear Pro1-X backers, Here is a quick update regarding Pro1-X mass manufacturing: Shenzhen is now out of lockdown and the factory reopened for business on Monday. We have also now booked the final assembly slot, ready to begin mass manufacturing your Pro1-X’s! Our staff have been granted permission to travel to work, but only if they have a 48-hour negative Covid pass. As they are still short-staffed, the factory has been undergoing some housekeeping and recruitment procedures to get enough workers ready for mass manufacturing. We have now re-booked our assembly slot. This was originally due to begin on Saturday 26th March, however, new regulations now prohibit working over the weekend. This means that the trial assembly process will officially begin on Monday 28th March. The trial assembly process will help us to detect and resolve potential problems within the assembly line before we begin mass manufacturing. This will also ensure that the end product quality meets our high standards and expectations. Once this has been completed, we will finally be ready for mass manufacturing and shipping! We will send round a further update next week to show you the Pro1-X assembly line and also confirm the final shipping and delivery timeline. Thank you for your continued patience and support. Team Fxtec 🙂 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

xman1 3 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Chinese manufacture will only get worse in the future. Everything that can be moved out of that country, the better. Still waiting to see if things start shipping prior to placing an order. Not going to put $900 out there only to have it disappear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If history repeat itself, FXtec starts manufacturing and shipping alright and some people actually report having received their phones. But then before they can finish all the pending phones they have to stop because of Chinese New Year during which a major crisis breaks in China and stops all manufacturing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, don't say that, please. I was still under the impression that the "before Christmas" that was communicated for my Pro1 in 2019 will at least hold true for 2022!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VaZso 1,998 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 An FCC page has been also published yesterday of Pro1-X FCC approval - see here. Pro1's internal name is QX1000 (this is what also included in camera's EXIF info) and Pro1-X's internal name will be QX1050. There is a confidentiality request which tells internal and external photos, test setup photos and user manual will be available after 180 days. 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems to me this is the original Pro1? Definitively no. You may also check documents for Pro1 here and I see main PCB and USB board are definitively different. Anyway, it was the unit sent for FCC approval especially for Pro1-X, it should nothing to do with Pro1 (these are completely different units in this aspect).

Your interior photographs link takes me to the right place, the QX1050 interior photos under "label and label." But VaZso's link takes me to the QX1000 page, which seems to be the Pro1, If I go to the top bread crumb, FX Technology Limited, I see the QX1050 link with the 2022 date, but when I click on the QX1050 link, I am also taken to the QX1000 page, which is the Pro1. I can't find any link that takes me from the QX1000 page to the page with the interior of the QX1050 that you posted and if I click the QX1050 breadcrumb link on that page, I am back on the QX1000 page. So, I don't know exactly what's going on at my end that is different from your end. And maybe there is a lot of reuse from the QX1000, but I cannot find the uniquely QX1050 links. Upshot, however, in spite of whatever I am doing wrong, I believe QX1000 is the Pro1 and QX1050 is the Pro1x Anyway, good news, and I'll leave it at that. I'm easily confused. 😉 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very interesting. Your link does what I say in both FireFox and Edge on my laptop (which is where I've been reading this forum), but your link works perfectly in FireFox or Fulguris on my Moto phone (Pro1 is still in shop). Have no clue. But not a big deal enough to keep at it. Just puzzling. 🙂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sequestris 710 Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 (edited) So here's the thing. Periodically I send the guys messages just to say hi, wish them Happy New Year, see how their families are doing. I'm nice to them. I treat them like human beings. I contact the guys in China to wish them Happy Lunar New Year and exchange pics of our cats. They are really sweet people. When I ask them a question about shipping dates or updates, it has never taken more than 24 hours to get a reply. I didn't intend to buy another phone but my husband wanted one. But I had happily been loving my phone for a year or so and still continued to keep in touch with them. Why? I needed nothing right? These people are my friends. They are people. They have lives and families. They created this marvelous device that we are all either thrilled to have or anxiously waiting to get our hands on. When I pre-ordered the Pro1 it was February. I received my phone in December (2019). When I changed my mind after I sold it I placed another order on 12/16/19. I received that on 01/28/2020.

I see and fully support your point that aggressive ranting about F(x)tec, as is popular on the IGG forum, does not help anyone and certainly will not lead to better communication. However, what you are insinuating is also wrong: customers should not need to be "friends" with companies they do business with in order to get support queries answered. Anyway, your "system" is not scalable: if we all had personal ties with the guys at F(x)tec, their mailboxes would be flooded with cat pictures in addition to our user requests. I do not see how that would improve responsiveness ... 😉 Edited April 6, 2022 by claude0001 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
