Fairphone 6: No new updates found

/e/OS Devices Fairphone

Since updating my Fairphone 6 to /e/OS 4.3 I don’t get new updates shown in Settings / System Updates. Checking for updates always returns “No new updates found”.

I’m watching for new releases on Releases · e / os / 🚀 Releases · GitLab and then eagerly await an official build image at /e/OS builds . Until /e/OS 4.3 the update in Settings / System Updates was usually available when there was an official build image available.

But where does the Fairphone check for new updates?

Finally, I installed the last /e/OS 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 releases via local installation of the OTA image downloaded from the official build images.

Thank you.

But still, despite Builds – Django REST framework having the builds listed, Settings / System Update returned “No new updates found”.

But since I already updated to 4.4.2 via local installation, I can only check again after a new release is published.

One must bear in mind the concept of a staggered release as seen

Observation: official releases don’t happen in the first part of the quoted window … or even a bit later by some reports.

Ah, thank you. That might explain the observed behavior. Maybe I’m a bit spoiled from my days as an iPhone user.

When the next update is announced, I’ll try to be a little bit more patient…

Staged rollout is also covered with an FAQ in the documentation.
