As written before, I’m looking for a way to get back to version 1.11 of /e/OS with my Murena FP4.
I was happy for months until development on my device went in the wrong direction: both 1.12 and 1.13 are much more problematic than the earlier versions.
Extreme currently is the battery consumption of the default mail program, even though I don’t use it at all (since I use the Proton Mail app). Since the default mail program of /e/OS can neither be uninstalled nor deactivated, I would say that /e/OS is also no longer free of bloatware - because other, really bad default apps of /e/OS can’t be deactivated either.
Too bad, it seems that my way with /e/OS is already over after 18 months - I would not buy a Murena Fairphone with /e/OS again!
Thank you very much, it worked! I uninstalled mail, browser, magicearth, gallery and the musicplayer that way! Great, I learned a lot!
I hope that the battery drain of the unused “mail” app will stop now!
Vendor Name: Fairphone
Device name: Fairphone 3
Device CodeName : FP3
Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously : last stable /e/OS v1.12.3 via OTA
Is the device Rooted / Not rooted : bootloader locked
OTA ran without any problems, I only noticed the following
If the device is set to silent, no symbol appears in the top line, but with “vibrate only” it does
The volume when accepting a call is very loud and does not correspond to the value of the controller. If you change this, it will jump to the correct value (typically much quieter)
Version of /e/OS: 1.13-r-20230727314472-dev-a5y17lte
Previous version of /e/OS : 1.12 R
Is the device Rooted / Not rooted: not rooted
1.13 fixed the regression appeared in 1.11 for bluetooth. So good news.
Mappy & Citymapper work fine again after a long time with issues (starting with error and nothing more after).
But I still have some annoying issues :
I must confess that I have not updated yet because of the e-mail battery drain issue… I (obviously) cannot tell whether I will be affected, can others share more details, or do they have suggestions?
Since 1.13 apparently I don’t receive any Mail notification and I have to check emails manually, so my battery life has never been better! Could be worth updating then
More seriously, maybe it’s worth waiting for next update.
Hi! I’ve been trying to install the new e/OS update (1.13) for days. I have to resume the installation many times a day because it interrupts itself again and again, and today I’m still at 58% download.
Is there a reason for this ever lasting downloading?
Vendor Name FairPhone
Device name FP4
Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously
Is the device Rooted / Not rooted : It was bought with Android and then I was guided by a friend to install murena on it.
@Manoj So do you advise that I don’t go on with this update and wait for the next one? I have to clarify that my phone has been veeeeery slow lately, not only with this download, but also when I want to open Telegram, or websites in Fennec App.
Settings > Display > Advanced > Screen timeout > set to 30 minutes.
This will usually allow plenty of time for the download, often done in 10 - 15 minutes, but will vary with connection quality.
It should be written somewhere prominent, the updater does not download in the background. I am uncertain how the download goes if you are “busy doing something else on the phone” as I always start the download and leave the phone on one side.
Thanks for the tip, I tried it yesterday though, and it didn’t work. Even with the Screen on, the downloading interrupts itself, but I’ll try again and let the phone alone to just be sure.
Yep! I agree if it’s the case! It’s odd though that with the previous update downloads, I didn’t have to let the screen on.
Yep, I am talking about Lisa. Technical difficulties doesn’t sound good. Do you have more detailled informations about these “difficulties”? Because I don’t want to remain on 1.11. Because of security reason. If there will be now further update for this phone I have to search another Custom ROM or buy another phone…
btw. I checked the weekly announcements. And they only talk about that the Update is still missing on Lisa.
