Just update to 1.14-q-20230816320942-dev-starlte and everything work perfectly 
Well done /e/ team !!!
Just updated my FP4, and a couple of issues. Anybody seen these?
Bluetooth: the QualcommⓇ aptX™ HD Audio profile to my Fairbuds XL seems broken (after a factory reset on the headphones, then checking that aptX still works fine from Debian Testing on a laptop with an Intel AX200 Bluetooth adaptor). HD Audio can be turned off generically in the Bluetooth settings for the headphones after pairing again, and while the headphones are off, but then I guess they fall back to Media audio now, whatever that is. At least the Media audio profile works!
I assume (without any proof, sorry) that this was working under v1.13.
Anonymous usage of the App Lounge is failing. If you try to turn on Show common apps only (turning off Show open-source apps, and Show PWAs), and then visit the Categories page, it displays the error message “Error fetching Anonymous credentials”. The error popup implicates eu.gtoken.ecloud.global and GPlayHttpClient. Hope that’s useful info!
I don’t connect with a Google account, so I don’t know if that’s working. I do know that the App Store can be a bit wobbly at times, and often fails to show me any “common apps”.

The device isn’t rooted
OTA update worked flawlessly and everything is fine - though it yet remains for me to verify that the device doesn’t restart when charging overnight as it previously did.

Works very well,
Thanks!
Same Bluetooth issue on my FP4 - my headset is useable again after disabling HD Audio (using SBC as fallback). AptX was disabled in the past due to missing AptX drivers, but AptX is enabled by default since /e/ OS version 1.4 AptX causing issues.
FP4 stock rom supports AptX, adding the missing drivers should be an easy fix for the dev team.
Btw, I have another headset using AAC as HD Audio codec, no issues there.
Another FP4-specific issue: It is not possible to manually select a network provider. De-selecting “Automatically select network” immediately shows “Couldn’t find networks. Try again”.
As of now these devices have been identified as having missed v1.14 and a few previous builds
lisa , gauguin , miatoll, alioth , oneplus3 , ginkgo
The team identified an issue with the a _variant issue as coming in from lineage. We are working on resolving it and releasing these builds.

update to /e/os 1.14-s-20230816320616-stable-FP4
not rooted
sd card in slot
since the update the system crashes and reboots often while I switch from a second user to the main user (owner).
While the last reboot it showed a massage that data might be corrupted and a factory reset might be needed.
In Version 1.13 no Problem at all.
What can I do?
Thanx.
Similar is sometimes seen when Settings > Storage shows say 85% full.
This looks a lot of headroom but If your storage is anywhere around 85% I suggest try to fix it. Do you save your used updates ? If so they use a lot of space.
Thank you for the hint. But storage shows 25%.
How can I save or delete updates?
Settings > Updater > top right 3 dot menu > Preferences > toggle delete updates when installed.
As noticed by some others, the Maps icon moved to the last home screen.
But I have a more serious problem with Maps. When I set my destination and click on the ‘start’ button, I can hear the directions (turn right, turn left…) but the map doesn’t display properly. I only see a black screen with my speed and a big arrow, as shown on enclosed screenshot.
Previously it already happened that I see this screen, but only for 1 or 2 seconds and only in specific circumstances.
Now it permanent and the app is unusable.
Edit :
This bug is linked with the option called ‘affichage tête haute’ in french (head up display ? On screen display ?). Wien I turn it off, the app works fine. But when I turn it on, the small window that should display in a corner covers the whole screen.
Same for me, but this behaviour was here also in v. 1.13.

Rooted: False
Update went fine, some issue though…
1# Screenbrightness issue still there, it dims without any reason. When the sun is out, it is almost impossible to read the screen.
I have turned off any setting related to this, but no improvement.
2# Ghost inputs issue still there as mentioned in the FP4 topic.
Here is reported that there will be a solution for this by FairPhone
https://forum.fairphone.com/t/ghost-inputs-on-fp4/82837/473 9
3# Microphone issue, a lot of people complain about they can hear me badly when talking. This is with phone on my ear and when using the speaker option. When I’m a little further away they can hardly hear me talking. This issue is already present since I started using the FP4 in Dec last year.
#4 Not able to select manually another Network provider, message: “Couldn’t find networks. Try again.”
Maybe this might help?
Now, the case of my new pixel5 !
I bought it a few days ago and it arrive at home with 1.12.3 release (stable-redfin).
Next I download & install the 1.13 release without any pbm except the time (more than 20mn vs 5 mn for the S9+).
Same thing with the 1.14 version which was a little bit faster (1.14-s-20230816320616-stable-redfin *).
All seems OK but some pbms :

You’re right, from one of my carriers switch from 5G to 4G has solved. But I have to say that this is not a real problem for me as for @w1900.
This is still happening. Is there simply an outage? Is it working for any other v1.14 users on FP4 or otherwise?
EDIT: yes, I’ve tried switching all Advanced Privacy protections off for App Lounge, clearing cache and data.
I note that Aurora Store does provide its own anonymous access to free Google Play apps right now, albeit in a very rate-limited fashion. However it wants to update Google Play Services, Google SIM Manager, and Magic Earth right now. I’d be very nervous to update those on a degoogled phone running its own Magic Earth edition as “Maps”!
Q: Is it at all safe (private, keeps me at the same level of independence from Google accounts and services) to use Aurora Store as a replacement for the App Lounge?
Yes, this is a good workaround. Changing the Preferred network type to “4G” in the SIMs menu does the trick as well, no need to use the hidden menu. Thanks a lot for this tip!
today the issue is not reproduceable.
Hello,
I’m a FP4 user running 1.14-s stable and I can go to App Lounge, select only most common apps, go to Categories, select any category and see a list of apps.
You probably tried already to force quit, clear data and storage of the App Lounge app?
Aurora Store also has an anonymous connexion to Google Play apps but it was not working anymore a few weeks/months ago. Don’t know the status of that. In any case you can use both App Lounge and Aurora Store, and just update there the app you need. If I’m not wrong the “Google services” updates are taken care of with microG.
