Feedback for v1.21

Murena Fairphone 5, updated from 1.20, not rooted.
Control center is a bit buggy displaying the status bar.

  • Device CodeName : SM-G965F
  • Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously : 1.20
  • Not rooted

It works fine :slightly_smiling_face:

Same issue for me. Same smartphone. WiFi and Bluetooth are disabled a few seconds after manually enabled.

Identical update from Murena One 1.20. to 1.21.1-s-20240326389527-stable-one. And Wifi and Bluetooth cannot be switched on.

I then reset to factory settings, but no change.
And it feels like half the status bar is missing (no SIM inserted).

Brand new Fairphone 5 with Fairphone OS on IMG-e-1.21-t-20240323388918-stable.

Worked very well. Has been running smoothly for a day.

Thanks for the good work. :+1:

Thanks for letting me know @piero. I have been able to “adb sideload” previous version and wifi works again.

The app “Signal” is now unable to take pictures from within the app. It says " no camera".
This was no issue under the previouse version ans there was no Signal update during that time.

i don’t know why @jcollado have success restoring e-1.20 on a murena one device when @lonclegr not.
Perhaps because he use adb sideload method against internal storage method ?

Edit : because he format /data…

Can you open banking apps with the fingerprint semsor? On the original ROM of the FP3 the update to A13 lowered the “security level” of the fingerprint sensor and some banking apps refused to work with it anymore.

I don’t use any banking Apps, or even the fingerprint sensor to start with.
You could open a new topic for this question to increase visibility (and to make it easier to point to), I guess you are not the only one interested.

For reference: Confirmation that /e/OS T for FP3 would inherit the LineageOS non-compliance with the fingerprint sensor change was here … Week 49 2023: Development and Testing Updates - #13 by Manoj.

Actually, I had the same problem as @lonclegr (“can’t load Android system. Your data may be corrupt…”), but I went ahead with the “Factory data reset”. It wasn’t an ideal solution, but it worked.

the continuation…
i downloaded two version:
1.21.1-s-20240326389527-stable-one
1.20-s-20240220382012-stable-one
and following the instruction https://doc.e.foundation/devices/one/install
for confirmation i have installed at first the 1.21… version, but wifi and bluetooth not work;
after that i installed the 1.20… version (the previous one) and now all works as expected.
I thought I had already done the backup, but it wasn’t like that. I lost all my data. My fault.

The installation was ok, no error.
But after reset, I can’t have Wifi: if I turn it on, after a few seconds it turns off whithout connection. In the settings, turnning on the Wifi does not seem to activate anything.
The rest of the system seems ok.

Rooted: No
The installation was ok and without any error.
Since the upgrade to 1.2.1, icons for the provider, call volume and 4G telephony have appeared in the status bar, blocking space for basic information.
Unfortunately, these cannot be hidden or switched off in the settings. Although this is not a malfunction, it is pointless and annoying.
It would be very helpful, if this issue could be resolved. It seems, that I am not the only one with this issue.
Anything else seems to be working well.
Kind regards

Hi Piero,
Thank you for this reply. I completed the survey. Should the problem also be reported to the Gitlab?

As you already reseted your data, you can install e-1.20

I don’t want to loose my data; it’s my main (and only) phone. Since it’s a serious problem (bluetooth and wifi connectivity is essential nowadays), is it possible to send an OTA update to correct the bug as earlier as possible?
