Feedback for v1.4

I indeed sometimes test features and fixes. Build version:

e_FP3-userdebug 11 RQ3A.211001.001 eng.root.20220915.172242 dev-keys

I thought there was only one rc2 version. I usually see a lot of versions in my updater, but now its completely empty.

Ah, your reply on #25, i must have read over that. Although I do wonder if it would be possible without a PC?

I do not know Fairphone well, so I cannot help further.

During a testing session, many revisions might be sent out; when the final is fixed, testing goes quiet.

If you are on the testing channel, you will not collect a “final” version unless you get out of the test channel. If I left the test channel I would reboot and not be impatient to refresh the updater but see if any might arrive in the morning – I should know what to expect by looking at the published ROMs for my device.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. I’m by no means an expert, just trying to help by testing some stuff as I’m incapable to fix anything myself :stuck_out_tongue:.

How do I leave the test channel?

Settings > System > Developer options > near foot of page, Connect to /e/OS test channel.

Aah, thanks! I have been looking for that for a while.

Hello

The 1.4 update resulted in a boot loop scenario on my Motorola One 5G Ace (kiev)(XT2113-2).

After the original installation back in June, all OTA updates have worked fine up to 1.3.

I booted to recovery and 1.3 reloaded successfully.

The initial installation started at 1.0 with:
recovery-e-1.0-r-20220527188878-dev-kiev.img
copy-partitions-20210323_1922.zip
e-1.0-r-20220527188878-dev-kiev.zip

Let me know if you need additional info.

Thanks!

Hi,

Hoping the team would do the magic with next update and make Oneplus 8 possible to install bank apps. Or is there something I can do with this issue?

With samsung S9 update to version 1.0 did the trick and “OP mobiili” worked, but since I was forced to buy new phone, OP8 don’t let you use this app.

Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra

After installation, instead of prompting to reboot, it prompted to install (again). Updater closed when tried to click it. Finally rebooted to see if would resolve the issue, and updater does list me as 1.4 now. Successful? Hope so, hoping it’s not borked now.

Edit: Next morning now. Tested calls and messages, wifi. So far everything works fine.

Update from 1.3-r to 1.4-r worked as expected on my Fairphone 4. No issues for more than a week of daily use. Thanks to all developers.

On samsung s7 edge, I waited for 1.4 to update to 1. version, seeing all this troubleshooting. I heard that it was ok but

Now I lost gps. Tried to reboot, change parameters of advance privacy, localisation
 Sonetimes it works, but.not reliable.
I lost alarm clock.
App lounge stops sometimes. Everything is much slower.

I NEED gps and alarm clock I am so, so upset by /e/, feeling like beeing on windows OS or something like that.

I had some installation issues like @Hieronymus , but after that it worked fine and still does it, on my #fp3
Thanks to the team!

Hi @oliv, It is a big jump from for Samsung users on an old Android version to /e/ Q and Advanced privacy!

Please read, https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/advanced_privacy.html, after a brief read you might find you agree with me that this is “really advanced privacy”. I recommend turning it off and keeping it off till you get used to Android Q. (I am actually perfectly happy to have it missing in a self-built ROM.)

Yes, many have found that Manage my location will pop back up after you thought you had changed it.

It seems necessary to switch on Advanced Privacy; got to Manage my Location within; select Real Location; Swithch off Advanced privacy; reboot the device. Now come back and preferably with Advanced privacy still off, confirm that your “Real location” is still selected. Even if you have to do this again (with a variation if necessary) it is important to get this to “stick” at Real location.

Are you referring to a generalised gps issue or more specifically Maps? Only if the latter, you might read this link I wrote about my tested method of getting a fresh start with Maps.

Regarding alarm clock. Hidden below (click left arrow to reveal) is an image of my Clock, I can swap between this digital display and Analogue using the 3 dot menu top right > Settings.

I find Alarm at bottom left. Here I am able to add an alarm (with, lower centre of screen, blue accent + ) for instance for 8:30 am Mon - Fri. I can also add a different alarm for different days.

Hello
I have an S7 I just upgraded from version 1.3 to version 1.4.
I use the IZLY app to pay for my meals at CROUS. Until now I did not have any problems.
This app has disappeared from my phone and when I do a search on App Lounge to reinstall it, it doesn’t offer it to me, even though I had installed it in V1.3 with App Lounge.
Do you know if this app has been banned in App Lounge or if it is another problem?

Sincerely

Bonjour
J’utilise l’appli IZLY pour payer mes repas au CROUS. Jusqu’à prĂ©sent je ne rencontrais pas de problĂšme.
J’ai un S7 je viens de passer de la version 1.3 Ă  la version 1.4. Cette appli a disparue de mon tĂ©lĂ©phone et lorsque je fais une recherche sur App Lounge pour la rĂ©installer cela ne me la propose pas, alors que je l’avais installĂ©e en V1.3 avec App Lounge.
Savez vous si cette appli a Ă©tĂ© interdite dans App Lounge ou si c’est un autre problĂšme ?

Cordialement

I confirm that I cannot find IZLY with App Lounge but it seems to lead to Crous mobile. Might this be a solution?

Apps in v0.23 was different it used cleanapk. IZLY is still found at https://m.apkpure.com/izly/fr.smoney.android.izly.REC

Je confirme que je ne trouve pas IZLY avec App Lounge mais qu’il semble mener au Crous mobile. Est-ce que cela pourrait ĂȘtre une solution ?

Apps dans la v0.23 était différent il utilisait cleanapk. IZLY se trouve toujours sur https://m.apkpure.com/izly/fr.smoney.android.izly.REC

This sounds similar to my issue (see posts 35 & 41 above)

  • package (BT Wi-fi) removed without notification / consent on update to v1.4q (FP3+), unable to reinstall.

@manoj my understanding is that app lounge now installs directly from the playstore. Both BT Wi-fi and Izly appear there on a search in my browser, so please could someone from e/os/ explain why are they are now not found / able to be reinstalled through app lounge? Also, and importantly, should app lounge be uninstalling user installed apps without user notification / consent with the consequent risk of data loss?

Hello

Thank you for your answers.
@aibd The Crous Mobile app is only used to get information, Izly is an app to pay for meals, it’s a wallet, so more sensitive. Indeed I had found the .apk on apkpure, but can I trust this download?

@dave and @Manoj Indeed the deletion without any information is surprising, for me it is without loss of data since this application does not keep anything on the phone.
Sincerely

Bonjour

Merci pour vos réponses.
@aibd L’appli Crous Mobile sert uniquement Ă  avoir des informations, Izly est une appli pour payer les repas, c’est un porte-monnaie, donc plus sensible. Effectivement j’avais trouvĂ© le .apk sur apkpure, mais est-ce que je peux avoir confiance Ă  ce tĂ©lĂ©chargement ?

@dave et @Manoj Effectivement la suppression sans aucune information est assĂ©e surprenante, pour moi c’est sans perte de donnĂ©es puisque cette appli ne conserve rien sur le tĂ©lĂ©phone.
cordialement

@dave @claudiousse an issue has been created and assigned here. Feel free to add your comments to the same. Have passed on these posts to the team.

That issue appears to private / restricted to /e/ staff. I get a 404 error when I click it

Thanks @manoj for picking this up and raising the issue.

@manoj I’m having trouble accessing that issue. When I click the link I’m taken to a login screen,
my browser offers the login details for this site, but these are not accepted. Do I need to set up a different login?
