Hi,
It s my first post here ! Just to confirm that the upgrade from 1.4-q to 1.5-r of the stable branch was done perfectly smoothly on my FP3 !

Thanks to the all e/ murena team. Your job is great and goes beyond my expectations !!

It is my understanding that you plan to make an upgrade to android 12 on FP3/FP3+. Is there.any ETA yet ?
I m not impatient (well maybe a little :wink: !), cause 1.5-r is really great and i m impressed by all the good work you are doing, but just for my knowledge…

Keep it that way, thanks again !

Hi.
On my Murena FairPhone 4, after upgrading 1.4 to 1.5-20221018, I got HTTP 404 errors when sync ecloud shared Caldav calendars (not my personal calendar).

Next I installed /e/ OS version 1.5.1-s20221102231514-stable-FP4.
I always have the sync error and now, the fingerprint reader does not work and I can’t add or delete any fingerprint (trash does nothing and add button disabled).

The device Not rooted.

Fingerprint issue was the same on my FP4. During I tried to delete saved fingerprints settings app freezed. So a restart was necessary. After that deletion was possible and I could save new fingerprints. Now all is working perfect.

My wife had the same issue just after the upgrade, but a simple reboot fixed this…

A part from that, the visual effects when closing applications are strange (uniform color frame around the application instead of the Bliss launcher). But this is a purely cosmetic effect.

Everything works perfectly well! Great work from the dev team! Very happy to run /e/ OS Android 12 on my FP4! :slight_smile:

What a pleasant surprise to have an OTA upgrade to 1.5-s on FP4! Just did the upgrade and everything went smoothly. I didn’t even get the fingerprint problem other users seem to have. Great job to the team and a big thanks!

I updated my OnePlus 6 to /e/OS R and then to /e/OS S. Everything seems to have gone smoothly! However, I have a problem with the EN version of microG: I cannot open the app. Instead, it crashes. I can revert to the non-EN version by going to the App Info, selecting the three dots above and then the menu entry “Deinstall updates”. However, you then lose all your GCM-registered apps.
@Manoj Are any bugs known for the microG version with Exposure Notification? I can try to capture a logcat.
EDIT: The logcat has the following exception:

I have a similar issue, that’s why I am replying to your post, even if my reply does not answer it:

I just updated my FP3+ to latest /e/ OS update (EN language settings). With that update the microG exposure notification seemed to stop working and could not be activated again anymore with the German CoronaWarn App from the app store.
According to the linked docs for Exposure notification, I tried to manually download the latest (stable) version microG APK and install it manually w/o success: The latest version (which I already had installed) could not be downloaded => http “404 ressource not found”. For unknown reason I tried to install the previous version which did exist but (luckily?!?) could not be installed => Message “App not installed”.

Referring to Tentos’ post, I also tried to switch language settings but in my case it does not matter whether language is EN or DE, the exposure notification framework does not work anymore.

Q: Is this a (known) bug?
Q: Any ideas how to deal with that?
Thanks!

Have you try here ?

Fairphone 4, I’ve found a bug (1.5.1-s).

Since latest Android 12 upgrade, I’m unable to rotate a picture. If I rotate a picture (up-side-down) in the gallery, as soon as I click on “Save”, gallery app crashed and the image is not saved.
Same behaviour on my spouse’s FP4 (identical config), so I guess it’s a general bug.

I’ve opened an issue here:

Cheers.

FP4 running 1.6-beta-s-20221109233613-stable-FP4.
I can successfully rotate and then save a picture in gallery app.

179

FP4 picture rotating and saving ok here too.
(1.5.1 s)

180

In my FP4 1.5.1-s-20221102231514-stable, picture rotating and saving ok too, just like with @ff2u and @winkman

181

Thank you. Nice to hear.
From what I’ve just tested, it seems that pics in the internal phone memory can be modified, but not those on the SD card. (almost all my pictures, and those from my wife are stored in the SD card folder). Maybe a lead?

Anyway, I changed the title of the issue to: " Unable to rotate a picture on Fairphone 4 SD card folder"

Workaround: Same task works well without any issue with “Simple gallery” app.

I have updated my

  • stable Murena S9 to 1.5 q OTA. No problems so far.
  • dev Sony Z5 Compact to 1.5 R OTA: no problems so far (my backup device until today, so not much tested)

I newly installed 1.5 S on

  • Samsung Tablet S6 wifi and
  • Samsung S10e

with the following findings:

  1. On both devices there is no LED support and LED options in settings are missing.
  2. ZVV App detects S10e as rooted (checkin ticket is not working)
  3. S6 Bliss launcher has only four app symbols per row, there is more space
  4. S6 Bliss launcher has a line of fixed app symbols on bottom (I don’t use the apps). How to change this?
  5. S10e shows any few seconds location icon in symbols bar, due to acces by Mozillla location provider?. It’s annoying.
  6. Both devices show annoying warnings by Smasung about rooted bootloader. Can this be replaced somehow?

I have updated my FP3 2 weeks ago.
It worked fine apparently since I did not needed to go in the parameter section of my phone until now.
When I open the parameters on my FP3 and select for instance the account section. After 2 seconds, I have a black screen. This black screen can be closed by closing all the app in once. But to what I can see by now, I can not access to my parameters anymore.

I mean when I try to activate the internet (when I click on the symbol with two arrows going in opposite direction) nothing happens anymore. Before, a sign 4G was appearing next to the signal icons. And now nothing, and all my apps requiring 4G don’t work anymore. They do only if I connect to a wifi

I’ve never had this problem myself, but heard others recommending to reset (i.e. setup anew) your APN settings in such situations.
