Super good @Manoj this way of asking feedback from the community on a new version!
FP3
Fairphone 3+
previous: OS 1.7
now: 1.9-s-20230310268290-stable-FP3
Not rooted (I'm not 100% sure. Bought it pre installed from your website.)
Issue: I have JBL Live Pro 2 TWS bluethooth ANC headphones which since the update don't work as a headset anymore. I can use them as headphones but the microphone is not registered. The phone microphone is used.
Apart from that everything seems to work fine. Initially the fingerprint sensor didn’t work. But after a reboot it works.

Vendor: Samsung
Device: Galaxy S 8 Referbished from the Murena Shop
Device codename: SM-G950F
E version: 1.8.1-20230204257076-dreamlte
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S8. I don’t know if it’s a problem with the software or the hardware. I haven’t tracked it exactly, but I think it applies to pretty much all apps that freeze regularly. It then takes a while before I can use the apps. Do others with a samsung galaxy S8 also suffer from this?

The feedback is: wow! It really upgraded from /e/OS 1.8-r to /e/OS 1.9-s !!
I believed that the warning in the System-upgrade was a mistake, since I believed that Upgrades from one Android base (11) oder another (12) was only possible via a manual installation and not OTA.
Now all things I have tested work so far.
The new UI is “gewöhnungsbedürftig” but I will adapt.
Am I missing anything? Do I still need to upgrade to 1.9-s manually?
Keep up the good work!

Upgrade to 1.9 worked well so far. The only issue was, the fingerprint sensor did not work anymore. Not for unlocking the device, and not to log into banking app or password storage app. Going to Settings - Security - Fingerprints showed, that there are two fingers set up, but I could not add a new finger (function was only displayed in a very light grey color). After some headache while trying to remember the PIN for banking app, it suddenly started working by itself. Seems fine now. This is a Fairphone 3+

rooted, I think? (as in I can use adb root)
Update not showing up in OTA (says no updates available).
Am I understanding it correctly that only S is supported and there will be no 1.9-r for the FP3? And since I am on a dev build I cannot use the OTA updater?
Also, no S build is currently available on the public download sites although they are linked in the build descriptions → https://images.ecloud.global/dev/FP3/ (same for stable)
The FP3 /e/OS S builds for dev and stable channels will be released early next week. Most probably it will be tagged v1.9.1

It is announced that this will be the case somewhen, if not now …
@Manoj: Will there be 1.9-r builds for FP3 or is FP3 only receiving S builds going forward?
Correct.
OTA upgrades to new major Android versions so far are only available on stable builds, if at all (will have to be prepared by developers per device per upgrade step, announced in https://community.e.foundation/tag/development-updates).

Awesome, thanks. Next time might be better to hold off updating the device info pages until the version is actually released. Current situation is confusing to new & existing users.
For all devices, we will now be supporting only one build on the latest OS version available. Which means if there are Q, R, S builds at present only the S will be supported and maintained.

Thank for reply. I have installed Open Camera for now.
I have found out that syncing works on 1.9.
Hello, Since I upgraded from 1.8.? to 1.9.1 (/e/os 1.9.1-s-20230405276851-stable-FP3), the fingerprint reader is unavailable.
I cannot create new fingerprint data, I cannot select it for unlock screen, and nothing happens when I use it.
Thank you for your time
It has been reported that a reboot can help.

When I click 1 in the contacts app (see picture), the browser now opens with google.com. This was not the case in Android 11 (v 1.8) and earlier.
If I click on 2 (see picture), I can select the desired navigation app.
I find that a pity on a “de-googled” phone.
Does anyone know how I can deactivate the link to Google again?

I can partially reproduce this issue mentioned by @columcille but only with a contact which I created via Maps. The google link appears to me to have been created by Maps to provide location information.
Regression / similar to
- https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/1563
- Address from contact, if opened with Browser, opens Google Maps
A workaround is to ensure that such link is always opened by Magic Earth.

Usually after one or two reboots it works again
