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?
The progress of OTA Android version Upgrade for certain devices and certain build types is shown in the section " OS OTA upgrades" of Development Updates
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+
Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously
1.8.1-r-20230206257804-dev-FP3
Is the device Rooted / Not rooted
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)
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.
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.

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.
Hello now I could update my Samsung galaxy s10+ with the v1.9 S manually (still don’t know how it works to upgrade the recovery too).
now the only thing that surprised me is the new design of the the OS.
Especially, I find the new design of the taskbar above not that quite smart.
Huge bubbles as buttons (take more place), and should tap much more to activate wifi/internet, the direct access to the bluetooth hw list disappears.
The notification area use the whole display. And for notifications to display is not that logic, done in 2 steps: swish from top to bottom, then bottom to top. More complex and illogical as before. why ?
i’m not so fine about this new ux-experiences.
Would like to have the old taskbar one (with the new os).
Is that possible to have this taskbar or notification panel (don’t know exactly the name of it sorry) like the one in 1.8? which options could it be?
Because Google apparently liked it this way and introduced these changes in the Android 12 (S) base, from which all stock OS vendors and custom ROM communities make their Android 12.
The name is “Quick Settings”, and you would have had the same look already if you would have been on Android 12 (S) with /e/OS 1.8. It’s not the /e/OS version that’s responsible, it’s the underlying Android version.
There are ways to customise this menu in the way you like. I saw mentions of “AOSP Mods” and “Power Shade”, but I have no experience with either.
(I use the Quick Settings menu so rarely that after adding the seperated Wi-Fi and Mobile data toggles back to the menu I decided to not bother any more.)
How can I ensure that such a link is always opened by Magic Earth or another navigation app? It seems to me that I don’t have any choice: the arrow just opens in the browser.
