I’m somewhere between impressed and grateful.
My FP2 updated absolutely smoothly and received once more an extention of its life span.
Thanks a bunch to all contributors!
For users reporting issues with 2 button navigation, suggest you enable telemetry Settings >>System >> Developer Options >> Enable /e/OS Telemetry
and create an issue in Gitlab with the details and logs
BTW, how does those telemetry works to link it to an existing bug ? Should I add the Sentry User Id to my tickets or should I extract a way or another the data before adding it to the bug report ?
See? A new version is good, and I will applaud /e/OS for still building for FP2, but when it comes to security you gain next to nothing in terms of life span anymore this way, FP2 will be stuck on this level because Android 11 (R) doesn’t get security updates anymore and FP2 can’t be upgraded to Android 12 (S) or further for technical reasons.
I guess your best bet now if you really want to extend the life span of a Fairphone 2 connected to the internet in a possibly halfway responsible manner would be he and his project which shall not be named around here, but backports new security patches to older Android versions, if possible … unobtrusive link .
Vendor: /e/
Device: Fairphone 3+
Previous eOS: 1.92.xxxx (can’t truly remember but it was the update available prior to v2.0)
Not rooted.
I have several screens of apps and some icons have changed to a different location on their respective screens. Not a major issue. For me however the biggest bugbear is having notification/warning number 1’s against 3 apps. LibreAV, Yet Another Call Blocker, and KDE Connect. There is nothing showing as a probable issue with these apps unless it is meant to infer a compatibility issue with v2.0. Just found another minor issue, 2 icons for TuxPaint.

Update went smoothly, no issue so far. I must faithfully say that I was not a big fan of Bliss (I was using Ruthless launcher) but with the new Bliss release I give it a try, and I’m thinking I’ll keep it
The Seek app pbm (see here) is back.
Additionally, the Maps app has some pbms to update location with WIFI and maybe also with DATA. the operation succeeds 1 out of 5 times with manual refreshing and not automatically. Often I have to restart the phone for the location to change.
I think there is a pbm with advanced location/privacy[1]/GPS.
[1] In the Seek app, the location jumps from one city to another.
Same problem here : Updated the phone through the system settings (updater) ; the phone only boots into Fastboot after the update.

Any idea how to solve the problem, ideally without erasing the phone data? I have not much technical skills.

OTA smooth and unproblematic. The old machine runs like a racehorse.
The new BlissLouncher v3.0.1-beta with new wallpaper is integrated.

Update 2.0 done on FP4 Stable.
Everything seems to work pretty well.
The launcher icons need to be rearranged, as it now has 6 icons vertically (still 4 horizontally).
Warning: The Telegram Foss icon permanently shows me 1 unread message (small 1 in green on the app icon) because of the permanent notification at the very top next to the time. This wasn’t the case before.
To remove this: Long press on the Telegram notification (on the notification bar) => Settings => click on the blinking field => click on the middle of the line => deactivate “show the notification tab”.
Once those steps done all’s well. I like the new icons.
