Feedback for v2.3

Same mirror issues noted above with the Updater app.

Otherwise, phone is working like a dream. Snappy and smooth UI.

As ever, thank you to everyone involved in the project.

Google Pixel 5 Redfin

KO for my Pixel5 (purchased in /e/-shop) not rooted.
It was upgraded with 2.3-t stable release (updated from 2.2 to 2.3 (2.3-t-20240816426372-stable-redfin) with e_redfin-user 13 TQ3A.230901.001 eng.root.20240816.174427).

the upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 took only 45 mn with 1 reboot.
The Seek (iNalturalist) app cannot find any position with Wifi. It seems to work only with data on.

The camera issue blur (described here or there ) is still here : when I take a picture with lens1 the final picture is blurry when I’m in “manual” mode.

Not Rooted

… all well so far
One minor issue: in 2.3 Bliss Launcher crashed once after cleaning cache of all apps and restart of phone … but has not done so again since another reboot.
(I only mention this because it is the first time I experience a crash of Bliss)

Thanks a lot for keeping that hardware alive! :+1:

Everything OK.
SaftyNet still can not be passed. It was passing on S versions and fails on T versions as reported in separate post.Please rename kernel to not containe “lineageOS” to be able to pass.

Hi

I write on behalf of my wifes FP5, bought from Murena.

The update process was not smooth. The download of the update went very slow and did crash over and over again. Finally I did download the .zip file and installed it.
The issue now is, that the webdav accounts on my internal network are not working anymore. It says no connection possible and too many logins. So I did delete the accounts and now I am not able to set them up again. Error: no carddav or caldav service recognized. Guess I have to reinstall 2.2 stable with the annoying reboots.

My FP4 works without any problems, so it is a FP5 issue.

The phone has suffered these reboots from when it was brand new. I doubt clutter is the issue.

Even worse, it just happened again but in a worse way: Before the Murena logo, this time I got a bootloader requiring me to ‘pick a boot option’ - chose fast boot…

seriously… 800 euro phone :-/.

That is more than annoying! I can only tell you what I would try: Update to 2.3 - and then do a complete factory reset. Then set up the mobile phone again. If these reboots still occur, there is definitely something wrong with the hardware!

I also have a Murena FP5 and used to have these resets, sometimes several times a day. But not anymore, after I did a factory reset on V.2, as I reported.

Updated to 2.3 smoothly. No issues so far. Many thanks to the dev team

Does anybody know, where I can find the 2.2 s version for the fp5? I need to go back to a functioning version.
Info: on 2.3 the service recognition (webdav) does not work.
I did download davx5 to try to create carddav and caldav accounts. But there the same issue like in the systemapp accountmanager.

Works very well,
Thanks!

Did you install the 2.3 update from August 16 or from August 20? The August 16 version is reported to have issues (beyond the ‘usual’ reboot issue), as can be read in the above comments.

Too early to comment on that. My FP5 on 2.2 did reboot several times a day. Will see how 2.3 works.

Thank you for your time and answer! I did install the update from the 20. Aug. So this is not the case.

stable/official: /e/OS stable FP5 download
dev/community: /e/OS dev FP5 download

Here’s how to find out what you are running … [HOWTO] Give complete /e/OS version info easily for support, answers, comparison etc

Reverting to an older version means to install the older version from scratch. User data will be wiped.

Thank you for providing this information about the wiki (how to)! So I will not go back to the version 2.2 because of losing user data.

Is the device Rooted / Not rooted : Not rooted

Update was ok but there are (still) some things that dont work or are missing:

  • Its not possible to record videos with more then 30FPS because the file is corrupted - recording stutters
  • Eco Charge is still missing (and maybe limiting charge state)
  • Chromecast does not work (MicroG crashes) but that could be a Google thing
  • Changing the USB behavior if connected to PC - No quick panel to change this, only if USB debugging is enabled (also only changeable if USB debugging is enabled and if disabled, then only for some time, then you cannot change it again)
  • Since 2.1 after some weeks the foundation.e.blisslauncher drains a lot of energy, this starts randomly

App related issues:

  • Techniker Krankenkasse - No login with biometric possible because of missing Playstore
  • Tomorrow - “Its not possible to scan IBAN because device does not support it” (issue with camera?)
  • REWE - Searching for current location crashes the App

As previously reported for 2.2:

  • GCam apps do not work, barcode scanner does not work
  • Calendar notifications are not showing up with default calendar, but work in google calendar

Very dissappointing, that previously working things are not fixed with the next release…

Is the device Rooted / Not rooted: ?

After e/OS 2.0 + e/OS 2.1 + e/OS 2.2 → i installed e/OS 2.3-t → still Random crashes to bootanimation + back to lockscreen!

Isn’t the FP5 one of the most important mobile phones for Murena? Fairphone supports Murena out of the box, and the e/OS on FP5 hasn’t been working properly .
I am disappointed, still no solution after so long :frowning:
