Feedback for v2.4

Vendor name: Fairphone
Device name: Fairphone 4
Version of /e/OS which existed previously: 2.3-t

My FP4 now has a worn display in the place where I constantly had to click on Resume the download :rofl: but eventually, it made it on my phone and everything is working smoothly so far - big thx again to the team!

However, I’m still suffering from the following issues:

Not a carrier issue, but since updating to 2.4 registered contacts get engaged tone. Now having to revert to old 1+ 3T! Not a happy bunny!

Tried removing SIM, reinserted, held power for 10 seconds during power up based on similar issue with someone with a fizz account. Put SIM in old phone and no issues with voice calls. Any other suggestions?
I had been using Yet Anorher Call Blocker. Removed it in case it was a flaw. All family contacts who try to ring me get line busy.

Not rooted
Updated from 2.3

Solved by dropping voice calls to 3G!

This probably wasnt the issue of your display. I had the same problem and my Display is working fine. After a couple of tries it downloaded over a couple of hours (because of the overloaded servers).

My updated FP4 works smoothly :slight_smile:

Redmi Note 9s, miatoll, previously 2.3-t. not rooted.

The update introduced two significant issues (possibly related):

1.App lounge will not load in anonymous mode (I receive the error message: unable to resolve host). I therefore cannot install new aps.

  1. My banking app (bunq) doesn’t work anymore (stuck at loading screen).

Any tips on how to resolve these issues would be much appreciated

Managed to update after some issues with the download, as others have mentioned.
So far so good, no random restarts. The Fairphone camera app is a nice addition, it’d be great if we could disable the opencamera fork (as well as other built-in apps).

As for me, everything is working quite well, except for the screen refresh issue on the Fairphone 5 (already reported here). When you choose 90Hz, as soon as you lock the phone, the display becomes extremely choppy. The workaround is to stay at 60Hz for now.

Furthermore, in the new camera app (edited by Fairphone), in very low light situations, the following message appears: “Keep your device steady during auto night,” and at the moment of taking the picture, the app returns an error: “Unable to connect to the camera.” This only happens in auto night mode.

One last small thing with this new camera app: the screen brightness goes to maximum when the app is in use, which is quite distracting (and not very useful).

Everything else is very smooth and stable :slight_smile:

I was able to download and install the update today. Unfortunately I keep getting a “Your login/password is incorrect, please login again” error notification.

EDIT: Have 2 factor on, so I had to use an app password to log in. All good now.

Try updating recovery ONLY beforehand
I have had exactly same issue on S10+ few releases ago

Hi, does anybody here uses FP5 with nextcloud contacts / calender and is this 2.4 version working ? (The previous version had problems)

You can. Uninstall default apps - #29 by AnotherElk

Fairphone 5 Murena , version 2.4 e/os .

The screen print is black, the image is completely black.

More simply the screen print is not working properly.

Vendor: Murena
Device: Teracube 2E
Code Name: Emerald
Version of /e/OS previously: 2.3 stable
The device is: Not rooted

OTA update went smoothly, no problems detected.

Bliss crash with enabled 90hz was not fixed, it’s now worse and at the same level like a year ago. Device forgets “smooth display” setting after every screen lock and gets unstable/choppy until you deactivate 90hz again.

Annoying. Until now you could use 90hz and live with a crash a week, but now 90hz doesn’t work at all.

Look, I made a gitlab issue 10 month ago. Full cycle…

Please let’s use the AOSP launcher because the iOS copy launcher it comes with is objectively worse than the one it tries to copy.

By all means … Launcher3 version 1.0 is available from F-Droid or App Lounge com.android.launcher3.

If you install it be sure to set it as the default Home app in Settings > Apps > Default apps, but I believe it is unwise to uninstall Bliss.

I understand you want to help, but Launcher3 from F-Droid is a decade old at this point.

After first boot after applying the update, the Fairphone Camera app showed as installed. After about a minute it was removed. This was confusing.

Vendor Name: Gigaset
Device Name: GS290

Version of /e/OS which existed: 2.3-s
Current Version of /e/OS: 2.4-s

Everything is working fine.
Thanks!

Murena are invested in their own Bliss launcher, it’s an important part of their /e/OS concept, for anybody giving feedback disliking it there’s anybody else giving feedback liking it, so it’s not very likely they’ll abandon it anytime soon just because there are other launchers out there any given user might like more.

Just install a different launcher of your choice :person_shrugging: .

Then install a more recent launcher of your choice :person_shrugging: .
There are topics discussing different launchers and their pros and cons in the forum.
