Feedback for v2.6.3

FP5
update from e/os/ 2.5-t official to 2.6.3-t

I was offered the update yesterday, but didn’t apply it at the time. When I tried the updater today, it couldn’t find the update (I checked for the update manually a numer of times). Only after a reboot did the update appear again.

Previous downloads and updates were terribly slow, but this one only took a few minutes :+1:

  • Vendor Name Fairphone
  • Device name FP 4
  • Device CodeName FP4
  • Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously 2.5 community T
  • Not rooted

Upgrade went ok
Issues :
Bliss is crashing when I search an installed app
Apn was wrong for sms, I changed mnc to 10 and it’s ok now
Had to reinstall SNCF app

  • Samsung
  • S10e
  • beyond0lte
  • 2.5-t
  • Not rooted

Update via sideload (after recovery-update and wipe) worked - except for a signature verification failed. But so far everything is working.

What is really annoying, however, is the volume during phone calls. It is far too loud. The volume control is set to minimum. I have also tested it with headphones. Also far too loud. Is there a setting that I have missed?

I didn’t have this problem with 2.5.

Thanks in advance!

I noticed this time and again as well (actually for a long time). However, I vaguely believe I recently noticed that it made a difference whether I (tried to) change the volume with the physical buttons or the volume slider on the screen. While the physical buttons did not achieve a volume reduction (even though the volume slider showed a reduction), changing the volume directly on the slider did work. Not an ideal solution, but at least a workaround is better than no relief at all.

I’m not 100 % sure anymore, but you might want to give it a try next time when you encounter this problem.

Hey! Thank you for your feedback!

Just tested it again. Using both the physical buttons and the sliders… unfortunately it makes no difference. In other words, the adjustment works, but I can’t achieve a volume that doesn’t fill half the room with sound.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that the sound itself seems a bit overdriven.

I just installed the new version e/OS/2.6.3-t-20241217455358-official-FP3 Everything works correctly except Google contacts.

Sorry @Manoj but there is still no release 2.6.3 for the stable version of the Oneplus nord avicii. Has it failed again, can we expect better news for the next version ? Thanks.

A quick follow-up: rebooted my FP4 and now I can hear callers on Signal, on FP4’s speakers.
From logcat contents it looks like that there were issues with the audio system during every call attempt.
A reboot of the smartphone made everything works…
So an advice for FP4 users: after the reboot and install of 2.6.3, maybe a second reboot would be a good idea :slightly_smiling_face:

The official / stable OnePlus Nord avicii build could not be released along with v2.6.3 due to an issue with the recovery. The team is working on a resolution for the problem. Will share an ETA once I get it from the team.

So far, everything’s ok. Google’s Family Link is working again, which it was one of the reasons for updating.

Samsung Galaxy S10 (beyond1lte) SM-G973F(DS) installed and works with v2.6.3-u (/e/OS community beyond1lte download)

  • :question:the only issue observed is with sending sms (mms works when mobile data is enabled, receiving sms works) don’t know if this is related to v2.6.3-u or to 3G/4G

Samsung Galaxy S9 (starlte) SM-G960F (/e/OS community starlte download) has issue after upgrading

  • :white_check_mark:from v2.5-t
  • :question:to v2.6.3-t
    not usable because it appears as the bliss-launcher is not responding and couldn’t find a way to make it work
  • :white_check_mark:works again perfectly after reverting back to v2.5-t
    will wait and try again with the next release

regards

Maybe clearing the storage would have made it work. But I think you are second on with bliss issue (other one was also S9​:thinking::woman_shrugging:)

3 devices updated:

Vendor Name: Murena
Device name: Fairphone4
Device CodeName: FP4
Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously: e-2.5-t-20241108446629-official-FP4
The device is Not rooted

Until now all ok.

My biggest issue with e/Os until now is that when I cross the border to a neighboring country Internet is cut out. I tried all settings possible, but no connection possible.
In any other country than my own I have to rely on Wifi instead of 4G / 5G…
This issue exist already since I started using e/os… I travel 6 to 8 times a year to other EU countries, and this is getting very annoying…

Any suggestion to solve this is appreciated…

Untill now all ok.

Device name: Galaxy S5e
Device CodeName: gts4lvwifi
Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously: e-2.6.3-u-20241218455570-community-gts4lvwifi
The device is Rooted

After the upgrade Several App icons on the main screen disappeared. These were located in 2 different folders. These are nowhere to be found again.

I’m reinstalling these apps 1 by 1 again.

For the rest all seems to be working…

Do not update your Fairphone 4 to 2.6.3 - mine can no longer place phone calls or active the eSIM. See this thread for more information:

please

Alarm sound of FP4 is very loud on the lowest sound level.

for Samsung Galaxy S10 (beyond1lte) SM-G973F(DS) sms-issue turned out to be related to 4G, because when changing SIM ‘Preferred network type’ from 4G to 3G, the sms send starts working.
something related to ims support quirks on samsung devices - 4G vowifi/volte (IP Multimedia Subsystem - Wikipedia)

regards

I sent that in the email that I sent to support.

About what version are you talking ?
community or official ?
“T” or “U” flavor ?
