I upgraded it a while ago and everything was fine, I was not imapacted by the eSim problem.
But since a few days, text messages are not working. I cannot send and cannot receive them.
Also another thing is that when I put my phone on vibration mode, I still have sound for notifications.

Feedback for v2.1

Check whether the SMSC (Short Message Service Center) number the phone uses is correct: Dial *#*#4636#*#* … “Testing” menu appears. Choose “Phone information”. Scroll down to the “SMSC:” input field. It’s not very intuitive territory there. This text field can be empty, and the SMSC the phone uses can be fine nonetheless. First use the “REFRESH” button, this will put the SMSC the phone currently uses into the field, or “refresh error” if there is none. After the phone number of the …

update through recovery on SD-card, basic applications are OK.
but new behavior for next udate, see :

Mise a jour e/os-2.2-s vers 2.3 sur GS290

nouveau ; le GS290 est maintenant à la version e-2.6.3-s, après mises-à-jour faites par recovery avec carte-SD. En regardant : paramètres → applications → toutes → “…” → processus-systeme → gestionnaire de mise à jour → données mobiles et wifi je vois que je peux activer : autoriser-l’accès-au-réseau, données-wifi, données-mobiles (étaient-elles grisées avant ?). alors, le Gestionnaire-de-maj me dit (aujourd’hui) “aucune nouvelle maj disponible” comme attendu. J’at…

or:
new; the GS290 is now at version e-2.6.3-s, after updates via recovery with SD card. Looking at:
settings → applications → all → “…” → process-system → update manager → mobile data and wifi
I see that I can enable: allow-network-access, data-wifi, mobile-data (were they grayed out before?).
Then, the Update-manager tells me (today) “no new update available” as expected. I can’t wait to upgrade to e-2.7
thank you very much to those who helped me explore the dense tree of parameters, and use the “recovery” mode.

After a dirty upgrade via the local update feature things seem to be working fine in the sense of not having encountered new bugs.
I personally don’t like that Bluetooth can no longer be switches on/off with one touch but I understand this is an android 14 feature rather than an eos bug.

Interestingly the reported memory (ram) usage is significantly lower than under T (from an average of 3,5gb ram used to 2,5gb used, even after several days of the phone not having restarted)

Last but not least, thank you very much for your continued work on this project!

So I updated to 2.7-u since I thought it was somehow related to the esim problem but I still had the issue.
So I went to the esim settings and I just checked the “Use 4G for calls” and then I was able to receive and send messages again.

Hi
I’m still waiting a update because i lost my phone with v2.6.3 and my life became very tricky.
As far as I understood the 2.7 version is available. It doesn’t appear on my phone. I suppose it is possible to download it from a PC and install it. Where can i find help to do that?

[jubarbie]

2.7 is not available yet. Only available for people on the test channel

Instructions are on the Gitlab issue if you want to take the testing route.

Update went smoothly. No issues detected so far. Thanks to the team.

I have two Murena FP4s. One got the 2.6.3-u…official-FP4 update through the usual “System updates” method. Everything seems to be working great!

The other FP4 is still running 2.5-t…official-FP4 and says I’m up to date / running the latest version.

Is this a phased rollout? Should I just wait for the 2nd phone to automatically receive it? Or should I do/change something to update the 2nd one? Both are on USA T-Mobile, in case that matters.

When did you get the U update (upgrade) for the first one?

The e/OS/-Team had to stop the OTA OS Upgrade to 2.6.3-u because of an issue with eSim’s. MAybe one of the devices checked the server at the right time…

In v2.6.3 I can’t move app icons to a different position on a page (Fairphone 4). I can drag but no space opens up to drop.

Well, I did not upgrade to 2.6.3, but to 2.6.4-t (not 2.6.4-u), because I’m not yet ready to reinstall (and reconfigure) all.

No issues so far.
Thanks for the update!

I’m still looking for a reliable backup/restore process, maybe this script pkerling/adbrootbackup, could do the job.

There is an persistent error I forgot to report in time, can’t say with which version it appeared, but definitely before 2.6.3: Incoming calls are not immediatly shown on the display, only about after the fifth ring the expected pop-up appears and I can take the call.

Otherwise all good so far.

I don’t remember exactly. Maybe a week ago?

Oh good to know, thanks! Yep, maybe I was just “lucky” with the timing. And that I don’t use an eSIM.

You can try the method that worked in my case:

1. Temporarily move the last 2 applications (bottom right) to an empty page in the launcher. This will free up space on your page.

2. Rearrange your icons as you see fit.

3. Put back one by one the 2 applications you’ve moved to the offending page.

Update went smoothly, I noticed a boost in battery life… except when using GPS.
I only tested extensively using Organic Maps. There I noticed the system is slow at determinig precisely where I am (easily searching for 30s in open area), and quickly loses track of my location when I move (biking, so even reasonably “slow”).
This also goes along with super high battery consumption. This afternoon I tested more extensively, and could drain ~50% of the battery within <20min.

using v2.5 and exactly the same version of program everything was working as expected (GPS would lock within seconds and I could actually use it for hours using the same app.
