  • Vendor Name: Samsung
  • Device name: Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Wifi
  • Device CodeName: gta4xlwifi
  • Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously: 2.5
  • Is the device Not rooted

After a few failed attempts I got the upgrade installed by

heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery-e-2.6.3-u-20241217455391-community-gta4xlwifi.img --no-reboot

factory reset as described in the install manual

adb sideload e-2.6.3-u-20241217455391-community-gta4xlwifi.zip

The sideload complained about signature failed to be verified. I chose to install anyway and it worked afterwards.

Cannot create account at gitlab (email domains not allowed), therefore I post the bug report here:

DNS broken when wireguard VPN is enabled

  • /e/ version: 2.6.3-u-20241217455359-official-FP4
  • Device model(s): Fairphone 4
  • Developer mode enabled: yes
  • Device rooted: no
  • Trackers blocker enabled: yes

The problem

DNS is not resolving when wireguard VPN is enabled

Steps to reproduce

  • upgrade to 2.6.3
  • enable wireguard VPN
  • try to resolve a non cached domain name, e.g. accessing a previously unaccessed webpace

What is the current behavior?
DNS fails to resolve

What is the expected correct behavior?
DNS should resolve

Solutions

Workaround
disable wireguard to resolve IP, then enable it again

At the moment I would not recommend Fossify Launcher because there are several bugs concerning widgets etc. (see Issues Ā· FossifyOrg/Launcher Ā· GitHub for details). I switched to Lawnchair which you can get via the f-droid repo of IzzyOnDroid: Lawnchair - IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository Lawnchair has similar features.

Hello,

I have just upgraded my POCO F3 (global) to version 2.6.3, but I still canā€™t add a google account or retrieve my emails

I always get the following message
ā€œThis application is blocked
This application has attempted to access sensitive information in your Google Account. Google has blocked this access in order to protect your account.ā€ (error message translated from French)

I thought that version 2.6.3 fixed this problem?

(For information, I got round the problem for the calendar by using DavX)

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Updated from previous offcial version
Version of /e/OS: 2.6.3-t 20241217455358 official fp5
Device: Not Rooted

Updated my FP5 OTA and everything works except the fingerprint recognition from the home screen. Opening it with the Passkey works luckily.

I removed all fingerprints and added them again. No luck.
Fingerprints are also not recognized in apps.

Working fine here, also running 2.6.3U.

  • Vendor Name: Samsung
  • Device name: Galaxy Tab S5e Wifi
  • Device CodeName: gts4lvwifi
  • Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously: 2.5-t-community
  • The device is Not rooted

Dirty upgrade by booting into existing recovery and sideloading the image without any wiping worked.

Only issue I see: in the keyboard the popup character selector is a little bit missalingend. Same applies for Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.

I could narrow it done more: DNS does work in brave browser, however it does not work in most apps.
Iā€™ve tried 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8 and 9.9.9.9 as DNS servers in the wireguard config. None of them make DNS work in apps other than the brave browser

No audio from any of smartphoneā€™s speakers with Signal 7.28.4 on an FP4, during a call.
Smartphoneā€™s microphone works - caller can hear me - without the BT headset connection.
BT headset works in both directions.
Ticket created.

  • Vendor Name: Samsung
  • Device name: S5e
  • Device CodeName: gts4lvwifi
  • Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously: LOS 21, but installed from scratch
  • Is the device Rooted / Not rooted: Not Rooted

Stucks in first run wizard - see this topic.

Previously installed LOS 21, what means no rollback to 2.5 possible.

Everything fine on Pixel 5 redfin after update from 2.5-t to 2.6-t.
The confusion about the Android 14 update was unnecessary, though.
Thanks anyway

185

What do you mean by that ?
DeepL-translator didnā€™t help me to understandā€¦

186

Updated from 2.5 to 2.6.3-U on Google pixel 7a lynx, unrooted, without any trouble.

At startup, my mobile data was disabled, and it took me a while to understand why I wasnā€™t getting any mobile data. It was easy to enable it back through the settings.

Nothing else to report, except my satisfaction :vulcan_salute:

Hi tomib,
LEGEND!!! Got it thanks to your link :slight_smile: While it hasnā€™t fixed my Note 9; it has made it a lot more usable. Thereā€™s still next to nothing showing on the home screen; but I can swipe up and get access to most of what was on my phone prior to to e OS V26ā€¦

Thanks heaps for your help.

Merry Christmas, and all the very best for the New Year. :slight_smile:

Hi everyone !

I installed the latest /e/ 2.6.3 on my Samsung S5e using odin4 on Linux and adb sideload (refered to this topic).

On first boot I followed the wizard connecting the wifi, but this this happend:

Getting your tablet readyā€¦
This may take a few minutes

Slow connection
Try another network. ā€¦

I switched to ā€œSet up offlineā€

Just a secā€¦

and this ccreen re-appears constantly without any progress (stuck).

My wifi works fine with any other device and the Internet-Connection is a 300Mbit/s fibre-connection.

I tried it 3 times and always with the same result.

Whatā€™s wrong ?

LineageOS 21 works fine on the device.

Greetings

Michael
