Feedback for v3.2

[Hase]

Hey @jarastartalek

It is not important for me if I have 48 MP.

for me it is important that the camera and video works and in my opinion makes great pictures and videos in full 4k.

I am very happy with the quality.

everyone has different priorities

[mihi]

• Vendor Name: Fairphone
• Device name: The Fairphone (Gen 6.)
• Device CodeName: FP6
• Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously a15-3.1.4-community
• Is the device Rooted / Not rooted: Not rooted

First impression I have is, the OS uses 32 GB of storage

I’m still on 3.1.4 on FP6, and it also shows 32 GB of storage for Android 15

[Dezorian]

im on FP6 Official 3.1.4-Official but my updater says “no new updates found”. Manual refresh doesn’t work. Do I have to do something different this time to get the update?

[Zok]

Vendor XIAOMI

Device REDMI K60 

Device MONDRIAN

Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously 3.2 BETA 2

Is the device Rooted / Not rooted NOT ROOTED

*My model is 23013RK75C (K60) previously flashed with global rom, and not 23013PC75G (POCO F5 PRO)

Everything seems to be working fine, and thanks for your work!

(Side notes)
I think I messed up the partition for whatever (likely due to constant use of outdated version of TWRP).
I had to use TWRP since before though this time, I could not update either from OTA, E recovery or TWRP.
-OTA would just stop with error (no detail given)
-E recovery would give error such as “Error applying update: 7 (kInstallDeviceOpenError)”
-TWRP would ask me to switch slot A to B, and usually switching to B would make it work, except for this time, no veil (it just froze and restart TWRP).
So I searched around and tried “fastboot wipe-super super_empty.img” - seems to have done the job.
Now I can adb sideload from E recovery no problem that I could update from beta 2 to this version; and I guess I should be able to use OTA next time.

*Just my side rant about searching for solution through searches -
Since search engines have become sh**t, took a long time to find this solution.
About this specific error, common suggestion would be switching USB port, cable, reboot or some crap, but it did nothing.
Also I tried flashing recovery into both slot A & B, ending up almost bricking my phone.

so far official 3.2 is not released yet, you need to wait a few days

[Dezorian]

Are you sure? Quote from the releases page: “We are proud to deliver /e/OS version 3.2 for all supported devices, whether they are on an Official or Community build.
Enjoy all the new features and improvements it embeds!”

Yeah, the release itself (software finished) is there, but not all builds yet. It’s a staggered release, so that they are able to catch some last-minute regressions.

Week 44, 2025: Development and Testing Updates

The v3.2 release has started. It is a staggered release as always. We would release builds for a couple of devices (selected randomly) every day. Release dates are from 28 Oct to 3 Nov. For those who are new to /e/OS the reason behind the staggered releases: We prefer to publish a small subset of builds as the number of devices supported is 200 +. Releasing all of them at the same time would overwhelm the servers, besides impact download speeds. It also gives us an opportunity, based on use…

Week 44, 2025: Development and Testing Updates

As a practice we release Official builds a couple of days after the Community build has rolled out. This is to check for any inconsistencies that QA may have missed in the testing process. And yes, the official build will also be released in the same mentioned timeline.

/e/OS official FP6 download

You can check here if you wanna have it as fast as possible, after seeing it here, when you try to update via updater, smash that refresh button more than 5 times.

• Vendor Name: Xiaomi

• Device name: Poco X3 Pro

• Device CodeName: vayu

• Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously: 3.1.4-t-20250919528048-community-vayu

• Is the device Rooted / Not rooted: Rooted

Update failed with a file not found error at recovery stage but I didn’t capture it - is this accessible from the OS?

I tried twice with the same result and it’s now not available to download again.

I’m struggling to retrieve the log over adb so this is a picture of the error:

[aibd]

@simongreenwood

not available to download again

Please try Clear storage (not just cache alone) in the Updater app.

FYI: Updates for

• FP3
• FP4 and
• FP5

are now available.

[Fairphoner]

From the weekly 44 thread:

Location broken on FP3 fix coming with v3.3

So the location is broken on the FP3?

[M.Witte]

• Vendor Name: Murena

• Device name: Fairphone 5

• Device CodeName: FP5

• Version of /e/OS: e/OS-t-3.14-official

• Is the device Not rooted

I got the OTA version upgrade to a15 with 3.2! Great!

The bug in the selection of mobile network has been corrected as well. (FP5 no selection of mobile network (#8356) · Issues · e / Backlog · GitLab)

Everything seems to be working fine.

Big thanks to the team, great job!

Updated from 3.1-t to 3.2-t on FP3.

Does anyone know a way how to remove this permanent Advanced Privacy notification? The first question of my girl was “What is this … advanced … thing? And why is it there?”

Under Settings | Notifications | App settings the switch for Advanced Privacy is grayed. Why???

Note: Such permanent informations are indeed completely useless and wasted space. I told this also the Molly guys and others. Nobody needs to know all the time that everything is normal, the user must be informed when something is not normal, especially when he or she must manually solve this problem.

If 100 app developers would get this idea to implement this in their 137 apps it would really be great.

[onestacked]

I just got the 3.2 Update for FP6 (Haven’t installed it yet), so if you still don’t see it you can try refreshing on the updater about 5-10 times.

[irrlicht]

Ah, I’m a hero. You can

• open the Notifications area so that you see the notification
• tap on it and hold it, wait until it expands
• then there’s a blue entry in the lower left corner: deactivate notifications
• tap on it
• confirm any questions

and it’s gone for ever …

[urs_lesse]

Updated, three out of all four official builds now available for Fairphones:

@urs_lesse

/e/OS community FP3 download or /e/OS official FP3 download
/e/OS community FP4 download or /e/OS official FP4 download
/e/OS community FP5 download or /e/OS official FP5 download
/e/OS community FP6 download or /e/OS official FP6 download

Minor observation after my own 3.2 (community FP3) installation: The temporary screen orientation button had recently appeared on the (unexpected) other end of the screen. This seems to have been fixed with 3.2, the button now appears again where I am used to find it.

[mihi]

I was able to turn of notifications on FP6 a15-3.2.

Got the OTA update but the download is really really slow, failed to download. Internet is fine otherwise. Quite odd, I know the updates are pushed out at intervals to stop server overload but seems to taking forever and havin to resume the download after a few minutes, for it to fail a few minutes later. Been about an hour and I’m only half way through lol
