Feedback for v4.3

The testing channel will very often publish “final”. Only commenting as reports like this trigger “why don’t I get it?” from others.

That ‘s a test build :

Don’t know where you get this from, because it’s not offered from any source:

OTA update yesterday. The builds are staggered so not everyone gets it at the same time - I assume to avoid overloading the servers. Interim test builds either have the word “beta” or “RC” in their version info.

Check your Settings → System → Developer options → Connect to /e/OS test channel

Is this enabled?

As far as I know by device not region.

Glad to hear that one problem resolved.

Others may wonder “where is my e-4.3?”

This is a declared Testing build.

Edit, to answer reply below. That is, Testing channel, “final”. Warning already given on that thread.

Yes, I saw that, but now they’ve disappeared again from both the test channel and the official channel. Very strage this :thinking:

Oh dear, I just updated my FP6 to 4.3.
Let’s see what the reason is for pulling back the update.

Try a call via Whatsapp or Signal and check if you hear Mickey Mouse.

Everything working fine, no chipmunk audio on calls. The wifi issue seems to be resolved. Thanks so much for the update and all the work!

I confirm the same issue on my FP4

Bug already submitted a few weeks ago:

I am happy to help troubleshooting and testing

Download took more than 2h, which is way more than usual for me (via 5G unlimited data / data speed). Installation and reboot was, on an other hand, very fast (few minutes).

I still experiencing the same download issue for Apps in AppLounge, where I’m unable to update the apps via my network provider but only via WiFi.

Edit : I’m able to download a new App, but again, updating an existing app remains impossible.

I can confirm the slow download speeds for both FP3 official and FP6 official. DL speeds seemed to hit a ceiling at 500 kB/s (right now they are reaching 1 MB/s). – In the Updater, these would not be offered at all yet.

Surprisingly, FP3 official is available (see above) before FP3 community, making me wonder if it’s a writing on the wall (the long-announced start of retiring FP3-community?) – which also made me a bit reckless and add another chapter to my :warning: What wiser ones warned you against adventures. I was able to go from e-4.2-a15-20260816663281-community-FP3 to e-4.3-a15-20260917677554-official-FP3 in one go.

LOCAL UPDATE did NOT work.

Manual installation of the same file through the /e/ RECOVERY was eventually SUCCESSFUL. To get there, I had to accept a signature verification error.

P.S.: The bootloader on this device is unlocked.

Update did not show yet in the Updater, but succeeded via local update.

I tried to update but the download got stuck and after canceling the download I don’t see the update anymore in the Updater. Any idea why and how I can download it again?
