Goodbye as a paying customer

Dear all,

Since the outage in October my cloud syncing has not been functioning.
I don’t know why, because the customer support - however friendly they are -, don’t really offer any support. I have reached out to them on June 2nd, but even though I got some replies, it seems they never really read what I wrote in the first place.

Also, I have not been able to download the murena recovery file.

Now, it is time for me, too, to say goodbye as a paying customer, and look for alternatives. Because yes, I was one of those people who actively used the cloud services as a paying customer. Partly because I wanted to support your amazing project (on top of ordering devices from your webshop), partly because it was very practical. But since the outage it has been a nightmare, and I have lost my trust it will function any time soon.

I understand your customer support might have been overwhelmed and understaffed, so I have been patient. But this is no longer working for me.

Perhaps it is worth to consider a premium customer service for paying customers?
I would not have mind to pay a bit extra and have something functioning in return.

Tomorrow it is exactly 9 months since the outage happened. Apparently it is easier (and less painful) to deliver a baby than to fix a proper cloud service.

Hi Bram,

I have quit as well because of the outage. I relied on nextcloud an passwords and got in trouble at work because of it. As a Fairphone 4 user it was relatively easy to install the stock Android version. I have enjoyed “Googling” for a while, however, my phone turned into a marketing machine rather quickly. I started to regret my decision after a few months and believe me I have tried.
So, now I’m back and sincerely hope no more outages the like the one in October occurs.

Bottom line is I understand your decision and just wanted to comment. Best of luck!

Thanks. Have passed it to the helpdesk team to respond. Due to the high volume of requests the helpdesk has a 5-10 day response wait period.

Thanks @Manoj !

Manoj does make e difference for me regarding Murena (but I don’t see/read about other stuff so I can’t grasp what is happening in the background)

I left /e/os official becouse it wasn’t working well on my CMF Phone 1. So i flashed Nothing OS 3 and my phone now is another phone, in a better way. Sadly…
