I tried to updgrade but the upgrader does not show any recent update.
I tried to follow the following recommandations poster ealier here
“since version 1.14, a few users have reported a crash with the system Updater whenever they try to open it. In that case, they won’t get notified of the next OTA system update. To solve this problem users need to: go to Settings > Apps > See all apps > 3 dot menu > Show system > Updater > Storage & cache Tap on Clear storage and validate Go to Settings > Updater Tap on the refresh arrow And voila! 1.15 should appear among the available updates!”
It did not help and the last version I see is from 2020
Is there another way to get the updates ? If not, is there a tuto to back up and flash in order to updgrade a fix this internet issue ?
But since you are on Android 10 (Q) and stable, I would perhaps wait if something comes up to either solve this failure to upgrade or at least explain it.
Are you on a Wi-Fi internet connection when you try to find updates?
Do you use any Antivirus or Firewall App you could deactivate to see whether they were blocking the updater?
@Manoj: 0.12-q-2020111084009-stable-FP3 should still be OTA upgradable in theory, right?
If nothing helpful comes up otherwise … There is a method to update in recovery mode to a newer version within the same underlying Android version without wiping data, in effect emulating what the updater should do, but this isn’t officially recommended or documented, and backing up everything important from the phone to somewhere safe beforehand should be done before trying this, too.
I don’t know whether everything was in place for this already with the 0.12 recovery, but if you want to try and find out and have no fear of the command line, perhaps open a new topic to be walked through this.
The idea would be to get to 1.4-q-20220920220045-stable-FP3 this way and see whether the updater can upgrade by itself from there.
If you follow that tutorial you will install FaiphoneOS not /e/OS.
The way to install /e/OS is by means of a script delivered with the ROM. The script uses a fastboot method. The tutorial at the end of my last post describes how it works.
The /e/OS device page is https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP3, the Command line install page is linked from it. You will see that Easy Installer is an option too,.
I think you would need a good reason of your own not to choose the latest build; so Android 13 (T).
The main thing to fix in your mind is if you plan to install Official / stable, with OTA Android version upgrade to look forward to or the Community / dev build. The different build types are described https://doc.e.foundation/build-status
so my phone still transfers data normally but it always shows the “x” for both wifi and mobile data and says “no internet”. I wouldn’t care but this sadly affects the functionality, some apps don’t even try to run and tell me to get internet connection (e.g. spotify), same thing for synchronization of e-account data (e.g. calendar)
You will notice @sex that this thread has a “get you home” solution from https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/7975 … and Post #69
You will also notice that affected users seem to have an older build and an Upgrade to latest for your phone is the likely best long term fix.
@AnotherElk, Fairphone OS former users are fossils like me, that lived in the times of Fairphone 1, then 2, then… (we are at model 6 now IIRC) : please don’t talk badly of fossils
For me the easiest solution was to tap on each field and then select the default option that the app suggests. This got things working, but i do not know how good - or private - these settings are.
In one of the other threads on this topic @tcecyk suggested 3 murena servers. I got those working by trial and error, but do not really know if what i did was in any way sensible either.
I think we, the users with problems, need to be better at not starting new threads, rather first checking thoroughly to see if anyone else has already asked a similar problem. Then people do not need to repeat the answers again and again and there will be a complete, definitive thread with all the info in one place.
Here are the settings i guessed at with the murena servers:
@4nthony looks good. Order of servers doesn’t matter as they’re supposed to behave the same way - and all hosts can do both protocols. just that you use https where it is a https variable.
Hello,
I use eos based on android 8.1.0.
recently i got the info from my browser, that i have no internet connection. however i can surf.
app store: no connection possible at all. wifi connected: also no internet connection, but i have internet connection.
i think i know the reason: the server where eos is asking if there is internet connection was shut down or changed the ip or something.
where can i change the server that is asked if i have an internet connection or not?
i do not wan to be forced to update. how long the update will work? until someone wants me to update again? somewhere must be written the server that is contacted to check the internet connection. this server ip i must change and thats iti would say. in the links they dont say how to, but they also want to avoid updating…
First of all thank you very much for this detailled solution.
I planned to do it these days. To check an usb-c ethernet adapter (completely a different topic) i plugged it into my eos phone. I saw it is working. By chance and i am still not sure if this is related to the adapter, i saw that the message “no internet” was gone. Maybe already before, i am not sure. I checked the app store which was always complaining and yes also this worked! So i made no upgrade and no change as proposed here and nevertheless it works now. Crazy.
Your help here in the forum is awesome. I take this opportunity to say this to all of you. Thanks!!
