Had an Fairphone 2 about 10 years ago but the camera was bad and i didnt like the Google stuff... But im thinking about giving it another try with the Fairphone 5 and e/Os by Murena.
I have a few questions before buying it and would really appreciate if anyone could help
Does Android Auto work with e/Os?
Did anyone ever try to use Fp5 with an Ethernetcable (in Flightmode)?
Any alternative to Apple Pay or Google Pay (that works in Germany)?
Anyone using the Murena Cloud with Fp5 and can share his/her experiences?
A quick internet search will lead you to Wero/the European Payments Initiative, which still is in an initial stage. Only bank transfers are possible, but the goal is a comprehensive digital payment service. So far, only a very small number of European banks have joined the program and its predecessor Giropay didn’t make it very far. Let’s see how far they get this time. Personally, I’m more of a cash person anyway, it doesn’t send any data …
I had already subscribed to 20 GB of Murena Cloud for my FP3 two years ago or so. At that time, I noticed that synchronization sometimes took a while to start. As the cloud has only recently become (almost) fully functional again, I can’t say much specifically about its use with the FP5, which I now own. However, I have noticed that synchronization is now much faster. A photo I had just taken was in the cloud in no time at all, whereas it used to take hours to be uploaded. But this may also be due to better cloud hardware or different default settings for synchronization intervals (which I never manually changed).
Does Android Auto work with e/Os?
I use Android Auto with Murena FP5.
I run it on a separate user with all required google apps installed. I had to turn on ‘test’ mode in Android Auto to enable apps like Spotify.
Not all apps work as in regular Android but Waze, Spotify, Google Maps, Tunein radio do work.
I didn’t test it since 2.8 upgrade so it might be better now …
